Perhaps, like me, you’ve attended every kind of retreat for men known to man. PK events and the like are great, but 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 programs 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 guy. 4 CHALLENGES:

Pastor Kevin Trick I appreciated very much Todd's intentionality in developing a connection with the men. He was open and available to speak with the men, and worked hard at developing a rapport with them. His passion and desire to walk obediently under Christ was very evident.
Pastor Darrin Early Hey Todd, I just wanted to express my thanks once again for being a powerful instrument of God. Your ministry truly impacted our men. I have new friendships with some of them that I never had before and I know that these are going to last and grow. One new friendship in particular I never saw coming and now I can already see how God ordained this because He new we needed each other. You have dramatically helped our church in showing these young men and many of the older that they have great potential through God. I came with great expectations and these were blown away. I am still on the mountain top after last weekend but this one is different. This time I think I can keep some of the mountain with me. I have never taken notes that I thought I would actually look back at when going to this sort of event until this weekend. It's just so full of practical wake-up calls that for me help that light bulb go off and I think, "Oh Yea, that's right, I want be that way, I want to do that, and I will!" I have my own personal battles that have tried to keep me from God and for the first time I truly believe I have conquered, something's different, I'm never going back. Thank you for being obedient to God Todd. He has turned your ministry into a powerhouse and it's just the beginning. May God bless you and keep you, Darrin P.S. Now that I have been a part of this retreat I feel like I can pray more effectively for the future retreats, that they will have the experience we had and more. ***************************************************************************************
Mr. Donny Prater Recommendation Letter "Todd is a dynamic and eloquent speaker with a heart for those he ministers to. I have attended many PK events and he is as good if not better than anyone I have ever heard. His "Fight Like a Man" conference provided the spark that our Church needed to jump start our men's ministry. Since his conference, I have witnessed men come alive in Christ to become the men God intended them to be. I would not hesitate to recommend Todd to anyone." ************************************************************************************** Mr. Roger Lindsey "My wife and I echo your words and feelings of having you in our home and truly an awesome time of fellowship with you and the men and worship on Sunday morning. It’s hard to come up with the right words to express my thoughts ,and I think all the men’s feelings, of how good the retreat was for each one of us. It makes us hungry for more, but at the same time we want to implement what we have learned to have a better alignment with God, and thus, having a better influence on our families and everyone we come in contact with for His glory and honor. Life is all the richer having met you and I’m looking forward to more fellowship in the future. Thanks again for your investment in fellow believers here in Cabool and our men’s ministry. I believe seeds have been planted that will reap unknown good." ************************************************************************************** Mr. Hal Jeter Response Letter (pdf) ************************************************************************************** Mr. Randy Carpenter

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.
