RISE is an Unprecedented
Movement of Men
In its first year, RISE has transformed thousands of men’s lives all around the world. Parishes and groups have used the RISE 30-Day Challenge to cast a wide-net to all the men of the parish and bring them together into a common mission like never before.
It's easy to run a RISE Challenge! See below for the Planning Guide and other resources.
RISE: Fast Facts
What is it? RISE is a powerful 30-Day Challenge for men by Chris Stefanick. It is 30 days of videos and challenges done individually online, and with additional group meeting options using the Planning Guide below.
Each man is encouraged to do RISE with a "brother." This is a critical component to the challenge as it builds accountability and friendship based on a common mission.
What does it cost? The investment for each man is about $1/day. $37 gives them lifetime access to the challenge and membership in a community of thousands of men around the world. There's no cost to the parish.
Does it work? Yes! We've received over 12,000 comments from men already. Lives are being transformed in ways we never thought possible.
