Families, inlcluding our own, have had a spiritual encounter with God where they have felt called to move to Middle TN so suddenly. This podcast highlights the stories of families stepping out in faith and trusting what God has next for their lives.
Valiant Voyages was born out of a vision Dusty received from God during a Heart Sync Ministry session as he faught for healing— in the vision, he received a call to help hundreds of men just like him, men who may feel like captains without oars, drifting through life.
It’s about coming alongside fathers right where they are and inviting them into a faith-filled journey marked by bravery and courage. It’s about learning to fight for what’s right for your family, saying “no” to the distractions and addictions that pull you away from your heavenly calling.
For Dusty, that meant drawing a line in the sand and walking away from alcohol and pornography. For you, it may look different — but as the leader of your home, your mission is to build a legacy, a foundation for your family rooted in the principles and teachings of Jesus Christ.
Dusty is what my friends call me and my birthname is Dustin which means:
You were created with a calling — but somewhere along the way, it’s easy to forget who you were meant to be.
Life piles on labels, wounds, and limiting beliefs until you barely recognize the man God designed you to become.
Maybe you’ve been through church hurt, maybe your marriage feels fragile, maybe you’re fighting private battles no one sees. You are not alone — and you don’t have to keep carrying it alone.
Valiant Voyages exists to walk with men and families through the storms of life. Whether it’s sunrise prayer, sunset worship with your kids, or a pop-up retreat designed to strengthen your faith and family bonds, you’ll find a place to breathe, reset, and fight for the legacy your family deserves.
Life is better together — and we’re building a community where you can belong, grow, and lead with courage.
On September 25, 2022, a spark was lit — and now it’s an open invitation for other men.
Maybe you’ve been carrying the weight of the world, numbing yourself just to make it through the day. Maybe it’s alcohol, porn, overwork, or just the constant distractions that pull you away from what matters most.
Valiant Voyages creates space for men to step away from the noise and discover the better version of themselves. Through pop-up retreats, we gather for real, raw conversations and learn how to fight together — to become the fathers and leaders our families deserve.
Without the haze of substances, every moment, every conversation, every bond formed is remembered and cherished.
Substances can sometimes mask our true feelings and emotions. By creating a substance-free environment, we promote genuine connections and deeper conversations.
A substance-free environment ensures safety for all attendees and fosters a more inclusive space, especially for those who may not drink for personal, cultural, or health reasons.
This is a time of transition and growth for dads looking to better themselves. It was always "One day when..." for me until I started focusing on my "One day win."
Staying the night with a group of guys you've never met can be intimidating. It is for me as much as it is for you. Each person that stays the night will have their own private bed.
Should I stay the night? With limited availability and a little bias, YES!
The sunrise session, morning workshop, and time in nature connecting further through our
topics will be the heart of these micro retreats.
A catered meal supporting a local business will be provided. I will connect with attendees ahead of time for dietary needs and preferences.
NA beer and mocktails has been one tool that helped me in my sobriety journey. If you find these types of drinks triggering, please let me know. We will have other soft drinks like soda water, tea, and coffee.
We will have plenty of time to dive into topics around fatherhood and workshop together in small breakouts and a large group as a whole.
My goal during our time together is to simply be real and vulnerable with each other. No small talk. Social status doesn't matter at these events. I'm here to learn about your heart.
Before ending our time together, we will immerse ourselves into nature. Most often this will be in the form of a hike but always open to exploring new ways to connect outside.
In a world where thumbs up likes and follower counts truly mean nothing, I aim to foster impactful relationships that last. Not just aquantances, but my prayer for you is that you meet new friends to do life with regularly.
Embark on a journey through the heart of an immersive experience in a short amount of time, where unforgettable moments, personal growth, and meaningful connections await. Some will stay for the evening, some will stay for the full experience. All dads are welcome. Here's a glimpse into a typical time together.
We will be posting up coming events often so keep checking back for ways to connect outside of these events and keep your chin up dad. You are enough. You are a good father. You've got this. This trip is not psychotherapy.
