My name is Matt Harris, I have been to many christian trips and retreats over the years and this camp has blown my mind. I was taken back by how many time I said, I got my crap together and I'm good. Well, I was wrong and the Father worked on me time and time again. I dont know if I am a glutton for punishment, But I do know that if you want to see the Father in his fullness this is the place to be. Cant wait for the next one. Strength and Honor

I have been encouraged to go to ManAlive for years. This year, God made it possible for me to come. I didn't know what to expect for my first ManAlive. I had an idea, but I really had no clue what it was really about until I experienced it myself. What happens and what you get out it is between you and God. I had wounds that I thought were healed, but they were just buried deep down. I felt spiritually exhausted. Kind of like when you exercise, your body gets tired, but when you recover, you are stronger for it! Strength and Honor!

I went to support my friends and left with my heart full. What a great experience.

This is worth everything you can do to make it. Don't over think things...get to one of these events. This is an amazing group of men and you owe it to yourself to join them. grab you small group/mens group/ bible study- whomever....carpool and make it to an event. Your family will thank you.

I have attended multiple different events with these guys (and WAH) over the last 20 years. The Lord shows up big time among these men. They put on an awesome event. They are genuine and strong men in the kingdom and put on a first class event. If you are looking for an event to attend in Texas Wisconsin or Arkansa, I can highly recommend ARBOB.

My Father was on the founding group of men behind Man Alive Expedition, so I grew up seeing the behind the scenes of this camp but never knowing “What all the fuss” was about. But once I turned 18, and finally experienced my first camp, I was hooked. This group of men coming together in pursuit of the heart of men has been the best thing to ever happen to me and my family.

This group of men have done an amazing job of taking the wild at heart mission and drive it straight into men's hearts. Cant wait for the next one! If your in Texas in the fall or Arkansas in the spring its a cant miss experience.

What is ManAlive… For me it has been many things over the years. It’s been a life raft when I was lost in a sea of depression. It’s been a set of crutches when my legs were taken out from me. It’s been that warm campfire and comfort in times of loss. It’s been that rescue when my marriage was on the rocky road. It’s the joy of new friendships, new adventures and a renewed fullness from the Father. But most of all it has been unwavering Brotherhood, men who will fight shoulder to shoulder with you in whatever battle you are in. Think back to Lord of the Rings, in the battles that took place, when the elves, dwarfs, and man were all side by side watching the sea of orcs flooding over the valley.. Yeah it’s that kind of brotherhood! Every man has a battle, every man has been shackled by sin and shame, every man has had his heart ripped out and broken. It’s who we allow to put those broken pieces back together and in what order that matters. We don’t fix broken hearts, no we help set up a meeting between you and the Father so that He can take those pieces and reassemble them the way He intended. Then and only then can you be set free from the past and baggage that comes with it. ManAlive has also shown me that “I am a BELOVED SON”! Not just a man who said “yes” in a church service, No I am much, much more than that, I am a man who’s Heavenly Father loves him more than anything. Come and see how the Father will set your heart free, and allow you to have life in freedom! Jeremy Ramsey (Healer/Plow) ManAlive Expedition Operations Manager

I went to ManAlive at a time in my life when I was floundering spiritually... Bad marriage, porn addict, bad husband and the list goes on... I never knew that these things i believed deep in my soul about myself were simply lies fed to me from The Enemy... Agreements I was told... Well on that mountain in Arkansas i broke those agreements, gave my life to Christ and can honestly say that the retreat fundamentally changed who I was as a person, a husband and a father.. I would encourage every man to attend this because the things revealed to you there by the Holy Spirit will change your life in ways you cannot imagine.. Special thanks to all the Arkansas boys who prayed for me and have had my back from Day 1

Like tending to a garden, MAE continues to uproot deep spiritual weeds in my life allowing me to further connect with my Father in heaven and thus lead those I love into deeper relationship with Him!

It's hard to explain just how much this camp has meant to me. When I first heard about it from one of the guys who started the man alive camp in Texas I told him I wasn't going to another B.S. mens retreat and get nothing out of it. Just being Honest. I have since made every camp I possibly can and now serve with an amazing group of men on the leadership team. I pray that whoever reads this sees the father's heart and the spirits call for your life. This Expedition has made me the man I wanted to be and continues to challenge and grow me in the spirt every time. Strength and Honor

I’m amazed at how the Holy Spirit works to rescue men’s hearts when the brave choose to give God their “yes”. For over a decade, Jesus has rescued my heart by coming alongside men in the arena. I’ve been in the trenches with Wild at Heart serving at multiple events and on the day to day team of a brother organization called Zoweh, led by Michael Thompson, author of The Heart of a Warrior: Before You Can Become the Warrior; You Must Become the Beloved Son. On this journey, I’ve also been blessed to walk with the brotherhood of ManAlive Expedition. Again, what amazes me is how the Holy Spirit works to rescue men from many walks of life who give Jesus their yes. I have received for myself and witnessed immense healing for the brokenhearted. I’ve seen men who’ve been prisoner since childhood set free. I’ve witnessed the equality of love and breakthrough God has for His beloved sons within each of these fellowships. All of these men are in the arena of getting their hearts back, and partnering with Jesus to help other men and women get their hearts back...to live wholehearted and free, as God has created us all to be. What I love most across these organizations is that love and rescue isn’t about an organization, it’s about Jesus. I love how Jesus shows up for His beloved within ManAlive Expedition just as He does for Wild at Heart and Zoweh! Step into the arena of Kingdom men fighting for the hearts of others, by getting your heart back first. Give Jesus your, “Yes,” and come to a ManAlive Expedition. Allow your heart to be set free and live your life with more love and freedom. Joseph Mize Founder, Revealed Image Ministries Marriage Missionary, The Rendezvous Project by Zoweh

