This is the Truth Network. Nakita, destroy, crash, demolish all competitions. As he wanted, here it is. Mr. Koloff once again made his feelings very, very apparent.
It's been a long time, but the wave is over. That's a bad man. No, that's a bad man. No, that's a bad man. It's time to man up with Satan's nightmare, Natia Koloff.
Me today. It's a privilege, it's a pleasure to have Mr. Kevin Johnson. Welcome to It's Time to Man Up, Kevin. It is an honor being here on the show, would you, Nick?
Well, you and I are no stranger to one another. We've known each other. We've got a bit of history here. How long have we known each other? Just let me test you.
Uh, let's see. We met in uh I think early A, you're right before McCamp in April of 2022. Let's just go with that. Yeah. April.
We're about four years now. Four years that we've been running and gunning together, man. Yeah, man. We're running after the heart of God, brother. Yes, sir.
And you are, so we're calling you today from the down of the great state of South Carolina, right? Yeah, you get me, you got me online in Newberry, South Carolina, brother. Newberry, South Carolina.
Now, you're a marketplace guy. You're out working and laboring in the marketplace, yeah? Yes, I am working right now. Yes, sir. Working at Samsung.
I've been here for eight years. Eight years at Samsung. That's a familiar name. Plug for Samsung there. But, well, and of course, I want to, you know, we'll get to the health and wellness aspect of things here shortly before we get there.
Our introduction. I mean, you have been a participant in one of the things that Lex Luger and I have a heart for, and that's for men's ministry. And, of course, these camps that we facilitate now every spring and fall, every April, every October, down in a little town called Royston, Georgia. We got a hundred-acre piece of property down there. And what was your, when you first, let me ask you, Kevin, when you first heard about Man Camp, what was your first impression or what?
What prompted you to want to come?
Well, you know, we were in our church, we were looking for a man's. Just someone to speak to the heart of man in our church. And, you know, of course. being that I was a part of that group in that at the church at the time. You know, I was searching.
So I found, you know, you and Lex, and y'all were doing some things on, you know, line. And I said, you know what? I'm going to get with my church group and see if we can't get in touch with. With Nikita and see if you could come to church.
So once you got there, You know, started talking about the camp a little bit, you know, got me all fired up. You know, I know there was an opportunity there. And, you know, what I first got from it is that that had to be the place. that I know God wanted me to be at to kind of search for him because I can't wait to get back every time. It's just something about it.
So it's drawn me there. And you know what? I can't find a better way to spend my time. I'll be honest with you. I can't wait to get back.
Well, and on that note, you have been back a number of several times, come back now on staff and come back and serve.
So the camp itself has been impactful for you. What would you say? What was maybe one or two of the greatest takeaways for you? What were the biggest impacts at camp first? Let me ask you that.
Okay, well, that's pretty easy. The top thing I got off tobacco, I was probably a 25-year veteran of tobacco products from cigarettes and finally to chewing tobacco, where it was just one of the things I was worshiped. You know, it was one of the things that we just didn't, that was something I couldn't ever get rid of.
So when I went to camp, I got to meet all your staff guys and, you know, the prayer and all the things. And one of the things kept bathed in my mind. You put in the work, God's there for you.
So I decided, I said, you know what, God, you said you'd help me.
So I buried that chewing tobacco can up there on that mountain, and I ain't never picked it up, and it's been four years now. I've been completely free of tobacco. One other little part there, since we got a, you know, you got me started in this good health and wellness kick. One of the things that I've also taken away from learning and just being healthy and being mind, body, and soul, which is what we teach. Is that you know, I got away from sugar.
I got away from soda. I hadn't had a soda in like four years now.
So that's the two biggest things I can tell you that I have taken away from being at camp is that God will meet you there. You just got to be willing to work and go and just keep pressing in. And I'll tell you what, brother, it has been, I talk about it often, and especially here at work with so many people who are fighting addictions and stuff.
So I offer to, you know, just say, hey, I know a man at Cam, brother. Come on.
