Testimonies from recent Men at the Cross  "It was a home run. It gave me a renewed hope that there are places in the world where you can get it all out and still be loved and accepted." Gary, Houston, Texas
"Amazing, heart changing, humbling, growing experience. The weekend will deepen my relationship with my wife and kids." Andrew, Curtis, Nebraska
"This weekend has touched my heart and gut such that I could physically feel the ache and warmth of Jesus Christ through all the men present. It is because of this that I feel the power and strength to be intentionally present in the lives of my wife, children and others, through a connectedness that was unavailable to me before because of my shame." David, Boulder, Colorado
"Having been a pastor for 19 years, I've been to more men's retreats and men's conferences than I care to remember. Most are cognitive in nature, with some good talks and decent fellowship; but I'd leave the experience largely unchanged. Men at the Cross is refreshingly different. From the moment of arrival and throughout the weekend, I was required to engage with all of my heart, mind, body, and strength. I was given the opportunity, in an atmosphere of safety, to peel back layers of self-protection that had kept the real "me" safely hidden. I found Men At the Cross to be a wholly transformational experience which has released me into a more healthy journey as the man God created me - and is redeeming me - to be."
Rev. Aram Haroutunian

 "The weekend exceeded my expectations in regards to how I thought God would be present and work through our brokenness. The weekend has helped me to reclaim my manhood and my passion. I pray that (and believe) this weekend will be the turning point in my marriage. To be reconciled, but more important - renewed beyond what I believe is possible. I also believe the relationship with my children will benefit from this weekend. Thank you Bob!" Carlos, Colorado Springs, Colorado "The weekend has helped me face myself. I have become a more integrated person.... It has forged in me a stronger desire to live in reality - to connect with my wife, sons and the world with a greater capacity to love." Adam, Littleton, Colorado  "The weekend has touched my life and heart in a way that nothing else could or has. It is impossible to put into a couple of sentences all that has happened in side me during this weekend. A healing has begun, love and power have been touched upon. I am excited to see how God will work in my life in the weeks and months to come. I know I am a different man that will be different in all my relationships. Thank you Bob, Duncan, Jonathan, Gary, Bill, Kelly and Eric for your gift of time and of yourselves." Scott, Highlands Ranch, Colorado "Men at the Cross created a safe environment for me to open up areas that were otherwise "taboo." Coming to this weekend, I was about to explode with emotions I couldn't put a name to. All men can benefit from this type of retreat. Thanks for sharing your passions with us." Eric, Broomfield, Colorado "Only one word - freedom. Freedom to be the real me. Freedom to now share who I am with strength AND a desire to share my true self with my wife, family and most importantly, God." Darryl, Evergreen, Colorado "The Men at the Cross weekend gives invaluable insight into the impact of shame in our lives. This shame drives our need to create the false self (what the Bible calls the old self). As we identify the false self we can put to it to death at the cross and risk being known by others and most significantly by God." Rabs, Boulder, Colorado
