Fathers Love Ministries empowers men to embrace their roles as fathers and leaders through spiritual growth, fellowship, and personal development, fostering strong families and communities rooted in love and faith.

Return To Woodlands &ndash; The Final Journey of the Heart invites men to step away from noise and return to a quiet place with God. In the stillness of the woods, we follow Jesus together, listening, praying, and allowing Him to speak to the deep places of our hearts. This year we will explore stories of the Wild at Heart journey through men who have lived the journey and experienced the healing they were searching for. &nbsp;John Eldridge will also be sharing his own journey of pain and discovery. I began this journey to the Michigan U.P. in 2008 with 4 other men, and over the years it has grown and touched so many of our lives. &nbsp;It&#39;s my hope you will use this opportunity to explore your own heart again as we share the stories of other men, and some of our own. Use this form to let us know you&rsquo;re coming, share any needs, and help us prepare a space of brotherhood, honesty, and renewed life in Christ. 🌲🙏

Return To Woodlands - The Final Journey

This new year we will do a review of the 6 stages of manhood, as taught by John Eldredge at the BraveCo Annual Men&#39;s Conference. John reminds us that &quot;Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.&quot;&nbsp;(Proverbs 12:23) I expect this to be a relaxing time of fellowship for our weekend together, an opportunity to disconnect from the distractions of life and engage together to begin a new year of renewal. We begin on Friday February 20 at Camp Little Eden. &nbsp;Cost will cover all lodging, meals, and materials. &nbsp;Men can arrive as early as 4pm. &nbsp;Dinner will be at 6pm. &nbsp;We will conclude with Sunday morning breakfast, final session of fellowship, and departure.&nbsp;&nbsp;

2026 Return to Little Eden Men's Gathering

This year as we continue the legacy of this brotherhood we will be having our annual Men&#39;s Retreat at <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.upbiblecamp.org/woodlands-campus" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: initial; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">U.P. Bible Camp Woodlands facility</a>. &nbsp;This event begins on Thursday September 11 and concludes on Sunday September 14. &nbsp; Modern life has trained us to expect instant answers, endless noise, and digital distraction. But in the midst of all this, many of us feel more disconnected from God than ever before. In Experience Jesus. Really., New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge invites you to rediscover what it means to truly encounter Jesus&mdash;not as a distant figure, but as a real, present, and life-giving companion. This weekend we will pursue connecting with the beauty of creation and experience the teaching that is intentional to help us disconnect from the noise of life and settle into a new reality of experiencing the presence of God! We hope you can join us this year in September.&nbsp; Registration is limited.
