Victory Weekend Veterans Retreat

Our Victory Weekend Retreat at the Lodestar Mountain Inn November 1-3 offers US military veterans and first responders the opportunity to fellowship with others who have served and provides a safe space to openly share concerns and heal from past and current wounds. Attendees will enjoy meaningful fireside discussions, participate in powerful prayer, and experience restoration. Guiding us through this amazing journey will be our dear friend Brad Huddleston.

Huddleston is an internationally respected speaker, consultant, teacher, and author on important issues such as technology and culture. He has worked with universities, schools, churches, and law enforcement. He has spoken to hundreds of thousands worldwide on the advantages of well-used technology tools and the dangers of the growing trend toward technology addiction. Brad has an ongoing collaboration with the Bureau of Market Research (BMR)—an independent company—and its Consumer Neuroscience Division at the University of South Africa. Brad has a degree in Computer Science and a Diploma of Biblical Studies. He is a frequent guest on radio and television and the author of Digital Rehab: Learning to Live Again in the Real World, Digital Cocaine: A Journey Toward iBalance, and The Dark Side of Technology: Restoring Balance in the Digital Age. Brad also hosts the international radio show “Brad Huddleston’s Techwise.”

Check in begins at 3:00 p.m. on Friday which allows plenty of time to settle in, meet other guests, and enjoy the serenity of the Smoke Hole Canyon before dinner at 6:00 in the Ebenezer Event Center. 

Saturday morning, we will enjoy breakfast together at 8:00 a.m. followed by special time with Brad. After lunch at noon, optional activities will include skeet shooting, hiking, fellowshipping, indoor and outdoor games, and UTV tours of the property.

Following breakfast at 8:00 Sunday morning, Scott Wenger will deliver an encouraging message and lead the group in prayer. A light lunch will be made available before checkout at noon.
