Men's Intensive

What is Men’s Intensive?

It’s basically a seven-week commitment to pre-read material, where you show up Tuesdays at 6:00am and discuss an agreed-upon topic with seven other men around a table. Weekly, we’ll consider a topic from an article, our lived experiences, and wisdom from the Bible.

What to Expect

Expect a lively environment, engaging conversations, and a commitment with an actual expiration date! A typical morning is shown below.

6:00–6:05am: Opening Prayer and Announcements
6:05–6:15am: Table Check-in Time (1 minute-ish for each man)
6:15–6:35am: Introducing/Teaching the Topic
6:35–7:25am: Organized Table Discussions
7:25–7:30am: Closing Remarks

WHY Men's Intensive?

Have any interest in taking a short-term risk to step out of isolation and into a community of men seeking to push each other in the right direction? Men's Intensive is an opportunity to experience new friendships, good conversations, and potential for personal and spiritual growth! Plus, it's only seven early mornings out of the year!
