Kingmaker Men's training event
When: Sept 19-31 (12 days)
Who: 8 Kings (adult biological males)
Where: Georgia and Arkansas (Bekham Creek Cave Lodge - see photo)
Price: $11,000
Christian based but not focused. Not every king in attendance will be a Christian.
Purposes of Kingmaker:
-To grow stronger trust and bonds between good men:
True trust is built when men fight side by side against a common enemy. This is really the only place we get to see who a man really is. And while we will not be engaging in a war... This event is set up to test your physical preparedness, emotional intelligence, and future thinking.
But it will be done alongside other kings.
Through the stresses, the vulnerability, and the successes together you will come to know each other deeper, understand how each other thinks, see each other's values, and see the vision of what they are building for their future.
-To create long lasting kingdoms:
Every man has a purpose far greater than their own lifetime. But most men do not seek it.
You will be deliberately building blueprints and strategies that strengthen your identity as a king, and define the borders of the kingdom you want to build.
-To be better prepared:
We will be testing one particular part of every family's preparedness. Not a shock test (I don't want anyone to die in the woods), but a semi-gentle testing of ability, mindset, and equipment. This will open discussion throughout the event to dig down into every king's personal situation and how to be best prepared for it.
You will also be going home with equipment specifically set up for your family's preparedness.
-To gain systems and reminders that keep strengthening your kingdom:
You will be both building, and receiving, some very specific tools designed to build you up as a King, and keep your kingdom continuously strengthening.
Tools and reminders that especially help when struggle and opposition are encountered.
No kingdom is built, nor expands without opposition... Having effective tools to combat it... and having strong allies to fight beside, helps keep the momentum going.
-To relax:
Kingmaker is going to be tough. it is going to push you physically in the beginning, and mentally/emotionally afterwards. But men don't usually make time to leave the stresses and responsibilities of regular life behind, and let the body, heart, and mind relax.
So while I will not force anyone, kingmaker is designed to be a place where we leave our connections to our regular life alone... and purposely be fully present with other men, as men.
I will be asking you to take a 9 day break from your phone.
And to do your best to set things up to run without you for the duration of kingmaker.
