Part 1 - Making of a man: The journey begins: unpacking Kingdom masculinity and becoming the men Jesus calls us to be. 

The world has plenty to say about what it means to be a man. Some of it shouts, some of it shrugs, and a lot of it leaves us confused, worn out, or pretending we have it all together. At Regular Joes 2027, we’re setting all of that aside to ask a better question: what does Jesus say a man should be? Kingdom masculinity isn’t about being louder, tougher or more impressive. It’s strength under control, courage with compassion, and leadership that serves. We see it in Jesus himself, who washed feet, wept with friends, stood firm against injustice and laid down his life for others. That’s the kind of man we’re aiming to become.

Over one day together, we’ll look honestly at the things that shape us, like our wounds, our habits, our pressures and our pride, and let God’s Word reshape them. Nobody is expected to have arrived. This day is about taking the first step, as ordinary men standing alongside each other and heading home ready to keep walking toward the men Jesus calls us to be. Whether you’ve followed him for decades or you’re just curious about what faith might mean for your life, you’re welcome. Grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and let’s begin.
