Talk About JoiningYou can bring your whole life
You’ve carried it alone.
You don’t have to grow alone.
You want a deeper relationship with God, but the pressure of everyday life keeps taking over. You may be doing well at work and feeling distant at home. Or you keep returning to the same anxiety, conflict, or avoidance, even when you know you want something different.
True Man Project gives you a consistent place to be honest, recognize what’s happening beneath the surface, and practice a different way forward with men doing the work alongside you.
Your relationship with God is central. Through prayer, honest conversation, and the realities of your own life, we explore who he’s made you to be and how to live from that identity.
The change we work toward
More secure in yourself.
More present in your life.
Stay present.
Notice when you withdraw, become defensive, or try to control the situation. Practice honest conversations, healthier responses to conflict, and deeper connection with the people you love.
Lead with clarity.
Understand how your patterns affect your decisions and leadership. Work more from your strengths, address what you’ve been avoiding, and make room for more fruitful work and greater freedom with your time.
The six-month experience
A rhythm that helps
change take root.
Consistent conversation, personal guidance, and steps you practice in the life you actually live.
You bring the situations you’re facing. Together, we examine the patterns beneath them, invite God into the conversation, and work out what needs to change.
The group gives you men to learn with, be known by, and be accountable to. Two individual checkpoints help you apply the group’s work to your own life.
Weekly guided group conversations
Bring real situations, gain perspective, and learn with other men over six months.
Two individual sessions with Charles
One at the beginning to clarify what you want to work on, and one halfway through to review what’s changing and identify your next steps.
Connection between meetings
Ongoing peer dialogue, encouragement, and accountability as you put the work into practice.
Shared practices and three core courses
Prayer, reflection, and practical exercises that connect what you’re learning to your relationships, decisions, and work.
The curriculum
Shared language.
Practice in everyday life.
These three Live Courageous courses guide the group’s work. We return to what they reveal in conversation, individual coaching, and the choices you make between meetings.
The Integrated Path
Understand how your relationship with God, inner life, relationships, and work affect one another. Begin bringing your choices into alignment with who you are and what matters to you.
How Not To Be An Escape Artist
Recognize where fear and self-protection lead you to avoid, numb, or disengage. Practice staying present and taking the next honest step when life gets uncomfortable.
From Reacting To Leading
Notice how your thoughts, emotions, and behavior work together. Develop steadier responses under pressure and lead yourself more intentionally in work, relationships, and conflict.
Who this is for
Men willing to be honest.
Men ready to act.
True Man Project is for Christian men who want to grow closer to God and see that relationship shape how they live, love, and work.
You don’t need to have faith all figured out. Questions, uncertainty, and disappointment with church can be part of the conversation.
You do need a willingness to show up consistently, listen, consider what you may not yet see, and take responsibility for your next steps. The men alongside you need that same commitment from you.
The person alongside you
Meet Charles Shivers
Charles ShiversFounder, Live Courageous
I’ve helped build and lead businesses, developed workforce solutions serving Fortune 500 companies, and coached approximately 1,000 people over ten years. Today, I own Transformed Talent Partners and lead Live Courageous.
My strength is making sense of complex, tangled situations. I stay with the complexity long enough to recognize the underlying pattern, distill what matters into clear, actionable truth, and help you move forward.
That ability has also been shaped by my own life. I’ve had to confront patterns I couldn’t initially see, question beliefs I relied on, and take responsibility for changing. My relationship with God has been central to that process, and it shapes how I work with other men.
I bring business experience, personal understanding, and the willingness to tell you the truth. Together, we put that understanding to work in the decisions and relationships that matter.
