No, you can't go through the program alone, but you can sign up solo and get placed in a group if needed. One of the requirements of the Man Year program is that you sign a 2-page covenant not only committing to completing the program but also committing to the brothers that you've signed up to do Man Year with. You need at least 1 other brother in your 'core group' to begin the program. However, we've created an online (virtual) option for those that need a group. Just select "virtual group" at registration and you'll be automatically placed in a core group so you can begin the journey.
WHAT IS MAN YEAR?
A one year transformational challenge based program, with 4 twelve week sprints surrounding the core domains of life–spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional–that you do with brothers of your choosing in your community.
HERE’S THE PROBLEM
MOST MEN AREN’T:
LET’S CHANGE THAT
What if we dedicate ourselves to a one year sprint in covenantal community with 1 or more other brothers to be transformed in a way we’ve only longed for but never seen? It is possible.
WHAT IF 52 WEEKS COULD CHANGE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE?
BE AWARE, MAN YEAR IS NOT FOR EVERYONE, ITS A COVENANTAL COMMUNITY - NOT A LOOSE COMMITMENT
YOU CAN’T SIGNUP WITHOUT:
01
Signing up with at least 1 brother to do this with. However, a group of 20-25 men is ideal. The software will boot you out if you don’t create your ‘core team’ within 14 days of signing up.
02
Signing a 1 page covenant committing yourself to this particular path, the brothers locally and globally you will be doing this with, and a commitment to be a man of your word and do what you’ve said you would do. The covenant will include things like a commitment to being together in person with your ‘core brothers’ at least once per month, a commitment to host a man year group for AT LEAST 3 new brothers next year, but 20-25 brothers would be even better!
WHAT YOU GET OR WHATS INCLUDED
Weekly guided homework and transformation path tied to that particular 12 week challenge.
HERES HOW IT WORKS
You are signing up for a covenantal communal challenge based year. You will be accountable to your core brothers you sign up with, alongside the global community in our private community dashboard. At the beginning of each 12 weeks you will choose one challenge, from 5 different options to fulfill that 12 week sprint. The challenges you can pick from are directly tied to the homework and the core of that concept (for example one challenge you can pick from the mental challenge is to memorize one epistle in 12 weeks. Also, don’t be scared–one guy in our previous program went above and beyond and memorized 7 in 10 weeks).
WHY YOU NEED MAN YEAR
Most men know they have a deficit in their life. They feel the gaps in their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual lives–but they haven’t closed the gap or shown much change over the years of their life. And they want to change but there’s no path or program. THey have no outlet for transformation. You can sit in church for ten years, sit in 15 bible studies, and listen to as many podcasts as you want. And you stay the same. Why is that?
Here’s the cold hard truth. Without the content, and without the community, almost every single man will have high aspirations but fall short of almost all of them.
