The situation

Most men were never taught how to be a man.

Left on their own, men borrow manhood from the culture and build it on ego. Knowing what Christlike manhood looks like has never been the hard part. Becoming it is.

01

Knowing isn't doing

You've read the books and heard the sermons. As Dr. Edwin Louis Cole put it, "Change is not change until it is change." That takes practice, not more information.

02

No one leads you through it

Men get advice. Few get a structure, a standard, and someone walking the whole road with them, week after week.

03

Nobody expects much

We do. You need brothers who expect more of you than you expect of yourself.

Another year of knowing and not doing. Marriages that drift. Sons who learn manhood from the culture instead of from their father.

The plan

14 weeks. One objective: from knowledge to practice.

The book gives you knowledge. The workbook builds understanding. The weekly sessions turn it into wisdom. Fourteen weeks of showing up makes it skill. Finishing makes it practice. One session a week, from the week of January 11 through the week of April 12, 2027.

  1. STEP 1

    Accept the mission

    Pay $50. Your Maximized Manhood book and workbook ship to your door.

  2. STEP 2

    Train with your squad

    Each week, read the chapter and work the pages, then meet your brothers on Google Meet. We pray together and hold each other to it. A weekly MISSION briefing keeps you on task.

  3. STEP 3

    Complete the mission

    Finish the workbook, take the final exam, and debrief with your squad the week of April 12.

Every man deserves to be taught.

Every man deserves to be taught how to live in Christlike manhood, so that he can become the man he was made to be.

The standard

We train men to the highest standard in the military, in business, and in sports. How much more should we train men in Christlikeness?

Your facilitator

Seth Webster

I'm a husband, a father, and a man who spent too many years knowing what a Christlike man looks like and too few becoming one. MANHOOD 101 is the structure I wish I'd had: a proven book, a workbook, and brothers who hold the line. I'll be leading every session, and I'll be doing the work right alongside you.

I've been married 26 years. I'm a Majoring in Men Commissioned Man: I completed the entire Majoring in Men curriculum and was commissioned to minister to men.

How we lead
  • Real, not perfect.
  • Without judgment, wherever you're starting.
  • By example: I do the work alongside you.

The curriculum is Maximized Manhood by Dr. Edwin Louis Cole, known as the father of the Christian men's movement. His ministry has transformed the lives of millions of men.

What's in it

The result

What changes.

Become the man you were made to be.

A better man.

Christlike manhood becomes a habit you practice, not an idea you know about.

A better husband and father.

The people closest to you feel the difference.

A habit you can name.

You'll finish able to say what changed, in your own words.

A ripple.

Homes, churches, and communities are better when men live like Christ.

Why we exist

We will help ten thousand men, in five years, practice Christlike manhood because the world is a better place when men live like Christ.

Squad Alpha is the first squad.

"For the creation eagerly waits for the revelation of the sons of God." Romans 8:19
