Weekly 1:1 mentorship. Weekly brotherhood. Led by Brendan, an Orthodox Christian. $75 a week.
This is a men's accountability group built around a weekly private call with Brendan, who is Orthodox, plus a weekly group of men pursuing the same discipline and formation. It's not exclusively for Orthodox men, but it's led by one, and that shapes everything about how it runs: the seriousness, the structure, the refusal to treat the spiritual life as optional.
Most accountability programs are generic. This one isn't run by someone guessing at what disciplined faith and masculine formation look like. It's led by a man living it.
This isn't only about your spiritual life, though that's foundational to everything else. It's a full personal growth environment for men who want to become better husbands, fathers, leaders, and men, with the Orthodox faith as the foundation underneath it. Each week you get a 1:1 call to work through what's actually in front of you: prayer and fasting discipline, yes, but also your marriage, your fatherhood, your leadership at work and at home, and the habits quietly running your life. Then a group session where other men hold you to what you said you'd do. The group welcomes Christian men from any tradition who respect a serious, faith-formed approach to masculinity, but Orthodox men in particular tend to find the emphasis on discipline and formation immediately familiar.
Orthodox men who want their spiritual discipline to actually shape their whole life, not just Sunday: their marriage, their fatherhood, and how they lead at home and at work. Men who understand that ascesis isn't a Lenten concept you pick up and put down, it's a posture toward the whole of life, and who want brothers who hold that same posture instead of having to explain it every time.
Also for single Orthodox men trying to put the pieces together: build real direction, become the kind of man ready for marriage, and eventually find a wife who shares that same seriousness of faith. And for non-Orthodox Christian men who want the seriousness and structure this tradition brings to formation, even if the specific practices differ.
A spiritual father can guide your soul. He generally can't call you weekly to ask if you followed through on the practical commitment you made about your marriage, your temper, or your habits. A therapist can help you process. He's not going to hold you to a rule of life.
$75 a week gets you both layers: a mentor who checks in on the specifics, and a group of men who know exactly what you committed to and will ask. That combination is hard to find anywhere, let alone at the cost of a single counseling session every couple weeks.
Ask any man who's tried to keep a rule of life entirely on his own: intention fades fast without someone checking in. A 1:1 call alone still leaves the whole week between sessions unaccounted for. A group alone can turn into fellowship without formation.
Together, the call gives you the specific target for the week, whatever area of your life it touches. The group makes backing off from it a visible, uncomfortable thing, not a private failure nobody notices.
No. It's led by an Orthodox Christian and shaped by that tradition's seriousness about discipline and formation, but it welcomes Christian men from other traditions who respect that approach.
All of it. Spiritual discipline is the foundation, but the work covers your whole life: your marriage, your fatherhood, how you lead at work and at home. Faith shapes how we approach it, but it isn't the only thing we work on.
Most don't. This exists specifically to give Orthodox men outside major Orthodox centers, or without a strong local brotherhood, the accountability and mentorship that's harder to find in a small or geographically scattered parish community.
Yes. A number of men have used this exact structure, the weekly call plus the group, to get their life in order and eventually find and marry a wife who shares their faith. The work is the same whether you're married or single: become the man first.
No. This works alongside your relationship with your priest or spiritual father, focused on the practical, day-to-day accountability that most parish life doesn't have the structure to provide weekly.
Yes, but only where it's relevant to what a man brings to his call or the group. This isn't a catechism class, it's accountability for the life you're already trying to live.
