Who We Are

The team putting on this retreat, this journey into the masculine soul, is made up of men from a variety of churches, vocations and locations in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. We have banded together because we all believe in you—that you can become the man God created you to be.

Many of us have been to John Eldredge’s boot camps in Colorado and several of us have taken the advanced training he has offered. Why? Because this message of the heart has deeply impacted our lives, our families, even our churches. We believe this message is needed by all men and we feel God’s pleasure in sharing it.

The members of the Men's CORE TEAM are top row: David Colborn, Dave Winchester, Ken Decker, bottom row: David Michael Jenkins, TJ Henley, Clint Swiney, and Thayne Hillrichs.

In addition, we have a SUPPORT TEAM who act as audio/visual technicians, small group facilitators, resource table workers, and responders. We couldn't do what we do on the weekend without them.

The Texas Band of Brothers wants to share this message about the recovery and release of the heart God gave you. And then we want to walk with you on your journey to become the man God designed you to be.

To do this we are:

Scheduling two Man Alive! retreats per year—each one unique

Holding monthly gatherings (see Events page)

Arranging adventures
