BECOMING MAN
PROPHET • PRIEST • KING • WARRIOR
THE BECOMING MAN PATH
Four Archetypes. One Journey into Biblical Manhood.
Most men drift. You weren’t made to drift. Becoming Man is a brotherhood calling you into your God‑given roles: Prophet who hears His voice, Priest who serves, King who leads, and Warrior who fights for what’s right. This is your path to a stronger walk with Christ, your family, and your calling.

LEVEL 1 • JOURNEYMAN
Every Man Starts Somewhere
You don’t have to have it all together to start. Journeyman is where any man who attends a Becoming Man event or reads the book steps into the movement. It’s your first “yes” to God’s call to grow as a man, husband, father, and follower of Christ.
What It Means to Be a Journeyman
As a Journeyman, you’re not a spectator—you’re part of a brotherhood. You’ve taken a real step toward becoming God’s man, and now you’re invited to walk the path with intention. From there, you’ll learn what it looks like to live as Prophet, Priest, King, and Warrior in everyday life and prepare for the Warrior Shirt.
-
Attend a BECOMING MAN sanctioned event or read the book
-
Get Involved in the movement.
-
Pursue the Warrior Shirt
LEVEL 2 • WARRIOR SHIRT
A Visible Mark of Your Commitment
The Warrior Shirt isn’t just clothing. It’s a declaration. When you wear it, you’re publicly committing to live as Prophet, Priest, King, and Warrior—and inviting other men to do the same.
What It Takes to Wear the Warrior Shirt
Level 2 is where you move from “interested” to “invested.” You apply, meet with the Becoming Man Board, and commit to practices that shape who you are at home, at church, and in your body. The Warrior Shirt tells the world you are serious about becoming God’s man.

You pursue and maintain good physical, mental, and emotional health (evaluated in light of your age and season of life).
LEVEL 3 • BECOMING MAN RING
A Symbol of Proven Faithfulness
The Becoming Man Ring is not about a moment—it’s about a history. By the time you reach Level 3, you’ve walked in this movement for years, applied the teachings, and consistently lived out Prophet, Priest, King, and Warrior.
What It Means to Wear the Ring
The ring is a daily reminder of the journey you’ve already walked and the man you’re still becoming. It represents years of showing up, serving, giving, and growing. When another man sees that ring, he sees a man who has stayed the course.

LEVEL 4 • BECOMING MAN PENDANT
Entrusted to Lead and Multiply
The Becoming Man Pendant is the final level of the journey—a seven‑sided symbol of the core values and virtues you now carry. This level is for men who are not only walking the path, but helping build it for others.
What It Means to Carry the Pendant
Level 4 is about entrusted leadership. You’ve been active in the movement for years, faithful in your church and home, and you’re now leading, mentoring, and multiplying other men. The pendant is not a trophy; it’s a reminder that your life is now poured out in service to Christ and His men.
