The Mission

Christ at the center. The captain in command.

This isn't a chatbot bootcamp. It's leadership formation. We teach men how to use AI without losing themselves to it. Every week opens and closes in Scripture. AI drafts. The captain decides.

At Home

Husband, father, brother. Tools serve the home; they never compete with it.

In Business

Solo founder, steward of time. Leverage as a tithe of time, not a brag.

In Ministry

Captain, servant, multiplier. Train the next captain (2 Tim 2:2).

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding (or your tools)." — Proverbs 3:5–6 ↗
The Framework

The Armada Theme.

Seven themes orbit the captain. Each week, one moves to center.

The Family Captain Armada — 7-week framework (Vision, Body, Spiritual, Husbanding, Fathering, Finance, Sabbath)

Each week's section page features that week's themed Armada view.

How It Works

From your phone. No second app to install.

Most men already have Telegram. If you don't, it's a free 60-second install. The whole bootcamp runs in a private channel — no Mighty Networks, no Discord, no Slack, no tier-3 SaaS to learn.

STEP 1

Join the channel

One tap. t.me invite link. Private, free, no email gate.

STEP 2

Read the pinned index

The bootcamp map is the pinned message. Materials and W1.T1 are pinned right behind it.

STEP 3

Ship a task

20-30 minutes. Open the PDF, do the action, react ✓ on the post when shipped.

STEP 4

Drop a one-liner

Tap Comments — Telegram auto-routes you to the linked discussion group. Iron sharpens iron.

The Path

Seven weeks. One captain.

Each week drops three tasks. Each task ships an artifact. By Week 7, every captain leaves with a signed Captain's Charter and a person they've taught.

Optional depth track: 49 ninety-second Captain's Drills run alongside the main tasks. Skip without guilt — the drill is the rep, not the workout.

The 21 Tasks

Tap any task to preview it.

Each tile below opens that task's one-page PDF — the same page a captain sees during the cohort. The cohort itself runs in the Telegram channel; this page is the front door.

What captains see during the cohort

The full bootcamp runs in a private Telegram channel. The bootcamp index is pinned; tasks drop Mon/Wed/Fri as channel posts with the PDF attached. Captains react ✓ when they ship and drop a one-line comment in the linked discussion group — that's where iron sharpens iron.

No second app to install. No funnel. Just the channel link, the bootcamp index pinned, and the captain's actions stacking.

What "shipped" means

You did the task. Imperfect actions count. Captain's actions stack.

Heartbeat posts in the cohort feed celebrate what shipped, name what slipped — never grade.
