    Into the Storm: Jim Ramos' Man Camp 2025 Keynote EP 878

    Are you a man who runs from the storm… or one who charges into it with trust and grit? What kind of man faces the storm—and what kind of Savior still calms it?  In this powerful message from Men in the Arena ManCamp 2025, Jim Ramos challenges men to stop shrinking back and start stepping up when life gets rough. Drawing from Mark 4 and the raw reality of personal trials, this talk explores what it means to trust Jesus in the middle of the storm—when the waves are high, your strength is gone, and all you’ve got left is faith. This is a challenge for every man to listen to the voice of Jesus, fix his eyes on the cross, and become the kind of man who heads into the storm instead of running from it. https://www.mancampwfr.com - Keep an eye out for info on Man Camp 2026!
