"I really thought that I would go each morning just so that I could say that I did it. The truth is that I got about as much out of this study as I have anything in a long time. The study helped me see some issues that I have had with my wife and I can tell you that our relationship was good before but is even better now. I can also tell you that it helped me deal with some issues with my sons. I have two great sons and we have always had good relationships but we are closer now than ever before."

Before I went through The Fight for Manhood, I was a typical male - a loving husband, devoted father of 3 kids, ambitious employee and dedicated Christian. I thought I had pretty much figured life out. Wrong. Going through The Fight for Manhood completely changed my outlook. I connected with other men in a way that I didn't even know was imaginable. I learned so much about myself. Why I think certain ways, and why I do the things I do. Most importantly though, I figured out that I had what it takes to be a real man - the man God wants me to be. I honestly wish every man would go through this study. It has changed me and my relationship with my family forever.

"The Fight has been one of the most meaningful experiences I've ever had. It's such a relief to know that I'm not alone in my struggles, and I've enjoyed watching men of all ages come to the realization that they don't have to live their lives in bondage to the world anymore."

"The Fight is a ministry that really gets to the heart of men's issues. While I was a bit hesitant at first to make the commitment they expected, I soon found that the extra effort needed to attend
consistently paid off. The sessions are very insightful on providing background on the areas where men consistently have stumbled and challenge them not only to really embrace the identity they have as men of God, but just as importantly, to act upon it. The early morning meetings have been great opportunities for candid discussions on relevant topics, and I appreciate the openness and willingness for vulnerability that my group showed. In short, the Fight has meant a lot to me, and I hope more men are willing to at least try it out."

"Here's a summary of how the Fight affected the last 16 weeks of my life. Before the Fight I was pretty much convinced that I would be separated from my wife before Memorial Day. Then I received an email from Phil Breedlove and things began to change. I signed up for the fight as a somewhat last ditch effort to see why I couldn't be in a relationship. The first few weeks were a time of keeping the mask on that I am so skilled at wearing. Then about week four or five I started being honest with my break out group and things began to change. As the weeks went on, I got used to being honest with these men and started desiring for that same honesty outside the walls of the fight. My biggest problem in my marriage is dishonesty. I asked my group to pray for me to have that honesty with the world that I was having with them. Little did I know the burden and stress that would bring. I had been fake for so long I was addicted to that lifestyle. By Memorial Day, I literally sat in the shower and cried while praying to God to remove these burdens or give me the strength to handle them. My relationship with my wife was much better but I was so afraid of failure I was feeling paralyzed. I really felt it was the devil pushing me to give up. Then came the last day of the Fight. As we sat in a dimly lit room and received our blessing and swords the answer became so clear. It wasn't the devil who was trying to get me to quit, it was God strengthening me to handle the burdens. Just as a sword maker tempers the steel, God was tempering me. If the steel is not heated and beaten hard enough, hot enough and long enough it may look good but it will break when struck in battle. Only when it is done right will it protect the warrior in his battles. God was using this pressure and uncertainty to temper me and make me battle ready. Thanks to the Fight I am not only being prepared for the battle personally, I have the comfort and confidence that I am not in this battle alone. There are warriors ready to fight for the "inches all around me, with me"…"

"I am going to do this again. It is a great program and I got a lot out of it when I was there, but I missed over half of the sessions. Count me in."
