2022 Week 8
I came to TWA thinking that it was not likely going to be very impactful for me. I thought I would enjoy some good food, beautiful country and get to fly fish. Well I did enjoy amazing food, beautiful country and awesome fishing but so much more! I discovered so much about myself and about the most significant things of life.
Adventure is something I have always needed. It recharges my soul and reminds me of how beautiful this life truly is. This week has provided me with great stories and renewed spirit.
Real men sharing real life experiences. Learning and growing together in an amazing location. Not the typical men's retreat.

2022 Weeks
The Wild Adventure is transformational! TWA has created a space, an environment and safe place for men to be real. to let down their guard and truly look at themselves. It's life changing.
This time was a powerful time to connect with other men. To pursue Jesus and life from a new lens and grow in my own heart and relationship with Jesus. And we had great fishing too!
If you want to be challenged with taking a look into your heart and discovering who God made you to be, the Wild Adventure is for you. The Fakers, Liars and Inauthentic need not apply. This is for men who are serious about God, their family and His purpose for their life.
The opportunity to have your heart and soul to a group of men, most of whom are strangers, is incredibly powerful. Partnering with them is life changing and inspiring.

If you're looking for a time to unplug, connect with a group of great men, and soak in an atmosphere that is unparalleled in beauty, TWA is the right fit for you.
This week is all about big sky, big fish, big f&b and big conversations about stuff that really matters.
Great experience with men who desire to be men of God. Good fellowship, fishing and excellent food.
I came to the Wild Adventure with some hesitation as to the content and methods that would be used to explore my heart, but I found a loving and accepting and safe environment in which we could explore the wounds and face some realities of what we needed to do to experience some healing.
Unexplainable really…yet fully engaging, inwardly transformative and renewing through and through. With plenty of fish to be caught.
At the Wild Adventure I experienced the thrill of setting the hook on a rainbow trout and reeling her in; I saw the sunrise over majestic mountains and savored meals around a table filled with conversations and laughter. But most of all I connected with God intimately and was pushed beyond my expectations, so I leave a fuller man and expand to live life for God's glory at home.
Wild Adventure was an amazing week with Godly men enjoying time with God out in his creation and in discussion and prayer. The recreational activities are such a joy in a beautiful place, while striving to be joyful in your relationship with the Lord.
Distractions often keep me from my true joys. TWA removes distractions and focuses on what truly matters, with a band of brothers. The experience renewed me and strengthened me for living fully alive.
This time provided the environment for God to speak to me through the raw, completed and beautiful life-stories of the men here with me. The truth, I struggle to accept above myself – that God loves me unreservedly, that He values me tremendously, that He pursues me doggedly – these were so evident in others' stories that I was able to accept these truths for myself as well.
The week at Smiling Moose Lodge was a wonderful chance to hear from God in the beauty of the Montana mountains, in the company of old and new friends, with amazing food, rich conviction and plentiful trout to bait.

The week is on unparalleled opportunity to take a much-needed reprieve from the cycle of everyday life, to experience nature in its purest, most majestic form, while making deep connections that you don't expect.
Getting away from the daily grind and unplugging and spending time in God's creation at the breathtaking Smiling Moose Lodge helped me become fully alive.
Come and discover or rediscover the beauty of God's creation away from the busyness and distractions of life. Come and experience the power of god's redemptive love and sacrifice in the story of other men and in your own story. Come and be fed abundantly both physically and spiritually.
When first invited to participate from a friend, I knew I wasn't a fly fisherman and had no clue how to fish. However, I had heard Montana was beautiful and I knew 7 or 8 of the other men in the group so I said YES and looked forward to getting to know them better and being enriched by God and the others. By the way, I ended up loving the fishing too.
To remove yourself from what is the everyday and reflect on what is the eternal.

TWA was an incredible experience for me because I was able to re-connect with God and my Christian brothers in the most beautiful and relaxing place in Montana. TWA is a perfect combination of fly fishing, Christian fellowship and soul-searching prayer time.
What a great week! Listening to others share their story was powerful. But sharing my own was even more so – for my future walk with the Lord and loved ones.

