A weekend of connection with guest speaker John Lynch, author of The Cure.
October 9-11, 2026
Springville Camp & Conference Center
CONNECT is a chance to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with God, yourself, and others. Whether you’re actively in recovery or just wanting deeper connection, rest, and meaningful time with other men, the weekend is designed to create space for exactly that.
Unlike the deeper therapeutic focus of the Roots Retreat, CONNECT is centered more around support, brotherhood, and encouragement.
CONNECT is designed for men in the Awaken community but is open to all men. Please feel free to invite your friends to join us! We will not offer meeting-style confidentiality. Let us know if you have questions about this.
Our Speaker, John Lynch

After 27 years as the teaching pastor at Open Door Fellowship in Phoenix, Arizona, John joined Trueface in 1997 and began speaking nationally and both authoring and coauthoring many resources such as The Cure and TrueFaced, and his own story in On My Worst Day.
