FAQ
01
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 that God designs us for connection and that fostering a healthy connection between fathers and sons brings honor to God. We believe that 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 Watchtower 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 the man is committed to staying engaged in the young man's life. Tethered is geared for young men from the ages of 11 to 17.
