What people are saying…
As a two semester Stretched Group participant with Jon’s facilitation, I highly recommend investing in your future and your growth as a man and father by joining one of the new groups forming now. Jon is always prepared, brings relevant material and questions to the table to keep the conversation going, and is always encouraging. It is great to learn and to hear from others on different stages in the journey to becoming the best we can be for the world and our family. My life is definitely growing richer because of Stretched – it certainly is a worthwhile investment.
The Stretched Men Group has been extremely helpful in several areas of my life. The conversations are honest, and at times, tough, but I couldn’t have imagined making as much progress without each of the guys. Jon facilitates each session with focus and sensitivity. He is open and challenges us to dig deep, and from the guided explorations and questions comes clarity. Each of us come from a different walk of life which offers different perspectives on the topics that arise. I’m not much of a joiner, and I was hesitant to take part in this type of activity. Vulnerability is hard, but it is absolutely necessary for change and accountability. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity and look forward to continuing.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
- Bi-weekly 60-90 minute online video calls with Jon and your small group. Each of these calls includes
- A valuable teaching on an applicable topic from Jon
- Engaging group discussions where you can ask questions, encourage, challenge
- A rotating hot seat where a different member gets extended time to focus on their individual challenges, questions, life events.
- A private Facebook group where you can interact outside of the video call. Jon will show up regularly there to help answer questions and offer encouragement.
