Dating, Commitment & Relationships | Another Brave Men's Dinner Experience

Is dating today helping us find commitment or just confusion?

Dating today can feel complex.

From dating apps that fizzle out to mismatched expectations, many men are struggling to build meaningful, long-term relationships.

This upcoming Brave Men Dinner is an intentional created space for real talk, shared wisdom, and courageous action.Over food and conversation, we’ll explore:

1. How to navigate dating with the purpose of commitment (not just casual play).
2. The role of community — sometimes it’s as simple as a friend asking: “Have you thought about Angela?”
3. What traditional and ancient practices (like arranged marriages or matchmaking in community) can teach us today.
4. What’s your next step of risk? (For some: shifting from casual dating to commitment. For others: re-entering the dating scene with authenticity or pursuing your spouse more intentionally)

You don’t need to be dating to attend. Whether you’re single, married, divorced, or happily solo, you’ll walk away with clarity, encouragement, and one practical next step.

What to Expect

• Dinner – good food, safe space.
• Short Talk – framing the evening with key insights.
• Panel Discussion – men sharing raw stories of dating, marriage, setbacks, and lessons learned.
• Table Conversations – smaller group discussions with prompts to help you connect with others, reflect and share.
• Takeaway & Reflection – each man leaves with one “next step of risk.”

Who This Is For

• Men who want to build meaningful, committed relationships.
• Single men navigating dating with authenticity and purpose.
• Married men looking to grow in the way they do relationship.
• Men seeking brotherhood, wisdom, and encouragement in an honest space.
