TrueManhood is Catholic
TrueManhood Men’s Ministry is Catholic, meaning that the ministry is faithful to the authority of the successor of St. Peter, Pope Benedict XVI, and to the Magisterium, the teaching authority of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, founded by Jesus Christ in Jerusalem in year 33 A.D.
For any questions that you may have about Catholicism, please email the TrueManhood staff at Info@TrueManhood.com.
Fighting Cultural Manliness
Society makes suggestions to us, either directly or indirectly, about what’s manly and what’s not. Typically, society paints a picture that “cultural manliness” stems from all or part of the following: POWER, MONEY, SEX and STUFF.

FYI – Tiger Woods and Jesse James are NOT what we are shooting for… they’re the antithesis of a TrueMan. They live for sex and money, it’s quite evident in their lifestyle and how they are portrayed in society. They’re empty shells, hollowed out by years of promiscuity and searching for the almighty dollar. Having lots of sex and money isn’t leading anyone towards Christ, our ultimate goal. A TrueMan strives for virtue, “and the greatest of these is love.” TrueMan up!
Finding Freedom from Porn Addiction
Although it may seem like there will never be freedom from your addiction to pornography, you can rest assured, knowing that there is hope. I’m a walking testimony to the power that the Lord provides a man when he seeks assistance. Freedom awaits you! Freedom, however, does not come free. The road ahead will most likely be long and troubled; continue to fight everyday. For more information on fighting an addiction to pornography, simply search the word “porn” in the site search box. For additional assistance, email the TrueManhood staff at ContactUs@TrueManhood.com.

For Women
This site may appear, at first glance, to be strictly for men, manly men. However, a reality to a man being a TrueMan is based on his relationships with and treatment of women.
As a woman looks through this site, they see the material from a completely different view than a man does. A woman sees it through the lens of femininity. Some of the material on this site may not make sense to a woman, some of it may make way too much sense to her.
I invite women to take a look through this section of the site, it’s here for you.

Guide to Virtue
Virtue is the key component to manliness. The Latin word for virtue is virtus, meaning manliness. In order for a male to be a TrueMan, he must possess virtue. Because virtue cannot be partially possessed, all males must strive to obtain virtue. This guide should aid in understanding and should be a first-step. TrueManhood.com encourages all males to begin the journey toward virtue, with continued education and work! Strive for virtue.
Speaking
Book Dave to speak at your event, parish, retreat, school, conference or group!
As a leader in Catholic men’s ministry, Dave has tirelessly devoted his life to building up men for God. Dave aggressively battles the modern idea that “cultural manliness” (power, money, sex and stuff) is what defines a man and encourages men to live virtuous lives for Christ. Dave has spoken to men ranging in age from 8 to 88… his presentations are both relevant and challenging for all listeners. There’s no better or more dynamic speaker for men’s groups today.
Dave also aggressively battles the difficult topic of pornography addiction. As a recovering porn addict of 18 years, Dave knows all-too-well the unyielding grip that mortal sin can have on a man. In a real-life, practical way, Dave equips men with the tools, resources and how-to plan to seek and obtain freedom from this addictive beast. With the help of the Holy Spirit and grace from the Sacraments, other men can experience the freedom that Dave now has. Whether your group is a men’s breakfast group, a conference or retreat, a Knights of Columbus council, a Boy Scout troop or something in between, Dave’s presentations will blow you away.