Well, those are two powerful, powerful, powerful testimonies. One, being set free from tobacco, that nicotine can have a strong hold on people, right? And And so, you know, that in and of itself, and then You know, just I mean, I'm blessed to hear because one of the things we do, you know, as you're sharing how the camp impacted you, one of the things we're hopeful, anyway, is that when guys come, they come from all variety of backgrounds. I mean, everything from law enforcement to military. We had a guy there not too long ago who had a full prosthetic leg, lost it, a veteran of Of war and had lost his leg and was able to attend camp.
We've had guys with one arm and legally blind and men from every walk of life, like literally, right? Multimillionaires to homeless to youth, I say youth, 18 because it's 18 and up, but youngsters. And the oldest attendee more recently at 81 years of age, Daniel from Louisiana, right? We've had men from over 25 different states, from Canada, from Europe, through word of mouth, just word of mouth, like you're hearing today, some of Kevin's story and how camp impacted him and what he encountered and experienced. And of course, we cover everything from obviously being spiritually healthy, like you know, that's a real catalyst, one of the things we focus on on camp, but also being emotionally and mentally healthy and, of course, physically healthy as well.
Lex Luger will actually come in and teach a segment on eating and exercising, and we just believe that's a strong component. Of course, Kevin, let me ask you this. What has prompted you to now want to come back and serve, which you have done several times now, come back and served and volunteered on staff at camp?
Well, it just, you know what, it just means so much to serve. You know, the more I learn, it's just, you know, I can't get enough, you know. Jesus came to be a servant, you know, we all servants, you know?
So, I just know that what God has done for me and what He's got inside of me, you know, I think one of the guys there at camp said it best: He said, You know what? I just noticed something about you. He said, You know what? You got a lion inside. Don't put a harness around him.
Don't keep what your God is putting inside of you. You know, let the world see it.
So, just. You know, so I can't get enough of just being a part of the group. And seeing that, you know, we're just, I'm amazed every single time that I go. I pick up something, God's doing amazing work with these men, this ministry, this vision, and I can't get enough of it.
So honestly, it's just like, I think it's just what God intended on my life and ordained my walk with this. And I just can't get enough in the kitchen.
So I look forward to serving so much.
Well, I just wrote it down. I wrote down: let the lion inside of you roar. That's right. Amen. Exactly.
And which is a powerful, powerful statement in and of itself, right? And we'll see, you know, somebody goes on the website for those who are wondering, mancamp.info, like maybe you're already inspired for something, something Kevin has said. You're going to see incredible testimonies on there. You're going to see actually some before and after weight loss photos of guys who came to camp and God convicted them. Of their poor health, of not taking care of those physical bodies, which there's scriptures on that.
There's 2 Corinthians 6:19 and 20. That do you not know our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit and bought at a price? And of course, that price is Jesus, right? Calvary, and what Jesus paid on the cross for all of us. And then there's a mandate for us to take care of these bodies once we have that revelation.
But you'll see testimonies. I get letters from wives who thank me for the way their husband came home. I mean, marriage is on the brink of divorce. That God impacted that man in such a way. When they went home, I'm thinking of one of the guys right now.
He's one of the guys that runs our kitchen. His name's Chris, whose marriage was on the brink of divorce. But because of how he encountered. God, how he impacted Christ. He went home, and he didn't have to really say a whole lot.
His wife saw the changes. She sensed and saw the changes in him. And it wasn't even something he necessarily had to say. And so, you know, by all means, go to that website and check out some of the stories, some of the testimonies. You know, if you're in the military, if you're in law enforcement, if you're a first responder, if you're a pastor of a church out there, here's some good news too.
We have a scholarship fund. We just want to bless you. We want to bless you and help out financially. If you're not any of those things, you can still come to camp if you have a financial need. We're not going to let money be a reason why you can't come.
We will work it out. If you have a desire, come and draw closer to God. We will work it out financially speaking. And of course, little town in Royston, Georgia. Kevin, what would be one of your.
And coming back and on staff, what would be one of your highlights, like a without giving too much away, but a story that of another man, what he encountered that impacted you? What would you say? Nieta Koloff here, and I am excited. Did you hear the huge announcement, the big announcement?
