Next Man Skills Session
—Processing Game—
Sunday November 9th, 6-8 PM
There are some things the internet or ChatGPT just can’t teach you — things that need to be learned hands-on and in-person, from a seasoned expert. Some examples from past Man Skills sessions:
- Firearm handling and accurate shooting
- Cleaning and skinning wild game / deer
- Making and setting traps
- Firewood processing
- Foraging: there’s more food amongst the weeds that you’d believe
- Navigation (without GPS, or even a compass)
- Fishing
- First Aid
- Knots & Knives
Dads: bring your sons! (age 10+)
Man Skills is totally newbie-friendly — if you don’t have the slightest clue about the subject skill or craft, you’re golden (the ideal Man Skills student, as a matter of fact). And even if you already know a lot, don’t let that deter you; you’ll probably still learn a thing or two. Bottom line, regardless of your current skill level, come on down to Blackwood and gain some manly knowledge with us!
Please register ahead of time if you plan to attend — this helps us gauge how much food will be needed.
Notice: there will be no Man Skills session in September (join us on the Dove Hunt instead!)
Check the Event Calendar to see when future Man Skills sessions are planned. While registration is available for the next session only, we try to get future sessions scheduled at least a couple months in advance so that guys can plan accordingly.
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.
