"I would recommend this retreat to other men's ministries who are serious about breaking down walls and living life to the full. Many of our retreats stay on the surface and don't dig down deep.  This one forces you to continuously "peel back the layers of the onion" and look deep into your soul. "Chris Platt, Teaching Pastor Crestwood Baptist Church, Crestwood, Kentucky http://www.crestwoodbaptist.org/

 

"The presentation style and methods made it easy for those who attended the conference to stay engaged and personalize what they learned.  It was a fun weekend without sacrificing impact. After hosting both a "Breaking Down the Walls men’s retreat", I highly recommend that you consider these retreats as a part of your discipleship ministry." Curt Wiggers, Mountain Heights Baptist Church, Pagosa Springs, Colorado

"The Breaking Down the Walls retreat did just that for the men in our congregation.  After a weekend with Bob Hudson, I saw men breaking down emotional walls that had kept them isolated for years.  The unique combination of teaching, hands-on interaction, and small group time made a powerful impact.  I'd recommend this retreat for any group who wants to move beyond sitting in rows listening to a talking head!" Ed Rowell, Senior PastorTri-Lakes Chapel, Monument, Colorado  http://www.trilakeschapel.org/

"I would like to encourage every man to attend one of Bob Hudson's retreats (Men at the Cross or Breaking Down the Walls).  Bob offers a unique and creative method of empowering men to be all that God has created them to be.  Through Bob's retreats, men are confronted with the truth of Jesus Christ, His grace, and the need to take to the Cross all the dark places in our souls.  I personally have been set free from from lingering hurts from my past that were deeply affecting my ministry and life.  Men leave Bob's retreats feeling empowered, filled with love, grace, purity, and deeply connected to our Savior."Greg Sandman, Pastor Vineyard Christian FellowshipCurtis, Nebraska

 Testimonies from the men:

"This weekend has helped me to make powerful connections to men in the Body at Tri-Lakes that has taken years to establish at other churches.   I have renewed my personal vision for who I am and what God is calling me to be."  Mark, Monument Colorado"I am able to more clearly see the walls I have created between me and God and between me and others.  I now have plans for being intentional about being real with God and my family and other men.  I enjoyed building stronger relationships with several men." Bruce, Monument, Colorado"

It was extremely personal, I'm amazed that we were so willing to open up.  I believe it created a bond between us.  This weekend will be a source of strength to draw from in days ahead." Terry, Monument, Colorado

"I really appreciate the powerful visuals that will always remind me of what the walls I've built cut me off from.  I also am grateful for a better vocabulary to express these things.  Most of all, I'm grateful for the oppotunity to take some much needed risks in exposing my stuff.  It was a powerful, cathartic experience."  Ed Rowell, Pastor of Tri-Lakes Chapel, Monument, Colorado 

"The weekend continues to have a powerful effect on my life. It is my firm belief that the principles and the application that we learned and experienced has the potential to greatly impact any group of Christian men who are willing to go through the process." Michael, Curtis, Nebraska

"I feel that this weekend has impacted me most in the area of community.  The way the things that we did on the weekend has brought us together as a family is amazing.  The trust that I have in these men has been the most beneficial to me." Denny, Curtis, Nebraska

"The weekend helped me to focus on the necessity of being honest and open in all of my relationships.  It drew us together with a single purpose in an unbelievable way.  I would highly recommend this retreat as a way to find genuine love and commitment for a group of guys." Mike, Curtis, Nebraska

"The best thing I got out of this weekend is that I know myself better.  By knowing myself now I can open up and that lets others trust me." Virgil, Curtis, Nebraska

"This weekend impacted me personally by enabling me to break down walls between myself, my family and my brothers in the church.  The weekend also impacted our church through the revitalization of true community and love between the men of the church and their wives, family and one another.  Bob has created a safe container for men to be men in brokenness and discover who they are in Christ so that they can tap into God's grace.  The men benefitted from this safe place more than words can say."  Greg Sandman, Pastor of the Curtis Vineyard

"What a great opportunity to bare our souls, to shed our burdens and build some authentic relationships with men in the church.  It has been so good to share confession, healing and forgiveness together.  I would encourage any church or men's group to use this healing resource!  Thank you!" Rex, Curtis, Nebraska
