We Are Facing a Crisis of Masculinity
Society's need for initiated men has never been more profound.
We have lost the ancient tradition of providing formal structure and process... an initiation... that effectively moves human males from insecure, impulsive boys to adult men who have come to know their place in the world.
And this loss has been devastating.
Almost all ritual processes for initiating boys into manhood have been abandoned in the West, and, as a result, we have more adolescent boys posing in adult bodies than ever before.
True Blue Tribe seeks to reverse this trend by providing safe spaces where these important ritual processes of initiation can be fostered, understood, and passed on to other men.
We hope that you will join us.

Mastering the 4 Mountains
We strive to constantly grow and develop in 4 critical areas... heart, body, mind, & spirit. We refer to these as simply 'the 4 mountains'.
We believe that growth is a lifelong journey and we are committed to helping men achieve their full potential in all areas of their lives... heart, body, mind, and spirit. Whether you are just starting your growth journey or looking to take the next right step, we are here to surround you with the support and help you need. Join the Tribe today and start growing into the man you were created to be.
Being fully human and fully alive means that we allow ourselves to feel the full range of emotions. The work of growing our emotional intelligence takes courage and commitment and is well worth the effort.
Our bodies are a gift from God, and it's our responsibility to take care of them so that we can live healthy, fulfilling lives and serve Him to the best of our abilities. Our physical capacity is vitally important.
Expanding our mental capacity is not only beneficial for personal growth and development, but it also enables us to better serve others and make a positive impact in the world around us.
It requires intentionality to die daily to our natural desires and to live free... fully yielded to the work God is doing in and through us. We can let go of our striving and lean into the good story that God is writing.
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Men Make Men
A man's character is called out of him by other men. Men Make Men is where that happens out loud: long conversations about initiation, failure, faith and the men who made us.
Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.

Growth doesn't happen on the mountaintop. It happens down in the holler, the long stretch between peaks where the real work gets done. The Holler is a free letter for the men in it: one thing for the heart, body, mind and spirit, plus the newest episode of Men Make Men.
