The Men of Peace Coaching Group is a structured, accountability-based coaching experience for men who have identified abusive patterns in themselves and are committed to taking responsibility for their behavior and walking the path of repentance. The group is gospel-centered and emphasizes personal accountability, discipleship, and consistent participation.

The group will be co-facilitated by Dr. Chris Moles and the Men of Peace Team - all qualified interventionists with extensive experience working with abusive men.

No. The Men of Peace Coaching Group will not provide case management to participants. We believe the greatest potential for an abusive man’s accountability lies in his choice to take responsibility for his repentance process and to proactively invite a variety of people (counselors, advocates, pastors, church leaders, law enforcement, etc.) to, together, act as a shepherding team. The more expansive and diverse the roles of shepherding team members, the more effective the accountability will be. 

Though not a requirement for this coaching group, during the initial three weeks of guided, independent orientation work, participants will receive instruction and support for identifying and assembling an appropriate shepherding team.

If a participant does not choose to invite outside accountability or establish a shepherding team, this may be an indicator that he is not yet ready or willing to take responsibility for and repent of the abusive patterns he’s identified in himself. 

This group is intended for evangelical, confessing Christian men who personally desire to take responsibility for abusive patterns they have identified in themselves, regardless of their current or future marital status.

Men who are currently:

• Serving a criminal sentence

• Under a protective or no-contact order

• Engaged in ongoing physical violence

are encouraged to voluntarily enroll in a state-accredited Batterers Intervention and Prevention Program (BIPP). Men of Peace does not replace court-ordered interventions and does not participate in pre-trial diversions.

While Men of Peace is not affiliated with DAIP, coaching will address all abuse tactics listed on the Duluth Model Power and Control Wheel (as it is the standard in domestic abuse intervention) along with the heart issues and theological motivations associated with them.

No. The Men of Peace Coaching Group is not therapy and not crisis intervention. Men who require clinical treatment, crisis services, or court-ordered intervention should seek those services separately.

The coaching group runs for twenty-nine (29) weeks and will be broken up into three (3) weeks of guided independent orientation work, twenty-four (24) weeks of live coaching sessions, and two (2) weeks guided conclusion work.

Participants should expect a significant weekly time commitment, including:

• A two-hour live group coaching session

• Independent coursework through the Men of Peace Self-Paced Course

• Weekly written reflection and application assignments

• Engagement with group discussion prompts

Consistent attendance and timely completion of all assignments are required.

The results for each participant will span a wide spectrum of outcomes that depend entirely on his willingness to commit to the repentance process. We cannot guarantee or predict any such outcomes.
