November 19, 2022 - What are the Men Saying?

What Some of the Guys Were Saying!

The quality and power of the Men Make Men retreat is hard to put into words. I might use Phenomenal, Incredible, Invaluable or Life-Changing, but I’m not sure if they would do this experience justice. Come To The Table Ministry yearly assembles an excellent, intimate weekend of learning from the industry’s best speakers and fellowship with a band of brothers that you can find nowhere else. Every struggler and recoverer from sexual troubles needs to attend if at all possible. There is a feast at this table just waiting for you to come and take your seat with us.

There’s a reason this retreat is called Men make Men. It was awesome to see that all come together from Friday to a very emotional Sunday… Men making men.

I also realized that I’ve been over complicating my recovery and had a renewing of the mind to get back to basics…. Having a daily connection to God, Self and Others. This is a must attend event that teaches us to rise up and be more than Conquers!

The Men make Men retreat is one of the most important events of the year for me. I have never experienced this level of Christian community in any other context in my whole life. The vulnerability, truthfulness, and courage displayed by the guys who attended this retreat was life-transforming for me. I feel renewed, encouraged, strengthened, and reminded of who I am in Christ and who God is. This will be the most important thing you can do for your life.

Period point blank you need to be here, even if your friends or pastor won’t come bring yourself! It’s worth it and you need it.

This is a mind altering event, can’t wait to come back every year!

Thank you SO MUCH for another incredible retreat. I can’t tell you how much this weekend has meant to me. As I continue taking two steps forward and one step back in my recovery, knowing that I’m now alone and that I have other men doing it with me in the trenches is amazing. May God bless you and may YOU be strengthened and encouraged, Tom and team, because you have made a massive impact on so many guys’ lives. You may never know the full, amazing impact of your efforts this side of heaven, but the Lord does and He is well pleased. Thank you!!!!!

Dear Tom and Team, Thank you for organizing a great Men’s retreat through the hands of God. I didn’t know what to expect and I think that helped coming to the retreat. The contents of the retreat was simple. Simple camp, simple food, go by the fly agenda/schedule. That took a lot of the pressure off of having expectations. Being an addict and on the stages of journey made me realize that God is doing something (even if it in small steps) in my healing path. I appreciated that this retreat encompassed many parts of the healing journey (looking at the overall health of a person, being resilient, etc.) After hearing that many people benefitted from a church/group that is bold in their approach to sexual healing and is not afraid of asking the hard questions, made me challenge myself to see why am I not part of that community. I guess it’s because of where I live. There was a spontaneous prayer session which I thought was really needed at the retreat. A lot of times, we feel like we can do this on our own or we can just share stories but we need God to help us get through. I appreciated that they did that.

This is a community that makes it possible to have a place at the table. The hard part is going back to reality and facing reality. I had a community of men who were on the same path for recovery and we had a common theme. The hard part in this retreat was, how do we go back home and face the pain/music/reality and what will be our actions towards our loved ones when they react? Coming back from the mountain top into the valley. There is hope, even though the struggle gets hard at times. I think having a church like Faith Bible Church backing up Come to the Table Ministries is the big difference. Makes me want to move to MD!

We filled this Table at the RETREAT!! But there is still a seat waiting for YOU!!

What an amazing fantastic weekend it was at Camp Wabanna! Truly amazing time with all the men sharing learning and talking life’s toughest struggles we have. Men Making Men, so appropriate, so real, so empowering! Guys from all over the US & Canada joining arms combatting the enemy and walking in unity with integrity. Great speakers, great fun, hard conversations, harsh reality but so rewarding to be a part of.

As we wrap up this retreat season for both the women and the men we start looking towards the upcoming holiday’s and to 2023 and what it has in store for all of us! So excited to see what God has planned for CTM and everyone associated with this journey of hope, healing, restoration & redemption! Read some of the testimonies on the above link. Keep working recovery and continue to get connected. This is not a solo journey, it is a SHE, ME & WE journey. Embrace it, fasten your seatbelt, and look towards what tomorrow brings! One Day at a Time! Doing the “next right thing”!
