"Man Up: God’s Blueprint for Manhood" is a powerful 4-week series designed to challenge, equip, and inspire men to rise into their God-given identity.
Each session digs deep into biblical manhood, moving beyond cultural clichés of strength and status, and calls men to live with purpose, purity, and legacy. Whether you're leading a group behind bars, in a church, or in your community, Man Up offers practical truths, engaging discussion, and spiritual direction to help men grow in maturity, responsibility, and faith.
All classes, workshops, and seminars include student materials, guides, handouts, lesson outlines, ongoing email support, and are tailored for men’s and women’s groups, churches, reentry events, staff development, or volunteer training.
