Becoming Man Level Requirements
The Becoming Man Level Requirements are designed to guide men along the path of transformation into a mature son of God. At each level, there are requirements intended to display the attributes of Christ: Prophet, Priest, King, and Warrior. While one could certainly progress mechanically through the levels with no heart change, this is not the intent. Our deepest desire is that we all be transformed into the likeness of Jesus.
As you grow, year by year, living the 7 core values and 14 virtues, we pray that you will recognize a legitimate transformation in your life as you become like Christ as Prophet (teaching the word), Priest (serving those in your garden), King (managing kingdom resources well), and Warrior (protecting everything entrusted to your care).
