Do you know God's blueprint for man?
What He had in mind creating Adam?
No?
I didn't either and … started a men's group to find out.
You’ve attended men’s breakfasts,
church groups,
conferences.
Read a book or two about real men,
listened to podcasts…
but nothing changes.
You’re still alone. Alone with yourself
and the question, who is this man in me?
-------
The problem?
You have information without transformation.
At some point, every man has to face himself to discover
what he’s made of and made for.
---------------------
Otherwise, he tends to drift through life far below his potential.
Men's Forge
makes theory intensely practical.
Many men take pride in being strong and tough, but raw strength can turn dangerous or lay idle if not regularly reshaped through God’s refining fire.
A forge transforms raw metal into something useful through fire and skill. The blacksmith selects a rusty piece, envisions its potential, lays it in the fire, and hammers it into a valuable tool. No longer rusting, it becomes part of something greater.
Today, more than ever, we need men clear about their identity and responsibilities, unafraid to be transformed by the refiner’s fire, courageous to face life’s challenges. A man clear about who he is and his calling knows where he’s going and lives with purpose, confident to step into his God-given potential.
I’ve attended different men’s conferences, but only in the Men's Forge did I find
the opportunity to open my heart to other men in a trusting conversation.

I’m Dave.
Like you, I was searching for the real man.
Is he the successful businessman, fitness guru, military man, hero???
With a group of fellow seekers, we studied the creation of Adam and began to understand God’s Master Plan for man.
A life changer. I’ve been organizing, teaching and leading men’s ministries across three continents ever since.
Challenging guys to get off their screens and couch and step out across frozen lakes, snowy mountains, and long-distance trails.
When you face your Maker, yourself, the elements, and adversities, you start tapping into powers that forge your character, allowing God to reveal more of your potential.
Character is like a teabag, you don't know what's inside
until it's steeped in hot water.
Do you see the need…
…for an environment where men can connect with each other on a deeper level, share struggles, ask questions, and get input?
Thinking of starting a men’s group?
You’ve probably gone to men’s conferences and breakfasts and read books on the subject… but you’re still struggling. And you know others in the same boat, rowing with the rope still tied to shore. Do you want to cut free and go deep to understand this man in you and what God had in mind creating him? And discover these with a group of guys wanting the same?
Then what’s holding you back from making that step, cutting the rope, starting the group?
– Fear of failure? Of exposing inner secrets?
– No idea how and with whom to start?
– You did try, but the group fizzled out.
I’ve been there and know the struggle.
A revelation that dramatically transformed how I face fear, doubt, and struggle is the biblical principle that vision and opposition go hand in hand. This applied to Moses, King David, Nehemiah, and many others… also to us today. God gives the vision and allows opposition. Both from God. Vision moves us forward, while opposition creates dependence on God, putting Him in the driver’s seat.
I wish I’d known this truth when I started my first men’s group.
I wish I’d had someone come alongside giving guidance, direction, and encouragement, a mentor I could reach out to with my questions and be accountable to with my struggles.
Those who try many things make many mistakes.
Those who try nothing make the biggest mistake.
Your next steps:
Once you see the need of starting a small men’s group, submit an Email, why you want to start the group or questions you might have.
After the 30 minute call and approval into the course, commit to one-hour Zoom meetings every other week for three months.
Lead in the face of opposition with the grit to continue through setbacks.
My part for you:
I assist men wanting to get their own men’s ministry off the ground but aren’t sure how.
Come alongside and help you achieve your God-given vision through one-hour Zoom coaching every other week for three months.

steps will best meet the needs of your group

You’ll also:
– step UP in your masculinity and calling
– discover God-given potential that lies dormant
– get practice being real and transparent
– overcome the fear of your own success
– give up some to gain much
– get to know other men on the same journey
– lead others the distance you’ve already gone
