Community Coaches
We believe that we grow in Community. These Coaches are here to help you grow closer with a smaller group of brothers (less than 20). Your coach will connect with the group and determine the best meeting time for the group. Each group will connect for accountability and check-ins twice per month (for around 30 minutes each time).
Select the Community Coach that you believe will best help you in your growth over the next 6 months.
