Let’s be honest: life can be difficult on a good day and brutal at the worst. One of the results of this reality is that our faith and hope can end up dampened, diminished and almost destroyed. That’s where renewHOPE events come in - these are transformational experiences that have proven over time to renew great hope in people’s hearts. Some of these take place in an intensive format of a half day, whole day, or weekend, while others take place weekly for a series of sessions. These events are so powerful that we consider them “core” experiences - they are so important that everyone is encouraged to participate in each one at least once in their life (although repeat attendees are welcome!). If you’re longing for a renewed sense of hope for your heart, mind, and soul, these events are for you!
Men's Fall Retreat - September 25-28th, 2025
Welcome to the adventure of Hope Men's Fall Retreat 2025! This year we are offering two simultaneous retreat experiences on one weekend in one breathtaking location: Wild at Heart BASIC (4 days) and Wild at Heart SURVIVAL SCHOOL (brand new event we've never offered).
If you've never been through Wild at Heart BASIC (previously called Boot Camp), you are highly encouraged to invest 4 days to get your heart back on a quest into the recovery of your masculine soul. Wild at Heart BASIC is more than a retreat – it is an expedition of the heart that will change your life forever. It's an experience we pray every man will experience at least once in a lifetime. You will never be the same! Watch the video trailer at https://vimeo.com/1004613657 (Dates on the video say 2024, but the content is the same)
Wild at Heart BASIC attendees are REQUIRED to attend all four days to get the full Wild at Heart BASIC experience - beginning 7pm Thursday September 25th through 12:30 pm Sunday September 28th. It will be worth it and you get an extra day in the mountains!
Wild at Heart SURVIVAL SCHOOL will also begin on Thursday evening Sept 25th at 7pm and will go until Sunday Sept 28th around noon. This retreat follows up on BASIC and is designed for men who are looking to go beyond initiation and dive into a life of radical discipleship. In today’s world, it’s not enough to survive—you need to thrive. Survival School is the manual for doing just that. You’ll be invited to step into the heart of reality, where Jesus Christ is not just an idea but the integrating force of all things, including your life. These sessions are unapologetic, real, and designed to help you navigate life’s deepest challenges with a new strength.
Through ten sessions of immersive teaching, you'll learn how to connect more deeply with God, find stability in chaotic times, and live out your calling as a man. You are highly encouraged to invest in your heart by attending all four days, but please contact Pastor Peter at if you are not able to arrive on Thursday.

This event takes place at Tall Timber Ranch by Lake Wenatchee (about 2.5 to 3 hours from West Seattle).
