Initiation
The journey begins with a challenge. What happens next is something each man must experience for himself.
Six months
One hundred and eighty days.
Not a curriculum you finish. A road you walk with the same men from start to finish.

You put your name down and your wife or significant other knows you did it.

Month 01
Initiation
The journey begins with a challenge. What happens next is something each man must experience for himself.
Month 02
Commissioning
Groups are set, leaders are named, the standard is handed to you in writing.
Months 02–06
Large Groups
Monthly gatherings, teaching, worship, and the whole class in one room.
Month 04
The Offsite
Off the grid. Woods, fire, work, Scripture, and conversations you can't have in a lobby.
Month 06
Graduation
Finished, not fixed. You come back the next year for the man behind you.
Experiences
Marked moments
Offsite
A weekend in the woods. Fire, work, Scripture, and conversation you can’t have in a lobby. Phones in a box.
Graduation
Families in the room. Names read out loud. A patch that means something because it cost something.
Program insignia
Milestones, not merit badges
Each marker records a milestone a man actually reached with his group. They are program insignias — nothing is scored, ranked, or gamified.
