Men’s Breakfast. Game Dinners. Weekend Retreats. All good things, but are they producing the life change you want to see in your men? If not, we can help you engage your men to experience the freedom, fulfillment, and purpose Jesus gives. We equip your men to disciple other men in your church and community through the Everyman Challenge.
While the Everyman Challenge gets guys doing a lot of the things churches want them to do – prayer, reading scripture, considering what God wants for their lives, all in community with other guys – the Everyman Challenge is NOT a Bible study, accountability group, small group, or church service. It is an effective tool to uncover your heart and create positive change with lasting results. Regardless of your vocation, interests, or hobbies, men long for adventure & challenge, authentic connection, and to know they have what it takes to be the man God created them to be. The Everyman Challenge offers opportunities to explore these themes with a community of guys like you.
Over six months in Everyman, you will be physically, mentally, and spiritually challenged as an individual and with your group. Rising to this challenge fosters deep bonds and genuine relationships – true brotherhood. These relationships become the foundation for you to receive and deliver encouragement and constructive challenges from one another.
Awakened, Engaged, Equipped, and Surrendered is the battle cry of this brotherhood. Reclamation of the heart, we call it. The process of God coming in and stripping away the lies layer after layer to get to the heart of the matter and give you true freedom, fulfillment, and purpose.

“For over 20 years, I’ve seen time and again that when men rise to the challenge and pursue God wholeheartedly, everything around them changes—marriages are restored, families are strengthened, and communities are transformed.”
Ben Steiger is the founder and president of the Everyman Challenge. With over two decades of experience leading men’s ministry and engaging thousands of men, Ben’s mission is clear: to see every man fully embrace the lifelong adventure of loving God with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength. Ben believes the best way to fight for a marriage, a family, the church, and a community is to fight for the hearts of men. His passion is inspiring men to step into their God-given purpose, knowing that real growth comes through challenge and perseverance. Paramount in Ben’s journey is his wife, Myla, to whom he has been married since 2000. She has played a significant role in the development and sustainability of this ministry. Together, they have raised four incredible adult children who continue to bless their lives. A leader, mentor, and encourager, Ben is driven by his love for his family and his unshakable commitment to following Jesus Christ.
God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; I Peter 1:2; II Corinthians13:14
Jesus is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5 & 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15 I Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts1:9-11; I Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13
Man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. He is the supreme object of God’s creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin.” This attitude separates man from God.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1-2
Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or in union with God, through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
John 3:16; I John 2:25 & 5:11-13; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15
Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6 & 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1
The Bible is God’s Word to all men. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21; II Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160 & 12:6; Proverbs 30:5
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily.
II Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13 & 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 2:12 & 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18
