Being a part of The Redeemed became so much more than just attending a group—it became a reminder of God’s design for community. It strengthened my walk with Christ, and I’m grateful for the men who were there with me. It was a great experience, and I look forward to continuing this journey together outside of our group.

I knew about Christ at a young age, but I walked away from my faith and started taking pills to escape all my pain. It didn’t take long for me to realize that if I took more than what the doctor prescribed, it felt good and let me escape even more from the hurt I was going through. The older I got, the more I needed an escape. I don’t even remember my first wedding because I was so high. My addiction continued to grow until I was using heroin, coke, and pills all at once. Then I got addicted to fentanyl and lost my second marriage. Finally, God met me at a faith-based rehab center. Today I’m 3-years clean, sober, and married to a wonderful woman. My relationship with God is the closest it has ever been. I even have my minister’s license. It feels like I found the greatest life you could ever imagine. God didn’t allow me to die when I was using drugs. He has a plan for our lives and it’s greater than our own.

Maybe you’ve been there — full calendar, empty soul. You’re surrounded by people at work, church, and home, yet you feel isolated and perhaps even unknown. As men, we’re quick to exchange handshakes and conversation about our interests and hobbies, but when it comes to building soul-level connections, many of us keep our distance. It feels too risky, so we settle for shallow — and we suffer for it. But God’s vision for masculine friendship calls us to go deeper. It’s not just about company; it’s about commitment. It’s not just about hanging out, but helping one another become more like Christ. Scripture gives us a picture of brotherhood where men sharpen each other, speak truth in love, stand firm through hardship, and refuse to let one another drift.
