In today’s culture, many men don’t know what it means to be a man. The journey to Manhood is often fraught with confusion, isolation, and seemingly insurmountable challenges,
Introducing Don Ross, Founder of Manhood Tribes
Don Ross emerges as a guiding force, seeking to redefine and revive the essence of authentic masculinity. As the founder of Manhood Tribes, Don is on a mission to address the struggles faced by men today and offer a pathway towards meaningful connections, personal growth, and a rediscovery of the timeless virtues that define true manhood.
Manhood Tribes was born out of the recognition that many men grapple with the complexities of modern masculinity, from societal expectations to personal battles with addiction and despair. Don, fueled by a passion for fostering genuine connections among men, established this platform to bring them together in Tribes, acknowledging the innate need for camaraderie and support.
The core philosophy of Manhood Tribes revolves around the belief that men are not designed to navigate life in isolation. Instead, they are meant to thrive in groups, or Tribes, which serve as a source of strength, encouragement, and shared experience. The initiative kicks off with a transformative father/son rite of passage experience called First Tribe, with more diverse experiences planned for the future.
Regardless of one's stage in life, Manhood Tribes promises to have something to offer. The experience focuses on three key pillars—Manhood, Camaraderie, and Freedom—each designed to facilitate growth in specific areas of a man's life.
Under the banner of Manhood, participants gain a clear understanding of healthy masculinity and learn how to evolve as men. Camaraderie is fostered through adventure, challenge, and meaningful discussions, leading to the formation of significant friendships. Freedom, the third pillar, embodies the collective fight for healing and restoration, with a spiritual dimension rooted in the transformative power of Jesus.
A cornerstone of Manhood Tribes is the embrace of the "5 Marks of Manhood," which aims to simplify the understanding of what it means to be a man in today's complex world. These five fundamental traits—Strength, Courage, Skill, Honor, and Allegiance—serve as guiding principles for men on their journey towards a fulfilled and purposeful life.
As we embark on an insightful conversation with Don Ross on the Manlihood ManCast, we delve deeper into the vision, values, and transformative experiences that define Manhood Tribes, inspiring men to navigate the challenges of life with resilience, authenticity, and a renewed sense of purpose.
