Specialized Soul Care — Men & Boys

Restoring Authentic Masculinity

8 Weeks4 Credits4 Modules4 Assessments

Course Overview

Men are in crisis. Addiction, anger, withdrawal, workaholism, sexual brokenness — these are symptoms of a deeper wound that most men cannot name. The broken man rarely asks for help; he builds walls, medicates with substances or achievement, and isolates. This course equips you to reach men where they are, break through the armor, and apply the 6-R model to masculine wounds. You will also learn to minister to teenage boys navigating identity, peer pressure, and the absence of healthy male mentorship.

Course Description
