What is Freedom Council?

Freedom Council is a private brotherhood of men committed to growing in their faith, strengthening their families, building Kingdom impact and becoming the leaders God has called them to be. It’s open to men who attended a Launching Pad or completed KMA.

Warning

This is not another online course you won’t use.

Most men are fighting battles they were never meant to fight alone. They carry the weight of leadership, marriage, fatherhood, finances and faith while feeling isolated.

It’s a community of men sharpening men.

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

2 Corinthians 3:17

The founder

Meet your host.

Steve Weatherford is a Super Bowl champion, former NFL punter, entrepreneur and the founder of Champions in Christ. After achieving the pinnacle of worldly success, Steve realized that true fulfillment and identity are only found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.

He created Freedom Council to give men the brotherhood, accountability and discipleship he wished he had during his own journey. His mission is to help men break free from isolation, step into their God given authority and lead their families with conviction and purpose.

The arsenal

What you get inside.

Everything you need to grow in faith, lead your family and build a lasting legacy.

  • Weekly brotherhood calls

    Powerful teaching, practical leadership principles and real conversations that help men win in every area of life. Every Tuesday at 12 PM Central.

  • Exclusive trainings

    Access to discipleship content, leadership development, personal growth teachings and Kingdom focused strategies.

  • Accountability and support

    Surround yourself with men who encourage you, challenge you and help you stay aligned with God's calling.

  • The private community

    One of the greatest lies the enemy tells men is that they have to do life alone. Ask questions, share victories, request prayer, build friendships and find accountability partners.

  • Featured speakers and guests

    Regular teachings from leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes and pastors living out their faith at a high level: faith and ministry, business, marriage and family, leadership, personal growth, health and fitness.

  • The replay library

    Missed a Tuesday? Every call you can join live is also waiting for you in the replay library inside your Champions Hub.

Impact

Real brotherhood. Real results.

  • “I found a brotherhood I didn't know I needed.”

    For years I felt isolated. Freedom Council connected me with men who genuinely care, challenge me and help me stay focused on Christ.

  • “My marriage and leadership changed.”

    The principles and accountability inside Freedom Council helped me become a better husband, father and leader.

  • “I finally found my tribe.”

    The community, coaching and discipleship have been life changing. I'm no longer trying to figure everything out on my own.

  • “I've never grown this much in my faith.”

    Being surrounded by other men pursuing Jesus has transformed my walk with God.
