Bring 33 The Series to your church or men’s group today.
33 The Series is divided into six sessions and is designed for men to go through together in community. This format is part of what makes 33 The Series so effective and encouraging for men. However, there are several different ways you can host or present 33 The Series. You are free to choose whatever works best for your church, organization, or group.
33 The Series was originally designed for weekly group meetings, whether you have men’s small groups in your church or you plan to bring the men in your church together for a large group meeting. No matter the size of the group, in this model, your group would meet weekly, watch one video session per week, and then break out into discussion groups following the video presentation.
This option is perfect for churches or organizations that are pressed for time and want to bring all of the men in your organization together for a unique experience. In this model, you would go through 33 The Series over the course of a weekend as part of a men’s event or conference. You would still show one session at a time and allow 30-45 minutes for small group discussions after each session before showing the next video.
We have completed the first six weeks of 33 The Series. It has been nothing short of AMAZING! I am extremely impressed by how well constructed, crafted, and presented all the material is. From the lessons, to the speakers, to the vignettes, to the music, to the cinematography… it is all top notch.
“We just completed ‘A Man and His Design’ in the 33 the Series at our church. It went very well. I have watched each session three times, and each time I am impressed with the new truths or reminded of important things I need to implement. The content, the graphics, the video clips, the music and the length of the sessions, are all done very well. I am very sold on this and believe men across the country can benefit from these great sessions."
“Just wanted to give an update on our study at City Place Cigars, we are having consistently over 40 guys in attendance… a good mix in age… some unsure of their faith. The feedback has been outstanding. Our discussion times have been very candid and open. I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE A WINNER!”
“I’m extremely excited about 33 The Series because every man needs a roadmap as to what it means to be an authentic man. What is authentic masculinity? 33 The Series tackles that and gives us all insight and wisdom. I’m a product of that and I’ve definitely benefited greatly from all the information and all the resources that 33 The Series brings to the table, so it’s definitely a must have, it’s definitely something I think every man will benefit from. 33 The Series you gotta get it.”
33 The Series has been a game-changer in my life. I had hit rock bottom and become so jaded that I didnt even believe in God. I was lost on the highway of life and 33 provided a road map for me.”

33 The Series Volume 1: Training Guide
33 The Series is a video series designed to inspire and equip men to pursue authentic manhood as modeled by Jesus Christ in His 33 years on earth. The series features timeless truths updated and expanded from the original Men’s Fraternity curriculum, a multi-generational and diverse teaching team, engaging roundtable discussions, exclusive interviews with experts, moving testimonies, documentaries, and other creative elements.
33 The Series is not just a Bible study—it is a manhood study that provides gospel-centered, biblical, and practical answers to the questions men are facing.
33 The Series is designed to be viewed on video by a group of men, who use training guide outlines to take notes while watching the teaching. Following the video, the men should form discussion groups and process what they have learned using the discussion questions provided in the 33 The Series Training Guide.
Discussion groups should contain 4-8 men. 45 minutes to one hour should be provided for the discussion time.
At the end of the discussion time, men should be encouraged to write down one key take away from that week’s lesson. A form is provided in the 33 The Series Training Guide for this, called “My Strategic Move.”
Most 33 groups meet weekly for six weeks, doing one session per week. If weekly is not possible, the study can be done over a weekend.
As a leader, your role is to organize and host the 33 The Series group/event. You do not have to teach or present content; that is all done for you through the video and training guide.
Most 33 sessions begin with a short introduction and welcome by a leader who has already viewed all six sessions of the series. Following the viewing of the video session, the host may share a brief word regarding how God spoke to him during that session. The openness and transparency of the host can help each man feel comfortable sharing openly during his small group time.

We have designed 33 The Series to be very simple and easy to use. The leader’s kit contains all the material you will need for each session and discussion group; there is no teaching or lesson planning required of you. All you need to do is organize the gathering and recruit men to join.

Yes, each man needs his own copy of the 33 The Series Training Guide. The training guide contains readings to be done at home in between group sessions as well as reflection questions and prompts for personal study. It will be difficult to get the full experience of the resource without each man having his own training guide. The men in your church may purchase the resource directly, or the church can purchase in bulk and give or sell the resource to the men in your church.
Not at all! Though the series was designed with the needs of churches in mind, 33 The Series has been used in businesses, men’s groups, the military, and any place men gather together to grow and encourage each other. It is adaptable to any group format.
There are six volumes of 33 The Series. Each one covers a different aspect of a man’s life. Though we recommend starting with Volume 1 and going in order, this isn’t required.
The first volume of 33 The Series, “A Man and His Story,” helps men heal from the hurts of their past and move forward on the journey to Authentic Manhood following the model Jesus Christ gives us in His 33 years on earth.
Session One: Looking Back
In this session, men are challenged to look back over their life experiences to understand how the people and the experiences of their past have led them to the place they are presently. By understanding and responsibly dealing with their past, they can begin to enjoy God’s best for their future.
Session Two: Dad
In this session, men are asked to take a hard look at their relationship, or lack of relationship, with their father. Men are challenged to honestly examine how their life has been shaped by their father. Session 4 (Healing) will examine how they can find healing from any hurts inflicted by their dad and move forward toward resolving these hurts.
Session Three: Mom
In this session, men examine their relationship with their mother and how this relationship may affect their relationship with their wife or future wife. Session 4 (Healing) will address ways to find healing from any unaddressed mother issues.
Session Four: Healing
In this session, men are guided through a process that can help them heal from a father or mother wound. This session provides practical steps that can help restore relationship with dad or mom. These steps will greatly help men forgive nd move forward.
Session Five: All-Alone
In this session, men are exposed to the dangers of living life alone. They receive instructions on how to break out of their isolation and establish honest and open relationships with other men that will bless and energize their life.
Session Six: Heart
In this final session, men will learn the importance of feeling their feelings, telling the truth to themselves, and others and living truly from their heart. Only through a heart relationship with Jesus Christ and others can men experience a life of truth, passion, and purpose as they were created to live.
