This is the 'big one'! For those who've heard 'you should really come to the summer retreat', this is it. After 2 years in Tennessee, we feel it's only fair to head back a little farther west to benefit the folks that usually drive farther. That means us East coast folks will need to save...

Well, I am now leaning toward encouraging people to hold out for the big summer retreat, as some interested have changed there minds. I think we'd be too small to make it worthwhile to travel for new folks. Writ us at retreats@biblicalfamilies.org and we'll keep you informed about the summer...

Agree with Julie, I thought we had a very good group, and interesting discussions, and lots of fellowship time (I gave a lot of boat rides, and some tube rides as well). Even with some cancellations we had 28 adults and about a dozen kids, which was nearly full for our 'bonus room'. Looking at...

Just a quick reminder for those who may be close enough to still make it to Florida, or sick of your own weather: there's still room for a few more at our retreat near Orlando this weekend. Write @julieb now if you are interesting in trying to make it. Should be sunny and 70F this weekend...

I do love the Pacific Northwest, and may be trying to spend the summers out there if my daughter is there. Funny though, I always picture God at sea-level. I lived at 6100ft in the high cold desert of southern Utah for 2.5 years, it was pretty up in the surrounding 11,000ft mountains with...

On the original topic, I just discovered that his fiancee wrote about this trip too: https://thesocialporcupine.substack.com/p/stir-the-pure-mind?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2 She also writes about things like modesty...

Another bump, a reminder that we are praying and fasting again on Friday for wider understanding and acceptance of Biblical marriage, including plural marriage.

A Sapling, Plain and Vigorous - by A.M. Hickman (substack.com) Not marriage related, but a group of people (my anabaptist cousins) moving to form community, where the land is cheap, always draws my interest. Too bad it's too cold for me up there. Tennessee still on my mind...

A Comparison of Sexual Function, Psychological Status, and Sociodemographic Characteristics of Turkish Men within Polygamous and Monogamous Marriages - PMC (nih.gov) Thanks to @JonB for finding this. Interesting in being a science study only, no judgement. I hope they do the suggested...

What a great time was had, with many new people, and a number that we hadn't seen in years. So many Arizona families! Very different stories, and a highlight (again) was getting to pray for folks on Saturday night. Even without the 'common ingredient' of PM, I'd have been happy to travel to...

Can't get everywhere, all at once, but PNW is on the radar again. Perhaps as soon as early fall. After summer retreat for sure. Next year at latest.

We are gathering here in Phoenix, starting in just a few hours, looking forward to God meeting us! - if you aren't coming, please be in prayer for those who are here, that His purpose will be shown for everyone in attendance, and everyone will benefit. Thanks!, and hope to see else everyone...

Just a bump as a reminder to guys that this on tonight! https://talk.brave.com/nI5P5cfzkbwKIZ4bXJBGl-hfTOZRxGy7butuFryhUW0

Thanks, the big summer retreat is likely August again.

With all the winter retreats, you may be thinking, 'does this BF retreat guy have a job'? Well, no, he doesn't right now - that may change, so trying to take advantage of it now. So I'd like to hear from you if you'd consider coming to an April 12th hotel retreat, and are from the above...

Well, this is just a Friday night drive for you! Drive home Sunday night. No excuse! Hey, as a resident, I can get a nice camp site 3 miles away (park on a lake) for like $13/night. I should reserve 2 of those, let people share them. Usually 2 tents allowed.

We now have a location for this get-together - it'll be near Mount Dora, which is northwest of Orlando. We will be meeting at our house (the Benders), we have room for a big crowd during the day (may need to rent some chairs), but unfortunately you can't all stay overnight with us! So that...

This is a reminder that Phoenix retreat is just 2 weeks away, and our hotel discount deadline is this Monday (8th). If you are still interested, book now, or write @julieb if you still need the info. Looks like a good crowd!

It's Phoenix, there's RV parks everywhere - I don't see one within a mile, but there's numerous choices within 5 miles. Do you have the retreat info, David? If not PM me or @julieb .
