Calling Men to Walk
with God & One Another
The paradigm shift has begun
Training men in spiritual habits that cultivate maturity.
Connecting men in small groups for encouragement and support.
Equipping men through a clear, reproducible path to follow Jesus.
This paradigm shift is an invitation.
To move beyond teaching and into training.
Beyond ministry as performance and into ministry as relationship.
Beyond knowledge alone and into obedience that transforms.
The Paradigm Shift
We need to rethink ministry and discipleship. Away from programs and curriculum to transformation habits.
Covenant Groups create highly relational environments where men cultivate two essential practices every man needs:
First - walking daily with God in His Word—learning to listen, reflect, and respond to Him.
Second - walking deeply with other men—pursuing spiritual maturity through shared honesty, accountability, and brotherly love.
When these two habits take root, something powerful happens. Men grow strong. Faith deepens. Character forms. The world doesn’t need more content for men—it needs more transformed men. And transformation begins with covenant friendships.

Experienced disciple-makers know spiritual growth is best nurtured in the context of secure relationships—both with King Jesus and with other men. Just as Jonathan and David made a covenant to affirm their friendship and commitment to one another (1 Samuel 18), we need covenant friendships to grow spiritually.

"The pathway to maturity was never meant as a solo journey. Godly manhood is a team adventure. It's friends bonded together who encourage, affirm, and call out the best in one another. Having soul mates like this is one of life's greatest gifts"
— Dr. Robert Lewis
"True Community demands proximity, but it's not just proximity. True community requires commitment and honesty. It's a willingness to know and be known. Covenant Groups form the basis of what every man needs: true community."
Dr. Chris Harper — Chief Storyteller & CEO, BetterMan
"The pursuit of authentic manhood is first and foremost, a team sport. Together is always better...especially when we commit to seek Jesus and speak God's truth into one another's lives. The Covenant Group Discipleship Series has a PROVEN track record of helping men grow deep with God and with one another. I highly recommend it!”
Dr Robert Lewis — Pastor, Author, Founder--Men's Fraternity, BetterMan
"The Covenant Group Discipleship Series is a proven approach for equipping men to walk with God and other men, then equip others to do the same. Apprenticeship to Jesus is not a program but a deeply personal and passionate pursuit of knowing, reflecting and sharing Christ.”
