Five days. One house. Step in fully.

A five-day residential stay inside the full rhythm of The Den. Not a visit. A complete step in — beginning Sunday evening, ending Saturday morning.

Who this is for

Men who are ready
to seek.

The Guest Experience is open to men 18 and older from across the United States. It is for those who sense something is missing — clarity, structure, discipline, direction — and are ready to pursue it seriously.

This environment requires presence, participation, and a genuine readiness to engage fully. You are not coming to observe. You are coming to step in.

"What you bring
into the week will shape
what you take from it."

Men who are seeking

Guests come to The Den looking for one or more of these: clarity in direction when the path ahead is unclear; structure in daily life that produces lasting habits; consistency in discipline that holds beyond motivation; and deeper alignment in their walk with Christ. If any of these resonate, this week was designed for you.

  • →Clarity in direction
  • →Structure in daily life
  • →Consistency in discipline
  • →Deeper alignment with Christ
Daily structure

You are not observing.
You are living it.

Guests enter into the full rhythm of the house — the same rhythm that shapes life at The Den every day. There is no modified version, no lighter track. You step in, and the structure holds you.

⌂

Shared Housing

You live inside the house for the full five days. Shared space, shared life — the environment itself is part of the formation.

✦

Daily Meals

Meals are provided and shared communally. The table is a place of relationship, not just refueling.

◈

Guided Schedule

Each day follows a defined structure — intentional, consistent, and built to form habit over the course of the week.

◎

Physical Training

The body is not exempt from the work. Physical training is woven into the daily rhythm as a practice of discipline and readiness.

✎

Study & Application

Grounded in God's word — study that moves from understanding into practice, not merely knowledge for its own sake.

✝

Spiritual Practice

Prayer, reflection, and time before God. The spiritual life is not one module — it is the center that everything else orbits.

Capacity

Intentionally
small.

Each residency cycle holds only four guests. The smallness is deliberate — it is what makes real interaction, direct advisement, and meaningful accountability possible.

Four
per week.

A small group is not a limitation. It is the design. Four guests means every man is known by name, seen in daily life, and engaged with directly by leadership. There is no back row here. Spots are limited and reviewed carefully — each application is considered with attention to readiness and alignment.

Direct Interaction Personal Advisement Meaningful Accountability Focused Environment
The process

Entry is
intentional.

Coming to The Den is not a transaction — it is a discernment process. Each step is designed to confirm alignment and readiness before arrival, ensuring that the week serves you well.

Investment

One week.
$800.

The Guest Experience is $800 for the full five-day residency. This covers everything within the house — nothing else is needed to participate fully.

What's Covered

Everything inside the house.

Your investment covers the full week of shared housing, all daily meals, the guided daily schedule, and access to every session, practice, and activity throughout the residency.

  • Shared housing for five nights
  • All daily meals, communal
  • Full daily structure and schedule
  • Every session, practice, and activity

What It Supports

More than your stay.

Your investment sustains both your week and the ongoing work of The Den. The house runs year-round — its mission, its hospitality, and its capacity to receive men like you. What you give here carries beyond your departure.

  • The ongoing mission of The Den
  • Future guest residencies
  • Continued pastoral hospitality
  • The environment that serves you
Expectation

Fully present.
Fully engaged.

This is a participatory environment. Guests are expected to give themselves to the week without reservation — not as attendees, but as men who have chosen to be here and are prepared to honor that choice.

→ Follow the daily rhythm from morning to evening, without exception
→ Engage in every scheduled practice — physical, spiritual, and relational
→ Remain present and accountable to leadership throughout the week
→ Contribute to the shared environment — the house belongs to everyone in it

What you bring in

The week will give back what you put into it — and often more. Men who arrive with a posture of openness, willingness, and honest readiness tend to leave with the most. The environment is designed to meet you where you are and move you forward. But the posture has to be yours.

Four spots. One week.

If you're ready to step in —
we'd like to hear from you.

To seek clarity, build structure, and grow in your walk with Christ. The Den is ready to receive you.
