Testimonies & Testimonials

Having my husband be a part of TAWCCM these last several years has truly transformed our marriage. We are complete opposites who fell in love and have now been married for 18 years. Over the years, we’ve walked through many trials, counseling, and stayed faithfully plugged into church the entire time. Yet nothing has challenged and strengthened our marriage the way TAWCCM has.

It has pushed my husband to dive deeply into the Word, learn transparency among other men seeking discipleship, and step into the leader God created him to be. When he seeks the Lord and invests in the fellowship of this group, he comes home from work still in communion with God—ready not only to meet me where I am, but to lovingly lead our family through life’s obstacles.

I am so grateful for the way God has used this ministry in our marriage and family.

When Mike and I met, we both brought kids into our relationship, he has 1 daughter and I have a daughter and a son. My daughter was 20 at the time. Blending families is always hard, it’s even harder if the parents are not fully committed to God and church. At first, she referred to him as my mom’s husband, then she changed it to this is my mom and Mike. In 2020, Mike went to his first men’s retreat at the mountain top. He came back changed. A few months later, we were at their house, she and I were talking, and Mike was hanging out with the boys. I asked her if she had noticed the change in him and she said yes. Since then, their relationship has grown. She now refers to us as her parents. She reaches out to him if she needs something or has something to share. Now when her and her family come over, they sit and talk. She trusts him and knows that he will always be there for her and her family as well as her brother. He enjoys our grandkids and they love spending time with him and talking. Our granddaughter adores him, at 6 she already knows he is just a phone call away if they need him.

The first year, he tried to back out, tried making excuses as to why he needed to stay home, I started praying that he would go. Mike has now gone to the Mountain Top 7 years and each year he comes back with his faith stronger and his commitment to God, our marriage, family and church stronger. I’ve watched him step out of his comfort zone to help other men that are struggling with different issues. He has started a small group for those dealing with PTSD. He has also gotten involved with other men’s groups through our church.  He openly talks about God. He shares with me things he learns while studying the Bible. He makes time for daily devotion and prayer. I’ve watched him develop relationships with other Godly men, which I think is important. They know they are there for each other.  I don’t know what happens on the mountain top, he says God shows up different ways each time he goes. I’ve watched him grow into a Godly man, who shows his family how much he cares and loves us.  

If you are debating about the Mountain Top and weather it is worth your time, trust me, I’m seeing firsthand how important this weekend is and the changes it will bring not just in his life, but to those around him as well.
