VLOG: Gladiator Night

Posted by phil

Another addition of a “lost” VLOG we are re-posting to our blog!

Men. We love letting boys be boys, while at the same time, teaching boys to be men. And not just men, but men of God.

While I’m not saying you have to have huge muscles and be mean and tough to be a man, there is something within boys that loves acting like some of the “manly men” that watch on TV or in movies. For some of the younger boys, they are brought to life, just by getting to play “tough” while being surrounded my men who passionately love Jesus and love them as well. There is no doubt that through our counselors these boys interact with Godly men of all shapes, sizes and giftings. But in this one game, Gladiator Games, they get to let their testosterone run thick and they get to play hard. Man it’s fun to watch…
