making this vision a reality:

[1] PRECISION TOOLS

The timeless principles of biblical manhood in the six volumes of 33 THE SERIES have impacted about a million men around the world, but there are millions more who have yet to be reached. In America alone, there are 115 million men ages 18 and up. That’s a big target, and we need the right tools and the right strategy to hit it.

Our objective is not to get men to go through the curriculum but to help them process their manhood with other men—like iron sharpening iron as one man sharpens another. 33 THE SERIES provides PRECISION TOOLS to help men discover and experience the life-giving Spirit of Jesus.

[2] A SIMPLE STRATEGY

The right CONTENT experienced in the right CONTEXT can change everything. We will work with local leaders around the world to launch gatherings in their cities where men can engage in CONVERSATIONS about real manhood. This is new territory for a lot of men. Many will put their faith in Jesus, and many more will come alive to the call to be a disciple-maker. Our objective is to help men make CONNECTIONS in character-shaping relationships and authentic community where there is no condemnation but lots of accountability.

Moving men onto a pathway of biblical manhood is the goal. Our strategy will huddle men up in large seasonal gatherings that will become a launching point for smaller accountability groups, mobilizing them to make a difference in their churches and communities while connecting them to local and global ministries.

THE DETAILS:

[1] PARTNER WITH CHURCHES AND BUSINESSES TO LAUNCH PUBLIC SEASONAL GATHERINGS. Many of these will be in non-church environments like warehouses, gyms, community centers, etc. to introduce men to Authentic Manhood using the six volumes of 33 THE SERIES.

[2] CREATE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS targeting ALL MEN, not just church men.

[3] DECENTRALIZE THE MOVEMENT. Equip men to host small groups around their city in between the seasonal gatherings. Imagine a dozen or more medium to large seasonal gatherings that would feed into hundreds of small groups around the city.

[4] DEVELOP PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL & GLOBAL GOSPEL-CENTERED MINISTRIES. Create clear pathways for men to engage in organizations that are making a difference in their community and around the world.

[5] DEVELOP PARTNERSHIPS WITH PRISON MINISTRIES AND RECOVERY CENTERS TO COACH, EQUIP & RESOURCE.

  • SHARE BEST PRACTICES & TRAINING to maximize their effectiveness. 33 THE SERIES is already being used effectively in prisons and recovery centers around the country.

  • PROVIDE TRAINING GUIDES. Video Bundles and PDFs of the Training Guide outlines are already available at no charge for prison ministries and recovery centers. (CONTACT TIERCE for info about free resources for special groups.) However, the experience is elevated when inmates have the complete Training Guides with all of the supplemental articles, bibliographies, and scriptures. We want to raise funding to buy Training Guides and give them to these prison ministry partnerships.

  • CAPTURE STORIES of life-change from inmates and their families.

Leader Training / 33 – What It Is and How To Use It

I devote a lot of time to coaching leaders, and much of what we talk about is in these four videos, where I provide an overview of the content with some proven practices for the best experience. These videos are also in the 33 The Series channel on the Good Feed Media App, along with trailers of all six volumes, excerpts and stories from the sessions, and other related content. Use Good Feed Media to promote your 33 gatherings. All of the media items can be easily shared from within the App.

IDENTIFY YOUR GROUP

Men need a safe place where they know someone understands them and they are not alone. This is the primary objective of the Authentic Manhood Initiative, not to get men to go through curriculum, but to create environments where they can experience substantive conversations that could lead to genuine community and life-changing accountability. Identifying your group can help more men find what they need.

There are hundreds of Authentic Manhood Gatherings using 33 The Series and meeting in various venues around the world. Here are some ideas for your group.

  • PRIVATE GROUP – A small group of men who have built a level of trust, transparency, and vulnerability. For these reasons, private groups are unlisted. These groups are typically open to others by personal invitation only.

  • CHURCH-HOSTED PUBLIC GROUP – Small, medium, or large groups that are organized by a local church. These groups typically meet on a church campus or in the homes of church attenders. They are typically open to the public, not just church attenders.

  • NON-CHURCH PUBLIC GROUP – Small, medium, or large groups that are initiated and hosted by individuals, businesses, and organizations outside of the church. Our objective is to help launch more of these groups in order to reach all men, not just church men. Venues include coffee shops, community centers, gyms, cigar shops, restaurants, breweries, and more.
