“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”
― Jesus Christ, Gospel of Thomas
Brother,
In today’s video I unpack this quote from Jesus Christ to show how it speaks to the core of the struggles of modern men.
I deeply recommend watching the video if you are a man who wants clarity on the heart of what men are called to be and do on Earth at this time.
In a phrase: Turn yourself inside out.
Bring forth what is within you.
Penetrate life with your loving creatorship.
Be an ordering principle.
Naturally guide all who meet you back home to the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
The through-line. The tao. The pattern. The middle way beyond all extremes.
Become a thriving God-led King living your fullest life of holistic mastery.
This is the essence of what we train men to do within Council of Kings.
We do not simply give men information.
We shape, sculpt, form, and initiate Heart-led Kings through deep experiences of brotherhood, truth, and transformation.
This happens on our retreats and in our ongoing weekly councils — which have been continuous, week in and week out, since 2022.
Not many leadership organizations can claim that depth of consistency.
And that consistent drumbeat does something. It keeps the group field ripe, charged, and potentiated. Over time we are charging and cultivating a shared field of volcanic Godforce. A shared wisdom-field of empowering love-magma.
If that sounds overly ‘woo,’ go read what men say about Council of Kings. Feel what the men are expressing about the real impact this container has on their lives. Feel why men keep training with us for years on end and invite other growth-driven men to join us. We believe in what we are doing here. We know it’s real.
How many organizations can truly say that in this age of shallowness, falseness, and fakery?
Become a thriving God-led King living your fullest life of holistic mastery.
Feel the meaning of this sentence, brother.
Feel it pulsing within you.
Feel the naturalness of rooting to the core of Gaia and erupting like a mighty Sequoia toward the Heavens — in full-hearted masculine penetration of life, serving all that is good, true, noble, worthy, innocent, and beautiful.
This is not a nice-sounding bumper sticker.
Dare I say this is the truth of your heart’s deepest calling as a man.
Your life is not random. Reality is not random. We are not meant to remain acorns.
There is a path. A way. A Logos.
It expresses itself differently through every man — that is part of God’s multiferous design, glorious in its diversity and multidimensionality.
God does not wish to make you like someone else. God wishes to make you like you.
The most You you’ve ever been.
That’s what it feels like to align with the Pattern — with the objective Truth of life.
Yes, I’m going there, brother.
In our age of endless postmodern hedging and relativism…
I am literally saying there is an objective Truth of your existence.
It beats your Heart right now.
When you align ever more fully with that Truth, brother, you beam like the Sun.
You know why you are on this Earth.
(Hint: It’s not really about you.)
You know you are here to leave it all on the court.
You know you are here to turn yourself inside out and pour forth your Whole Heart into this world — to become a cascading waterfall of self-giving Love.
This is the way, brother.
It’s utterly simple, but of course it’s not easy.
If it were easy, every man would be doing it.
Real spirituality demands something of you.
It asks you to make sacrifices.
It invites you to seal the leaks, burn the boats, speak difficult truths, and cut off what is not truly of service to the Whole.
This runs against the grain of much ‘new age’ hedonism in spiritual cosplay…
And neo-advaitan “there’s no one here”-ness, which often disguises stagnation, hiding, and an inner refusal to fully land on Earth and give your damn life force to Earth and her children through heroic efforts of Love.
Brother…
You already know in your bones if Council of Kings is for you.
The question is whether or not you will act on that knowing.
Rise of Kings is your clear next step.
A 100-day initiation into mature Kingship.
100 days of turning yourself inside out and giving your gifts to life.
Your mind will try to come up with excuses not to do it.
And lovingly, your excuses are b******t.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
If you apply and are truly aligned and ready, we will find a way.
We begin April 1st.
You have 12 days left to apply.
Am I giving you a push right now?
Damn right I’m giving you a push.
Men often need a push to get moving on what truly matters.
F**k what I said last year when I wrote, “The more you sell it, the less I’m interested.” That was some weak-sauce, low-conviction energy. It contained good insights but it wasn’t the full picture.
Sure, like anyone, I dislike people trying to forcefully sell me some janky s**t I don’t need. And of course we’re surrounded by such garbage in 2026.
