Perhaps, like me, you’ve attended every kind of retreat for men known to mankind. Many of these events are great for the purpose they serve. However, they often sent our guys home excited, but lacking in a plan on just how to initiate the change they sensed needed to take place. This retreat is a life-changing experience, not a program. In my belief, it prepares men to pursue the ministry opportunities a church may have in place. It turns programs in a church into answers to questions guys start asking such as “How do I continue to FIGHT in my walk as a man?” “Where can I stay connected to opportunities that give me a vision from God for my life?” So, imagine a retreat that is foundational, practical, and leans more toward a workshop on becoming a man of God rather than just talking about it. I often left other retreats feeling worse about the guy I was than excited about the guy I could become. Four challenges lead men in one simple direction – how can I become more the guy that God would bless? It challenges guys to “align” their life in Christ with the understanding that without the power and blessings of the Holy Spirit, my Christian life is destined to fail. These four challenges seemed to be the basis for all other issues in the life of a man. We understand today that a major key to success in families and in the church is a man "fully alive" in Christ. This foundational piece of a healthy church and family can not be ignored or left to its own. As a church, we must be devoted to building, encouraging and developing Godly men. That definition of a man "fully alive" has been blurred in so many ways through poor mentors, poor models, and characters representing less than a Godly man in the entertainment world. What does a man "fully alive" look like? The charge for this retreat is challenging men to align their life with the purpose and power of God. Men are challenged to align their activity, their attitude, and their energy with the priorities and passion of Christ. Men are challenged to pursue these ideals and models today, to model themselves after the Heavenly Father, and to "fight like a man" for the blessing of Christ on a family, on a career, on a marriage, on a man.
