Join 300,000+ Men Worldwide
Exodus 90 is formation with concrete challenges for prayer and discipline, guided by excellent teachers and the support of real-life brotherhood.
St. Michael’s Lent with Fr. Columba Jordan begins August 12th.
Exodus 90
We believe every man has something to gain from Exodus 90.
It could be something you do once or something you do every year.
All we ask is that you don’t do it alone. Fraternity is powerful. We hope you can experience it for yourself.
Over the past 11 years, we’ve heard amazing stories from thousands of men who have been radically changed by their Exodus 90 experience.
Our upcoming challenge is the 40 days of St. Michael’s Lent. I hope you can join us.

Why We Do it
In doing something difficult, you will find you are capable of more than you expect. Through prayer and fasting, with the support of a fraternity, you will be equipped to encounter the Lord, remove distractions and grow in friendship.
We hold back so much for ourselves. Our time, our love, our money. After a while, it gets old. It’s a road to nowhere. Giving everything unlocks who we can be.
There’s no way around it. This may be the hardest thing you’ve ever done. None of us will do it perfectly. God’s not asking you for perfection, He’s asking you for everything.
Christ gave meaning to sacrifice. In the footsteps of our Blessed Lord, we imitate his complete gift of self. His radical gift of love is our model for what manhood should look like.
It could be playing golf with new friends. It could be wrestling with your kids. It could be changing your own oil. You can’t have the adventure without the challenge.
The Exodus 90 app will guide you through formation, asceticism, prayer and fraternity check-ins.
The app follows the liturgical calendar and incorporates Human, Spiritual, Intellectual, and Apostolic formation from world-class guides.
Formation
Your guide will offer wisdom from experience for your journey. Listen or read daily reflections in the Exodus 90 app.
Asceticism
Asceticism means “training.” Our disciplines are not the point. They help us to train for the moments that matter in our lives. Through asceticism, we make space for God.
Prayer
Each day we dive deeper into prayer. Not just memorized prayer, but sitting in silence and letting God speak to you.
Fraternity
Exodus 90 was meant to do with other men. It may be hard to find other men to join you, but brotherhood is worth the effort.
Invite
Begin
Your first step is asking a few men in your life to join you for the journey. They can be friends, classmates, neighbors, siblings—it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t hurt to ask.
P.S. We’ve learned most men say yes when asked to join an Exodus 90 fraternity.
Exodus 90 is an opportunity to give everything in a way you haven’t done before.
Exodus 90 helps men grow in personal freedom. Through ancient Catholic practices of prayer, asceticism, and fraternity, we grow in our identity as sons of God, we receive the love of the Father more fully, and we seek to respond generously to his call for our lives. Over the past ten years, 99% of men report experiencing greater freedom, and a positive impact upon their practice of the faith. Exodus 90 is designed for men looking to set aside the comforts and distractions of our time, and to grow in the freedom of the sons of God.
It’s simple. Download the Exodus 90 app from the App Store or Google Play Store. Listen to today’s reflection. And invite a few friends to join you for the journey.
No, the Exodus 90 app offers daily formation for men. We follow the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, entering more fully into the ancient cycles of fasting and feasting offered to us by the Church. Immediately following Exodus 90, we begin Easter 50, which supports men in living in the joy of the Resurrection for the full 50 days of the Easter season. We support the personal formation of men every day of the year.
The fraternity is a sacred space for men. It’s a place to be honest about who you are, what you’re going through, and how you believe the Lord is working in your life. During Exodus 90, the fraternity meeting is one time per week and takes 30-60 minutes. We offer a weekly meeting guide on the app, which structures your weekly meeting with prayer, personal check-in’s, and announcements. In addition, each man is paired with an “anchor,” which is one man in the group he checks-in with briefly each day on the app. After Exodus 90, you decide with your fraternity how often you would like to meet together, but we encourage you to continue to journey together as you can.
Exodus 90 is best in-person in local fraternities of 4-6 men, either in your parish or local community.
Pray about who you should invite, and don’t say “no” for anyone. You’ll be surprised by who says yes to your invitation! If you still can’t find anyone, you can search for local communities near you in the Community tab of the app. Or, you can search for remote fraternities forming on the app to join other men remotely.
Exodus 90 is challenging, but it’s not too intense.
The experience opens us up to God, asking for the power of his grace, and also provides the support and encouragement of other men in our fraternities.
The world, the flesh, and the devil are powerful foes. And freedom is hard. Exodus 90 provides a structure to help us to become the men we were created to be for our time.
Don’t worry. There is no such thing as a perfect Exodus, and the path to the promised land is not a straight shot for anyone. The Israelites struggled in the desert, and so will we.
If you have pre-existing health conditions, or your job or stage of life make any of the disciplines unrealistic, that’s okay. Set them aside, and share that with the men of your fraternity.
Yes! Every Sunday and Solemnity, which are little Easters on which we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we relax disciplines in celebration. We encourage each man to relax one discipline that will make these holy days true celebrations.
It’s important to remember that it’s your Exodus, and not that of your your spouse or children. Though there are a few sacrifices to make on the journey, Exodus 90 is designed to bless your family.
During Exodus 90, there are a few additions we make to our schedules: 1. we seek to pray for an hour per day or at least 20 minutes when that’s not possible; 2. we meet with a fraternity one time per week for 30-60 minutes; and 3. we exercise three times per week. It’s on you to structure your day, but consider taking this time early in the morning or late at night, so that you don’t have to take any time away from your family. Though it may feel like you don’t have time for these practices, most men save considerable time (2-4 hours per day) by reducing their distractions.
On Wednesdays and Fridays, like the early Christians, we fast and abstain from meat. We provide a few recipes to help with meal inspiration on these days (No Meat Meals ). We encourage you to help with these meals, but if you forget about abstaining from meat on a given day, we encourage you to eat what’s before you and try again next time.
During Exodus 90, we abstain from unnecessary technology use including sports, movies, and entertainment. If your family watches TV together as a habit, offer an alternative that’s more personal like reading out loud, board games, or playing music. If that just won’t work, it’s fine to follow your family customs and watch tv together.
That’s understandable. It’s important to communicate what the experience entails with your spouse before beginning, and to have her support. Check-in with her throughout to see if there are adjustments you need to make for your family along the way. If you do not have the support of your spouse, for whatever reason, there’s no shame in setting Exodus 90 aside for now. The app can still support your daily personal formation.
Most men find that they save 2-4 hours per day by limiting their distractions. The men who take this time and reinvest it into their family relationships have the best outcomes.
You are most welcome to join us! We have many men who join from Orthodox Churches, and other Christian denominations. We also have a number of men who don’t practice a faith, but are seeking the truth. You don’t need to be a Catholic to join us, but you must be at peace that we teach with conviction from the fullness of the Catholic faith for men today.
