Pastors Backstage Retreat~ June 23-25, 2025
2025-06-23 13:00 - 2025-06-25 11:00 | JJ Ranch, 20887 M-32, Hillman, MI, 49746, United States
If you’re a Pastor, this retreat is for you! Not the preacher, the planner, or the leader everyone looks to. This is for the man behind all of that—the real you. The one God sees and loves, not for what you do, but simply because you belong to Him.In a ministry culture that celebrates and rewards the frontstage—your sermons, your strategies, your success—it’s easy to neglect the backstage: your soul. But the spiritual health of your frontstage life depends entirely on the kind of life you’re cultivating with God behind the scenes.
The Backstage Retreat is an invitation to step away from performance and pressure and into Love’s Presence. It’s a sacred space to slow down, breathe deep, and remember (or maybe discover for the first time) that you are more than your pastoral role—and you are not alone.
Through three core movements—Slowing, Sitting, and Surrendering—you’ll be gently guided into practices of personal reflection, meaningful conversation, and quiet prayer rooted in stillness, honesty, and deep listening.This Retreat isn’t about fixing yourself by trying harder or doing more. It’s about slowing down to open yourself up to God’s loving presence—and allowing Him to meet you right where you are, even in those difficult places you’d rather avoid.

Rebuild: The Ezra Story

Join Dr. Scott Engelman for a new monthly men’s gathering called Rebuild: The Ezra Story, created to strengthen and encourage you.
The book of Ezra gives us a strong, honest picture of how God rebuilds what is broken—how He restores a man’s heart, renews his courage, and calls him back into His story. It’s a story every man can find himself in.
This new monthly gathering will work synergistically with our ongoing Saturday morning AHM Connect, giving you two opportunities each month to grow, connect, and be strengthened as men.
Whether you’re steady, searching, or struggling through a hard season—you’re welcome. Come ready to be encouraged and challenged.

MORE THAN THIS – Recovering the Life You Were Made For
A Yearlong Men’s Journey Beginning January | Every Second Saturday, 9–10 AM
Every man reaches a point where he quietly wonders, “Is this all there is?” You work hard. You carry responsibility. You try to do what’s right. But deep down, you know you were made for more than just getting through the week.
More Than This is a yearlong journey for men who want clarity, direction, and a story worth living. Built around Dr. Scott Engelman’s forthcoming book, The Story You Were Made For, this series gives you a high-level look at who God is, who you are, and how real change actually happens.
Over twelve months we’ll explore three essentials every man needs to grow:
1. God’s Larger Story — not just Sunday school tales or biblical principles, but the big, sweeping story of Scripture that gives you purpose, identity, and direction in a confusing world.
2. Your Own Story — the story you’ve been living—often without realizing it—shaped in childhood, reinforced in adulthood, and silently determining how you react, relate, and respond to the world around you.
3. Aligning Your Story With God’s — the kind of transformation that doesn’t come from trying harder, but from surrendering your smaller story to the One who can rewrite it. This is the heart of real Christian discipleship and the key to becoming the man God created you to be.
Each monthly gathering includes straightforward teaching, honest discussion, and time for
Q&A. No fluff. No clichés. No BS spirituality—just men pursuing the life they were made for.

Join us every second Saturday, 9–10 AM. You were made for more than this.
