The basic idea behind this website is that if you’re a Godly man then it’s automatic that you’ll be a great husband, dad, friend, employee, employer or any other part of your life. That’s good because trying to read all the books on each area of your life can get very complicated.

That’s why the Playbook is all about simplicity. Figuring out the basics to being a Godly man. What are the characteristics, lifestyles and choices that will lead to success?

You probably won’t read any new material here because that’s not the goal. The goal is to put stuff you already know into a very simple system that provides an easy way for you to assess where you’re succeeding and where you’re failing and then give concrete steps for how to improve.

There’s also real world “how-to’s”. There’s nothing worse than hearing a great talk but not being told how to do it. Hopefully this is an area where you will learn something new and innovative. This is where I came up with organizational framework of “Offense”, “Defense” and “Special Teams”. Here’s what you’ll find in each category:

OFFENSE-This section all about not being passive but attacking the opponent.

DEFENSE- Shutting down the opponent. Some stuff is so destructive in the life of a man, that you can’t mess around with it, you must shut it down.

SPECIAL TEAMS- Sometimes is the small things that make the difference between victory and defeat.

But you don’t become a Godly man in isolation. You need a small group of buddies who are on the same journey. Men who will get in your junk because they want you to succeed. Men who will answer the phone when you call at 3am. Men who want you to win! That’s why the website will never be THE thing, it has to be done in community.

I want to lead groups of men who want to go on this journey. I want to train men who can then lead other men on this journey. In fact, if all you ever do is read this website, you’ll be very disappointed and will give up fairly quickly. But let’s be honest, finding a group of men or even one man for that matter, that you can trust is HARD, so we’re going to use the comment section here and the Facebook fan page to help get this started. Getting started means communicating with other men and that’s what you can do online.  I want you meeting with other men face to face but at least using the web gets you started.

So, you in?
