Welcome to Outpost 318

Where warriors gather to get real, get rugged, and get battle-ready.

This is more than a podcast. It's a movement for men who refuse to settle for soft faith and shallow living. Here, we tackle the hard stuff—mental battles, emotional wounds, physical discipline, and spiritual warfare.

Join us in the wild. Stand firm. Live forged.

You Weren’t Meant to Do Life Alone.

Outpost 318 isn’t just a podcast.
It’s not just a retreat.
It’s a movement of men who are done pretending, done isolating, and done carrying the weight alone.

We’re building a brotherhood forged in honesty, strength, and spiritual grit. This is for the man who’s ready to get real—and go further than he ever could on his own.

What Is the Brotherhood?

It’s a free, private Facebook community where:

✅ Men speak truth in love—without performance
✅ Struggles are met with sharpening, not shame
✅ Questions are welcome. Perfection is not.
✅ Real friendships are forged in the fire
✅ Faith isn’t a show—it’s the source of strength

This isn’t a group to scroll through and forget. It’s a digital Outpost for men in the real fight. And it just might be the lifeline you didn’t know you needed.

Who It's For:

  • Men of faith who feel disconnected

  • Husbands, fathers, leaders, and everyday warriors

  • Guys who are winning on the outside but worn down inside

  • Men who don’t want to play church—but want to walk with Christ

  • Anyone ready to drop the mask and pick up their true identity


The Rules of the Outpost:

1. Honor Christ
This is our foundation—not religion, but real faith in motion.

2. Speak truth in love
No posturing. No sugarcoating. Just honest words that build men up.

3. No judgment—only sharpening
We’re all in the battle. We don’t wound our own—we forge them.

4. Show up, stay engaged
Don’t lurk in silence. Brotherhood is built by showing up consistently.

5. What’s shared here stays here
This is a protected space. Privacy is non-negotiable.


Why It Matters:

Men today are more connected than ever—and more isolated than ever.
We carry silent pain, quiet questions, and unseen pressure.
But healing and strength only come through real connection.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” – Proverbs 27:17

If you're craving truth, tribe, and transformation—this is your sign.

Recalibrate:

The Men’s Retreat

You weren’t made to just survive. You were made to rise.
Welcome to Recalibrate—a 48-hour immersive experience where men drop the weight, reclaim their fire, and remember who they are.

What Is Recalibrate?

Recalibrate is a weekend retreat built for men who are tired of numbing out and ready to wake up.

We combine challenge, reflection, team breakthroughs, and solitude to help you:

  • 🔹 Reset your mind and spirit

  • 🔹 Connect with other men in real, raw ways

  • 🔹 Break through what’s been holding you back

  • 🔹 Hear from God and hear yourself again

You’ll walk in carrying weight you’ve never said out loud…
You’ll walk out lighter, clearer, and forged.

What’s Included

2 Nights Lodging

Shared cabins set in the woods—simple, rugged, intentional. No distractions. No noise. Just the sounds of fire and men doing work.

6 High-Protein Brotherhood Meals

Hot food, open fire, and tables full of conversation that cut past the surface.

Field Pack

Your retreat essentials:

  • Outpost 318 Notebook

  • Morale Patch

  • Fire Token: a physical symbol of what’s been burned away and what’s been reignited.

Morning Challenges

We start every day in motion. Not with workouts, but with movement that grounds you—trail hikes, breathwork, primal exercises that reset your nervous system and focus.

The Forge: Team Obstacle + Breakthrough

A high-impact group experience combining physical challenge, emotional honesty, and symbolic breakthrough.
The Forge isn’t about muscles—it’s about the moment you choose to let go of the mask and pick up something real.

Fire Circle Brotherhood

Raw talks around the fire. No judgment, no fluff—just men who show up and speak up. This is where the deepest breakthroughs happen.

Solo Trek

We send you out into the woods—alone—for a time of silence, reflection, and clarity.
The noise fades. The real you speaks.

Real Conversations. Real Change.

No shallow slogans. No surface-level advice. This is where men get real, sharpen each other, and leave changed.

Who It’s For

  • Men feeling disconnected or numb, even if life looks “successful”

  • Men who crave brotherhood, not just small talk

  • Men who’ve been carrying weight in silence and know something has to shift

  • Men who want to reset and reignite their mind, heart, and purpose

You don’t need to be in shape.
You don’t need to be “religious.”
You just need to show up.

Cost: $150 per person

Includes all meals, lodging, materials, and retreat programming.

Next Retreat Dates:

FALL 2025
Location: Guntersville, AL

Limited spots available. We keep it small on purpose.
This is a brotherhood, not a crowd.

You Ready?

Don’t wait for life to break you.
Step into the fire now—on purpose.