What I’m realizing though is that when something is Real and you know it’s Real, it deserves your full conviction and follow-through.
Some movements are actual Medicine for this Earth and they deserve to have gallons of lighter fluid dumped on top of them.
In the absence of a literal wildfire, what I have is an Apple computer and a global broadcasting system at my fingertips.
So watch me bring the FUEGO in this b***h.
Watch me beat down doors and shout it from the rooftops to f*****g CALL IN the brothers who are meant to Massively Level Up with this team.
Watch me become a Fisher of F*****g Men to penetrate the fog of malaise and stagnation to SPEAK TO MEN’S ACHING SOULS AND ACTIVATE THEY ASSES.
Watch me singe the goddamn stratosphere with a Bat Signal depicting a Rock Hard God Cock And Balls penetrating the Earth with pure benevolent Dragon Fire.
Watch me ravish Gaia into a bliss-permeated planetary orgasm simply by Doin’ My F****n’ Thang.
Watch me show these brothers how to Stand The F**k Behind Your Own Goddamn Legacy.
Watch me show these men how to Back Your Own Mother-Loving Heart.
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
I’m crying again now. A good sign.
Yes…
I’m speaking directly to you, brother, and I’m telling you that you need Council of Kings in your life.
Every man on Earth needs this. I’m serious. That’s how deeply I believe in what we’re doing here.
Every month you are passing without this depth of Sacred Fire, Alchemy, and Mirroring from God-led brothers…
Is a month you are missing out on a jetstream of Ancient Volcanic Godforce that would ignite your evolution to new heights and forge you into more of the man you truly are and want to be.
Every single man on Earth needs a damn good sacred men’s circle.
And Council of Kings is honestly in a category of its own.
I’ve explored many men’s circles and have not found one like this. It is in its own category; you won’t find another like it; and that is why it is un-price-ably valuable.
This is not ‘men’s work’ anymore. It is King Creatorship.
The Creation of Kings.
And of course everything hinges on how you show up for it.
We cannot do the work for you. We can create optimal conditions for you to heal, awaken, transfigure, alchemize, thrive, build, and step into your God-led King…
But you still need to take the action. You still need to summon the courage and devotion from somewhere deep inside your loins. You still need to f*****g care wholeheartedly about our children and grandchildren and shared life on this Earth.
And you can. And you will. Especially with a squadron of Kings holding you to your word and holding you to the fire as needed. Loving you exactly as you are in your innate wholeness and summoning you to claim your Kingly potential.
Every man needs this, but not every man is ready.
I’ve learned this more deeply over time.
Council of Kings is not for you (yet) if:
* You are deep in a victim mentality.
* You whine and complain a lot about your life.
* You think true masculinity is ‘toxic’ rather than sacred and deeply needed.
* You are snide, rude, cynical, overly entitled, or have a silver spoon up your ass.
* You spend a lot of time blaming others or ‘the system’ and are not ready to sack up and laser-focus on creating the life you’re called to lead.
* You are not ready to take absolute responsibility for your life.
* You are not ready to do whatever it takes within your integrity to create the outcomes you dream of.
* You are not trustworthy and not able to be true to your word.
* You are engaging in shady, violent, or unethical behavior in your life and are not prepared to stop.
* You are not able to attend a weekly two-hour Council ~80-90+% of the time.
* You do not understand the impact of investing in your own evolution.
* You are not ready to make sacrifices.
If this is you, dig deep, get your s**t together, and you’ll be ready in a later season.
I love you, brother.