Well, maybe it's a minor announcement. Anyway, Facebook, go look up my new fan page, Nieta Koloff Fans, and like it and follow today. I don't know where to be alive. If you would like to support Koloff for Christ Ministries, for a gift of $25, Nikita will send you his two CDs, Adoration and Declaration. For a gift of $50, Nikita will include his book, Wrestling with Success.
And for a gift of $100 or more, Nikita will include a signed copy of his newly updated life story, A Tale of the Ring and Redemption. Go to www.coloff.net and donate today. You talk about what I've experienced in some of the last camps. What you've witnessed on any of the camps. What you've witnessed.
Okay, okay, I got one. You just said it. The guy with the prosthetic leg kind of took me away. The guy. We got a little bit of a challenge there for the guys.
It's not a big challenge, but what I've seen the will of God do to this man, he came up a hill and didn't need any help, and he just walked up the hill by himself. And you know what? We built a friendship with that. And he still messages me. You know, that's one thing I take away from it.
It's the biggest thing is how God has impacted him and how many relationships we've made. with so many men across the United States and Gordon, you know, including into other countries, you know. How much? You know, we pick up from this camp, you know, it's like Amazing.
So, one thing to pick up, I'm ready to see what Kai's gonna do with the next guy here.
Well, that's it, right? Yeah, you know what I'm saying? It's just like. I never nothing ever ceased to amaze me. I can't wait to get there.
I can't wait to hug the caretaker that care that takes care of the property there on his hugging neck, all the things that we just got to be so much exposed to, Nikita. The grounds are hallowed. They're just ordained in ministry, and so many prayers, and it's just like it's just. Take your shoes off. You're on, you're on, you're on, you know, you're on holy ground.
So we're Look forward to it, brother. Come on, well. Yeah, of course, we'll keep cutting him off, but we'll go with Kevin's what he's talking about.
So, Camp Littleite. I've been doing camps there for, I don't know, 15 plus years. I don't know how many I've done at this point. A lot, a lot of camps. And an amazing staff.
I mean, I have some guys that are back on staff that have done 25, 30, 35 camps with me that have just come back to volunteer their time and just serve men, like you hear Kevin talking about. Of course, Camp Lidlight, it's in a little town called Royston, Georgia. And it's the home, if you're a baseball fan at all, it's the home of Ty Cobb, a famous baseball player by the name of Ty Cobb. And a 100-acre piece of property there, Jerome Stratton. Is the caretaker.
You know, as we call him the caretaker, if you say, Oh, so you're the owner, he goes, No, I'm the caretaker. God's the owner of this property, right? And here's an amazing story as well. Are you ready for this? Jerome has 14 children, all with the same woman.
all with the same 14. And I think at last count, Kevin, I think 49 grandkids. Yeah, that's that's the last one. I think 49 and like five or six or more great grandkids. Yeah, you were telling me you got great grand coming down.
Yes, yes. And in fact, several, of course, he's been to he attended man camp.
Some of his sons have attended man camp and have just been impacted. And it's just rippling through his family. And so, yeah, pretty amazing impact that the camp has had. I just wanna encourage you, again, if you're out there, if you're a lady out there listening, you got that special man in your life, really just encourage them, encourage them. Don't browbeat them, but just encourage, let them know: hey, have you ever wanna go to that man camp?
You've got my blessing. And I feel confident to say. When they return home There's a good chance you're going to see a change. We had, Kevin, we had one guy come one time. I don't know if you know this story.
He said, Well, I'm here because of my wife. And I go, Really? He goes, Yeah, yeah. She was encouraging me to come to this camp. And I was like, Honey, I'm good.
I'm good. God and I are good, man. We're on good terms. And she said, Well, that's nice. She looked at him and said, But you can't get better?
And it was kind of an ouch moment, like ouch. He goes, so I'm here to get better. And he did. He went back home and he was a different man.
So, so many stories, so many stories.
Well, Kevin, we emphasize, of course, as I mentioned at camp, it's the whole man, a whole man living a holy life, making himself wholly available unto the Lord. That's the vision based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23, being whole in spirit, soul, and body, right?
So. Is it important to be spiritually healthy? Yes, it is. Is it important to be mentally healthy? Emotionally healthy.
