BetterMan FAQ

What is BetterMan?

BetterMan is a Christian organization that helps men unleash the better man inside them. The curriculum is an 11-week group study on the essentials of biblical manhood and how men can live it out at home, at work, with friends, and with God. Learn more on About Us or our How it Works page.

Who is BetterMan for?

BetterMan is for men of all ages, beliefs, and backgrounds. You can take part in BetterMan as a participant or a group leader, depending on your age/season of life.

How is BetterMan free?

We're not here to sell you on anything - BetterMan Resources are free of charge. The financial investment to create BetterMan Resources and run the organization has been provided by generous donors. Why? We believe biblical manhood is that important and we wanted to make sure that lack of finances is never a barrier to any man who wants to learn about it. Our workbooks have a free downloadable version, but we also offer printed copies for your convenience sold at cost online

How is BetterMan different from other men’s studies?

BetterMan is unique in that it presents a specific, easily remembered, transferable definition of biblical manhood paired with practical application. It's a shorter study at 11-weeks, which makes for an easier commitment from men. It appeals to men in the community, not just men at church. It mixes younger and older men together. It offers four different video speakers with diverse backgrounds to choose from. We think you should check it out and let us know why you think it's different at info@betterman.com!

What is covered during the 11 weeks?

From unpacking your past to planning your future, we cover it all in topics related to biblical manhood.

Am I ready to be a BetterMan Mentor?

BetterMan Leaders have walked with the Lord for a few seasons of life and have a desire to invest in other men. You don’t have to be a Bible scholar, but you do need to be able to say with integrity, “Follow me as I follow Christ,” (1 Cor. 11:1) to be qualified to lead. Still unsure? Email us at info@betterman.com.

How can I find men to join my BetterMan Small Group?

Small group leaders recruit the participants of their groups, which are often made up of sons, friends of kids, men at work, men at church, neighbors, and other guys in their network.

How can I find a mentor to lead my BetterMan Small Group?

Chances are good that there’s a man in your life that you look up to who could lead your BetterMan Group (i.e. a father, pastor, spiritual leader, etc). You might offer to help recruit the small group of men to attend with you. Also, you can ask your local church to launch BetterMan. If you're interested in jumping in a group but can't find someone to lead, let us know here.

Can I launch a BetterMan Small Group without a mentor?

We strongly recommend every BetterMan group have a mentor that has walked with the Lord for a few seasons of life and have a desire to invest in other men. If you're interested in jumping in a group but can't find someone to lead, let us know here.

Where do BetterMan Groups take place?

Groups meet in homes, offices, churches, coffee shops, online — most anywhere where men can gather in a comfortable setting.

How many men make up a Small Group? Large Church Group?

Small Groups generally consist of 2 mentors and around 6 other men participating. A Large Church Group is a collection of multiple small groups that meet at the same time and place, ranging between 50-500+ men total

Can I launch a BetterMan Virtual Group?

Yes! BetterMan first launched in 2020 during the peak of the pandemic and we’ve seen hundreds of successful virtual groups. Virtual groups meet each week on Zoom (or any other video meeting software) versus in person.

Do I have to go through a church to start a group?

No, men who have a passion to invest in younger men’s lives can lead a BetterMan Experience.

When do BetterMan Groups start?

Groups launch year-round, but common group launch dates are 1) in the beginning of the year around January and 2) in the fall around September.

Is there a version of BetterMan in Spanish?

Yes! Check out MejorHombre to learn more about the fully translated Spanish version of our 11-week BetterMan group study.

Are there additional BetterMan studies after the 11-week group study?

Yes! Check out the After BetterMan page to view the options.

Why is BetterMan focused on just men?

Men and women were created as equals and each gender was created with unique roles and responsibilities. BetterMan seeks to address men and their specific needs, because when men are healthy it changes everything - the home, the church, and the culture - for the better.
