In this transition, I&#8217;ve taken a hard look at the influence that I&#8217;ve had on people, as a leader, father, boss, mentor, and brother.  Because of my military background and transient lifestyle, those people are mostly scattered around the world.  So daily (or even monthly!) face-to-face relationships are difficult to maintain.  Global Adventure has begun to have an impact on some men here in the UK, but is not sustainable as a full-time job.  So I&#8217;ve made the decision to <em>Give It All Away<\/em>.  Instead of going big, I&#8217;m going small.  <\/p>\n<h2>The 300.<\/h2>\n<p>We have created a network of men across the UK and US called The 300. Fashioned after David&#8217;s Mighty Men, the Spartans at Thermopylae, and Gideon&#8217;s army, this is a group of men who are committed to stand shoulder-to-shoulder to strengthen and encourage each other.  We think that one or two men in a church or community can spearhead a grass-roots movement of men who are looking for something different.<\/p>\n<h4>Men that are ready for something that will challenge them physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.<\/h4>\n<h4>Men that have had enough of sitting on the sidelines and letting culture, their jobs, their wives, their children run their lives.<\/h4>\n<h4>Men that are ready to lead, but only from a place of honesty and trust.<\/h4>\n<h4>Men that will go deeper in relationships &#8212; with each other, with God, and with their families.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re looking for 300 men.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Exclusive Content<\/h2>\n<p>We have created a curriculum for men&#8217;s small groups and men&#8217;s ministries &#8212; leader notes, guided discussions, ebooks, social media resources, hiking maps(!), even workouts &#8212; for the members to use to lead their groups.  This content, exclusive to The 300, will be distributed in monthly SITREPs.  The 300 will also have access to a private web page in order to share successes, lessons learned and other notes and resources.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/warriorshepherd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Join-the-300.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/warriorshepherd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Join-the-300.jpg\" alt=\"Join the 300\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2946\" srcset=\"http:\/\/warriorshepherd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Join-the-300.jpg 560w, http:\/\/warriorshepherd.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Join-the-300-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How to Join The 300<\/h2>\n<p>Membership is easy.
