In their own words
"I came lost and broken. I left renewed and confident. Now I am a better father, husband and continue to seek out God in my life daily."
"The woman I was before was quiet, reserved and afraid of a lot of things. The woman I am now is strong and brave; those are things I did not ever see in myself."
"Before this retreat I was not using my voice, I was shut down and feeling powerless. I am excited about stepping into my power and owning my truth and my voice."
"I came as a woman feeling really confused and insecure about decisions I have to make. I left as someone who believes I can hear God speak through me and I feel more confident and playful."
"This past weekend was life-changing for me. With the help of the guys in the room, I faced my two deepest fears: disapproval and not belonging. I feel my courage rising, being unleashed so I can be the man God designed me to be."
"An enormous hole has been filled in my soul by the love and grace of God."
"Coming out of the weekend I feel transformed. I knew there would be a change, but God has done abundantly more than I could imagine."
"Since the weekend, God has shown me how incredibly cherished I am, especially by my husband."
"I came to experience God's grace, be renewed, make connections with other women and really look inside myself. I got way more than I expected."
"Since my husband returned from the weekend, we love deeper, fight less, talk and love more and have the chance to really 'see' each other."
"I heard about The Crucible Project from my son and we decided to attend. During our time there, I hoped to rebuild our Father-Son bond, which we truly did. By God's grace I received abundantly more."
"It took the love of God out of my head and back into my heart."
"I was seen and heard and loved for who I am and where I'm at. That's a gift that every woman deserves."
