FSW PROTECTORS SUMMIT® WINTER (FEB 5th – FEB 7th 2027)

FSW PROTECTORS SUMMIT® WINTER (FEB 5th – FEB 7th 2027)

There’s a war going on—whether we choose to see it or not.

It’s not just in far-off places or on the evening news. It’s in your home. In your marriage. In your kids’ hearts. It’s subtle, constant, and relentless. As men, we were never meant to stand by while the battle rages. We were made to fight—for truth, for goodness, for the people God has entrusted to us.

But here’s the hard truth: you can’t fight a spiritual war if you’re asleep at the wheel. You can’t protect anyone if you’re always exhausted, distracted, or unsure of who you are.

That’s why the Full Spectrum Warrior Protectors Summit exists.

It’s not a retreat. It’s not a weekend getaway. It’s a wake-up call.

Over three days, you’ll be pushed. Physically, mentally, spiritually. You’ll train with men who know what it means to face chaos and stay grounded. You’ll learn practical skills—how to protect your home, respond in a crisis, lead under pressure. You’ll face challenges that expose your limits—and grow past them.

But even more important than all of that:
You’ll get clarity.

You’ll be reminded of what matters. Of who God says you are. Of the quiet strength that comes from walking closely with Him—even when life gets loud.

You’ll see that the war isn’t just outside—it’s within. The apathy. The shame. The fear of failing. The lies we believe about not being enough. Those are the real enemies. And it’s time to face them head-on.

Each day will demand something from you. And each evening, you’ll gather with other men—around the fire, under the stars—to reflect, connect, and open your heart to the One who fights beside you.

On Sunday morning, there’s time to worship. Time to surrender. And for some, time to step into the waters of baptism—not as a show, but as a mark of something real: a man choosing to rise.

This is for men who are ready to stop drifting.

You don’t need to be tough. You need to be honest.
You don’t need to be perfect. You need to be willing.
To show up. To lean in. To stop hiding behind busy schedules or quiet addictions. To ask God to make you a protector in the way He intended—steadfast, faithful, and unshakable.

If any part of you knows it’s time…
Then this weekend is for you.

Training Highlights:

-Firearms Proficiency: You’ll develop your skills in handling pistols and rifles, with a focus on close-quarters battle techniques. In our realistic 5,000 sq/ft shoot-house, you’ll learn how to defend your home and move your family to safety in high-pressure scenarios. Taught by seasoned Special Operators, this training includes less-than-lethal training firearms to simulate real-life threats, allowing you to practice tactical maneuvers in confined spaces.

-Concealed Carry Combatives: On the pistol range, you’ll be trained in drawing from a holster, cutting angles, and engaging threats while on the move. You’ll also work on weapons management and muzzle discipline, as well as target identification in simulated crowd situations. The training extends to vehicle defense, where you’ll practice engaging threats from within a vehicle, dismounting, and moving to safety while communicating with a partner.

-Combat Conditioning and Tactical Challenges: Expect to be pushed physically and mentally through rigorous challenges designed to awaken your inner warrior. From lifting stones and carrying logs to navigating our combat conditioning obstacle course, you’ll engage in exercises that test your strength, endurance, and mental grit. These challenges are designed to prepare you for real-world scenarios where you may need to protect your family under extreme stress.

-Combatives Training: Under the guidance of world champion fighters, you’ll practice techniques for hand-to-hand combat, weapons retention, and the use of improvised weapons. This training is crucial for situations where you may need to defend yourself or your loved ones in close-quarters situations outside the safety of your home.

-Rifle Tactics and Night Operations:  Work with our team of Special Operators to enhance your rifle handling skills, learning to navigate obstacles and engage threats from multiple positions. Come nightfall, you’ll revisit these skills in dynamic shooting stages in the dark, using flashlights to identify and engage targets with both pistols and rifles.

– Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC): Understanding basic combat medicine is essential for any protector. You’ll train with TCCC instructors to learn how to stop massive blood loss, pack wounds, and clear airways using realistic training aides and scenario-based exercises. This knowledge could be life-saving in a crisis.

-FSW Combat Conditioning Course: On the last day, you and your team will put all your skills to the test in the FSW Combat Conditioning Course. This intensive challenge includes running through the shoot-house, engaging threats out to 600 yards, defending your pistol from attackers, applying tourniquets, carrying injured persons to safety, and much more. You’ll need to work together, leading and supporting each other through fatigue and stress to successfully complete the course.

Spiritual Growth and Leadership:

Throughout the weekend, our elite coaching staff will lead 15–45-minute talks on leadership, discipline, faith, and success principles. These sessions are designed to empower you with the wisdom and perspective needed to lead your family with strength and conviction. You’ll learn how God can work in your life to help you become the best father, leader, and protector you can be.

Each evening will end with bonfire talks, where you’ll have the opportunity to reflect on the day’s training, share experiences with other like-minded men, and deepen your spiritual connection. On Sunday morning, we’ll offer an optional church service led by Pastor Fawbush. For those ready to take the next step in their faith, Pastor Fawbush will also conduct a baptism ceremony at the conclusion of the Protectors Summit®, offering a powerful moment of spiritual renewal among your peers and new brothers.

Who Should Attend:

While this is a faith-based leadership weekend, attendees do not need to be Christians to participate. Our teachings are Biblically based, but we welcome men of all backgrounds who are committed to improving themselves and training hard with humility.  All are welcome to join us for this impactful weekend in the woods.
