Session Breakdowns: Iron Sharpens Iron
Session 1: God’s Original Design – Built for More

Before the world told you who to be, God had already defined your purpose. In Genesis, we see that men were created to rule, cultivate, and protect. But modern culture has diluted what it means to be a man of God. This session takes you back to the blueprint—your God-given identity. We’ll explore what it means to walk in dominion, lead with integrity, and stand firm in the face of compromise. Forget the noise. It’s time to reclaim the original design.

Session 2: Armor Up – Recognizing the Attacks
This is war. The enemy isn’t playing games, and neither should you. Ephesians 6 tells us to put on the full armor of God, but too many men are walking around spiritually unarmed. In this session, we break down the real battlefield—your mind, your marriage, your habits. We’ll expose the enemy’s tactics, from temptation to distraction to identity crises, and give you the weapons to fight back. The fight is real, but so is your authority.

Session 3: Beyond the Mask – Authentic Connections
Too many men live behind a mask—acting like they’ve got it all together while struggling in silence. Jesus never called us to fight alone. “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17). This session is about tearing down walls, building brotherhood, and having the courage to be real. You don’t need to be perfect, you just need to be present.

Session 4: Heart Check – Cultivating Emotional & Mental Well-Being
Strong men know how to fight. Stronger men know when to heal. The toughest warriors in the Bible—David, Elijah, Paul—faced deep emotional battles. Jesus himself wept. This session isn’t about suppressing emotions; it’s about mastering them. We’ll talk about breaking generational curses, overcoming anxiety, and leading from a place of wholeness. It’s time to check your heart and get right with God.
Session 5: Leading with Love – Servant Leadership
Greatness isn’t about power. It’s about service. Jesus led by washing feet, by laying down His life. Real men lead through love—whether it’s in their marriage, their job, or their community. This session is about stepping up, not for status, but for impact. We’ll talk about what it means to serve sacrificially and lead with humility while staying unshaken in your mission.

Session 6: Succession & Legacy – More Than a Moment

You weren’t built just to survive this life—you were built to leave a legacy. What are you passing down? What story will your life tell when you’re gone? Deuteronomy 6:6-7 commands us to teach the next generation, to pass on wisdom, to build something that outlives us. This final session is about stepping into that reality—becoming men who don’t just live for the now, but for eternity.

Are You Ready to Be Forged?

This isn’t just another event. It’s a call to arms. A call to become the man God designed you to be. A call to stop playing small and start walking in your purpose. The fire is here—are you ready to be FORGED?
