We've been meeting since 2007 and have multiplied into 2 groups. Several guys have been to RH events, but many in our group haven't. Members of our Band of Brothers come from different church fellowships (or don't attend at all), so we are not affiliated with any particular church. Our groups meet Wednesday and Thursday nights in Prescott Valley, Arizona. (Wed. nite group starts with 6:30 pm potluck dinner at someone's home). A group of guys in their 30s meets on Thursdays at 7:30 pm. The Wednesday night group of guys (age 50+) is finishing Walking with God and may start Boot Camp Live! videos and re-read Wild at Heart late Fall 2016
One of the best things we've done successfully a few times each year is our weekend BOOT CAMP retreats (Fri-Sun). For these retreats, we've viewed the Band of Brothers DVD series along with selected film clips. We held our first Advanced Boot Camp Nov. 2013 and have another one coming in 2017 for those who've attended a basic Boot Camp in any format. Our weekend retreats (attended by anywhere from 12 to75 men) have been under $100 and our next basic Boot Camp will be in early 2017. Please be watching EVENTS, below, for upcoming announcement our Winter 2017 Boot Camp. (Our next Advanced will also be held in 2017--stay tuned)
We're committed to staying in the message, walking with God, and creating deeper friendships, with a mission of Isaiah 61 to "heal the brokenhearted and set the captives free," wherever that takes us. We do occasional outdoor activities together including backpacking, camping, shooting, etc. Once-in-awhile we'll see a movie together. Every Summer since 2014 we've held a series of up to 5 open BBQs, some for men, some for men and their families. Please contact us for a visit--we'd love to have you come see what God is doing among us--and join us as the Spirit leads, if this is for you. Also, if you'd like to refer someone to us, just let us know. We'd probably start by meeting someone for a cup of coffee just to exchange our stories, then go from there. Anyone who wants to see what we're doing is welcome. We're not set up as a "typical Men's Bible Study" and guys who have their own agenda or a problem with the Ransomed Heart message generally find this group is not for them--so they weed themselves out. We are looking for men who want to experience the life of God together with other men. Over the past 9 years we've read and re-read Wild at Heart, Waking the Dead, Walking with God, Fathered by God, Epic, Love & War, Beautiful Outlaw, and listened to a number of CDs, such as The Four Streams, The Masculine Journey, etc. We've also viewed Men at the Outpost teachings, available on You Tube, and listened to RH podcasts. Occasionally, we've picked up books by other authors but come back to Ransomed Heart material by-and-large. We are not a "book of the month" club, but use written and recorded material to reflect on and to incorporate into our walk with God where it can produce fruit. We'd love to have you come by!
