About Outdoor Truths Circle Events.
Outdoor Truths Circle Events: Where Brotherhood and Faith Meet
We started these gatherings years ago without a formal name or the scale they have today. What we discovered along the way was simple—men love the outdoors, and they thrive on fellowship. Regardless of background or level of spiritual maturity, we find common ground in shared experiences—whether it’s sitting in a hunting blind, fishing from the same boat, competing in a cornhole tournament, or just swapping stories around a campfire. As these events grew, they took on a life of their own, becoming a powerful tool for spiritual growth. We knew we had to replicate them as often and in as many places as possible. And so, Circle Events were born.
What is a Circle Event?
A Circle Event is a small, intentional gathering of 12 men, designed to foster meaningful connections and deep conversations. These events are built around the outdoors—hunting, fishing, golfing—but more than that, they provide a space for faith, reflection, and camaraderie. Events typically begin on a Thursday or Friday and conclude Sunday morning. The foundation of a Circle Event is simple: 12 men, no more than three nights.
Why the Name “Circle Events”?
Because we believe the greatest spiritual growth happens in circles, not rows.
Who Are Circle Events For?
Circle Events are designed for men at any stage of their faith journey—whether you’re a lifelong believer, just starting to explore your faith, or even questioning the very existence of God. Every lesson Gary shares is crafted to encourage men and tackle some of life’s toughest spiritual questions in a safe, non-judgmental space.
What Do We Do at a Circle Event?
At its core, a Circle Event revolves around shared outdoor experiences—hunting, fishing, golfing, or other adventures. But let’s not forget one of the most important parts—the food. Here, meals aren’t an afterthought; they’re a central part of the experience. The preparation, the conversations around the table, and the act of breaking bread together all play a key role in fostering connection.
Oh, and did we mention? Just by attending, every participant has a chance to win a gun, fishing rod, or golf club!
How Do Circle Events Work?
Each event has a host who organizes the activities, food, and lodging. The host may enlist attendees to help with things like cooking and cleanup. While every event has its unique touches, all follow the foundational principles of Circle Events. And just so you know, some hosts may choose to include adult beverages.
Who Can Attend?
Any man over 21 is welcome.
If this is your first time, you can attend at no charge. The cost is covered by a sponsor or friend who wants to invest in you.
For returning attendees, costs typically range from $350 to $550, covering lodging, food, and activity expenses (such as golf rounds or boat rentals). Travel and license fees are not included.
What You’ll Never Be Asked to Do
We know that if you’re attending for the first time, you might be uncertain about what to expect. So, here’s our promise:
We will never ask you to:
- Pray out loud.
- Read Scripture in front of the group.
- Make a public spiritual decision.
- Discuss your personal faith journey in a way that makes you uncomfortable.
And we will never allow these events to turn into political rallies.
How Can You Get Involved?
There are three ways you can be a part of the Outdoor Truths Circle Events:
-
Attend. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a returning participant, these events are an opportunity for encouragement and growth—not just for you, but for the men around you.
-
Sponsor Someone. Bring a friend who might benefit from the experience. Covering their cost is a meaningful way to introduce them to both the outdoors and a faith-filled community.
-
Become a Corporate Sponsor. Businesses or individuals can commit to sponsoring a set dollar amount each year to help first-time attendees participate at no cost.
