A standard for forming whole men — in body, in mind, and in soul.

Firebearer publishes the lists. It does not train you and it does not keep your record. Work through any of it alone, starting today, and keep your own count.

Nothing here is conferred. A standard met alone is a standard met alone. It becomes something when a man who already holds it watches you meet it and says so — and that happens in person, in a small group, where you live.

The list is here. The witness is there.

• The BodyThe color ladder. Six rungs. Meet every mark to rise; keep meeting them to hold.
• The BooksThe reading list. Begun, not finished.
• The FilmsWorth the evening.

This is the beginning of a curriculum, published as it is written. There is nothing to join and no one is being recruited. If you want to know what the word means, start with what a firebearer is.
