Men’s Advance: It’s not all fun and games!

Men's Advance - a lot of fun and gamesOkay, so there is a lot fun and games… HUGE Highland Games, Cool Machines Show, Climbing Tower, High Ropes Course, Horseback Riding, and a host of other activities. But that’s not what makes Men’s Advance worth attending. Activities are things guys already do together – go to sporting events, play softball, go hunting, or attend car shows – guys like to do stuff when they’re together. A man’s life is meant to be lived engaged, active, focused. A man’s life is meant to be Lived On Purpose!

Dennis Swanberg, keynote speaker for Men’s Advance, gets it. He gets the “Man Code” – the title of his newest book. Guys need challenge and teaching from God’s Word. They need salvation and discipleship. But you have to make it engaging, memorable, focused. Dennis is a comedian, a super funny guy, but really a comedian with purpose. Dennis uses humor and story to open the hearts of his audience so that what God pours in is not just information but life-changing truth.

Men, are you looking for tools to live life with balance, focus, purpose? Dennis Swanberg will deliver. For a preview, check out his website www.themancode.net.

In addition to engaging activities and a keynote speaker, Men’s Advance doesn’t let up in the challenge for men to live authentic, accountable lives together. There are practical faith-building workshops on topics such as missions, finances, freedom from addictions, marriage, single-hood, and more. There’s a special workshop for junior and senior high guys helping them apply “The Man Code” for themselves.

Local church men’s groups accelerate their bond of discipleship through sharing Men’s Advance together. Individual guys, and those without a “formal” men’s group, appreciate the chance to hang out with other guys, pursuing the same truth and purpose of knowing God and living for Him. Men’s Advance is meant to be a “mountain top experience” that lasts a lifetime.

Simply Being Together

A Different Place for Different Needs

If you walk around the Warm Beach Camp (WBC) grounds during a specific week in the spring, there’s a good chance you’ll hear beautiful music pouring out of almost every meeting room.
