Experience a peaceful hobby farm just outside Nashville, Tennessee

Imagine time away for you and your spouse. Space to breathe. Time to reconnect with God and one another. The opportunity to be seen and heard - all in a quiet rural setting but just 45 minutes from Nashville. Close enough to enjoy Music City or take in the small towns and rolling green hills that make up Middle Tennessee. A herd of dairy goats and the sunrise are ready to welcome you.

Meet hosts Evan & Debbie McBroom

Every Teamness pastor getaway is hosted by a caring and discerning couple who understand the challenges of church ministry, hold space to listen and care, and are sensitive to the need for couples to have ample time alone.

Evan and Debbie have been married for 38 years, have three adult children, and moved to Middle Tennessee in 2018 from Indianapolis, Indiana.  For most of their marriage, they have served in a variety of ministry roles, from Creative Pastor, Children’s Worship Arts Director, worship leader, Saturday night service team leads, and others. In 2003, Evan launched Fishhook, a church communications and creative services agency that brought him into service with church teams across the United States. In 2022, Evan and Debbie launched Teamness to support and encourage pastors, their spouses, and the teams and churches they lead.

Reviews

“This is an unbelievably unique retreat space for pastors and their spouses. We rested, played with the animals, had great conversations, walked around enjoying the beautiful garden space, and we had a lovely time together. We highly recommend this place of quiet rest to all.”

“"We had SUCH a great time visiting with Evan and Debbie (and the goats!). We really couldn’t thank you guys enough, it was a much needed break from our day-to-day and allowed us some time to reflect not only on God’s goodness and blessings, but our marriage and future aspirations (where God wants us and when) as well."

— Pamela and Dave

“The quietness and the fellowship time with the hosts was our favorite part of the experience. Evan and Debbie were very thoughtful of our need for alone time, but were available when we wanted fellowship time.”
