A Carry The Fire cohort for men

My Home. My First Ministry.

Before the platform. Before the pulpit. Before the profession. There is a home.

10 consecutive mornings, then Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for two more weeks.

Next cohort

August 24 – September 2

"But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

Joshua 24:15

The heart behind the cohort

Our culture is filled with distracted men, divided men, and exhausted men. We are building successful careers while quietly struggling at home. This cohort exists to reverse that pattern.

Scripture is clear. A man's first ministry is not public. It is personal. It is not first to the crowds. It is to his wife and children.

The rhythm

What This Journey Looks Like

We begin with 10 consecutive mornings, 5:15 AM to 7:00 AM Central Time on Zoom. Each morning is intentionally structured.

5:15 AM to 6:00 AM

Large Group Teaching

Approximately 50 to 75 men gather online to receive focused, Scripture centered teaching. This is a time of intentional instruction, reflection, engagement, and response. Men are invited to lean in, ask questions, examine their hearts, and respond in real time to what the Spirit is highlighting.

These mornings are clear, direct, and formative, calling men into deeper intimacy, repentance, courage, and clarity.

6:00 AM to 7:00 AM

Small Group Brotherhood

After the teaching, men move into smaller breakout groups where transformation deepens. In these trusted circles, we:

  • Process what the Lord is highlighting
  • Speak honestly about where we feel broken
  • Practice living in confessional community
  • Pray for one another
  • Encourage daily obedience
  • Learn to live known instead of hidden

Why 5:15 AM?

Because wholehearted living does not happen accidentally. These early mornings are an act of surrender. A declaration that God receives our first attention. We gather before the noise of the day shapes us.

We come sleepy, honest, and hungry. And something powerful happens when men begin their day together with intentional focus and shared pursuit.

This is not surface level accountability. This is heart level formation.

After the 10 days

After the initial 10 day intensive, we continue for two more weeks, meeting Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. The same rhythm remains: focused teaching, then small group breakout conversations for processing, prayer, and confessional community. Then the cohort ends.

What begins in the first 10 days does not fade. It deepens. This continued rhythm strengthens what God ignites, shaping you into a steady, wholehearted presence in your home.

Who this is for

  • Men who want to be vulnerable
  • Men who desire to live wholehearted
  • Men who take seriously and intentionally the call to love God and their family with all of their heart
  • Men who feel the tension between calling and consistency

This is not for men looking for information only. It is for men ready to practice obedience. You do not need to have it together. You simply need to be willing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I miss a morning?

That is okay. We are looking for consistency, not perfection. Life happens. What matters most is your intentional commitment to grow.

Is this only for married men?

No. While we will focus on being a husband and father, we will also focus intensely on being a lover of God. If you are not married yet, this may be beautiful preparation for a future that God has prepared for you.

Is there a cost?

There is no designated cost. At the end of the cohort, we ask you to consider sowing in a generous financial gift of your own choosing.

Do I need prior discipleship experience?

No. This is for anyone anywhere who simply longs to be in community with people who love God, want to grow in intimacy with Him, and want to intentionally grow as spiritual leaders within their homes.

The season to strengthen your home is now.

This is an opportunity to realign your heart, your leadership, and your daily rhythms around what matters most. Your family will feel the difference when you choose to grow.
