The weekly group rhythm

Rhythms that build awareness, healing, and brotherhood.

423 Men groups are built around witnessing community: brotherhood that helps men grow in awareness, honesty, sobriety, and healing. Men are not simply handed information; they are invited into a relational rhythm where they can be known, challenged, prayed for, and supported over time.

  • Witnessing community that helps men name what has been hidden.
  • Brotherhood that supports awareness, honesty, repentance, and repair.
  • Discipleship community that works through rhythms of clinical, spiritual, and relational healing.
  • Practical next steps that help recovery become a way of life.

A word for you

You are not alone.

If you feel stuck in shame, secret sin, or patterns you cannot seem to break, I want you to hear this: there is hope. Jesus has not forgotten you, and neither have we.

Freedom does not come from trying harder. It comes from truth, grace, courageous honesty, and learning to take the next right step with other men who understand the road. You were created for more than what you have been carrying.

Take the next right step today. We will meet you with grace, confidentiality, and a community of men who get it.

About Joel Warneking

Joel Warneking has worked in recovery for more than 12 years and currently serves as President of 423 Communities, a national recovery ministry helping men find freedom from sexual brokenness, betrayal, shame, and fractured identity.

Joel’s work is shaped by a deep integration of Scripture, biblical counseling, sexual addiction recovery coaching, storywork, and a clinically informed understanding of how trauma, attachment wounds, family systems, and unwanted sexual behaviors intersect. For over a decade, he has walked with men as they name what has been hidden, understand why their stories make sense, and begin building a more integrated life.
