You are building something that matters.
Don't build it at the expense of
what matters most.
You’ll sit with a husband-and-wife team who have built, failed, rebuilt, and scaled, and who have walked alongside more than sixty couples in a single year. Together, we help you listen more clearly to God’s direction, strengthen your marriage, and leave with a plan you can actually live out.
This isn’t a conference. It isn’t a program.
It’s practical guidance that can shift the direction of your marriage, your ministry, and your life.
Which of you asked for this trip?
Most couples who come to Tentmakers arrive together on the same plane but carrying two different versions of the same question:
“How do we build what matters without building it out of alignment with the life it’s meant to support?”
You’re both capable.
Both driven.
Both called.
You’ve led. You’ve built. You’ve served. You’ve said yes to meaningful things.
But somewhere along the way, the pace required to build the vision started competing with the life you hoped the vision would create.
The calendar filled.
The responsibilities multiplied.
The margin disappeared.
And now you’re asking:
What do we need to stop carrying?
What deserves our energy in this season?
What is actually ours to say yes to?
How do we move forward with greater impact, without sacrificing our marriage, our family, or our health?
Because the goal was never one person carrying the vision while the other keeps everything else running.
God created both of you with unique gifts, influence, and purpose.
Your callings were never meant to compete.
They were meant to intertwine and drive toward one shared mission.
Tentmakers creates the space to step away from the noise, uncover what matters most, and build a roadmap for the season ahead.
Not a formula.
Not a binder.
Not a one-size-fits-all plan.
A personalized blueprint built around your marriage, your gifts, your family, and the mission God has placed in front of you.
Because the breakthrough isn’t just the time away.
It’s what happens when you come home, and your priorities, decisions, schedule, and leadership finally move in the same direction.
Both of you need this.
And Tentmakers is built for both of you.
Rest. Hear from God. Build. Then go home and execute.
Tentmakers is an immersive, tailored experience for couples in Whitefish, Montana. Come carrying the weight of decisions, responsibilities, and unanswered questions. Leave rested, aligned, and equipped with clear vision for where God is leading you and how to move forward.
Most leaders never have this kind of opportunity: Brent & Erin opening their home, sitting with you in the middle of real life, asking the questions no one else has had the patience to ask, and helping you uncover what God is already speaking into this season.
Not just a moment on the mountain.
A way forward when you return to real life.
Their process is not scripted. Never cookie-cutter. Always personal. No packaged answers. Every engagement is built from scratch around who you are, where you are, and where God is calling you. The Holy Spirit leads. Montana holds the space.
You will not leave with ideas that fade on the flight home. You will leave with a written, executable plan in your hands: clear next steps for your marriage, your family, and your calling so the clarity you gain here becomes the way you actually live when you return home.
HOW IT WORKS
Three Steps. A Lifetime of Fruit.
APPLY
Both of you fill out the application individually. Tell us where you are. We read everything and reach out personally.
Come to Montana
Step away from the noise. Be served. Do the deep work alongside Brent and Erin. Let the mountains, wilderness and the Holy Spirit give you what endless Zoom calls and crowded calendars never could: rest with a roadmap.
Go Home and Build
You leave with a written plan, reverse engineered from where God is calling you and post-engagement support to ensure a smooth transition and continued success. Not a vision board. Marching orders you can actually execute in real life.
A husband and wife serving husbands and wives.
Most advisors hand you a vision and leave. Most retreats send you home inspired and back to the same schedule by Thursday.
Brent and Erin are different because of what they each bring, and because of what they bring together.
Brent
Brent is the visionary and strategist. He sees years ahead, helps name where God is calling you, and works backward to build a path that actually gets you there. He has built a multimillion-dollar company and spent years alongside leaders whose influence reaches hundreds of millions of people. But what makes him different isn’t just what he’s built. It’s that he understands what it costs. When he says he’s been where you are, including the exhaustion you don’t always say out loud, he means it.
ERIN
Erin is the executor. She takes the vision Brent names and turns it into practical structure: checklists, calendars, and daily rhythms a tired couple can follow when they return home. She helps draw out what’s been buried under overwhelm and gives language to what's been quietly carried for too long. For leaders called to write or speak, she guides a proprietary five-step framework that uncovers your story and shapes it into a clear, compelling message. Erin is a bestselling author of thirteen books, founder of Bible Belles and Truth Becomes Her, and has spoken to more than one million people. A cancer survivor who fought many years to be here, she knows what it means to stand in the middle of a hard story and keep building anyway.
TOGETHER
A woman can draw out of a wife what no man can. A couple can see in a couple what a single advisor never will. You are not getting one expert and a spectator. You are getting two people who can see the whole of your marriage and your calling and help you run your race as one team.

Most advisors give you a vision. We help you hear what God’s been trying to say and build you the plan that makes it real.
For your marriage. For your family. For everything you are called to build.
The real test of any retreat isn’t what happens in the room. It’s Monday morning.
You go home with fire in your heart, but the same calendar is there, waiting for you.
Tentmakers is built differently. Brent shapes the direction and designs the plan. Erin ensures it becomes doable in real life.
What you leave with is not a vision board. It’s a daily, doable blueprint, built from who you are and where God is calling you.
Our fruit grows on other people’s trees. We measure success by what’s happening six months after you leave, not by how you feel on the drive to the airport.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This was always meant to take both of you.
Get this right, and there is no ceiling on what you build together.
Tentmakers serves married couples ready to build their calling and their family team at the same time, not one at the expense of the other. Business leaders, ministry leaders, authors, speakers, athletes, pastors. The only qualification is that you’re both all in.
You are right for this if:
- Both of you are willing to show up fully, not just the one who made the call.
- You are humble, hungry, and willing to execute, not just inspired and nodding.
- You are ready to let God take the conversation where He wants it to go, even if that is not where you planned.
If you have read this far, you already know.
Most people who find Tentmakers were sent here by someone whose life changed. If that is you, we do not think that is an accident.
The first step is the application. Both spouses fill it out individually. We read everything, we pray over it, and we reach out personally. No automated responses. No sales funnel.
Just two people who believe God brought you here.
