FORGE Groups

This is what you've
been invited into.

A small circle of men. Weekly. Honest.
For the long haul.

What It Is

Not a Bible study. Not a program.

A FORGE group is a small circle of men — usually between five and ten — who meet weekly in the same place, at the same time, every week. That consistency is not incidental. It's the whole point.

Most men spend their lives performing. At work. At home. Even at church. A FORGE group is a room where that stops. Men come as they actually are — not the version they show the world — and talk honestly about what's actually happening in their lives.

Faith. Family. Work. The things you're carrying that most people around you don't know about.

Over time, the men in that room become the people who know you best. Not because they went through a program together — because they told the truth in the same room, week after week, and showed up for each other anyway.

What Happens

75 minutes. Every week. Same structure.

The meeting runs the same way every week. That predictability isn't rigid — it creates safety. Men know what's coming, so they can show up prepared to be honest rather than guarded.

15 min
Arrive
Men arrive, get coffee, talk. No agenda yet. The group settles naturally.
10 min
Prayer
Someone opens in prayer. Not always the same person. The group takes ownership.
10 min
Check-In
One question. Every man answers it honestly. No passing. The leader goes first — always.
30 min
The Discussion
A topic or passage applied to real life — not studied as information, but examined against the week you actually lived. The group does most of the talking.
10 min
Land It
Every man says what landed for him personally. Then every man names one thing he will do before next week. Both are said out loud, in front of the group. No vague intentions.

What a FORGE group looks like in practice.

What It Asks

Weekly. 75 minutes. Long term.

A FORGE group is not a drop-in. The same men show up every week — that's what makes it work. When you know these men will be in the room next Tuesday, you think differently about what you said you'd do this week.

The commitment is simple: same time, same place, every week. 75 minutes. You don't need to have your life figured out. You don't need to be spiritually polished. You just need to show up and be honest.

Most men who join a FORGE group say the same thing after a few months — that it became the most important hour of their week. Not because it was easy. Because it was real.

FORGE Groups vs. IGNITE — Know the Difference

FORGE groups are invite-only. You don't sign up for one — a man who knows you personally invites you in. If you're reading this, someone did that for you.

IGNITE is different. It's a free 12-week training on Zoom for Christian men who want to start their own FORGE group. If you want to lead one rather than join one, that's where you begin.
