We curate deep conversations For Men,
centered on Faith, Fatherhood, and Work.
For many, the role and responsibility of a man in today’s cultural landscape has become increasingly difficult to clearly define.
In years past, what was expected of men didn’t seem as complex as they are today. Traditional beliefs were often viewed as the norm, not the exception. Even within the faith community today, there’s a breadth of perspectives on this conversation. The result? Many men are seeking a deeper understanding of their identity, their purpose, and their unique place and responsibility in the world. We see this as good, because we believe it’s rooted in scripture.
If we look to the teachings of scripture, we see that man is created in God’s image, the Imago Dei. And as followers of Jesus, we’re sons, adopted into the family of grace. This truth has not changed from generations before us, nor will it change in the future. This voice, Kinsmen, is our thoughtful, yet imperfect approach to infuse the current cultural narrative with a redemptive lens, properly anchored first in who God says that we are.
We’ve chosen the themes of Faith, Fatherhood and Work as the primary starting points for conversation and meaningful dialogue, and our publication, podcast, and curated gatherings expound on these necessary topics as we intentionally build community here locally and across the country.
I’m honored you’d join in,

Our Vision
“New wineskins for our modern day.”
We’ve been preparing the soil for nearly seven years, learning more about what’s happening in the lives of men in our present day. Overwhelmingly we came to the conclusion that men desire to be more engaged with their faith and its influence in their everyday lives. Whether individually or in a group setting, men are eager to live out their faith in both practical and inspiring ways. Our vision is to give language to the conversations men want to have regarding their faith, who they are as fathers and husbands, and the unique God-given assignment each have for their work and vocation. This video is how we’re doing to do it.
FAITH. FATHERHOOD. WORK.
A Podcast with Peter Ostapko
We’re inviting men to lead lives of transformative faith, redemptive fatherhood, and honoring work.
