What Every Man A Warrior, Inc. does

Every Man A Warrior, Inc. (EMAW) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit religious organization incorporated in Nebraska and headquartered in Lincoln, NE. Founded by Lonnie Berger, a former Navigators staff member with over 38 years of discipleship experience, EMAW produces and distributes a structured Bible study curriculum for men. Since launching in the fall of 2011 after field testing with more than 500 men across 20 states, the curriculum has reached an estimated 100,000+ men across 65 countries and 27 languages, with 85,000+ books sold or distributed. The core offering is a four-book series: Books One through Three provide 28 lessons covering foundational spiritual disciplines (Quiet Time, Scripture meditation, prayer, application) and practical life topics (money, marriage, raising children, sex, work, hardship, purpose); Book Four ("Every Man A PURE Warrior") adds 17 lessons addressing pornography and sexual purity through the WWW A MAP framework.

The ministry operates through three interconnected product and technology surfaces: (1) printed and downloadable curriculum with leader guides, worksheets, completion certificates, and scripture memory materials; (2) a mobile "EMAW Quiet Time" app to support daily devotional practice; and (3) audio/video training content plus radio broadcasts ("Champions Arise" produced with Trans World Radio and "The Warrior Minute" spots) for broader reach. Distribution is channel-led: direct e-commerce through everymanawarrior.com, a separate Canadian storefront at emawcanada.com, and broadcast distribution through the TWR network into 190 countries.

EMAW's business model is a hybrid nonprofit funding structure. Revenue sources include tax-deductible donations with suggested monthly tiers from $30 to $1,000, one-time book and merchandise sales (with bulk pricing at $30/set for orders of 20+), and program partnerships. The ministry joined Trans World Radio in September 2017, with Berger concurrently serving as Global Director of TWR Men's Ministry; The Navigators is a longstanding operational partner. Customer segments span individual men seeking discipleship, churches and pastors adopting men's ministry curricula, prison inmates, and Spanish-speaking populations. Go-to-market is community-led via church-based small groups, augmented by event-driven Zoom trainings and channel-partner-driven international rollout.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• RightNow Media: Large streaming Bible-study library with thousands of video studies across many topics including men's ministry. Competes for church subscription budgets with a broader catalog but overlapping audience.

Direct peers

• Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ): Global interdenominational Christian ministry focused on discipleship and leadership development. Comparable in producing structured discipleship materials for small groups and in scaling across diverse geographies.
• Bible Study Fellowship (BSF): International, multi-denominational Bible study organization offering structured weekly lessons with discussion groups. Comparable to EMAW in curriculum-driven group discipleship, global reach, and church-based adoption model.
• The Navigators: Global Christian discipleship organization and EMAW's explicit long-standing partner. Both run structured small-group discipleship curricula and leader training, with shared founder history (Lonnie Berger spent 38+ years at The Navigators), making them highly comparable in model and target audience.
• Promise Keepers: Men's ministry organization that mobilizes men through events, small groups, and church-based programs targeting marriage, integrity, and spiritual leadership — directly overlapping EMAW's mission and church-customer base.
• Watermark Resources: Produces church discipleship curricula including men's ministry content from Watermark Community Church; targets the same church buyers as EMAW with small-group discipleship tools.
• Iron Sharpens Iron: Men's ministry network hosting conferences and providing church-based resources for men's discipleship and leadership — competes for the same pastor and men's ministry leader audience as EMAW.
• Authentic Manhood (33 The Series): Video-based men's small-group curriculum produced by Provident Films / Authentic Manhood; competes head-to-head with EMAW for church men's ministry budgets using a similar video-plus-discussion-group model.
• Man in the Mirror: Church-based men's discipleship ministry offering curriculum, training, and resources for pastors to build men's ministry in their local church — a direct competitor in the men's small-group discipleship category.

Emerging players

• FamilyLife: Cru subsidiary focused on marriage and family discipleship resources. Adjacent to EMAW (which addresses marriage and parenting in Books 2–3) with shared donor/audience overlap but a different primary focus.
