Wild on the Path Introduction

…For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty.—Paul. Philippians 4:12-13 [The Passion Translation].

​Welcome to Wild on the Path

​MEN LIVING AND LEADING THEIR FAMILIES. WILD ON A PATH OF DISCOVERING THEIR OWN WILD HEART — EXPERIENCING A LIFE OF JOY, UNTAMED PASSION, AND FREEDOM. REAL MEN WHO CREATE A SPACE WHERE THOSE THEY LOVE CAN GROW, THRIVE AND FOLLOW THEIR LEAD. JOIN THE TRIBE!

WILD ON THE PATH is a place for men to come into their own, to figure out how we are uniquely hardwired, and lead our families. It is a community of men sharing in their commonality, discovering how to live from a wild heart for God, pursuing a life of passion, adventure and freedom, walking with God on a path to become the men and leaders that He created us to be. That is to say, "Wild on the Path!" It is also a place for family and friends to help inspire the men who lead them!
We hope that you will choose to take this journey with us as not only men, but as brothers, seeking to thrive in our uniqueness on the wild path of Jesus and that you will become the leader you were intended to be!
At some point in our lives, either through disrupting circumstances or in response to the deep cry of our hearts for more, most of us come to realize that our daily lives are far away from the true desires we have deep in our hearts, and from the promise that Jesus offers from the depths of his own heart…

“I came so that they may have real and eternal life— more and better life than they ever dreamed of” (John 10:10 - MSG).
At this crucial point, in his love, God is offering us the possibility to stop, reflect, and ask the kind of questions that will help us redirect: So ask yourself..

• WHAT KIND OF LIFE AM I EXPERIENCING?
• AM I UNSATISFIED OR STUCK IN A RUT?
• WHAT KIND OF MAN HAVE I BECOME?
• DO I KNOW MY VALUE?
• WHAT KIND OF IMPACT AM I HAVING ON THOSE I LOVE?
•DO THEY RESPECT ME AND LOOK TO ME AS A LEADER?
What if there is more!— what if there is a path to experience that “life to the fullest” that Jesus talks about? What if you could live with passion, adventure and freedom, with a true sense of meaning and purpose while becoming the man God created you to be? And what if from the overflow of who you are becoming you could create an atmosphere of love, joy and peace where those you love grow and thrive under Your care?
There is a path that only gets followed by a few who are wild enough to journey on it, those who choose to walk it come to know that it leads to life well lived, but it is a process that they have submitted themselves to so that they can become that kind of man. This wild path is out there! It is available to those few willing to accept God’s invitation to be shaped, formed and forged by Him into the tribe of men He created them to be. These are men who choose to live as part of this wild tribe on the path! We invite you to join us on this wild path!
​
“This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6:16.

Our Vision

There are many great venues that offer individual guidence and incouragement for men and we love what many of them have to offer. That being said, some gather great followings, others enlighten and encourage, others have led to the unfortunate spiritual emasculation of men in our culture. Our purpose is to provide the Body of Christ a men’s ministry tool box that will help the churches with limited resources to develop a tribe of wild, passionate, spiritually healthy, vibrant, leaders who will become love their families, lead their communities, and take the good news of Jesus with them as He is lived out of their lives.
This is not just another focus on men’s bible study! Rather, it takes deep dives into the way God has hardwired us as men an the things that we all experience. We accept the invitation to transformed into the nature of Jesus, enjoying our union with God while banding in a tribe of men who are pursuing the very heart of God.
