I attended my first Man Alive back in 2012 and absolutely loved it. It completely resonated with my soul. I have been almost every year since and now even being on the leadership team I am still going because God moves in MY life big time every single camp! My life has been changed in numerous ways.....just ask my wife and closest friends. I cannot recommend it enough. I have sponsored many friends over the years even offering money back guarantees if they weren’t fully satisfied. To this day I haven’t been asked for even a penny back!

An Amazing weekend that helped shape me into the man I am today. A better husband, father, friend.

This is a very special fellowship of brothers unlike anything I have seen in all of my travels and retreats and journeying as a Christian. Come join us, would you?

I went to ManAlive in October 2019 and I was in a real spiritual funk. A friend of mine told me I had to go to Texas and Check out ManAlive. I’ve been to men’s conferences or Christian retreats and came out refreshed and feeling stronger in my faith. ManAlive Expedition was different. I met men who are walking in faith together. Who share everything with each other. Like most men I am a lone wolf and am always trying to walk life out on my own. When I say on my own I mean I don’t even talk to God. At ManAlive I not only learned to bring everything to God but that having men around me that I can live out my faith with men who will call me out when I’m not doing what I’m supposed to is vital. ManAlive is truly a life altering experience and I believe they all men will benefit greatly by attending one of their boot camps

In the Spring of 1999, I was worn out. In nearly every way. I was commuting to a job 3 hours away 3 days a week for over a year. The same year we self-contracted and built our house. But more than the physical exhaustion was the lack of true life. I had a wonderful wife and 3 great kids. But it was like being stuck on a treadmill that never went anywhere…or at least nowhere meaningful. I was perpetually detached. My wife would call me out on it tearfully about once every 3-4 months. (You know THE TALK.) I was giving all I thought I had to give and it still wasn’t enough. I thought I was being good and responsible…more than most. But I was routinely aware that I was falling short of the mark. It was in that place I was shamed into attending a Boot Camp on which ManAlive EXPEDITION is patterned. I didn’t know what to expect. The guy who invited (shamed) me wouldn’t tell. I was a little afraid… like you are when you go to the used car dealership and are likely to get hosed. Over that weekend, my heart came alive for the first time in ages. The sessions opened my eyes to the bigger story I’m living in. Or pulled back the curtain so I could see what was going on behind the scenes in my life. Some things made sense for the first time. And not only that, I was equipped to take a new direction in my walk with the Father. I came to the camp in the dark and left with enough light I to see by. Six years later, me, my wife and kids live in this new reality now and we are SO much better off for it. We realize are no longer incidental pawns in the chess game of life. We are receiving healing in our hearts and psyches for places that have been wounded and which shaped our reaction to the world. We are being equipped to live a real life. One full of power and adventure and fullness. I’m glad I succumbed to the pressure. Best exchange I’ve ever made in my life. It’s why I joined the MAE Team when it started up. I want others to live this new life too. It’s REAL life. It can be had! Living in adventure close to our father is what we were meant for.

I've been to MAE since November of 2014 I believe. Haven't missed one yet. What can I say? I didn't want to go at all. I made excuse after excuse. Someone eventually paid for my ticket which just pissed me off. I showed up late, the first session fell flat with me. I just wanted to leave. The next day something began to change. I saw a tone with these men and their very real, raw, vulnerable stories that demonstrated things I had been walking through for years at that point. I was sure God was apathetic, at best, towards me in a lot of ways. I was putting up a great front and a pretty good fight but deep down I knew I was faking that. These men reintroduced me to a God who was passionate not just for his creation but for me personally. It was a very personal experience. I can say if it were not for this event and a friend willing to piss me off, and risk losing our relationship, I would not be healthy today spiritually. I would not have a connection with God because I would still be doing it alone and failing. The event is very real, very powerful and very fun. We laugh, cut up, blow up various objects from time to time and we connect with God in a way I was sure was impossible. This is an event you cannot miss if you want to connect with God in a powerful way. He will meet you there.

There is a statement that I first heard at this event - you will not give up the fake until you experience something real. The thing that I love about ManAlive Expedition is how authentic their desire is to walk through this life as men who love Jesus - and that are real people. If you are tired of the religious bs, this is the event for you to find something real.

