Into the Wilds

Brent Henderson teaches spiritual truth to men and punctuates these truths with great stories of safaris, wilderness excursions, and hunting trips that keep men's interest while also supporting the spiritual lessons. He teaches men about God's love and grace, and he gets very honest about how men struggle with ego, approval, impure thoughts, spiritual attack, and what to do after hitting bottom.

Brent tells his own story of experiencing a personal failing as worship leader of a church and the painful way in which he was ostracized and isolated from support during his "restoration." He speaks of the people who stepped in to help him find healing and of how to understand that grace and real restoration is available through God.

He also tells stories from the many men he has counseled about moving from shame and failure to a place of relief and hope. He uses an acronym "man TEA"— Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions—to help the men he disciples and counsels. He tackles issues of pornography, addiction, lust, marriage, and failure.

Through it all, he is adamant that real transformation isn't based on trying harder but instead is found only through experiencing God's grace and love.
