Establishing the identity of men.

Your journey as a man was never meant to be shrouded in uncertainty. We believe that just like a master blacksmith forges metal with skill and precision, God has intentionally created you in His own image with a clear and profound purpose.

It's time to rise above any doubts and fully embrace the immense potential that lies within you. Don't let anyone or anything diminish your worth or purpose. Instead, embark on a remarkable journey of self-discovery, refinement, and the pursuit of greatness that you were destined for.

Embrace your God-given potential and embark on a journey of becoming the extraordinary man you were meant to be.

IN SOCIETY’S DISTORTED MESSAGE ON MASCULINITY, THE TRUE ESSENCE OF MANHOOD HAS BEEN MISGUIDED AND LOST.

There is an epidemic of the identity crisis of men in our society, leading to pervasive fatherlessness.

  • Fatherlessness can lead to emotional absence even when fathers are physically present.

  • Consequences of fatherlessness include anxiety, depression, poverty, and insecurity.

  • 72.2% of the population sees this as a major social problem.

  • 24.7 million children, or 33% of the population, live without their biological fathers.

  • Over 20 million children lack a father figure at home.

  • 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes.

  • 90% of homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes.

Forged Men is on a mission to change that…

As Forged Men, we understand that our purpose goes beyond the ordinary. It is a spiritual and transformative journey that holds the power to combat darkness and make a lasting impact on our relationships. We believe that being fully present in these relationships is not just important, but also serves as a powerful force against adversity.

Our calling as men is not merely about fulfilling duties; it is about embracing a sacred journey imbued with meaning and significance. Armed with the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit, our presence and commitment in the lives of those around us act as a formidable weapon against the enemy.

But this is more than just a role we play; it is a path of a warrior in the spiritual realm. Every step we take in alignment with God's plan not only liberates ourselves but also brings freedom and transformation to those we come in contact with. Each act of intentionality and steadfastness has the potential to reshape the world and fulfill the purpose and calling of our lives.
