Are you ready to LIVE DIFFERENT?? Have you been hearing guys talk about Exodus 90? It's the ninety-day Catholic program for men. It's centered around three pillars of masculine spiritual formation: prayer, ascetism, and fraternity.
Also known as the "Cold Showers & Holy Hours" program!
"For men who want something more than the advertised Christian life."

Exodus 90 Cold Showers: Who's Idea Was That?
Who dreamt up this idea of cold showers? Nathaniel talks about the spiritual originator of Exodus 90, Fr. Brian Door. Fr. Door developed the first list of disciplines as a formation program for seminarians.
Fraternity: Nathaniel shares some Exodus 90 tie-ins with The Chosen television show. The fraternity of apostles wasn't always smooth sailing. Thanks, St. Matthew!
Why Center on the Exodus?
Why Exodus? Why not the Babylonian Captivity? Or riding on Noah's Ark? Nathaniel describes why the Exodus of the Israelites is especially powerful and relevant for the liberation and purification of men in today's world.
Every day of Exodus 90 brings a new reading and reflection from the Book of Exodus. Nathaniel wrote nearly all of these himself. He shares with us his insights into this slice of Scripture.
