The Strength to be Whole
What does it mean to be a man?
Most of us were taught a narrow definition of masculinity—one that demands toughness, control, and never showing weakness. We learned to bury emotions, avoid asking for help, and measure our worth by success, wealth, or power.
But this version of masculinity isn’t working.
Too many men feel isolated, disconnected, and unsure how to build meaningful relationships.
The pressure to always “man up” contributes to poor mental health, loneliness, failed marriages, and even violence. We see the effects everywhere—high rates of depression, fatherless homes, gender-based violence, and communities longing for real connection.
There’s a better way.
True strength isn’t about shutting down—it’s about showing up. It’s about connection, vulnerability, and the courage to grow. It’s about becoming whole—not just for ourselves, but for our families, our communities, and the next generation.
That’s why we created Champions of Healthy Manhood—a movement dedicated to reshaping what it means to be a man. Through workshops, leadership training, and community gatherings, we help men grow, connect, and lead with authenticity.
OUR PROGRAMS
Faith & Masculinity: A 3-Week Church Workshop
Many churches discuss masculinity, but often reinforce outdated ideas about control, emotional suppression, and rigid gender roles. This workshop invites men to explore masculinity through faith, love, and a deeper connection to their values.
CATAPULT: College Workshops
College is a time of growth and self-discovery, yet many young men receive little guidance on healthy masculinity. CATAPULT equips them to lead, build respectful relationships, and create safer, healthier campus cultures.
Champions of Healthy Manhood: Monthly Gatherings
Healthy manhood isn’t just an idea—it’s a lifestyle. Our monthly gatherings foster deep friendships, support men’s well-being, and help them become true allies to women. Champions also lead workshops, making this a powerful leadership opportunity for those ready to create change.
