5 Stages in a Man’s Life Testimonies

For many years, I’ve sensed the weight and necessity of true masculinity in our world today. But through the 5 Stages course, the Lord opened my eyes to something far deeper—the role and calling of masculinity within the Kingdom of God.
Paul writes in Titus 1 that an elder (the final stage of being a man) is someone who holds firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. Yet before that, we are given a picture of the kind of man who should be entrusted with such responsibility: above reproach, self-controlled, hospitable, upright, holy, and disciplined. These are not just qualifications for elders—they are a vision for what godly manhood looks like. They are milestones to pursue by faith.
The 5 Stages course brought structure and clarity to this pursuit. It helped me identify where I currently stand and what the next step of maturity in Christ looks like. Though the path is not easy, God has been faithful to strengthen me. Through His grace, others around me have gently affirmed the growth they’ve noticed—not to my credit, but to His glory.
Godly masculinity is an immensely powerful thing—because it reflects the strength, courage, and compassion of Christ Himself. When a man walks in step with the Spirit and in alignment with his God-given design, he becomes a force for the Kingdom: a defender of truth, a ruler, and a warrior for righteousness. Godly men are not passive—they are active, bold, and willing to lay down their lives for others, just as Christ did for us.
This kind of life can only be attained through the grace of God, by faith in Jesus Christ, and by walking daily in obedience to Him. None of this is for our own praise, but so that God may be glorified through us.

In today’s world, masculinity is under attack. Men are taught—often subtly—to be soft, passive, and fragile. That mindset shaped me more than I realized, leading to weakness in areas where I should have stood strong. Over time, this weakness led to stagnation, and in some areas, even spiritual death.
The 5 Stages of a Man’s Life exposed that drift. It reminded me that God calls men to strength—rooted in courage, responsibility, and obedience. This course lays a biblical foundation for true manhood, confronting the lies we’ve believed and replacing them with truth.
If the words “man” or “masculinity” stir up any confusion or negativity in you or if you have become passive, I highly recommend this course. But honestly, every man should do it.

Masculinity is under pressure worldwide, and at 21 years old, I can feel the battle raging within and around me. On one side, I see a tide of passivity pulling young men into laziness and escape, urging them to reject discipline, strength, and purpose, that what makes us men. On the other side, I see models of toxic masculinity — men driven by pride, dominance, and selfish ambition. The Five Stages of a Man’s Life opened my eyes to a better way: a vision of masculinity that is both courageous and compassionate, strong yet surrendered to Christ. It taught me that true masculinity means bearing responsibility, protecting the weak, and growing in wisdom and love.
One of the most helpful aspects of this course was how practical it made the journey of growth. I was able to identify areas where I was stuck in immaturity — places where I had never really been guided or challenged. With each stage, I could reflect on where I was, where my wounds lay, and where God wanted to take me. The course didn’t just give theory; it gave me language, tools, and hope for how to move forward.
What I appreciated most was that it gave me momentum to grow into the man God created me to be. It restored my vision for manliness and gave me a roadmap to follow. Scripture tells us that we are “created in Christ Jesus for good works,” and this course helped disciple me into actually doing them. I now carry a clearer sense of purpose, a clearer sense of what Christ expects of me. I’ve learned to be proactive about my growth.
Being part of a student church, it’s often difficult to find older men — apart from my father — who are willing to intentionally invest in discipling younger men like me. That’s why it meant so much when Rolf opened his life and home to me. I got to see the fruit of a life well-lived: a flourishing marriage, a strong family, and a peaceful household. The wisdom from the course came alive as I witnessed it being lived out in real time. If this had been a purely academic experience, I wouldn’t have been impacted nearly as deeply. Seeing wisdom embodied is what convinced me it was truly wisdom. I’ll be eternally grateful for my Monday nights spent at the Thielen household.

Stages of a man’s life has had a profound impact on my life, and I thank God for that. To attend it was very convicting, exposing so many areas of immaturity in my life, but at the same time empowering, giving me a better understanding of what I need to work towards to be a mature man.
As someone with a passion for the Bible and who is fascinated by human psychology, Stages provided so much material that I’m still reflecting on years after taking the course. The content has broadened my understanding of Christ and God the Father, and created a passion in me to strive to be a mature, Biblical elder.
In summary, Stages has helped me to be more mature at work, in small group, in my relationships with family and friends, and in my walk with God. It’s a course I would heartily recommend, especially in the time we live in, where much of what the Bible presents as being a man is misunderstood and villainized by the broader society. I hope and trust that it will also inspire other men to be excited to live for Christ as He has created us to be.

To whom it may concern:
I’m delighted to write something about Rolf’s program of the “Five stages in a man’s life” as well as the other programs he runs for young men.
I’ve been involved in programs like this from around 1997 and it is been almost 30 years now where I’ve observed many programs as well as being able to for the last about 20 years to spend about five hours per day reading and learning about the greatest programs around the world that I would give to myself as a 22-year-old.
I meet with Rolf almost every Wednesday and can say I have now been exposed to his programs extensively as well as to him – I can without a doubt say that if I was a young man now at Stellenbosch he would be one of the most important people I would want to meet and be exposed to – these programs of are of incalculable worth to a young man at Stellenbosch especially seeing the man behind the program – many programs are run by people who run them for other organisations but his programs are developed and run by him with an intensity and passion that is next level.
Every single young man that comes through Stellenbosch University should view this as one of the very most important things he can do in his time at Stellenbosch – I definitely think if you look over a lifetime it will turn out much more important than their degree they came to study!

