Our Story

Life often feels restless, busy, and hollow. Many sense there must be more—more connection, more purpose, more depth. Ruck the Way was born out of that same longing. Founders Gabe Smith and Chris Furr discovered that walking side by side, carrying weight together, opens sacred space for real conversation, authentic community, and spiritual renewal.

What began as a simple practice—walking with others—has grown into a movement of pilgrimage: physical journeys with spiritual purpose. Along the way, people rediscover who they are, why they matter, and how to walk whole in the Way of Jesus.

Our Mission

We create experiences of conversation and connection that invite people into wholeness through the Way of Jesus.

We Believe

Pilgrimage: Life is a journey, not a destination. Every step can hold spiritual purpose.

Community: Wholeness comes through walking together. We were never meant to journey alone.

Sacred: God reveals Himself in ordinary moments when we slow down, listen, and make space.
