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!

MI7: You Can't Climb Alone: Every Man Needs a Guide

September 1–October 13, 2026

Every man is climbing something—a demanding career, the pressures of leadership, the challenges of fatherhood, struggles in a marriage, or the uncertainties of the future. Many of us have been taught that strength means making the climb alone. But the greatest adventures and hardest summits require a trusted guide. 

In MI7, we will journey through Psalm 23 using David Gibson's The Lord of Psalm 23. You may know Psalm 23, but you may never have seen it as a blueprint for courage, leadership, endurance, and faithful living. Often reserved for funerals or difficult seasons, Psalm 23 is actually a guide for everyday life.

Together, we will discover the Lord who is our Shepherd, our Companion, and our Host—the One who leads us when the path is unclear, walks with us through dark valleys, and brings us safely home. Join other men as we learn that real strength is not found in self-reliance, but in following the Shepherd who never loses His way and never abandons His own.

We will meet in the Youth Lounge on Tuesdays at 6:00am. The registration fee ($45 per seven-week session) includes a notebook with everything you will need.