Such an amazing adventure! Do this now!!
The TWA experience was a great format, based upon terrific content and in a breath-taking setting – all of which opened my mind and heart to issues I needed to seriously and sincerely consider, especially at this stage of my life as a husband and father.
I came not knowing what to expect – left knowing I was meant to go through the adventure for my own peace of mind.
A much-needed adventure for this man, who needed to get his life back.
This week has opened my eyes to the battles we face each day. Battles we do not recognize. It enabled me to join forces with men I now consider brother to strengthen my faith and relationships with others, especially my family.
Great week in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Fly fishing, disconnecting from "the world."
TWA is what most men need today. They don't need something else to do, they need their hearts opened up to hear and know the truest form of the man God created them to be.
A great experience that is the "time out" we must always take to recalibrate.
The Wild Adventure may change your life. It certainly changed mine. Fantastic fellowship, food and fishing. You don't have to know how to fly fish, they will teach you. I can't think of a better way to spend time with God. For me it was a $3K therapy sessions.
It's a challenging and supportive environment to get to know who you are and what you can become as a man. And the fly fishing is great, to be outdoors in God's magnificent creation.
This is an amazing adventure with incredible food, where you explore your inner man as God made you and meet some of your best long-time friends…oh, and catch some aware winning fish!
Are you bored with church or looking for your next phase of life…The Wild Adventure is the perfect investment for you. This is a great way to learn about yourself and your relationship with God. What could be better than that?
What is good about T.W.A.? Great food / Great content / Great fishing / Great fellowship / New friends / Challenging discussions.
I had a great time! Everything I expected. Great lodging, amazing food. Great leadership. It was affordable for everything we got. What a great time!
.One of the best weeks of my life. I only wish I would have had the opportunity to go years ago.
I wasn't sure what to expect from TWA, but agreed at least I'd get to meet some Christian men and fish. Boy was I wrong. TWA was transformational! A chance to commune with like-minded men, reflect and re-claim our hearts and dangerous selves. I will never be the same. And I got to eat great food and fish!
I have been to many other Christian retreats for men, but Wild Adventure challenged me much more than the others. I was challenged constantly and consistently through my time there to love God, my wife, my family and others in new and better ways.
Aside from the good fishing and great food it provides and opportunity to look inward into yourself.
Discover your heart and story while fishing in God's outdoor majesty.
I get it, it's hard to create the space to get away from family and work. The relational ROI is worth it! Connecting to the Lord, your heart and the men was an excellent use of time and money.

.I don't come for the fishing. I came to enjoy God's immense creation and connect with Kim. I experienced so much more. I found new friends and a focus for my wife and family that I desperately needed. Thank you.
The level of depth, sincerity, and tear-filled emotional connection is hard to match.
Come to the TWA to get your heart back and bring your friends or family. The fishing is always fun and great and God shows up in amazing and healing ways.
If you find yourself sad and weeping, you will find that you are not alone, God is with you, and God weeps with you.
Why go through the rest of your life alone when you can come to the mountains and gain a new heart?
TWA helped me reopen my heart. The ranch and the mountains were the setting that unlocked my soul.
My heart felt like a dry, tired desert. TWA was like a spring rain that brought back the life and beauty that God intends.
Your life is worth it. The world needs good men (you). One life – take time to reflect on how to yours count.
Time to get away, relax, reflect on life and yourself. The people are great, the food is amazing and the views are out of this world.
You've never had a vacation like this before.
I'll try to describe the young guns experience without going into cliches or grandiose statements – an impressive, open-minded group of men who fly fish in the most private, beautiful part of Montana and have the time and space to talk about what matters to them.
The organizational side of this men's ministry is amazing. George's leadership is invaluable. Ed's organizing the return travel was amazing. The airlines were changing and cancelling flights left and right but somehow he made it work for everyone.
Making an impression on my soul that will last forever. Great guys are a bonus.
We need more ministries that address men's issues. This program was life changing in many ways and it opened up the door for long lasting friendships with men who will be there to fellowship with and strengthen my walk with God.
TWA clearly outlined and opened my heart and mind to the questions that I have been asking for years.

Best week of my life as a man in a beautiful rugged Montana setting with 12 guys to enjoy the outdoors, get to the root of one's soul and speak with God. It clears your head of clutter and day to day distractions to work on you!
The Wild Adventure provided a safe and positive space to shape my life experience and helped me to understand I'm not alone in my pain and doubts.
TWA is the perfect opportunity to heal the mind and soul while enjoying great friends, great food and awesome fishing.
It's amazing how in just a few days you can get into fellow men's hearts and really ask the questions we all need to contemplate. All while having an amazing week of fellowship and fly-fishing.
Filled with beneficial thought-provoking discussions. Camaraderie rarely experienced elsewhere. Exhilarating fishing experience.
Absolutely memorable. Unforgettable food, fishing, camaraderie and encouragement. A challenging and motivating week. An opportunity to explore one's inner self in the majesty of God's creation.
