Activities

Compete. Laugh. Blow stuff up.

Four ways to test your aim and your nerve, running all afternoon. Food and drinks provided. Bring a friend, bring your competitive spirit, and bring a lawn chair.

01

Archery

Test your aim and a steady hand.

02

Plastic Axe Throwing

Nothing builds brotherhood like a good dart game with axes and throwing stars.

03

Cornhole

Drop-in cornhole — play at your own pace.

04

Potato Cannons

Shoot spuds at targets out in the field.

Panel Discussion

Living as a godly man in today's world.

After the activities, we'll gather for a straight-talk panel on what it means to live as a godly man in a culture that has forgotten what manhood is for. No fluff, no clichés. Real questions, biblical answers. We want your questions — submit one when you RSVP. Nothing is off the table.

  • 01 How do I lead my family spiritually when I feel unequipped?
  • 02 What does biblical headship in the home actually look like in practice?
  • 03 How do I fight lust and guard my eyes in a culture built on temptation?
  • 04 How should a Christian man handle failure — at work, at home, or in his walk?
  • 05 What does accountability look like, and how do I find brothers who will tell me the truth?
  • 06 How do I raise sons to be men and daughters to be women of God in this generation?
  • 07 Where's the line between being a provider and making an idol of my career?
  • 08 How do I stand firm on biblical truth at work without being needlessly reckless?
  • 09 What should a man do when his marriage is struggling?
  • 10 How do we rebuild real friendship among men when isolation is the norm?

Need help getting started? These are topics worth asking about — but bring your own.
