Battleworn Legacy

Only forty men will be chosen. We are not looking for perfect men - we are looking for men willing to step forward, be sharpened, and become who God created them to be.

Five days in the Montana mountains that will demand everything and a founding brotherhood that will never open its doors this way again.

FILM

Watch this before you apply. Then decide if you're ready to be tested.

Sixty seconds from the men who built it and what five days in the mountains will demand of you.

01 / THE CALL

This was never built for every man.

Battleworn Legacy was built for men who know there is more in them men ready to confront what’s been holding them back and step into a higher level of faith, discipline, accountability, leadership, and brotherhood. It will ask more of you than you are comfortable giving.

02 / THE PATH

Four cornerstones. You will be measured against all four.

Every man is building a foundation, whether he means to or not. Battleworn is built on four cornerstones the PATH every man is called to walk.

P

Purpose

Confront why you were made and Who you were made for. The cornerstone every other one is set on.

A

Authority

Step into the role you were given. Lead your home and your world instead of drifting through them.

T

Tenacity

Forge the discipline to keep standing when it's hard in body, mind, and faith. Worn, but not broken.

H

Honor

Live by your word and steward what you've been given your name, your resources, and your provision for those who depend on you.

Over five days, each cornerstone shows you where you’re strong, where you’ve drifted, and where God may be calling you to rebuild with purpose.

03 / THE EXPERIENCE

Five days that look like nothing else you've done.

Training. Faith. Fire. The land. Brotherhood forged in real challenge not a hotel ballroom.

04 / THE MEN WHO LEAD

You don't get to choose them. They choose you.

You won’t be led by motivational speakers. You’ll be led by men forged in the most demanding arenas there are and they decide who’s ready to stand beside them.

Trent Mcmurtrey

OWNER/FOUNDER· BATTLEWORN LEGACY

Trent McMurtrey serves as Owner and Founder of Battleworn Legacy and Battleworn Foundation with a clear understanding: this mission cannot be carried alone. He knows he needs strong, God-fearing men around him men willing to lock arms, speak truth, and stand firm with him. Scripture is clear that the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and Trent believes that kind of opposition requires more than vision. It requires covering, accountability, wisdom, and men who are not afraid to confront what is false, weak, or out of alignment.

The Board of Advisors exists as a safeguard for the mission and for Trent himself. Each member has been asked to hold him accountable in his actions, motives, priorities, purpose, and walk with Christ. Their role is not to simply agree with him, but to sharpen him, challenge him, and help protect Battleworn Legacy and Battlworn Foundation from pride, isolation, compromise, or drift. Trent’s desire is not to build something centered on himself, but to steward a mission strong enough to serve men, strengthen families, and honor God for generations to come.

05 / THE SELECTION

Applying is the easy part. Being chosen is not.

Battleworn is not first come, first served, and it is not for sale to anyone with a credit card. Seats go to the right men. Here’s how a founding member is selected.

1

Apply

Submit your application. It takes a few honest minutes and it costs nothing to be considered.

2

Review

Every application is read personally by the team. Not all advance. We are looking for specific men.

3

Conversation

The men who move forward are invited to speak with us directly to see if this is truly your call.

4

Invitation

The chosen are offered a founding seat and the chance to invest. Decline, and the seat goes to the next man.

There are 40 seats across the first two cohorts. They are filling now, and they will not be reopened. Apply today every day you wait is a seat another man may take.

06 / DO YOU BELONG HERE

Be honest with yourself before you apply.

We would rather you opt out now than take a seat from a man who’s ready. Read both columns.

Apply if you are

Do not apply if you

07 / FOUNDING MEMBERSHIP

This is not attendance. It is founding membership.

The 40 men accepted become the original foundation of the Battleworn brotherhood the men who shape its culture, standard, and legacy for years to come. And it doesn’t end when the five days do.

01

Annual Trips

Continued experiences that keep the brotherhood sharpened year after year.

02

Personalized Accountability

Real men holding you to the standard you committed to not a group chat.

03

Leadership Development

Ongoing growth in how you lead at home, at work, and in your community.

04

Brotherhood Calls

Regular connection with men committed to walking this out together.

05

Faith Based Growth

A faith that keeps deepening long after you fly home from Bozeman.

06

Lifelong Connection

A brotherhood that refuses to let you drift back into average.

08 / THE INVESTMENT

Accepted Members Invest

$8,500

Covers everything across the five days.

The only thing you arrange is travel to Bozeman, MT (airport: BZN). [Confirm gear, if any, to bring.]

Don't think of it as a price. Think of it as a line.

It’s the line between the man you are and the man you were made to be. On the other side of it is a brotherhood most men never find and the cost of staying on this side of it is far higher than $8,500.

The faith, the discipline, the leadership you forge here don’t fade when you go home. They keep working for the rest of your life, in your marriage, in your children, and in every man who will one day follow your lead.

09 / THE VOICES

The first 40 will be the first to tell the story.

As founding members come through, their words go here. Until then this is your chance to be one of the voices that defines what Battleworn becomes.

Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.
