  • Goals completed/missed
  • Hardest task
  • Describe your day in 5 words or less
  • Answer: “What should you focus on for tomorrow?”

Check-in each day by 10pm to the large group by sending all of the above minus 5 words or less description.

Groupme Rules:

  1. No gossip, cursing, inappropriate comments, NSFW content, or rudeness. This is a place for encouragement and accountability. Take all that other trash somewhere else.
  2. No spam. If you have something to say to someone, direct message them. Keep the chat clear for important messages, questions, and daily check-ins.
  3. What happens in the challenge chat stays in the challenge chat. A guy may share something vulnerable and sensitive and it’s your job to make sure it doesn’t leave this chat. You share anything you read here with someone you shouldn’t (including your wife), you’re instantly kicked off the challenge and out of the group. This is a safe community and that trash will not be tolerated.
  4. Feel free to send random encouragements or recommendations of content for goals or tips to complete goals, but don’t spam either.
  5. Complete the checklists that Ty sends out (pregame & postgame).
  6. Send in your daily Check-in BEFORE 10pm each day.

Alpha Man Core values

The Creed of the Alpha Man

I am a son of God. I am not defined by my past, my mistakes, or my failures. I am defined by my Father in heaven, and He says I am worth the blood of Jesus to Him. I am a man who knows who he is, and therefore I am free. I will approach this day with confidence that no matter what happens, even if it is the worst that could be, He is carrying me in His love, and that is enough.

I am a man that is satisfied. I have more than I need. I am blessed beyond what I deserve. I am the son of a God that is generous to a degree I will never fully understand, therefore I lack nothing. He is enough.

I am a man that keeps my word and does hard things. I don’t shy away from commitments or conflict. I mean what I say, and I do what I say I’ll do. When my brother asks me to go one mile with him, I will go two.

I am a son of my Father in heaven. I will embrace my Alpha role and lead from the front because He has called me to it and He is good. I will live like all of this is true because it is.

I am surrendered to the way of Jesus.
I am selfless; focused on the good of others.
I am safe to all but evil.
I am satisfied in Christ and Christ alone.
I am sacrificial; giving whatever it takes.
And I am celebratory; of good, of others, and of Jesus.

My mind and my heart begin without the best of intentions, so I rely on Jesus to renew them every single day. Today will be no different.

Renew my mind, Lord.

This day is Yours. I am Yours. All of it is Yours.
So today, I will depend on You.

Acts of Service

Married guys:

  • Buy your wife coffee
  • Buy flowers for your wife for no reason the next time you go to the grocery store just for one thing
  • Do the kids’ morning/bedtime routine so she can have a bit of time to herself
  • Rub her feet at the end of the day
  • Do a load of laundry instead of lounging and watching SportsCenter (which you can actually do WHILE you do laundry so on this one y’all both win)
  • Take your wife on a date this weekend and make sure she never has to touch a door handle other than the bathroom door
  • Spend a day looking for 15 different ways to tell your wife she looks beautiful. Do not repeat the same compliment. Don’t stop ’til you hit 15.

Dating/Engaged guys:

  • Surprise your girl at work with flowers just because.
  • Send her texts throughout the day telling her you’re thinking about her or that she’s beautiful – more than usual.
  • Go to the store with her when she gets groceries and carry in her groceries at her house so she doesn’t have to.
  • Take your girl on a date this weekend and make sure she never has to touch a door handle other than the bathroom door.
  • Call her on the phone (not FaceTime) and ask her about her day. Take notes on the other end and use what you learn to get her a gift the next day (counts as 2 days)
  • Take her dog on a walk and get it out of the house so she can work on homework, clean the house, or just take a bath – give her time to herself.

Single guys:

  • Do a load of laundry for your mom.
  • Mow the lawn for your dad.
  • Do the dishes for your roommates; their dishes. Yours are a requirement for daily life.
  • Stay late after practice and clean the gym/field for your coach.
  • Make dinner for your family.
  • Volunteer yourself to run the scoreboard for your coaches at lower level games.
  • Ask your dad what he’s wanting to get done around the house that you can take off his plate.
