A small circle of men. Weekly. Honest.
For the long haul.
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.
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.
A short video walkthrough of a FORGE group session — what the room feels like, how the conversation moves, what men experience over time.
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 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.
The man who invited you knows this room.
He knows you.
He's the right person to ask.
