Most men were never taught how to create safety inside the home. They were taught how to compete, survive, perform, endure pressure, and succeed publicly. But very few were taught how leadership must function privately.
The Unsafe by Design Study Guide was created to accompany the powerful book Unsafe by Design: What Men Weren’t Taught, But Need To Know and help men move beyond surface-level conversation into honest biblical self-examination and intentional rebuilding.
This is not a shallow men’s devotional. It is a 17-week confrontation with the realities of:
anger
emotional instability
pressure
inconsistency
passivity
leadership
stewardship
spiritual surrender
covenant responsibility
Designed for:
men’s groups
churches
discipleship settings
accountability groups
personal growth
recovery and rebuilding journeys
…this study guide helps men examine not simply who they intended to be, but what their leadership is actually producing.
Each week includes:
Opening discussions
Group conversation prompts
Scripture exploration
Private reflection questions
Practical leadership application
Biblical examination of governed masculinity
Topics include:
Physical Safety — Can she trust your rage?
Environmental Safety — Can she trust your regulation?
Emotional Safety — Can she trust your reactions?
Covenant Safety — Can she trust your reliability?
Financial Safety — Can she trust your responsibility?
Spiritual Safety — Can she trust your ruling?
Intimate Safety — Can she trust your selflessness?
Throughout the study, men are challenged to confront difficult but necessary questions:
What atmosphere follows my presence?
What patterns have I inherited?
What does it actually feel like to live around me?
Am I creating peace…or pressure?
Built on Scripture, accountability, and practical application, this guide is designed to help men:
rebuild trust
govern their strength
stabilize their homes
break generational patterns
lead with biblical intentionality
become safe, steady, and spiritually grounded leaders
Because homes are not made safe by good intentions alone. They are made safe by design.
