FORGED

adjective

Welcome to Forged - an Active military, Veteran, or First-Responder only Men's event:

Do you feel like there is something more? Do you miss the fight? The comradery? Feel lost, without a passion or plan for your life?

As men we have been forged throughout our life by our up-bringing, jobs, trauma, and the circumstances that we have faced. Through the forge of life's battles, we have taken a beating and barely resemble our intended design. It is time for us to return to the forge, but this time, to be FORGED with an intense focus on what we were supposed to be all along.

The answer you are looking for is FORGED in a deeper encounter with our Creator as you step into what you are destined to be!

FORGED is going to be a POWERFUL time just for Veteran and First Responder men to:

• STRENGTHEN each other in Comradery and Fellowship with like-minded individuals
• FIND a renewed PASSION and PURPOSE
• LEARN new Tools and Tactics from IMPACTFUL guest speakers.
• EXPERIENCE the FIGHT for FREEDOM in a DEEPER way.
• EMPOWER you to CHANGE THE WORLD!
