Minute with Mike / October 2018

It started in our garage… before Noble Warriors was even a concept. As a young dad, I wanted to keep Christ in front of Christmas for our family. So, I’d take the kids out to the garage and let them help me build a life-sized, wood manger to put in front of the Christmas tree to keep our focus on Jesus. When Noble Warriors was launched, I wondered if other dads would be interested in doing this fun activity with their kids.

When I offered the idea to my small contact list, 21 dads agreed to join me in a local church basement to build mangers. I was amazed by the noise, laughter and magic of seeing dads on the floor building mangers with their kids!

So, we turned the project into a church resource called The Manger Build®. Now that we’ve launched the new interactive online training platform, we believe it will create even stronger impact opportunities.
