An enemy might be able to defeat one person, but two people can stand back-to-back to defend each other. And three people are even stronger. They are like a rope that has three parts wrapped together — it is very hard to break.
Ecclesiastes 4:12

FAQ
WHAT IS TETHERED?
Tethered is a weekend designed to provide fathers and sons (ages 11-17) an opportunity to spend one-on-one time together to bond with each other and the Heavenly Father. We believe God designs us for connection, and fostering a healthy connection between fathers and sons brings honor to God. We believe when two people seek after the Father's heart together, a bond is created that can withstand any adversity and echo blessings to future generations. A tethered bond creates hope, heals old wounds, and changes the future. We would like to invite fathers and sons to a 48-hour weekend at Hi Point Ranch with no distractions or barriers. This opportunity provides intentional time together to pursue the Heavenly Father's heart for you and his will for your relationship, as a reflection of His relationship with you. A biological relationship is not required. We encourage any type of father-son relationship to attend, as long as the man plays a significant role in the young man's life and is committed to staying engaged in the young man's life.