Man alive is run by a group of amazing men/brothers that are walking out the mission of recapturing the masculine Heart. It is amazing to see what God is calling Men out into. The journey has been transforming for myself and my family. I am Now walking out a legacy worthy of stamping my name to. It is an honor to be a part of what God is doing in this message and men. Thank you Wild at Heart

Wild at Heart and ManAlive Expedition have transformed my life in many ways. I have learned to see God as my father and how God my father loves and cares for me as His son. The relationship that God wants with His children are far beyond anything I had ever imagined, the love and desire for a relationship with me are so hard to comprehend. This spiritual transformation has led me to be bold in living out the desires He has for me. I am no longer satisfied just getting by as a husband, father, friend, employee, I want to pursue all things in my life the way that God has pursued me! This isn’t a self-help program, it a life-transforming realization of God’s love for us!

About 7yrs ago I moved to a new church and reunited with some old friends that were leaders of MAE. They introduced me to the book Wild at Heart and that MAE was a boot camp for the book. I had a “salty attitude” and a hard head about change bc I didn’t feel I needed to change my life. Well that was actually the enemy talking bc my first MAE kicked the enemy to the “fire” and changed the life long voyage I’m now on! It takes breaking you and remaking you into a “Christ like warrior” and that’s what MAE has done for me and continues to do for the past 6ys and for the rest of my life! Thank you John Elderidge for writing such an amazing book with a boot camp attached to it that changed our MAE leaders lives which in turn changed mine!

Amazing Experience that changed my life for ever. It was so refreshing to be around a group of Godly men walking with God. Christian men I think get a bad wrap for being soft and walking around speaking "christianese." It was refreshing to get a glimpse of what a Godly man looks like. This event gave me a chance to form a Band of Brothers and my life has never been the same. We can't do life alone and we need brothers around us. It gave me a chance to finally be open and honest and transparent with some guys I really trusted; and that freed me up from some deep addiction issues I had been struggling with for along time. I promise this will be something that will change your life. Don't miss out and don't make excuses. This is what you have been missing and have been craving but never new how to get it. Now's the time. Sign up.

I can’t tell you how much the message of Wild@Heart has changed and transformed my life. The Father introduced me to real men, who shared their stories and lives without reservation/posing. Relationships with real and true brotherhood formed and developed. In doing so God opened a door for me to share everything He has and continues to do in my heart and the hearts of my brothers. As part of the ManAlive Expedition I have been walking with God and also sharing with and leading men in this message for 10 years. This Expedition, much like that of any of the boot camps on this allies page, give men a chance to step away from; the “business” of life, disengagement from his heart, wife, kids and the opportunity to really have a chance to see himself as The Father sees him. Truth be told The Father has so much more for you and this weekend gives you the chance, time and place to receive. We invite you to come be a part of our brotherhood in Arkansas and take an Expedition into your heart with ManAlive.

I've been to 5 ManAlive boot camps and I have been part of the leadership for the last three. The time I spent on the mountain absorbing the message that is given has totally changed my life as a man. I found a group of misfits that love Jesus and share the message of wild at heart to all. It is something that I think ever man should experience.

Been to 2 boot camps with these guys, 4 in total, fantastic and really high quality. The whole team is exemplary. Thanks guys for making it all happen. God bless you and keep you. ✊

Thanks guys for putting on such a fantasic event. It was life changeing.

God has given me and my band of brothers the honor of walking out the message of Wild & Heart (that he gave to John) with a group of amazing men/brothers. ARBOB started with 8 men going to a W&H boot camp together. So we walked away from our first camp knowing that we had to share this message with every man that we could. With good council and support we launched in to our own adventure of putting on the Man Alive Expedition. Hence the Arkansas Band of Brothers was born. We will embark on our 4th boot camp this fall. Helping men with recovering their hearts, knowing there is a battle, identifying wounds/agreements, finding healing, how to live in freedom and truly how understanding what a walk with The Father can/will be like. Once they can see themselves as God sees them and who God has called them to be. Strength and Honor. It is an honor to be a part of what God is doing in this message and men. Thank you Wild at Heart! 1 Peter 2:17 ‘Honor Everyone. Love the Brotherhood.Fear God‘

Went to this in 2013 and it was awesome. These men do an incredible job. Great location, great food, and just a very healing and restoring weekend.
