Men of Peace Cohort
“Mark the blameless and behold the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace. (Psalm 37:37 ESV)
If you’re honest, you already know something is wrong.
Maybe it’s your anger. Your intimidation. The way you shut her down, corner conversations, or punish with silence. Maybe you’ve blamed stress, your past, her reactions, or “mutual toxicity.” But deep down you know: your choices have caused harm.
And you’re tired of cycling through regret, promises, and damage control.
You need more than information. You need a path—paired with accountability.
Men of Peace is a structured, gospel-centered cohort for men who are ready to take full responsibility and learn a new way of living.
Important eligibility notes
Who is this for?
Men of Peace is for you if you can say:
“I have used abusive, controlling, intimidating, or destructive behaviors.”
“I’m done defending, minimizing, or blaming.”
“I want to repent—not just feel bad.”
“I’m willing to be coached, confronted, and held accountable.”
“I want to become a man who brings safety and steadiness to my home.”
This cohort is designed for men who want real change, not a religious cover for continued harm.
What we mean by “peace”?
Peace is not passivity. It’s not avoidance. It’s not “keeping the lid on.”
It’s not behavior change.
Biblical peace is strength under control—the kind of strength that builds up, protects, listens, tells the truth, and refuses domination. Jesus is not harsh, unsafe, or manipulative—and He does not disciple men into those patterns.
Men of Peace is about learning to live like Christ in the places you’ve been most dangerous: blame, entitlement, conflict, disappointment, fear, shame, and desire for control.
Peace is fruit of the Spirit that comes from gospel-centred heart change.
The Journey
What the cohort includes
A structured, accountability-based experience, led by trained facilitators, that typically includes:
Weekly live group sessions (14 weeks online)
A clear weekly workbook rhythm (reflection + life application)
Group Accountability check-ins
Practical assignments (Videos and Workbook)
Direct feedback, loving confrontation, and coaching
A focus on nonviolent, respectful, Christlike relating
This is not therapy. It is a structured coaching + discipleship cohort with firm accountability.
Men of Peace may not be appropriate if you are currently:
in active crisis requiring emergency intervention
seeking a program to “prove” change while continuing harm
unwilling to accept full responsibility for abusive behavior
not fully connected with your local church, since accountability is vital
If you are under a protective order, facing criminal charges, or have engaged in physical violence, you may be required (or strongly encouraged) to enroll in a state (BIPP)/provincially accredited batterer intervention (PAR) program in your area. Men of Peace is not a replacement for court-mandated programming.
A word about safety and your spouse
If you have a spouse/significant other, we care about her safety and support.
In many Men of Peace contexts, there is an optional support/advocacy space available for spouses/significant others so they can receive:
program clarity
education about abuse dynamics
support that does not depend on your version of events
Participation is optional for her. We do not pressure or recruit spouses. We take safety seriously.
What you’ll get out of this (if you do the work)
Men who engage fully often see:
reduced escalation and intimidation
increased honesty and ownership
better emotional control under stress
humility that rejects entitlement
a clearer conscience before God
changed patterns that others can actually feel and see
This is not quick-fix change. It is real repentance—proven over time.

FAQs
“What if my relationship is already separated or ending?”
You can still participate. This cohort is about your repentance and integrity, regardless of your current relationship status.
“Is this marriage counseling?”
No. This is a men’s accountability + training cohort focused on abusive/destructive patterns. Couples work requires a different process and is not automatically appropriate when abuse has been present.
“What if I feel ashamed reading this?”
Shame can either push you into hiding—or lead you to repentance. We are not interested in crushing you. We are interested in telling the truth and helping you change.
