Good morning fellas. I hear regularly from guys, especially after a weekend experience like Wild at Heart Basic or Becoming a King, that they could really use a place to connect with other men, outside of church or just "going for a beer". A couple men in our community are offering a monthly Wild at Heart Fire in their backyard. These fires carry a bit more weight than a backyard campfire. - Fires aren't religious - Your story matters - No bullshit allowed - Confidentiality is essential I've reached out to them and they would love to have you come by. @Jeff Bender - next one is March 17. 3rd Tuesday of each month, 630-830pm Contact him here through messaging or go to his Fire page here: City Fire - Jeff Bender Dan Toews 2nd Monday of each month, 630pm Contact him through his Fire page here: Sons & Brothers Fire - Dan Toews These are in the Edmonton area, so for you guys outside that, have a look at the Wild at Heart map for local fires near you. I hope you take a chance and join these fine men. It will be good for your heart.

Last June I once again stepped into the martial arts but this time it was my heart looking to stay alive as much as my body. I have 5 big WHY's behind this. I write to men on Substack. Read the full dispatch here: https://substack.com/@thundercompany/note/c-184968973 WARNING - GRAPHIC - "Marcus, You Are Never Out Of The Fight" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnUnQPEfSpM tldr: WHY #1 - I'm a warrior. WHY #2 - I'm a teacher. WHY #3 - I'm a learner. WHY #4 - I treasure my body. WHY #5 - As a man, my life is designed to be a series of rites of passage. WHY #6 - I treasure my heart.

Hey Doug, are you able to share the group photo from the Becoming a King retreat?

Kings. One and all.

My brothers. Welcome. It's an honor that you would stop by. My name is Doug Kramer. I am the son of my Good Father and an apprentice of Jesus Christ. I am the husband to my queen, Miss Judy for better than 30 years now. There but for the grace of God (and hers!) We are raising six world-changing children, three young men and three young women. It is my greatest joy, my most fierce battle and my refining fire. And I lead Thunder Company in creating experiences that lead men and boys to remember who they are. But not the sanitized version. The true one—Sons of God - wild, disciplined, free, wholehearted, forged for courage and legacy. Through Thunder Company, I’m building a culture of initiation, strength, and brotherhood for fathers, mentors, and the young men we’re raising. If you’re tired of the fear and indecision… If you refuse resignation, numbness, and drift… If you want to become the man your people can depend on— Welcome. Raise thunder. Body. Battle. Beauty. Risk. Purpose. Legacy.
