Riach Men's Group · Broken Bow, Oklahoma
One weekend, no distractions — just deeper roots with God and the men beside us.
Two nights in the pines of southeast Oklahoma. Unplug, no distractions — just brothers, and a time to hear from the Lord.

The Vision
Why we're going
Go Deeper
The main purpose of the weekend: knowing each other past the surface. Real stories, real questions, real brotherhood.
Hear from the Lord
Built-in solitude, a time to worship, seek the Lord, hear a message. And space to hear from the Lord.
Unplugged
Minimal phone usage upon arrival — let's be intentional. Two days where nothing buzzes and nobody scrolls.
Every Man Owns Something
This isn't a retreat you attend — it's one we build. Every man carries a piece of the weekend: a devotional, a meal, a workout, an activity.
The Dates
Two options — your vote decides
September 5–7
Saturday – Monday · Labor Day weekend
October 9–11
Friday – Sunday
Check the weekend that works for you in the sign-up form. The final date gets announced once everyone's in.
The Agenda · Draft
The shape of the weekend
Night One
- Roll in, unplug, get settled
- Opening round: “What do you want from this weekend — and what do you hope to leave behind?”
- Dinner together
- Worship and a message
The Full Day
- Quiet time and solitude — hear from the Lord
- Morning workout, then breakfast
- Get outside: hiking, fishing, games
- Lunch, then time to connect: “Where have I been, where am I now, what's next?”
- Dinner, then intentional time/activity, etc.
Final Morning
- Workout or slow coffee — your call
- Breakfast
- Closing charge, prayer, and commissioning
- Pack out, head home sharpened
One more thing: there could be an activity no one gets told about in advance, so just come prepared.
Draft agenda — the final schedule comes together after signups, and every man will own a piece of it.

The Place
Broken Bow, Oklahoma
Pine forest, Broken Bow Lake, and the Mountain Fork River — the Beavers Bend area is about a three-hour drive from DFW and feels a lot further away than that. We'll book a cabin big enough for all of us once the headcount is set.
Address
Exact cabin address drops here once the Airbnb is booked.
The Roster
Who's in
23 men are in so far · 11 confirmed with a deposit.
✓ = deposit already in. No checkmark just means we haven't collected yours yet — that comes once the weekend is locked.
After The Date Is Set
The $50 deposit comes later
First we pick the weekend from everyone's votes. Once it's locked in, we'll reach out to collect the $50 deposit — it counts toward your total for the cabin and food. Want to send it early? Venmo works anytime.
Deposits go to Will — he's collecting the money for the trip, so Venmo will show his name (@AwawaHawaii) when you pay. That's expected.
