MAN QUEST

April 11 – 13, 2025

Camp Cho-Yeh
Livingston, TX

Stay tuned for the next Man Quest event!  We’ll update here and open registration as soon as it’s scheduled!

Man Quest will be an incredible weekend event; a catalyst to transform men’s hearts and move them closer to Jesus! Man Quest will feature inspiring and thought-provoking speakers with spirited and moving worship. Expect a weekend filled with authentic, meaningful conversations and great times with like-minded men. Our goal for the weekend is to truly set every man’s heart on fire and prepare them to plug back into their daily lives with fresh eyes and a renewed desire to follow Jesus consistently.

At Man Quest there will be plenty to eat, lots of fun to be had, and several free time activities to choose from including archery tag, axe throwing, fly fishing lessons, and blacksmithing.

The theme for this weekend is “Oriented.” Does your heart and your life reflect proper orientation with the true purpose of your existence? Does the compass needle of your heart point toward Jesus? Are you oriented on the path Jesus has for you, and properly navigated to follow it?

Speakers for the weekend will be Brian Jenkins, Scott Pollock, Ernie Frey, and Dave Shannon.  Music will be led by Bryce Moore and Tanner Bishop and a full band.

Check in will be from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm on Friday April 11th.

First session begins at 7:00 pm Friday.

Final Session ends Sunday the 13th at 9:30 am, in time for all dudes to make it to service at their home churches.

Event Fee $275
Fly Fishing Lessons $25 (optional)
Blacksmithing $25 (optional)

Full and partial scholarships are available for any dudes having the desire to go but not the funds. We want every single willing warrior to be there! Just call Dave at 281-300-3342.

Our Events

Men tend to build relationships with one another shoulder-to-shoulder — doing stuff together — and tend to regress into isolation without a good enough reason to get out on a regular basis.  This is why men’s events are such a big part of Man Stuff Ministry.  We want every dude visiting this site to always have a Man Stuff event coming up, where they can not only connect with God, but connect with other dudes too.

Creating strong bonds with other Christian men, through Scrums (small groups) or otherwise, is the ultimate goal in staying on path and maintaining spiritual growth.  But regardless of whether you currently have several strong Christian friendships, or none at all, regularly attending men’s events is immensely important — a connection between men at opposite ends of that spectrum is Holy Spirit two-handed slam dunk time, guys!

  • Man Skills is a monthly 2-hour session event where guys eat dinner and learn a fundamental manly skill, with each session featuring a new guest expert to teach that month’s skill.
  • Wild at Heart is a 4-day weekend event that occurs two or three times a year, where men journey together in discovering their true God-given identities — which is essential for a truly free and full life.
  • Man Quest is an annual weekend event with multiple guest speakers and small group discussions, each year having a specific theme to stimulate our thoughts and conversations, shift our perceptions, and draw us closer to Jesus.
  • The Annual Dove Hunt is an all-inclusive south Texas dove hunting weekend, with chill accommodations, great food, plus a message and live music each night.
  • Iron Fire Jesus is a new blacksmithing weekend event, where each man forges his own blade under the instruction of a professional bladesmith.  As we transform these impure hunks of steel, so we are being transformed.
  • Scrums are Man Stuff Ministry’s version of men’s small groups, which are more than just Bible study groups.  Scrums are tightly-knit, moving together in unity, relying on each other, in pursuit of all being disciples of Jesus.  If you’re not in a Scrum yet, sign up to be a part of the next one in your area.
