Stehlin leads our discussion as the guys recap our first annual retreat! The guys accomplished their “Misogi Challenge” by completing a rim-to-river-rim hike at the Grand Canyon, spanning 20+ miles and 5,000+ feet of elevation gain.

• Why did we decide to go on a retreat like this? (1:11 - 3:02)
• What are some of the events that stuck out to you the most on the trip? (3:03 - 5:42)
• What did you think of the hike? How did the duration of the hike compare to your expectations? (5:43 - 13:48)
• How does this hike rank on the list of hardest things you’ve ever done? (13:49 - 19:10)
• What connections did you observe between the hike/retreat and the books we’ve read together? (19:11 - 22:50)
• Did being uncomfortable add another layer to the brotherhood component? (22:51 - 24:39)
• Would you encourage other guys to do something similar? If so, why? (24:40 - 25:24)