Yes, it is. But there's a mandate to be physically healthy as well. And so, Kevin. You are on this. Relatively new health and wellness journey.
Of course, obviously the tobacco, being set free from the tobacco addiction, but also weight loss. You you've got a story. Talk to us, take a couple of minutes, talk to us about your weight loss and what prompted you to want to get healthy physically.
Well, I A couple of things, you know, of course, you know, at the beginning when I first got, you know, first met y'all and got the camp, I was 285 pounds. And I was. Not, I mean, I w I thought I was okay, you know, but I started feeling like I was uh dragging all the time.
So when I got to camp and, you know, you went through the parts where basically you start talking about diet and stuff and Of course, I wasn't taking care of myself, but And I said, you know what, Lord, I said, this is another thing I want to get back control of is my health. And, you know, of course, with your help. Uh, many a couple other guys there that's helped me along the journey, you know, uh, you know, as far as getting involved, and that's one thing, guys, or girls, gals, you get you're not telling who guys are gonna have in your path on your way, either camp. These guys is like, you know what? I know something we can do.
We can help you get this part where you're at and this and another.
So. Of course, you know, with the supplement replacement stuff, You know, already, you know, with some of the things I've learned previously through the camps and stuff. is that you know I couldn't tell you how better I feel each and every time. I mean, it's like I went from 240 to 285 pounds. And 22, now I'm 26, I'm 246 pounds.
And it's all because I'm staying obedient to what God has for me to be, and that is to watch what I am. You are what you eat. And if you would just, what my brothers always say, you trust the process. Trust the process. You walk the walk.
And you know what? I have more energy now. You know, of course, you know, I don't have time to sit here and tell you every little thing that I'm doing, but I can tell you it's a better way of living, a better way to eat. And like I said, we can tell you tons of stories about things that's working for me. And individually, I've talked to guys here.
I've talked to guys at camp, you know, of course, you know, over the stretch of four years and So it's a wonderful thing once you start getting back healthy, when you can climb up a flight of stairs and not be out of breath, when you can go outdoors and play with your grand youngins. You know, those types of things mean something to me. I'm 52 years old now. I mean, I'm at a halfway part of my life. You know, God says you're not dead, but you need to listen.
You need to be obedient to my word and to your body.
So. Step up and just be a man and man up. And that's what it did. That's what the camp's all about. That's what the people are there all about.
We're here to encourage you guys to build it. Just want to be healthy. You can't tell me how not excited you can't feel for me because this is what God has enlightened me with. This is what I'm searching for, and I can't get enough of it.
So I love it. And it's just like, you know, every step that we've made. It's been a journey. But it's been a good journey, and the health is better. I'm better breathing.
I'm better at my blood work, my lab works, all my health is good. And I can't be more proud of it. And I can't express it no more than that. It's just I can't wait to see what God's got planned for, brother.
Well, I think we can all hear the excitement in your voice. And really, so. I just want to let let what you just said settle for a moment and for the folks to just reemphasize what what Kevin just said.
So he tipped the scales at 285 pounds, and God convicts him. Kevin? Take care of your body, take care of that temple. And so he starts on this path. Initially, the things that Lex Luger and I taught him at Man Camp in terms of exercising and eating and just, you know, not necessarily, it's not even necessarily about going to a gym, although you can do that.
It's just becoming more active, right? Go ride a bike, go play tennis, go play pickleball, you know, the hot thing, right? Pickleball, go play pickleball. You know, just get more active. You know, walk a flight of stairs as he's instead of taking an elevator or an escalator, right?
Just little things that you can do that we just kind of don't think about, right? And so here he is, you know, almost, I just made a note, almost a 40-pound weight loss.
Now, for the record, Kevin's a big guy. One of my friends saw a picture of him and I standing together. He goes, he makes you look small. And I go, I go, that's because he's a big guy. He's a big guy.
He's big boned. Come on, right? But almost a 40-pound weight loss. And now, Kevin, let me ask you just real quick: is 240, mid-40, is that kind of your range? Are you comfortable there?
Or are you shooting to get... No, actually, I feel better now. And that's like I said, I talked to my doctor about it. He says, You know what? Everything looks good, brother.
