BUEAN VISTA, Colo., May 22, 2025 /Standard Newswire/ — In a time when men are increasingly isolated, distracted, and struggling to live with purpose, one national coaching group is offering a radically different kind of solution: 40-pound packs, 10+ mile hikes per day, and a deep dive into the soul.
From July 7–11, The Freedom Group will lead a hand-selected group of men into the high country of Colorado for its annual Outbound Trip — a rugged, wilderness-based experience designed to help men break free from unwanted sexual behaviors, reclaim their God-given identity, be awed by the wonders of God’s creation, and forge unshakable brotherhood.
“This isn't just a hike,” says Chris Ederer of The Freedom Group. “It’s a crucible. These men are confronting the inner battles that have kept them stuck for years. We go into the wilderness to gain focus on challenge, truth, and transformation.”
Participants, men from across the country, will traverse steep and rocky trails carrying the gear necessary for safely surviving high elevations, potentially reaching up to 14,000 feet. The physical intensity is matched by spiritual depth: daily guided reflections, brutally honest group conversations, and moments of silence where men face their shadows and experience God in new ways.
The Outbound Trip is an additional offering of The Freedom Group’s year-round coaching process, the Craving Free Training System, which helps men eliminate the craving for pornography by addressing the root emotional and neurological patterns that drive addiction — all within a faith-based community that emphasizes truth, accountability, and grace.
“Most guys think they have to ‘white-knuckle’ their way to freedom,” says Joe Masek, co-founder of The Freedom Group. “We show them a better way: freedom through integration - in body, mind and spirit.”
Media access is available, limited to pre-trip interviews with leaders.
