Captains Before Kings 

9-Week Reentry Focused Workbook

Restoring Identity. Rebuilding Purpose. Releasing the Leader Within.

Captains Before Kings is a deeply practical and spiritually grounded workbook created to help men navigate the transition from incarceration back into community life with clarity, confidence, and emotional strength.

Built around real-life scenarios, reflection questions, psychological principles, and purpose-based leadership teaching, this 9-week journey equips men to:

What the Workbook Helps Men Do

  • Rebuild self-worth after years of setbacks

  • Break cycles tied to anger, fear, and comparison

  • Strengthen emotional intelligence

  • Develop discipline and consistent habits

  • Understand healthy relationships

  • Identify triggers and create safer responses

  • Build a plan for employment, finances, and stability

  • Reconnect with spiritual identity

  • Step into leadership — at home, in work, and in community

Why This Workbook Matters

Reentry is more than returning home.
It’s returning whole.

Most men leave prison with:

  • limited support

  • emotional wounds

  • identity confusion

  • pressure to “figure it out alone”

  • shame that keeps them isolated

This workbook creates a safe structure where men can unpack what they've been carrying and rebuild a foundation that lasts.

Who This Is For

  • Reentry facilities

  • Chaplaincy departments

  • Transitional housing

  • Halfway houses

  • Men’s ministries

  • Community programs

  • Youth aging-out programs

  • Mentorship groups

Built for Real Transformation

Each week includes:

  • Real-life scenarios

  • Rich stories that feel like a movie

  • Self-reflection & accountability questions

  • Affirmations

  • Scripture grounding

  • Personal action steps

  • A “Captain’s Assignment”

This isn’t just a workbook — it’s a 9-week leadership conversion.
