411 - Every Man Challenge Ben Steiger
Ben Steiger is the founder and president of the nonprofit ministry Everyman Challenge, a discipleship movement focused on helping men step into their God-given potential. What began years ago as an outdoor-based ministry called Heart of the Outdoors, which leveraged Ben's passions for hunting, backpacking, fishing, and archery, including an archery program that reached 15 states and 8 countries and engaged hundreds of thousands of individuals around the world, has since been refined into the work Ben believes God uniquely called him to do: fighting for the hearts of men.
Ben believes the strongest way to fight for a marriage, a family, a church, and a community is by helping a man become who God created and empowered him to be. Today, Everyman Challenge partners with churches across the country, equipping them with a discipleship tool that reaches and transforms men in a way few ministries can.
In addition, Ben leads Crest the Summit, a ministry designed to take leaders deeper in their walk with Christ and more fully into their pursuit of Him. Ben is passionate about helping men experience true freedom, lasting fulfillment, and a clear sense of purpose through a life rooted in Christ. His greatest joy comes from investing in people, especially his wife Myla and their growing family, and walking alongside men as they live out their faith with clarity, courage, and conviction. At the core of Ben's work is a simple conviction: when a man finds freedom in Christ and lives with purpose, everything connected to his life begins to change.

A lifelong lover of God’s creation, Jon is an avid whitetail deer hunter and outdoorsman. His passion for the outdoors has also led to years of involvement in the outdoor industry, including serving on the CVA Pro Staff team. For Jon, hunting is about much more than the pursuit—it’s an opportunity to slow down, enjoy God’s creation, build relationships, and recognize the connection between faith and the outdoors.
Whether preaching from the pulpit, recording weekly devotions with Christian Outdoors, sharing his testimony at a sportsman’s banquet, or simply gathering around a campfire with fellow outdoorsmen, Jon enjoys connecting with people and pointing them toward Jesus. For Jon, faith, family, community, and the outdoors are opportunities to serve, build relationships, and give God glory.
Jon would love to connect with your group for a men’s gathering, sportsman’s banquet, church event, or conversation about faith and the outdoors. He can be reached at jon@christianoutdoors.org.
