You've set goals before-only to fall short and justify why you couldn't follow through.
You might tell yourself it's because you're too busy, or that circumstances made it impossible. But deep down, you know these are just excuses.
Year after year, you're left feeling stuck, disappointed, and disconnected from the man you want to be. It's time to face the facts and break the cycle.
Herd 90 is an exercise in self leadership. We will not hold your hand, but we will give you the tools to be successful. At the end of the day, completing it is on you.
You can start Herd 90 at any point throughout the year, but there something special about doing this with a group of Men leading up to Easter.
Dates: January 5 - April 4
This year we chose to read through Exodus and Isaiah because it feels like men need clarity and direction right now. These books show how God rescues, forms, and calls men to lead.
If you’re new to reading the Bible, the Gospels are the best place to start because they show the heart of God through the life of Jesus and help anchor everything else you’ll read in Scripture.
Some of y’all might see this and start the same day, but a little preparation goes a long way on a 90 day journey.
Make sure you have what you need to accomplish the goals you set and remove every possible excuse for when it gets tough.

Integrity is doing what you said that you were going to do. No one will know if you cheat…but, aren’t you tired of having that be the secret theme of your life. Make a choice, and then, let your yes be yes and your no be no.
If 90 days is too much, start with 60., or even 30. The principal is the same...make a commitment to yourself, and stick to it even when it's hard and uncomfortable.
1. Read Your Bible
2. Pray
3. Journal
4. Act of Kindness
5. Fast From A Habit
6. No Alcohol, Tobacco, or Weed
7. Drink One Gallon of Water
8. Two 45 Minute Workouts, One Needs To Be Outdoors.
9. Take a Daily Picture to Record Your Progress
One of the goals of the Herd is for men to develop all the parts of their life. Jesus identified these as heart, soul, mind and strength.
Every task in Herd 90 is assigned to one of these quadrants, although they might fit in multiple quadrants because they are all connected, overlap, and influence the others.
By developing all quadrants rather than concentrating on just one and missing how it affects the others, this program gives you a holistic approach to transforming your entire life instead of just getting in better shape.
Participating in Herd 90 will help you grow spiritually, become more mentally tough, achieve physical goals, and become more emotionally aware.
Do I have to start over even if I accidentally skip one daily requirement?
The idea is 90 consistent days of transformation. That said, don't let one failure keep you from moving forward with integrity. Only you can decide how you execute this, but the point is building resilience, dedication and self-discipline.
Can I modify any of the requirements?
In the past our answer for this has been no because this program is set up to be able to be accomplished by anyone... and we still encourage you to try and complete the program as is. With that in mind, a modified program is better than no program at all.
How do you find time for two workouts a day?
Most of us will have to make time instead of finding it. That might mean waking up an hour earlier, sacrificing a lunch break, or going on a walk after the kids go to bed...or better yet, take the entire family on a walk with you.
Is this safe to do if I don't work out?
Absolutely, the workouts don't have to be lifting weights at the gym. Just intentionally move for 45 minutes. Get your heart rate going, break a sweat, and move your body.
I'm currently on a specific diet, can I still do Herd 90?
You bet. The only dietary restrictions are no cheat meals and no alcohol, the rest is up to you. It could be as simple as giving up fast food for 90 days. Regardless of what diet you choose, make sure it's trackable and sustainable. For example, "eat less sugar" is not a trackable diet, instead try something like "eat less than 20 grams of sugar a day".
