We sat down with Kris Vallotton to have a conversation about Restoring Fatherhood. Zack had recently listened to a couple messages that he had spoken on this topic and knew that other men needed to hear this. Kris shares some of his own story, we talked about how important fathers are and about the lack of Fathers in society today. This conversation will challenge, inspire and convince you that the role of a Father is one of the most critical position and roles a man can have. Here is our interview with Kris Vallotton.

We sat down with Jens Jacob a filmmaker, a story teller, an entrepreneur, a creative and one of the producers from the film “The Heart of Man”. The film is a cinematic retelling of the parable of the Prodigal Son, intertwined with contemporary, real and poignant true testimonies of personal and sexual brokenness. Our JC Sacramento Men’s Community rented a theater and showed this film to hundreds of men. You could feel men being moved by the message of this film. There was deep healing, freedom and a doorway to vulnerability that came simply from watching this story. We reached out to Jens to be on Man Camp because we wanted to hear more of story behind the story of The Heart of Man, from the people who created this film. This is our conversation with Jens Jacob.

We had the privilege of sitting down with author, speaker, influencer and outdoorsman John Eldredge. We had a conversation with John about what it means to live fully alive and from the heart. We talked about his book “Wild at Heart”, about culture and men today, adventures and more.

Needing others is not a sign of weakness. In this episode we sit down with Banning Liebscher the founder of Jesus Culture and Lead Pastor of JC Sacramento. We sat down with Banning to talk about a common struggle that men have. Isolation, independence and the fear of vulnerability. We talked about why we need other people in our lives and how we are stronger together. You will laugh, be encouraged and leave challenged.

One of the phrases we use at Man Camp is, “Step out of isolation, share your story and be known.” Community is something many people talk about especially in the church community, but what does it look like to really walk with people in an intentional way. What does it mean to find your tribe? Zack sits down with worship leader Phil Wickham to talk about a journey he has been on with community that has changed his life.

Success, money, identity. How do these things interact? More importantly how do you see yourself and think God views you? Zack interviews Businessman, consultant and author Bob Hasson to talk about these questions and how critical seeing ourselves the way God sees us leads to true success.

Welcome to Man Camp! In this first episode of this podcast we explain what Man Camp is and give an overview of Season 1 of the Man Camp Podcast. Join us on this journey of stepping out of normal, mundane and status quo and into adventure and living fully alive.
