About this book

Build The Man First calls men to become spiritually grounded, emotionally honest, disciplined, and purpose-driven before trying to lead, build, or become everything God has called them to be.

The book is paired with a companion website, BuildTheManFirst.com, offering a free workbook, a guided framework, Field Notes, and additional resources for men committed to growth in faith, identity, and purpose.

The six moves

  • Center: Put God first
  • Surrender: Take your hands off the wheel
  • Define: Know who God says you are
  • Govern: Master what runs you
  • Build: Take action consistently
  • Lead: Carry responsibility beyond yourself
