Are you struggling to find true friends that make you a better husband, leader, or father? 
How do you build deeper, authentic relationships with men who actually challenge and sharpen you? 
What are the characteristics of real, Christ-centered friendships that can support you when life gets tough?

This week, we dig into what it really means to have โ€œmat carrierโ€ friendsโ€”men who are always there, ready to call you higher and walk with you through challenges. Ryan Zook and Colton Herb open up about why most men need to look beyond casual buddies and intentionally seek out friends who bring out the best in them, both at home and in leadership. Drawing from Mark 2 and personal experience, they reveal practical steps to find, build, and be the kind of friend every man needs.
Donโ€™t do life aloneโ€”if you need help finding mentors or friends for your journey, reach out today!
