You weren’t meant to follow Jesus alone.
“Friendship matters for discipleship. We cannot follow Jesus alone.”
Phil Knox
This year’s theme: Friendship as Discipleship.
Most men don’t talk about friendship.
Fewer still make space for it.
But friendship isn’t a bonus.
It’s how faith grows.
It’s how men stay on mission.
Why It matters
In the UK, 11% of men have no close friends.
Most Christian men say they’ve never had a real conversation about their faith.
That changes here. But you have to show up.
“Two are better than one…” Ecclesiastes 4:9–10
Meet Phil Knox
Phil isn’t a celebrity preacher.
He’s a missiologist.
An author. A poet.
Someone who knows the gospel gets clearer when it’s lived in friendship.
He’ll guide us through why friendship is mission and how to build it.
What to expect
This isn’t a conference.
It’s a weekend that gets real.
- Teaching with bite and heart
- Conversations that mean something
- Honest worship, no pressure, no pretending
- Great food, shared spaces, time outdoors
- Optional challenges and quiet moments
- Men of all ages who’ve had enough of surface-level faith
Whether you come for rest, risk, or reconnection – you’ll find it.
Choose your weekend
Short or long weekend.
Both include teaching, food, and a full programme.
Come for what fits. Stay for what matters.
What this isn’t
It’s not a fix.
It’s not a church conference.
It’s not a men’s breakfast with a better venue.
But it might just be the thing you didn’t know you needed.
You in?
If this hits something in you, book your spot.
Or bring someone you know who needs it more than you do.
