Testimonials
God has used MOV to show me a whole new life, and it has helped me have and build a relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God has changed my heart, mind, and soul. He used MOV to do it. JESUS SAVES AND RESTORES, and my life is a testimony of his goodness.
From a broken young man seeking purpose, to a redeemed servant of Christ—Men of Valor helped guide my journey. Now I serve as Program Director. All glory to God!
I met a man named Jesus while in a prison cell. He gave me a crown of Beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
Men of Valor Academy provides invaluable opportunities for its students through partnerships with local businesses, offering pathways to employment and equipping them with the skills necessary to become productive members of society. Thank you for your faith in and commitment to providing opportunities for men like me who are striving for a better future.

CYMI Knoxville — here’s your 2026 recap.
What happened wasn’t just an event. It was a room full of real stories, real brotherhood, and real transformation.
Men standing up. Chains breaking. Hope getting loud.
If you were there, you felt it.
If you missed it, don’t make that mistake again.
Watch the recap. Be reminded what’s possible. Be part of what’s building.
This is only the beginning.
May 1
Men of Valor staff recently had the opportunity to speak with students at @providencechristianacademy in Murfreesboro. Michael, Landon, and Tevin shared their stories and challenged students on the power of the choices they make.
Afterward, many students came forward to connect, expressing a genuine desire to make an impact for Christ in their generation.
It was a powerful morning, and we’re encouraged by what we see in this next generation. Young men and women ready to live with purpose and lead with conviction.

Over the past few months at Men of Valor, we’ve had the privilege of witnessing something real.
Moments of fellowship that turned into brotherhood.
Conversations that went deeper than the surface.
Laughter that carried weight because of everything behind it.
And alongside it all, men stepping forward and graduating. Not just completing a program, but marking a shift. Choosing a different way to live.
These moments matter. Not because they’re big or loud, but because they’re honest.
Growth you can see.
Connection you can feel.
Lives moving in a new direction.
This is what happens when men show up for each other.
This is what restoration looks like in motion.
And we’re just getting started.

Link in Bio! As we prepare for this year’s Men of Valor Annual Breakfast events in Nashville and Knoxville, we are excited to open a limited-time Men of Valor Online Store for our friends and supporters.
Through a partnership with Authentically American , a veteran-owned, American-made apparel company, we are offering a small collection of high-quality Men of Valor-branded apparel, including polos, quarter zips, hoodies, hats, and beanies.
These items are offered at cost and are NOT part of our fundraising efforts. Instead, the goal is simple: to give friends of the ministry a meaningful way to represent Men of Valor in everyday life.
When you wear Men of Valor apparel, it often opens the door to conversations about the life-changing work happening through our ministry. Each day, we walk alongside men impacted by incarceration through Christ-centered discipleship in prisons and jails, and through continued support at the Valor Way Residential Re-entry Academy, where men rebuild their lives through faith, employment, restored relationships, and stable housing.
Your support helps share this story of hope and transformation throughout our community.
The store will be open for a limited time from today through April 20, so we encourage you to place your order soon.

Thank you for standing with Men of Valor and for helping spread the word about the work God is doing through this ministry.
With gratitude,
Men of Valor

Under the flag, in the open air, asking the question that changes everything:
Who is Jesus?
Not a surface answer. Not what we’ve heard. What we actually believe.
These men are in the middle of 30 days that can reset a life. Stripping it down. Wrestling with truth. Facing what’s real instead of what’s familiar.
No stage. No spotlight. Just honest questions, open hearts, and the willingness to confront it head on.
This is where change starts.
