Summer can be a hard time in the spiritual life, when we get out of our normal rhythm and go on vacation. After finishing two strong liturgical seasons in Lent and Easter, we may also experience a let down by entering into “ordinary” time. We can help men to experience this time of leisure with greater intentionality, relaxing in a healthy and holy way, keeping some consistency with prayer, and continuing to grow in virtue.

Two years ago we focused on overcoming sloth and pride in our first Kings of Summer challenge and the topic resonated with men and seemed to fit the season. Summer can be a time of sloth, when we let our guard down and can fall into sin like David standing on his room top letting his eyes roam. David had to deal with the violent effects of sin through disorder in his family, but he did repent and turned back faithfully to the Lord.

Like the kings of the Old Testament and throughout Church history, we can exercise vigilance, fight the necessary battles against vice, and lead others. Kingship may seem foreign in many ways today but kings model handling the responsibilities of life either in faithfulness to the Lord or badly by giving into one’s selfish impulses. These are men of the world, who are fathers, who fight battles, and strive to follow the Lord in the midst of the world and its burdens.

Our predominant themes for summer, therefore, are: 1) entering into holy and healthy leisure rather than falling into sloth, and 2) growing in virtue in imitation of holy kings.

The team at Exodus 90 has purposefully crafted spiritual exercises that coincide with the liturgical calendar and help men live uncommon freedom throughout the year. Learn more about the Seasonal Exercises.

A man should make an Exodus because the Lord is calling him to uncommon freedom.

Yes. All our programs are spiritual exercises for men based on prayer, asceticism, and fraternity and rooted in the traditions of the early Church. All men are welcome. More and more Protestant, Evangelical, and other non-Catholic, Christian participants continue to find the spiritual exercise to be very fruitful for their freedom and relationship with Christ every year.

Exodus 90 is not an addiction or recovery program. It is a lifestyle that orients us toward the uncommon freedom that the Lord gives us when we become who we truly are. It's an opportunity to conform one's whole life to that of Christ and become the renewal in the Church. This will inevitably bring forth abundant graces and greater freedom.

The Lord can do anything: he has used Exodus 90 to bring forth the grace of complete freedom to men who have been struggling with addictions for decades. Exodus 90 helps dispose us to accept the grace and freedom God wants to give us.

We highly recommend that those struggling with an addiction get the help they need from a licensed therapist. Check out CatholicTherapists.com.
