Most men drift.
Few are forged.

FOR MEN IN THEIR 20S & EARLY 30S — BIRMINGHAM, Alabama

THE FORGE is ongoing, structured guidance that helps young professional men trade a performance-based identity for one rooted in Christ — through weekly teaching, deep discussion, and monthly mentoring.

Who This Is For

This isn't career coaching. It's formation.

What THE FORGE Is Not
  • A motivational program that hands you five steps to success
  • High-pressure brotherhood language with no follow-through
  • Advice on landing a better job or "finding your purpose"
  • A one-off session with no continuity
What THE FORGE Is
  • A guided, biblical process of self-discovery — not being told what to do
  • An invitation for men who are teachable and ready to change themselves
  • Weekly reinforcement across teaching, podcast, and mentoring
  • Ongoing, structured guidance built for real, lasting transformation

How It Works

One journey, three rhythms.

01 / WEEKLY

Group Bible Teaching

A Seven-track curriculum walking through Scriptures and the stories of men God forges. It's built for reflection, not lecture.

02 / WEEKLY

Men Are Forged Podcast

Biblically focused, unscripted conversations with co-host Bo Morgan that reinforce the week's teaching and meets you wherever you're listening.

03 / MONTHLY

1:1 Mentoring

A standing conversation focused on what's actually happening in your life, not a script, a real insight and formation built over time.

Your Guide

Not a motivator.
A guide.

GUIDE & FACILITATOR

Cartwright Morris

Leadership Guide · Certified Coach · The Center for Executive Leadership

With 12+ years of experience, I lead men into deeper self-discovery rather than offering mere instructions. I facilitate a process where young professionals can stop performing and start growing. THE FORGE is an invitation for those ready to do the work, remain teachable, and invest in a life-changing pursuit. It is a doorway for the man ready to be forged.

  • Weekly Men Are Forged podcast with co-host Bo Morgan
  • Group facilitation at The Center for Executive Leadership
  • Guided by a board of business executives and ministry leaders

  • You must have a genuine desire to grow and be teachable

  • You must be willing to change yourself, not just your circumstances

  • You'll be asked to show up prepared — real change takes real investment

  • Jesus and Scripture are the non-negotiable center of the process

"In my own twenties I wished I had a guide — someone to walk alongside me through life, work, and relationships, and give me permission to trust who God made me instead of constantly trying to be someone else. Now I get to be that guide for other young men in the same season."