Council of Kings is for you if three or more of these are true:
* You are a father or husband who is ready to be the best dad, partner, and family man he can be — or you know you are called toward marriage and fatherhood in the years to come
* You are a leader who has gone far in life but you’ve realized something is missing — you know you need to go deeper on the path of wisdom to truly give and receive life’s fullness, joy, grace, and aliveness
* You are a mystic, healer, artist, or shamanic individual who knows deep down that you need to activate your inner sacred masculine Leader and King if you are to fully live your truth and purpose
* You are a spiritual man overly polarized toward your feminine energy and know you will need your sacred masculine God-led power in order to truly bring forth the life you’re being called into
* You are a rebel who is gradually realizing your “f**k the matrix” attitude is incomplete — you’ve thrown ‘babies out with the bathwater’ and it’s time to heal your relationship with structure, authority, ancestry, tradition, hierarchy, order, leadership, kingliness, and the foundations of Western civilization
* You are on a deeply mystical or spiritual path and love the idea of an interpath, interfaith space where men openly explore the integral bridging of all authentic world wisdom traditions and streams — Christianity, Buddhism, Vedanta, Taoism, indigenous wisdom, entheogens, science, philosophy, and so on
* You know you’re meant for more in life but you feel lonely, cut off, or isolated — you sense that being part of the right group of like-hearted inspiring Brothers could change everything for you
* You are already walking with Christ, or returning to Christ, or have some faint inkling or curiosity about Christ — or perhaps you’re holding deep wounding or resistance in relation to your Christian upbringing but you still pray to God in your darkest hours and you know in your heart that something is calling you to heal your relationship with your ancestral tradition
* You know you have a deep mission and purpose on Earth, and in your heart you know you can’t do it alone (and don’t want to do it alone because it’s way more fun to do it together) — you are looking for a sacred incubator that can help you bring forth your life’s work
* You are an (aspiring) leader of men, mentor, coach, healer, facilitator, creator, builder, change-maker, regenerative catalyst, purpose-driven man, or conscious entrepreneur — you know the right Kingly Incubator would greatly help you dissolve blindspots, identify the truly high-leverage actions on your path, and courageously take those actions to build your legacy of real impact on Earth
* You are on a path of Holistic Mastery, excited by the idea of training everything: Mind, body, spirit, wealth, health, relationship, family stewardship, vocation, communication, assertiveness, healing, integration, embodiment, leadership, practical skills, adaptability, shamanic sensitivity, creativity, and more — the full spectrum of life, nothing off limits
* You are a simple man at heart who cherishes real brotherhood, friendship, and camaraderie with good men — you’re able to see the funny side of life, have some good laughs, and find deep joy in the process of becoming the men God calls us to be
Do you feel me, brother?
I can’t be more real than this.
I’m ripping my bloody heart-muscle out of my chest and squeezing it like a golden lemon, saturating and percolating its juices through your screen.
I’m bottling up majestic sulfuric flaming dragon fart-gas and auctioning it off on eBay for $777,777 per vial.
Okay maybe not that last one. Lol.
Really though bro…
Let’s go.
And to the brothers who are already in Council of Kings and have trained with us for ~years already…
I’m talking to you too.
This is our year. This is our decade. This is our century.
Let us claim it.
Let us sack the f**k up and be the Men we came here to be.
Long-term games with long-term brothers. Let’s rise.
This is a year to shatter limitations and expand beyond all bounds.
A year to melt shackles and cages in a blaze of raw dragon flame.
Why not?
Do you have something better to be doing?
“The world is yours,” as Nas declared.
The world is our oyster.
The world is our blank canvas.
What would happen if we truly gave a s**t about painting a masterpiece?
What would happen if we showed this planet how to move beyond war, set the kids free, and expand into the vaster benevolent echelons of co-creative possibility?
God dreams of so much more for us than our petty murderous squabbling and hideous desecration of life on Earth.
For real. Stated plainly with every fabric of my being:
Stop the violence, mankind. You are capable of so much more than this abominable child-trafficking, warmongering wickedness. Get your goddamn s**t together. It’s not that hard. Awaken from your slumber. Your Creator summons you to Be Better and Honor This Life.
Amen.
So…
Brother…
Are you with us?
If you’re still reading this, let me ask directly…
Will you go apply for Rise of Kings right now?
If not, what stops you?
I’d love to hear.
We still have some space left and I intend for the right men to be given those seats.
If it’s truly not for you at this time, I understand.
We want men who know they’re meant to be there.
Just do me a favor and get fully honest with yourself.
Is this the year everything changes?
Are you meant to be part of this?
If so, walk through the door, brother.
We can open the door, but we can’t walk through it for you.
At some point in life you have to meet the universe halfway.
God will extend His loving hand, but you still have to reach out and grab it.
Love For You,Jordan
