Men constantly experience difficult seasons. And for some God-awful reason, we believe it makes us less “manly” to actually discuss our hardships with each other and try to find a place of healing. So Steven Woodson and Keith Parker decided to create the Congratulations! Network. Now that you've found us, you get to become part of a community. A group of elevated and enlightened men, who aren't afraid to express their emotions and still stand tall. We own our mistakes and rewrite our stories. We treat everyone with kindness and face our demons with a ferocity that the Greek gods would have admired. So Congratulations, guys, and get ready to write the best chapters of your life.
