This is for the couple who is done figuring it out alone.
Most couples we serve see themselves in more than one of these.
Stuck in
the Climb
You built something real, then the growth stalled. The way of operating that got you here quit working, and you cannot see the next move. You are not short on ideas. You are short on clarity.
Running
on Empty
You have the capacity and the calling, but there is nothing left in the tank. The work that once felt like a gift started feeling like a weight, and a real decision is in front of you while you are too worn down to make it well.
Scaling Without Sacrifice
You have momentum and you want to take it higher, but not the way you did it last time, when your marriage, your health, and your family paid the price. You need a way forward that is not a choice between the calling and the people you are called to, and a clear, strategic plan to get there.
What Now, Together
The business sold. The kids moved out. The chapter that shaped the last twenty years is closing, and a bigger question is in front of you. What are we building together with what we have left?
Successful and Sidelined
You have already won in the marketplace, and the win is real. So is the quiet sense that you were made for more than the next deal. You are ready to put what you built to work for the Kingdom, and you just need help seeing what that looks like.
If this sounds like your last six months, keep reading.
Your schedule is running you. You took on more than you should have, said yes when you meant no, and somewhere along the way the calling started to feel like a weight instead of a gift. You are not lazy. You are not faithless. You are exhausted in a way you have not said out loud to anyone.
For many couples, it doesn’t show up all at once. It shows up in quiet fatigue, shorter conversations, and the sense that there isn’t enough space to think clearly anymore.
One is often carrying the weight of keeping everything moving – work, responsibility, decisions. The other is holding the home together, supporting the vision, and quietly wondering where change, if any, can actually happen.
You have been trying to figure this out alone. Or you have been talking about figuring it out alone. Or you have been too tired to do either.
Most people don’t talk about it out loud. They just try to keep going.
That’s the space Tentmakers was created for.
Not just rest. Not just strategy. A place for both – clear conversation, honest reflection, and time to step out of the noise long enough to see what’s actually next.
Rest with a roadmap. That is what this is. Not just rest. Not just strategy. Both, at the same time, in the mountains of Montana, led by the Holy Spirit.
Different Titles. Same Story.
Tentmakers has served business owners and pastors, authors and professional athletes, ministry founders and marketplace leaders. What they all had in common was not their industry or their income. It was this: they were married, they were at a pivotal moment, and they were both ready to stop being reactive and start building the life God designed for them.
Both spouses come. That is not optional. That’s the whole point.
One person leaving with a new vision and returning to a spouse who does not share it is one of the most common ways a great retreat fails. Tentmakers is designed for the couple, not just the leader.
Most couples we serve see themselves in more than one of these.
Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs
You have built something real: revenue, a team, a market position. But the business outgrew your original operating system, and you found yourself running harder than ever with less margin than you started with. You know something has to change. You just haven’t had the space to step back and figure out what.
You come to Tentmakers to step out of the noise, identify where you are operating outside your strengths, and leave with a clear picture for what the next season is supposed to look like. Not just for the business, but for your marriage and your family, too.
Ministry Leaders and Pastors
You are reaching people. The mission is moving. But behind the scenes the systems are not keeping up with the vision, the fundraising is unpredictable, and you are carrying a weight you were never supposed to carry alone. You cannot be vulnerable with your team. You cannot slow down long enough to hear from God. And your spouse is somewhere in the background wondering when you are going to come back.
You come to Tentmakers to rest, hear from God without the noise of ministry in the room, and leave with a roadmap that actually accounts for your family, not just your organization.
Authors and Speakers
You have a message. You know it. You feel it. But the path from what God put in you to what lands on a stage or a page or a platform is harder than anyone told you it would be. You are doing too many things, saying yes to the wrong opportunities, and spending your energy in areas of competence when you should be living in your area of unique ability.
You come to Tentmakers for clarity on your lane and your message. And for the leaders who are called to write or speak, Erin runs a proprietary five step framework specifically designed to mine the gold out of your story and help you tell the message you were born to tell.
This is not for everyone. Here is how you know it is for you.
Tentmakers is not a good fit for people who are comfortable where they are. It is not for people who want inspiration without execution, or who will leave and never open the roadmap again. Brent and Erin have served enough leaders to know the difference.
You are ready for this if:
- Both of you are showing up, not just the one who made the call.
- You are humble enough to hear things that are hard and teachable enough to act on them.
- You are done being reactive and ready to be intentional, even if that feels uncomfortable.
- You are willing to actually unplug. Not just physically leave, but mentally set it down long enough for God to get a word in.
- You understand that the roadmap only works if you execute it, and
you are ready to do the work.
If you are in that place, or even close to it, the application is the right next step. Brent and Erin read every one personally and reach out directly. No automated response. No sales call. Just two people who believe God brought you here.
