Testimonials
"I've been to Promise Keepers. I've been on church retreats. I've been to all manner of Christian and leadership events- many of them costing thousands of dollars, but my trip with Steve and his team with my two sons was one of the most rewarding and significant trips of any kind I have ever been on. Steve's presentations were not only fact-filled for the expert, but also exciting and understandable for the novice. But- and this is an important point- the trip was not just about battles, but about leadership and Christian character, what it looks like in flesh and blood and how it's formed in real life. I felt truly blessed to be able to share this trip with my sons. Months have gone by since the trip, and it is a rare day that my sons and I do not talk about some lesson we learned on it. I am a better father and my sons, I'm sure, will be better men because of it."
Warren Smith - CEO, World Newspaper Publishing
"Steve's integration of battlefield tactics, ethics and Christian leadership under fire was readily applied to everyday life at home and the workplace. His knowledge of Jackson and Lee allows him to weave their defining thoughts, speech and battles together in a riveting way that made me feel as if I had witnessed the actual events. I left our three days together trying to figure out how I could expose this experience to friends at home. I have been a part of many corporate leadership training courses for 20 times the price that had 1/20th of the value."

"When it comes to teaching Christian men about leadership, Steve Maye is one of the best. If only you receive 1/10th the benefit I did, I could not help but enthusiastically endorse your participation."
Bill Cooper - Elder, Sovereign Grace Presbyterian; President, Stalwart Systems Group
"Lead with Character provides the perfect blend of history, training, spiritual discipleship and fun for men and future men of all ages as they weave lessons of history, character and spiritual principles into a life-changing experience. Dads who want to make memories of a lifetime with their sons and who appreciate trusted voices that will reinforce vital life lessons essential to young men will find Lead with Character trips to be all that they hoped for and more."
Dr. Dan Burrell - Executive Pastor and VP, New Testament Baptist Church
"We fathers look for ways to create memories and bonding experiences of significance with our sons. This three day journey is rich beyond words and measure. The leadership lessons learned through the masterful and fascinating storytelling focused on Civil War characters and battles are rich, lasting and fun! The strong and gifted leaders of this ministry are called to share the love of Christ and reveal the certain relevance of faith during days of old - and today. Thumbs up - way up!"
Andy Calhoun - President, YMCA of Greater Charlotte
"For young people to see the faith of famous men incorporated in their daily lives is a real encouragement to fathers attempting to have their sons live a life that is based on Biblical principals. The leadership round table discussion for men was especially challenging and thought provoking. Interesting regardless of a person's knowledge of the War."
Merrill Littlejohn - Chief Financial Officer, Samaritan's Purse
"I have travelled to Israel, and this summer followed Paul's journeys around the Aegean. However, this trip packed more of a transforming punch than the others combined."
