About the retreat
As I Am is a retreat for men that refers to the teachings and example of Jesus Christ to teach healthy male behavior; what we call “Christ-like Masculinity™.” It helps men grow beyond mental, emotional, and spiritual blocks that prevent them from being the man they want to be and from improving their relationship with Jesus Christ. The retreat promotes identity, fraternity, a purposeful life vision and a plan of action.

Topics Covered
Doug
This retreat changed me. What happened on the retreat was even more than I could have hoped for...
I made more progress in those couple of days than I had in 9 years.
I feel reborn, rejuvenated, and recommitted to my desire to love and follow and serve God and Christ.
Bill
This was a life changing and spiritual experience for me...
It was a memorable experience, a retreat that is unique, uplifting and rewarding.
I gained a new understanding of masculinity by following Christ's teachings and I encourage all to look and step into a new way of healing. Your reward will be greater than your investment.
Identity
Above all, this retreat is about identity. We invite you to go beneath labels,
titles, roles, accomplishments, and shame, and ask,
“Who am I?"
“Who am I really?”
After learning tools, identifying and clearing away obstacles and forming answers to that question, you are encouraged to look at your relationships. You will learn to relate intimately, and clearly with others by asking,
“Who are you?”
Finally, we challenge you to envision your identity in the community, by asking,
“Who am I as part of God’s creation?”
As I Am™ was first produced in 2017 and is offered several times annually. It is also available for groups seeking to sponsor it in their existing communities. Check the Events page for the next available opportunity to attend As I Am™ or contact us through this website to discuss sponsoring a retreat in your area.
