RISE TO THE CHALLENGE
We believe real impact is measured by real lives changed. Our experiences are more than events,
they’re turning points. On this page, you’ll hear from men who have walked through our programs, faced their hills, and
come out stronger on the other side. These stories reflect the heart of what we do and the brotherhood that drives it.

Hill Takers has provided me with an opportunity to further explore my faith and build confidence. I have been able to connect with men who have become brothers in faith from all walks of life through pure and honest conversations. It’s refreshing to know that other men have gone through similar trials while also finding a sense of community I had been missing in my life. At the culmination of the Rooted course, most of our group carried forward to Hill Takers Guide where we experienced P.O.W.E.R. and how it impacts our lives and the community around us.

Hill takers gave me the push to pick up my cross and follow Jesus. The brotherhood I’ve found here has not only strengthened my walk with Christ but has also given me purpose and P.O.W.E.R. I have gained true understanding as to what living as a biblical man looks like. Together, we stand as a threat to the darkness and my life has been forever changed.
Hans Bleimund, Hill Taker
My experience with Hill Takers allowed me to break down some barriers in my life and help me understand scripture through a new lens. The connection and brotherhood in the programs are outstanding, providing a space for men that is difficult to achieve in a world driven like a hamster wheel. This is a ministry that all men need.
Stephen Rylander, Hill Taker
Being part of the Hill Takers brotherhood has led me to look into Hills that are meaningful and worth fighting for with other men and helping others along the journey. My family and marriage have thrived from this and it’s only the beginning. Having Ruthless Trust taught me how to Lean In and Lock On to what God has put in front of me.
Sergio Pena, Hill Taker
“Hilltakers gave me the framework to face the “hill” in my life with Christ at the center. It equipped me to play offense—living with eternal purpose, growing in intimacy with the Trinity, and walking daily in step with the Holy Spirit. Because of Hilltakers, I strive to be a threat to the kingdom of darkness, helping men find and follow Christ.”
Danny Baylis, Hill Taker
HT Rucking pushed me beyond my limits, both physically and mentally. It wasn’t just about the miles we covered; it was about the brotherhood and the deeper conversations along the way. I came out of that experience stronger, more focused, and connected to a group of men who truly have each other’s backs. HT Rucking didn’t just challenge my endurance—it challenged my perspective on life.
Jacob Ziech, Hill Taker
“Hill Takers offered me an invitation to intentionally explore my faith amongst other men of different walks of life, yet similar circumstances. The experience was life-altering. Turned out this wasn’t just a challenge to explore. It was an opportunity to forge a brotherhood and build strength in all aspects of life, especially my faith. It’s a place and a program like no other out there.”
Mike Fantozzi, Hill Taker
