Field Training in the High Uintas: Exposing Boys to Hardship, Discomfort, & Hard Skills

Send us a text! It used to be that went sent our boys into groups like the Boy Scouts of America to train for manhood. But as those organizations have drifted left, we lack male spaces for discipleship and formation for young men. At St. Brendan’s Academy and Refuge Church, we’re trying to forge a new path forward. Recently, pastor Ethan Senn and Tate Taylor took some of the young men from Refuge Church on a field training exercise in the high Uintas of Utah. During their time in the mountains, the boys learned land navigation, fire building, firearms handling, and various other survival skills. It’s all part of the Titus 2 program, which aims to train boys in hard skills and mental fortitude in preparation for manhood. 2025 New Christendom Press Conference: https://www.newchristendompress.com/2025 Sign up for the NCP Games: https://beregenerated.com/games/ Fuel your training with Mt.
