What is a Cohort?

A cohort is a small group of 8-10 men in the same local area. Usually they start as an acquaintance that seems like someone you might like to hang out with some time.

What Makes a DBA Dads Cohort Different?

A cohort is more than just hanging out. A cohort meets regularly through a guided, year-long process facilitated by a coach to intentionally build deeper friendships and support.

Who Can Start A Cohort?

You don’t actually have to be a dad! Anyone who wants to be intentional about building deeper relationships with other men they know in their area can start a cohort.

How Can I Get Started?

The DBA Dads 10-Month Plan

Our 10-month plan is engineered to help each member of your small cohort of acquaintances form one, and often several, deep and meaningful friendships.
Month 1 – What is Friendship?
$

Thesis: True friendship is more than convenience — it’s a choice to walk with others in honesty, trust, and commitment.

Month 2 – Storyline: Knowing and Sharing Your Story
#

Thesis: Your story is not an accident — it carries themes, values, and strength that can shape and bless others.

Month 3 – Formation: How We Grow
$

Thesis: We are shaped by the stories we believe, the habits we practice, and the people we walk with — growth & change is never accidental.

Month 4 – Growth Mindset: The B3 Model
#

Thesis: Growth comes when we notice what’s shaping us, approach challenges with curiosity, and commit to keep moving forward. Be Conscious, Be Curious, Be Growing.

Month 5 – Life Stages
$

Thesis: Each stage of life brings both gifts and responsibilities — and wisdom is choosing to live the present stage well.

Month 6 – Vocation: Passion, Purpose, and Work
#

Thesis: Calling is found where your passion, your strengths, and the world’s need intersect — even in small ways.

Month 7 – Family and Legacy
$

Thesis: The way we love and lead our families becomes the story others will tell about us — legacy starts now.

Month 8 – The Inner World: Soul Practices & Challenges
