CALL TO ACTION
Fortis ad Amorem Community • Founding Cohort

Stop carrying everything alone.

Twelve men. Twelve weeks. Body, mind, spirit and brotherhood—built around one standard: become strong enough to love the people God has entrusted to you well.

For men 35+ who believe in Jesus, feel stuck somewhere in their life, and are ready to do more than consume another podcast, book, retreat, or motivational speech.

You do not need to become someone else.

You need to stop abandoning the man God is asking you to become.

If This Hits, Pay Attention

You can be doing well and still know something is off.

You provide. You solve problems. People count on you. And somewhere along the way, your own formation became “I’ll get to it later.” Fortis is built for the man who is done making that deal.

01 • Capacity

Everybody gets a piece of you.

Work, family, problems, obligations. By the time you get to your own body, prayer, relationships or direction, there is not much left.

02 • Alignment

You know what to do. You are not doing it consistently.

The issue is not a lack of information. It is the gap between what you say matters and what your days actually prove.

03 • Brotherhood

You have people around you. That does not mean you are known.

Men can become very good at carrying pressure quietly. This gives you a place to be challenged, supported and noticed when you disappear.

04 • Faith

You believe in Jesus. But belief still has to become practice.

Prayer, surrender, courage, responsibility and love have to make it into Tuesday morning—not just Sunday.

The Standard
This is not a men’s retreat you forget by Monday. It is a rhythm you practice until it starts showing up at home.
01 • Spirit

Receive. Pray. Surrender.

Jesus-centered formation, honest prayer, Scripture and the practice of trusting God without becoming passive.

02 • Mind

Pay attention.

Reading, reflection and practical questions that turn insight into the next right action instead of more information.

03 • Body

Build capacity.

Individualized strength and conditioning, movement, walking, recovery and nutrition support that fit the man in front of us.

04 • Brotherhood

Do not disappear.

A small group, daily check-ins, individual mentorship, group conversations and shared experiences built around honest follow-through.

The goal is not to become impressive. The goal is to become dependable—to God, to your family, to your brothers and to the responsibilities already in your hands.
Inside the 12 Weeks

Not content. Contact.

You will have things to do, people who know whether you did them, and room to adjust when real life punches the schedule in the mouth.

The Journey

Six lenses. Two weeks each. One man.

We use John Eldredge’s Fathered by God as companion reading. The stages are formation themes—not badges you “complete.” The work keeps overlapping because real life does too.

Weeks 1–2

Beloved Son

Receive before you prove. Belonging, support, prayer and learning to care for the life entrusted to you.

Weeks 3–4

Cowboy

Move. Initiative, useful competence, teachability and becoming dependable in ordinary life.

Weeks 5–6

Warrior

Choose what deserves your courage. Boundaries, restraint, responsibility and strength used in service of love.

Weeks 7–8

Lover

Be present enough to love. Attention, appreciation, repair, relationship and healthy enjoyment.

Weeks 9–10

King

Steward what is yours. Responsibility, influence, order, service and creating life around you instead of controlling outcomes.

Weeks 11–12

Sage

Carry it forward. Humility, wisdom earned through practice, encouragement and a sustainable next season.

No Theater

You will be asked to show up. You will not be asked to perform.

There is a difference between accountability and humiliation. Fortis is built to demand honest participation without turning vulnerability into a competition.

What we will ask of you

  • Pray and make room for God daily.
  • Train and care for your body consistently.
  • Read, listen, reflect and apply.
  • Tell the truth when you miss the standard.
  • Ask for support before you disappear.
  • Protect your brothers’ confidentiality.
  • Carry the work into your home and relationships.

What this is not

  • Not therapy or a replacement for clinical care.
  • Not an “alpha male” performance contest.
  • Not forced disclosure or trauma theater.
  • Not a leaderboard for prayer, pain or fitness.
  • Not identical workouts, diets or outcomes for every man.
  • Not passive content you consume and forget.
  • Not a promise that twelve weeks magically fixes your life.

The standard price for this 12-week experience is $3,700. For the founding beta cohort, your investment is $777 per man. The lower price comes with the same commitment to practice, accountability and honest follow-through. These first twelve men will help shape the delivery, rhythm and community experience as we build Fortis together.

Good Questions

Read this before you apply.

If you are wondering whether this is your room, these are the questions I would want answered too.

Do I need to be Catholic?
No. This founding cohort is for men who believe in Jesus across Christian denominations. Catholic sources inform some of Harry Boom’s preparation, but the shared practices are Jesus-centered. No man is required to adopt a Catholic devotion or make a formal consecration.
Do I need to already be in great shape?
No. Training and movement start from the man’s actual starting point. Loads, conditioning and progressions are not identical for every participant. Readiness matters more than proving something.
What if I am private and do not want to share everything?
Good. You should have boundaries. You can pass on personal questions, journal privately or speak with Harry Boom individually. No recording, screenshots or repeating another man’s story. Brotherhood does not require public confession.
What happens when I miss a day or fall behind?
You reconnect. The point is not perfection. The point is learning to tell the truth, ask for support, simplify when needed and return to the practices instead of disappearing.
Is this therapy?
No. Fortis is coaching, formation, fitness and brotherhood. Deeper clinical or mental-health needs deserve appropriate professional support, and this program is not a substitute for that care.
Is this all online?
No. This founding cohort is local/hybrid. It includes physical training, community connection and live interaction. Exact gym access windows, live-session format, platform details and event schedule will be finalized before the cohort begins. Some of the physical and community experiences will be revealed at kickoff.

Harry “Boom” Shaw

I have spent most of my life helping people become stronger. Now the question is: stronger for what?

Fortis ad Amorem means Strong for Love. That is the point of the whole thing.

I have coached strength and performance, taught self-defense and defensive tactics, built businesses, and trained people who had to perform when pressure was real. Over time, the lesson got clearer: capability by itself is not enough. A man can be strong, successful and respected—and still be absent from his own life.

This work brings the pieces together: body, mind, faith, relationships, responsibility and brotherhood. Not to manufacture some new identity. To help you become more faithful with the man, the people and the life already entrusted to you.

Fortis ad Amorem • Strong for Love

You can keep waiting until life gets quieter. Or you can become the man who can carry it better.

Start with a conversation. No hard close. No pretending this is for everybody. We will talk about where you are, what you are carrying, and whether the founding twelve is the right room for you.