ManALive Expedition changed the way I live life. My hearts desire was to be a better father, husband and person. Only to time after time face defeat, and self imposed judgement that this is as good as it gets. The in person events ManALive Expedition provides rocked my world. I was able to learn to listen for God voice. The shackles the enemy had on so many parts of my life were broken. My hypertension went away, which was wild because I had been on two different medications for years. During my annual physical, my doctor told to stop taking the medication because I did not need it anymore. After attending basic, I went to advanced. Again an in person event. I learn for the first about the four streams prayer. Scared me, because I heard Gods voice speak ever so gently, it is time to deal with some very shameful parts of my life. Wounds that had originated from my childhood. Things that I had never told anyone. Three leaders prayed with me and for me for nearly two hours, needless to say I had a lot of junk to offload. These men and many more alumni of ManALive Expedition continue to pray for each other daily. I can share my life’s journey with out judgement nor condemnation. If you can come to a ManALive Expedition event., then come. I can tell you from personal experience, it will change not only your life; but also how you live life.

Having been fortunate to attend The initial Wild at Heart Bootcamp 20 something years ago, God began expanding my view of how LARGE the Gospel is. Inspired by having been “awakened”, I began inviting men to join me into a journey of daily learning what is to walk with God. Most of us live at a pace that prevents us from dealing with the issues that will lead us to Life. The ManAlive Expedition experience is an amazing tool God has provided to get away from the hurried pace of this world and to be awakened. For men of any age to discover or deepen their walk with our Father. You may be thinking right now “I don’t need this” or “how is it possible to have a deeper walk”. Right? I encourage any and every man to attend and bring a few buddies along. Trust me, you will want men you know to attend too. So you might as well bring them with you. A four day expedition to discover your true self. Don’t walk alone.

I got involved with ManAlive through my father. He read Wild at Heart when I was around twelve and was immediately awakened to his heart. He later discovered ManAlive did boot camps in Arkansas. I went to my first ManAlive when I was 20. It was a phenomenal experience! I heard the voice of my Father for the first time, and received my new name. A couple years later I attended the Texas event right the weekend before I got married. Again, God came through in a BIG way. BY FAR the best way to start off a marriage! 10/10 would definitely recommend one of these events!!

ManAlive has meant something seriously profound to me. For most of my life I lived with an orphaned spirit because my earthly father was too broken to do the fathering that I needed. I discovered that as a pre-teen I made an agreement deep within my heart that I didn’t even need a dad anyway; I could just figure my life out on my own. Yet I have always longed for a close relationship with a dad. It was at a ManAlive event that the Holy Spirit revealed that agreement that was made out of a place of pain & brought me immense healing. Now I feel like I have my Dad back & I picked up a whole slew of brothers as a bonus!

ManAlive Expedition has literally been a life changer for me. I thought I had friends before MAE. I was wrong, I had acquaintances, co-workers, etc.. Now I have brothers, men who will stand not behind me but with me in any fight in my life. Men who will willingly step into the muck and mire that I have crawled off into and pull me out. Knowing that they too may get dirty. The Brotherhood you gain from MAE is priceless. I've seen man after man set free from the chains of the enemy, life long weight dropped and left at the feet of Jesus! Have you ever heard the sound of chains falling to the ground? Come to an event and listen, but you won't hear the chains of the men around you. No you will hear YOUR chains!

Man Alive changed my life. I met Gerrit one of the leaders at a community campfire. I can tell from the first night this guy and the ministry he is involved in carried out the principles and the lessons of Wild at heart. It has been a journey personally but if it wasn't for God bringing Man Alive in my life I wouldn't experienced the growth and freedom in Christ like I have.

Went to Advanced last fall in Texas, time with God was so great. Just what I needed. Loved the hearts of the men there.

This camp is legit. It's the Wild at Heart bootcamp experience, but with the stories and brothers of the multi-state band of brothers from Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri and Wisconsin!

I attended the first Arkansas ManAlive Expedition about 10 years ago, and it changed my life. Without going into great detail, I had my first Fathering moment with God. I was about 2-3 years into my sobriety when I attended, and God took me to a place of pain and bitterness that had ravaged my heart and had led me into darkness at the bottom of a bottle. While at the Expedition, Father God pointed out all the good things that came from an event that drove my addiction. It was AMAZING how He turned a dark time into a blessing. I have attended all but a few Expeditions since, and God continues to Father me, especially in my role on the leadership team. He takes me deeper into His embrace with each Expedition I attend and session I speak. It is truly amazing what transpires at these events. I encourage every man to attend. You won’t regret it!

ManAlive Expedition changed the way I live life. The in person instruction and brotherhood that is built during the camp will change your life too. The follow-on virtual Sunday Morning Coffees every week and the Father-Son camps for alumni of Wild-at Heart all build on the principles of standing together, iron sharping iron. Help one another become the men God intended us to be.

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. ✊

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.
