Deep down in every man\u2019s soul is a longing to change the world. And the world is in desperate need of men who have what it takes to change the course of history. Yet for most guys, the world is changing<\/em> them<\/em> more than they are changing the world<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bryce Bouchard<\/a> has been discipling men since 1996 through Navigators Collegiate on several campuses. He has seen the life transformation that can happen through Life-to-Life\u00ae<\/sup> discipleship\u2014the change of young men from the inside out. He has also observed that life transformation is not an easy process, but it takes an intentional, dedicated focus. The passion to develop disciplemakers who will lead and change the world spurred Bryce on to develop the Noblemen Course<\/em>\u2014a 12-week commitment that gives men the impetus to learn and live out their influence for God\u2019s Kingdom. The name \u201cNoblemen\u201d comes from Isaiah 32:8<\/a>: \u201cThe noble man makes noble plans and by noble deeds he stands.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Rich Redel<\/a>, Navigators Collegiate, Arizona State University, shares the impact of the course: \u201cNoblemen<\/em> continually challenges me personally on what it means to be a man as it applies to my roles as campus director, husband, and father. The effect it has on young men in the ministry is huge! \u00a0We see men in the Word consistently, in close fellowship with one another, and tackling purity in their personal lives and interactions with women. The big takeaways seem to be deep healthy relationships with other men and a commitment to God and His Word.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Noblemen<\/em> is designed for men who want to know what it means to be a godly man and how to live that out within their own sphere of influence. Everything taught is designed to be passed on\u2014as men flourish through the deep investment, they can do the same for others. Simply put, the men who complete Noblemen<\/em> are transformed, and they are transforming those around them. About 1,500 men have completed the course, and while it started with college men, the ministry has spread to include courses for men in the workplace and in churches. Topics such as identity in Christ, intimacy with Christ, purity, wisdom, work ethic, authentic friendships, and assuming responsibility are covered in the course.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

By taking the time to honestly addresses the challenges that men face in our culture, and applying biblical truth to these challenges, men are equipped to live out their faith.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cody Hanssen<\/a>, Navigators Collegiate at University of Minnesota Duluth, shared feedback from students who completed the Noblemen<\/em> Course<\/em> this spring: \u201cI\u2019ve seen the high calling God has for men and for me. The Noblemen Course<\/em> helped me understand how the Great Commission is something that you cannot turn off when you don\u2019t feel like it. Christ has called us to share the gospel, no matter who we are around.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
