New 4RMations is a non-denominational discipleship ministry equipping men to live full, adventurous lives in Christ through the 4Rs of relationship, rescue, restoration and release, so they may become the men of influence God created them to be, and lead others to do and be the same.

Keeping in mind that everything we do is ultimately about making disciples, we offer three formational entry points designed to move men from casual observation of Jesus to crucial engagement with Jesus.

Casual Adventures Invite Men In

New 4RMations’ Casual Adventures involve minimal risk and serve as meaningful opportunities to connect around the kind of things guys love. These would be the kind of adventures a man would love to do on his day off or a weekend away.

Critical Adventures Raise Men Up

New 4RMations’ Critical Adventures bring a man to emotional, intellectual and spiritual self-awareness in an atmosphere of trust and affirmation. The formation process is fostered through biblical teaching, reflection, discussion, planning, accountability and action. These adventures involve a higher degree of risk, asking a man to take stock of himself while in community with other men, to answer the question, “Do I have what it takes?"

Crucial Adventures Send Men Out

New 4RMations’ Crucial Adventures are designed to move a man into transformational action in his own life, family, workplace, church, and broader community. Deeper waters require deeper intimacy with Christ (and greater help from those around him). These adventures have a high degree of risk, creating radical dependence on God, strengthened character, spiritual authority and godly influence. The question before him now is, “Does God have what it takes?”

Services We Provide

Adventure Ministry for Men, Spiritual Direction for Men & Women, Christian Life Coaching for Men & Women, Coaching 4RMinisters, Relationship Enrichment 4RCouples, and Seminars, Workshops & Retreats, most of which are anchored in the message of Ransomed Heart.

Somehow, for some reason the message of Christianity has been distorted, or hijacked into something to make man conform to an image that God never intended. New4Rmations gets back to the basic biblical message of God creating us in His image and reaching out to us for the relationship we were meant to have with our creator. This group speaks openly and honestly about their lives and challenges. It's a great fellowship of men who are dangerous to the enemy's plans and want Gods will for their lives.

There comes a time in life when all men seek, knock and ask those critical questions that nag at their very souls. For some it happens early, for others it may be later in life but they all ask: "Why am I here?" "Will I come through?" "Can I overcome?" The resounding answer is no. The enemy teaches them even as little lads that you will fail and you are a failure. At NEW 4RMATIONS, Tim McNamara and Charlie Vensel are the real deal. They have wrestled with these questions and they have found victory. They are daily walking headlong into the adventure that is life with Christ. They have taken that adventure into a more aggressive journey as of late with the formation of NEW 4RMATIONS. I know their impact of the Kingdom of God, particularly in the Upstate of South Carolina, is going to be measured in generations. I am proud to call them by friends! The have the right stuff! Jesus! Deploy into one of their missions, adventures, events, boot camps and bring lots of guys. I promise you will never be the same! I am not the same because of their love and friendship!

New 4RMations offers an inviting, non-judgmental, and comfortable experience for Christian men who are looking to discover themselves and what makes them come alive. This organization does a phenomenal job of creating an environment where the "religious" aspects of Christianity are shed, meaning that it welcomes men as they are; no traditional-church attitude involved. It seeks to engage the real person, not the "good Christian guy;" the outdoor-cigar-smoking-fishing-racing-intellectual-emotional-artistic-hiking-humble man. The casual adventures are a great place for community and establishing long lasting friendships as well as engaging the God-given purpose and desires of men's hearts. These adventures typically involve a testimony/teaching that is extremely applicable to life. The crucial and critical adventures offer deeper community and relationship with others as well as God. These are especially potentially life-changing. I went on a casual adventure with a group of guys to the Tuckasegee river in NC. I met new friends with many of the same struggles. We were able to shed the "poser" for a few days and be truly authentic with each other. The experience allowed me to "unplug" from my daily routine and environment so that I could relax and get new perspective. The 3 short teachings (1 each day about 30 minutes each) based on John Eldredge's books offered tons of great lessons and perspectives. Most of all the experience was simply enjoyable. I had a great time fishing, learning, and talking to others. The food was fantastic too. I highly recommend a casual adventure. New 4RMations deserves a 5/5 for its efforts, teachings, adventures, and offering a place for men to be men the way God intended them to be. Subscribe to them and go on an adventure! You will not regret it!

New 4RMations is still a young ministry but Charlie and Tim have already had a big impact on my life. I have joined in with many men through New 4RM that are walking the same journey I am on - seeking and finding God in the good and the bad times in this life. With New 4RM, you can be yourself and be redeemed in the process. Thanks Charlie and Tim for following God's call and filling a void in the Upstate of SC with New 4RM.

If you are a man who is looking to connect with other men for the expansion of the Kingdom, You found it! All of us need to connect and to connect with purpose. This organization is getting it right
