Finding my Vocation

I have done Exodus three times in as many years and I hold that this is the kind of movement that will form the saints of our time. Going into my freshman year at NC State, God was acquainting me with suffering.

There was a major medical problem in my family and I had entered into a spiritual desolation in which God seemed far from me.

By His grace, I came to have an understanding of the theology of suffering and a desire for it. Then, He provided me with Exodus. The growth I saw in myself only left me with one question as Easter and Day 91 approached, “Why do we stop?”

I wrestled with this question for a few months and the answer came during a conversation with a Benedictine monk. He quoted the Rule of St. Benedict, “The life of a monk ought to be a continuous Lent.” (Chpt. 49)

I see this now as an early sign of my vocation, which I had been discerning for a year. I am now set to enter the Norbertine community of St. Michael’s Abbey in the Fall where, God-willing, I will one day be a priest.

Our Apostolate Promise

Since we started in 2015, more than 99% of men report experiencing greater freedom with Exodus 90. If you do not experience greater freedom, we will return your money upon request.

 

If you cannot afford the cost of a subscription at $90 per year, please contact a friendly member of our support team at support@exodus90.com. We don’t want financial need to keep a man from becoming an Exodus man. That’s our Apostolate Promise.

 

This year alone, more than 1,000 men received Exodus 90 subscriptions for free— because other men had their back! If you’ve found greater freedom, consider paying it forward by supporting our Apostolate Promise.

Because Exodus is not a 501(c)(3), your contribution is not tax-deductible, although your support could be the reason another man finally breaks free. Thanks for your support!
