2026 Men’s Retreat
The story of the prodigal son from Luke 15 is one we know well. In fact, maybe we know it too well. We’ve heard it in Sunday School, preached from the pulpit, retold in countless sermons, so familiar that we assume we’ve already mined it for all it’s worth. But have we committed one of Jesus’ most famous parables to memory and convinced ourselves we’ve already figured it out? What if this story still has sharp edges and fresh surprises for us today? What might it reveal specifically to fathers, brothers, grandfathers, and sons about wandering and returning, resentment and reconciliation, weakness and strength, sin and grace? Join us as we look at the parable of the prodigal son with fresh eyes, listening not only for what it meant then, but for what it speaks into our lives now. Together we’ll explore how the relentless grace of the Father shapes our vocations as men in our homes, churches, and communities. Come to be encouraged, challenged, and renewed as we gather around a story that refuses to grow old.
