Beyond Information, Towards Transformation
This curriculum is for churches committed to developing deep and abiding men's ministry. It targets the heart of social and cultural sin issues that threaten families and churches. We aim to build amazing legacies by discipling men beyond mere information or emotionalism, fostering true spiritual growth through challenge, accountability, and brotherhood.
The Four Pillars of Forged Manhood
Each pillar provides a framework for growth, action, and mutual sharpening.
Cultivate the courage to live by and declare truth. Engage in campfire storytelling, sharing formative moments, and reflecting on Scripture's application in daily life. Write and share 'letters to my son' on truth and calling.
Embrace spiritual discipline and the power of intercession. Participate in early morning cold-water plunges followed by prayer and meditation, reenacting purification. Fast together and engage in focused prayer for families and community.
Develop skills and character for effective stewardship. Engage in shared labor projects like building for ministries or helping those in need. Discuss legacy, financial wisdom, and training the next generation in practical provision.
Train for spiritual and physical readiness. Undertake challenges like night patrol walks, rappelling, obstacle courses, or survival skills training. Debrief on how to spiritually guard your heart and home against sin and cultural pressures.
The Rhythm of Brotherhood
Structure, challenge, and authentic connection are key.
Spiritual Triage First
Meetings begin with a crucial question: “Is there anything we need to talk about right now?” This open prompt sets the tone, giving men permission to name unspoken burdens.
High-Agency Engagement
Activities are physically and spiritually engaging: campfire storytelling, cold-water plunges, shared labor projects, night patrols, rappelling, survival skills. Men open up after pressure, not before.
Atmosphere of Authenticity
Think: Fire, food, shoulder-to-shoulder interaction. Let silence have room. Rotate homes. This creates a rhythm where men are challenged, equipped, and bound together.
Quarterly Retreats
Overnight retreats with no tech, no distractions. Focused on solitude, challenge, group confession, prayer, and recommitment.