You're fine.
Okay. And the thing about it is. What I love about it the most is what I'm learning a little bit at a time. is at that middle bat the middle area right there going away and I'm wearing a pair of pants, Nikita, that I hadn't worn since I was in middle school. No, come on.
Man, come on, listen. I ain't been in a thirty six in the waist pants Since I was about four thirteen to fourteen years old.
Now, Kevin, Kevin, hold on. Let me interrupt you there a second. Because somebody's going to go. He still has a pair of pants from junior high school. Come on.
I think, let me interject. Correct me if I'm wrong. I think what Kevin means is he's wearing a size pant that he wore in middle school. Will that be accurate? I just want to clarify.
I just want to clarify. So, no, that, dude, that's powerful, though, man. That's powerful.
Well, one of the things that's been a catalyst on that, we just got a few minutes left, but one of the things that's been a catalyst on that are, you know, you hear Kevin mention supplementation. I've been a big believer in that for 55 years. Supplementing, you know, eating well and exercise, but supplementing. And so I just agree. I've always got my head on a swivel.
I did some research for about a year and a half and came across this company called Tranat. And it's a French word. Just, you know, talks about getting healthy. And what impressed me, though, was the science-based products, the clinical studies, talking to one of the owners, hearing from one of the VPs or talking with one of the VPs for about a half hour before I pulled the trigger. Kevin, Just 60 seconds.
I'm sure there's a lot of coffee drinkers out there. Just one of the many products you really enjoyed is the Mojo, man, the coffee.
Okay, all right, listen, this is this. 60 seconds, Kevin. 60 seconds. Here we go, brother. Here we go.
All right. Listen, guys, I was a three to four cup a day drinker, okay? If I was doing Starbucks, I was doing Dunkin', I would spend anywhere from $15 to $25, somewhere in that category. With this coffee mojo I can't explain. I've been on it now for a month.
And it's about uh one cup. And I can go all day, no crash. Energy from the beginning of work to the end of work. I come home, I can still do some things. My heart doesn't give me jitters.
I don't get any kind of a feeling of anxiousness or anything. It's just good feelings. Got a good. Vibe to it actually gives me it's got a mood-enhancing element inside of it. I really can't get technical with the words, but all I can tell is what it's been doing for me.
It's healthy. And you're at work. You're there at Samsung. I know your daughter, Samantha, right? Savannah.
Savannah. Savannah's doing it. Savannah loves it.
Some of your guys there at work are loving it, right? Absolutely. They want to know where my energy is coming from. They want to see where's a 52-year-old guy getting all the energy from, and these 23-year-olds out here just like they're struggling.
Okay. Well, I know. And so let me just say: so, if you're a coffee drinker, I'm serious. You got to check out the Mojo. I'm going to give you the website here in just a moment before we run out of time.
And there's others, man. One of the hottest buzzwords in the marketplace right now is collagen, peptides, and Tranaud has a liquid collagen that'll just blow the stories and testimonies. We got two Facebook websites with over 100,000 testimonies on these Facebook websites. And the stuff works. And if it works, I'm going to let you know about it.
And or I feel I'm doing you a disservice as one of the fans of the Show and uh, so I want to encourage you to go to man camp, excuse me, go to mancamp.info for more information on the man camp. Go to mancamp.info and and just simply go to koloff.info, my last name, k-o-l-o-f-f kolof.info to learn more about Trinaut. And I'm telling you, if you're looking for something science-based, clinically studied, something for joints and bones and energy, gut health, right? Gut health, and something. If you're a diabetic out there, check this out.
Something you'll see on the website that turns. Sugar, when you take sugar in, 50 to 90 percent converts it to fiber.
Okay, just think about what I just said for a moment. a product that will take Uh food you eat. that that immediately produces sugar in your body. And we'll transfer that into fiber. That's Huge.
I'm going to tell you, we just scratched the surface, man. We got some things for the ladies out there, in addition to the collagen for hair, skin, and nails. And Kevin Johnson, man, is I'm so honored to have you a part of the man camp. And I'm so excited for you on this healthy journey, man. Just excited.
