10 Challenges to Get You and Your Small Group Out of a Rut

The Decathlon helps men move from talk to action through a longer path of practical challenges, spiritual friendship, and steady obedience.

Overview

A Longer Path for Men Who Need Momentum

The Decathlon is a 40-week training path built around 10 concrete challenges. It is designed for men and small groups who are tired of talking about growth and ready to practice it. Instead of another passive study, it gives men a demanding but realistic path that builds appetite for God and gets them moving together.

Who It's For

A 10-challenge path for men and small groups who need more than a book study to get moving again.
