Cohorts

Chris Fryar

President & Owner, Alexander Global Promotions

"I'm Chris, a relatively new member of Impact Players in the greater Seattle area. I recently started my journey with Christ, and I was in need of a positive, christian-minded group of men in my area...basically, I'm a 52-year old without many "good guy" friends anymore. Impact Players "met" me at the right time, right place and with message six months ago, and ever since, it's been "bucket filler" for my life. As a business owner, it's great to also have a smaller local cohort I've joined, with an "entrepreneurial spin" with other local professionals and business owners.

I would say, more than anything...I feel so inspired and full of goodness and spirit during our once-a-month breakfasts and speakers meetings at SAMBICA, to be surrounded by 100-150 men from all ages and backgrounds, to come together for the common goal of becoming better husbands, fathers and community leaders.

Impact Players has made an immediate impact on my life and I look forward to many years of involvement, recruitment and "good guy" friendships and memories with this group."

"One definition of male leadership is to “initiate flourishing within your sphere of influence.” Initiate… start the hard conversations, reach out to others to give to them and not take from them, be the one who prays for a vision for your family, to protect and to serve.
I have sat with many men, who for many reasons do NOT take initiative in their lives. And their families, co-workers, neighbors and social media friends take the brunt of their lack of initiative. Grown men, who don’t cross the line into initiative-territory... There are many reasons why they stay away from taking initiative:

• Fear of failure
• Shame
• Having failures in their past
• Being unsure where to start
• Being unsure of where to ultimate end up

Enter Impact Players! I have seen the men in our church take the initiative to meet together and start to disassemble fear, shame and failures. IP gives a safe place for men to meet and work these things out with other men who are also working it out. When I was hired on, our church already had IP in the DNA of our men and I have personally seen growth of seasoned believers as well as new believers and non-Christians being led to Jesus.
 

Warren’s studies are easy-to-use, Christ-centered and relevant to where men are. I am personally very thankful for IP and the effect that they have had on our church. I highly recommend that you start a cohort in your church. As a pastor, it is refreshing and helpful to know that Warren has written trusted studies for our men."

"Having experienced the transformative vision of Impact Players firsthand, I can confidently say it's a beacon of inspiration for men striving to excel in their roles as husbands, fathers, and leaders. The organization's dedication to equipping men with the tools to thrive in their most meaningful relationships is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly encourage men to join Impact Players and embark on a journey towards becoming exceptional fathers, husbands, and leaders. It's a decision that promises personal growth and a positive impact on those around them."

"I have enjoyed attending for almost two years. It has always been a bright spot in my schedule. Offering unwavering support for men striving to excel as husbands, fathers, and neighbors. The lineup of speakers brings relevant insights. The morning gatherings foster connections, welcoming both regulars and newcomers. The cohorts let close relationships flourish."
