Men of Iron Podcast
Solitude & Retreat | EP. 171
“Jesus exemplified this idea of doing life with a small group of men.” – Scott Davis
On EP. 171 Scott is back as he continues the conversation about solitude, this week focusing on retreat. A retreat is another opportunity to get away and find some space, but with a group of like-minded men. Men, we need to get serious about getting away with a group of friends to talk about things that really matter. A retreat allows you the opportunity to hit pause, talk about your struggles with other men, and put a plan in place for the future. Jesus exemplified this idea of doing life with a small group of men, with His 12 disciples. The spiritual discipline of solitude, and getting away on a retreat with like-minded men will help you become the man God has called you to be!
