Hocking Hills, Ohio · September 4–6, 2026
"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."
Proverbs 27:17Who We Are
Brothers Uncut is a space created for young married men to show up as they actually are. Not the version they bring to work, or to church, or to the dinner table. The real one. The one that loves his wife but doesn't always have the words. The one that carries things in silence, questions things in private, and needs other men to push him further than he'd go alone.
Iron sharpens iron — but only when men are willing to let their guard down long enough for the sharpening to happen. That's what this weekend is for. Twelve brothers. Three days. One conversation that keeps going until it means something.
"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."
Proverbs 27:17
Twelve young married men. Selected, committed, and ready to be real with each other. Not a retreat for the faint-hearted. A weekend for men who are done pretending they have it all figured out.
Depart & Drive
Carpools from Indianapolis. About 3.5 hours to Hocking Hills.
Arrive at the Cabin
Private cabin in Logan, Ohio. Settle in, pick your bed, take a breath.
Dinner Together
First meal of the weekend. Grill out, sit down, eat together.
Opening Prayer
Welcome & Opening Devotion
We open the weekend together in prayer and set the tone for what's ahead.
Fire Pit
No agenda. Just men settling into each other around the fire on the first night.
Optional
Head Into Logan
Local spots for a drink and some music if the energy is there.
Morning Prayer
Morning Devotion
We read Proverbs 27:17 together and pray before the day starts.
Breakfast
Full sit-down meal at the cabin. Eggs, bacon, toast, coffee, hot chocolate.
Session 1 of 2 · 60 min
Who Are You Becoming?
Identity & Purpose
A focused conversation about who we're building into as men, husbands, and fathers. Not who we perform to be — who we're actually becoming. Moderated discussion, everyone in the room, no right answers.
Prayer
Prayer Before the Hike
Group Hike
Everyone goes. Old Man's Cave or Ash Cave, both under 2 miles through Hocking Hills State Park. Some of the best conversations happen on a trail, one on one, walking.
Lunch
Back at the cabin. Simple and quick.
Main Event
Guided UTV Tour
Six Polaris RZR Trail side-by-sides through 75+ miles of Wayne National Forest. Two hours, fully guided. The highlight of Saturday.
Prayer
Grace & Dinner
Best meal of the weekend. Ribeye steaks on the grill. No rushing.
Session 2 of 2 · 45–60 min
What Are You Carrying?
Burdens, Brotherhood & Accountability
An honest conversation about what men carry alone. What happens when we stop carrying it alone. What real brotherhood actually looks like. Happens at the fire, looser than the morning session, built on the trust the day has already earned.
Optional
Logan or Athens
Local bars and live music in Logan, or a 40-minute drive to Athens for a livelier scene.
Rise
Early. Church is waiting back home.
Coffee & Light Breakfast
Quick and easy. Enough to get on the road.
Closing · 15 min
Closing Circle & Prayer
One question around the room. One sentence per man. We read Proverbs 27:17 one final time, pray together, and go.
Head Home
3.5 hours back to Indianapolis. In time for church.
