SUMMARY:Men and Fatherhood
DESCRIPTION:Price: $20 \nDescription: Come to this talk if your family has any problems! Men’s speaker\, comedian\, and therapist Paul Kim talk about changing your family tree. There is no such thing as a “perfect family”. And let’s be honest\, none of us were taught about what makes for successful relationships\, marriages\, and parenting\, in our classes growing up. We just took what we saw in our own families and experiences\, and did the best that we could\, with what we were given. As rewarding as family life can be\, each one has its share of struggles and problems. Negative patterns of behavior\, both in individuals and in families are bound to repeat themselves and pass on from generation to generation. At FORGE\, we build men who change their family trees for the better! Come hear Paul J Kim talk about how! Paul has spoken in 48 states and 16 countries. His presentations are insightful\, practical\, and hilarious. Utilizing examples and stories from Scripture\, world-class authors and relationship experts\, and his own counseling experience with families and couples in real-life situations\, Paul offers a perspective that has left countless people inspired and one that you won’t want to miss. \nRegistration: Registration not required at this time. For those who wish to reserve a spot\, pre-registration will open 1 week after the previous event. Click the “PRE-REGISTER” button found at myforge.org/events-wichita. \nDate: Tuesday\, May 26th.

SUMMARY:Basilicas and Barbells
DESCRIPTION:Price: $20 \nDescription: Since 2000\, gym memberships in the U.S. have more than doubled (33 to 70 million). From protein shakes to CrossFit to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu\, our culture is gripped by a hunger for physical excellence. But what does the Catholic Church have to say about the gym? After all\, some of our greatest saints were… well\, not exactly lean. Does physical fitness have anything to do with spiritual fitness? If so\, what? And can things go wrong? This talk has answers.\nDr. Jared Zimmerer—former competitive bodybuilder and Senior Director of Bishop Robert Barron’s Word on Fire Institute\, now a humanities professor\, husband\, and father of six—will shed light on the topic. Human beings are a curious mix of mind\, matter\, and spirit. The one inevitably affects the other. Whether you’re hitting the squat rack twice a day or hitting the snack drawer every hour\, this talk has something practical for every guy. \nRegistration: Registration not required at this time. For those who wish to reserve a spot\, pre-registration will open 1 week after the previous event. Click the “PRE-REGISTER” button found at myforge.org/events-wichita. \nDate: Tuesday\, April 21st. Doors open 7PM. Programming begins at 8PM. \nLocation: Odd Fellow Hall \nListen to our guest speaker on:\nElliot Hulse Podcast (yo elliot!\, iykyk)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2wF6VbH8TgGood News Conference Talk – Beauty and the Moral Imaginationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBUfWXHMhloCatholic Film Club – Rewriting Gladiator IIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsIP2Q-VNs4

SUMMARY:God Made Men
DESCRIPTION:Price: $20 \nDescription: The Church teaches that humans bear within themselves the image and likeness of God.  This image is revealed in every facet of the human person\, including our sexuality.  For this reason\, masculinity and femininity point to a kind of theology: they show us the face of God.  Unfortunately\, many in today’s world have a distorted view of masculinity.  Men and boys are falling behind in nearly every relevant sociological metric including education\, job success\, and church involvement. Dr. Bishop will illuminate the crisis of men and what our Church can do about it. \nDr. John Bishop is the Founder and Executive Director of Forge. He holds a doctorate in Theology from the Catholic University of America. He is a frequent Catholic speaker and author whose first book\, New Adam\, will be released in February 2026. John lives in Des Moines\, IA\, with his wife and children. \nSpeaker: John Bishop\, Ph.D. \nRegistration: Registration not required. For those who wish to reserve a spot\, pre-registration will start 30 days prior to the event.  \nDate: Thursday\, January 29th. Doors open and drinks served at 7PM.  Talk starts at 8PM. \nLocation: Odd Fellow Hall (930 W Douglas Ave.)
