“Every day at ALERT, I learn to depend on Christ more. I’ve learned there is always room to grow, that I don’t have all the answers, and most importantly, that it is my walk with Him that really matters.”
Kenjie S. | Unit 66
“Before I came to the ALERT program, my life was without direction and purpose. I would spend my time working dead-end jobs and playing video games, and occasionally participating in outdoor activities if invited. After going through Basic training, I saw a glimpse of what I could be if I wanted to change. Over my time at ALERT, I have seen God’s grace to me as my faith and reliance on Him grew. I can say for certain that ALERT has changed my life for the better in terms of leadership, discipline, physical strength, and so much more. I will forever be grateful to this program and the men in it.”
Joshua L. | Unit 64
“The unique tensions and challenges that I faced here forced me to rely on God and get out of my comfort zone. It taught me to behave with conviction, think with clarity, and speak with authority. ALERT gave me a valuable perspective about life, God, and people that I never had before.”
Len N. | Unit 61

Col. Jesse Boulden | Commanding Officer, ALERT Academy
The man at the top, and he`s still in the trenches.
As Commanding Officer of ALERT Academy, Col. Boulden leads the entire operation. But what sets him apart isn`t just the rank. It`s that he`s still here, still discipling the next generation of men, day in and day out.
That`s the standard at ALERT.

Unit 74 has arrived.
March 26th. The day it all started. A new group of men walked through the gates and made a decision that most guys their age will never make. They chose hard. They chose growth. They chose to become something more.
Nine weeks of Basic Training ahead of them. Discipline, brotherhood, challenge, and a faith that gets tested and built at the same time.
We can’t wait to see who they become on the other side.
If you want to be part of the next unit, sign up early and stay in the loop. Check out our website for more info and get on the email list. Link in bio.

You are not young forever.
As a Christian man, you want to look back on life-changing meaningful but also hard, things. But most never actually commit and push themselves.
ALERT changes that. It’s a brotherhood where you are surrounded by men who push you to stop being selfish, stop caring what people think, and start walking right with God.
If you`re a young man who wants to use this season of your life for something that actually matters, link in bio.

“A man distracted lives divided. A man serving lives directed.” – John Piper
The Caleb Nelson Memorial Race.
Petty Officer 1st Class Caleb Nelson was an ALERT alumnus, Unit 30, and a Navy SEAL who gave his life serving his country in Afghanistan in 2011.
Twice a year we lace up in his honor. 12 miles. A 3.8-mile run, a swim, 6.5 miles with a 40 lb pack, and a finish that means something.
This is how we remember the men who came before us.

The strongest men don’t walk alone.
Brotherhood isn’t built in a classroom or a church pew. It’s built in the hard moments, side by side with men who are after the same thing you are.
That’s what ALERT produces. Men who have been through something together. Who know what the other guy is made of because they saw it firsthand. The kind of friends you call in the middle of the night and they show up, no questions asked.
If you’re a young man who wants to grow in your faith, push your limits, and find the kind of brotherhood most men only dream about, this is where it starts.

If there`s a wall you keep running into. If you know there`s more potential in you that isn`t being used. If you`re tired of being comfortable and not growing.
If you feel like you could be doing more, you probably could. ALERT is for you.
Guys come in one way and leave another. Foundationally reshaped. A new outlook, a new standard, a new version of themselves that they didn`t even know was possible.
The changes that happen here are the ones you never saw coming.

Why don`t we fear God anymore?
It goes all the way back to the Garden. The Fall wasn`t just a bad decision. It was the most catastrophic event in human history. The moment man rejected God and tried to become his own god.
And we`ve been terrible at it ever since.
The things we pursue make terrible gods. Only God is God. ALERT exists to raise up men who actually believe that and live like it.
