We've started something local to Spokane area, by invite only, a brotherhood. A gathering for encouragement and discussions of faith for Christ centered men. It also serves as a continuation training outlet for defensive skills.
I've included the flier for more info as well, I'll be posting content from the group as well as resources from discussion. All members who attended are encouraged to use this, (Post in new "Development Group" category) as a way to share encouragement, gear or anything that the Lord leads you to.
For those in the area that haven't made it, but want to, just DM me. We keep time/location specifics to a Signal group chat. This is by invitation only but costs nothing besides your valuable time.
I also wanted to showcase what we're doing in our local area in case others outside of our area are interested in starting a group with similar mission statement, this thread serves as an example of what could be done.
Our mission statement is: "Development Group is an invite only, brotherhood of Christian men committed to spiritual growth and mutual accountability. Our Mission: As iron sharpens iron, we challenge and encourage one another to walk boldly with the lord and embrace our calling as men, brothers, husbands, fathers and especially as protectors.”