I can testify that the ” five-stage course” was a game-changer for me. I could feel how the false ideas of masculinity (and femininity) that modern society has fed me were being challenged.
I’ve attended the course three times, and every time it not only felt like an even better exposition of what I experience as a young man, but I was also equipped to engage with those around me in a more emotionally mature manner. I noticed how women are constantly fighting with “boys”, but now I’ve learned how a man can actually meet the emotional needs of a woman.
I went from being a boy who always reverts to anger or clutches out into male passivity, to identifying, communicating, and ruling over my emotions by appropriately responding to each.
I found new confidence, boldness and, as ridiculous as it sounds, permission to fulfil the role of a man in my community. Gents, don’t miss this opportunity. Those around you need you to walk out this God-given identity.

One on the things that stood out to me most during the course was that we as men are called to be elders of our churches and communities. And just having this goal set in front of me makes it so much easier to look at the things I am doing and the way I act and to change them and grow as a man.
The course also gives you a great overview about what being a father is about. It grew such an excitement in me for this opportunity. And I am excited and ready to keep growing emotionally in my relationships, to prepare for this great role.
I am really happy that I attended, I have gained a deeper sense of joy and responsibility on what it means to be a man, a husband and a father. And just how much of an undertaking it is to become these things. The course taught me to constantly keep making an effort to grow into these gigantic roles.
Rolf who presents the course is a great example of what it means to be a godly man. Both his sons are fast in faith. His ministry in the lives of us young men is such a blessing.

This series has been great, and I’ve already begun to see the fruit of it in my own life since attending my first series.
In my feedback, I’ll be sharing two positives and a negative too.
The subjective positive has been the impact on my own life. Having attained wisdom and understanding regarding core elements of my life regarding my manhood has been very positive. I’ve begun to grow in my understanding of who a godly man is, I now have a framework to work from and I have a better understanding of how to become a godly man.
Objective positive has been to see the impact on my friends and other men’s lives after partaking in the series. I feel encouraged to know that there are other men out there who are striving for a similar goal.
Negatives, that not enough young men participate and that not enough older men partake in the series by sharing their knowledge and helping the young men grow.

In 2023, I was invited by a friend to join a course called “The 5 Stages of a Man’s Life.” At first, I expected it to be just another church meeting—someone would preach, we’d listen, and then go back to our usual routines. But from the very beginning, it became clear that this was something entirely different.
The course challenged many of the narratives we see in today’s Western culture, where masculinity is often misunderstood or even dismissed. Society tends to encourage men to become more sensitive or feminine, while offering little guidance on true masculine maturity. In many ways, men are no longer expected to grow up, and as a result, many remain emotionally and spiritually stuck in boyhood.
This course not only revealed the importance of strong, mature men in our communities, but also gave me the tools and perspective to grow into that man myself. It taught me what it means to be a good husband and, one day, a good father. More importantly, it emphasized the need to walk through each stage of manhood intentionally, building on one to enter the next.
Through honest reflection, I recognized that in some areas of my life, I was still functioning as a boy. The course helped me identify those areas and gave me the skills and direction to grow through them. It also gave me a deeper understanding of the role I will play in the lives of my future children. If God blesses me with sons, I now see how essential it is to guide them through each stage of life purposefully—so they, too, can become God-fearing men in a society that so desperately needs it.

Stages of a man’s life has had a significant impact on my growth. It has given me understanding as to how a man grows to maturity – how God has intended us to progress throughout our lives to ultimately become life giving men.
The knowledge shared in this course helped me to identify shortcomings that I would otherwise either never have learned or have had to discover for myself the hard way.
The lessons learned in this course continue to bear fruit in my life even long after having attended. Therefore, I cannot recommend this course highly enough.

The 5 stages in a man’s life was an awesome series delving into the emotional growth men, a major issue in current society. I learnt about emotional growth, maturity, what stage of life I am in, as a man, and what is required of me to grow further emotionally.
I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Christ’s masculine character and looking to him as an example of what it means to be a man. Breaking down his actions, authority, the way he handled situations and the manner in which he spoke. All shown through reading the scriptures.
It was an eye-opener on modern day Christianity and the churches current position. And in this, showing the importance of a strong, masculine and emotionally present father to lead future generations. As well as learning how the absence thereof has led to emotionally stunted men. We had open discussions and teachings on steps to growing emotionally as a man.

My Journey Through the 5 Stages of a Man’s Life (2024)
Attending 5 Stages of a Man’s Life in 2024 was, and continues to be, one of the most transformative stepping stones in my relationship with Christ Jesus. It opened my eyes to God’s true vision of manhood. For the first time, I understood what it truly means to be a worthy man in God’s eyes.
Through revelation after revelation, I began to grasp the deep importance of masculinity – not just for myself, but for my brothers in Christ, my future wife, and ultimately for God. Godly masculinity is not optional for me. It is a vital part of how God chooses to reveal Himself.
Being able to identify where I currently stand in my walk, while having the brotherly support, prayer, and strong leadership around me, allowed me to apply these teachings to my everyday life…and it has drastically changed me. I’ve grown in emotional maturity, gained a deeper understanding of my responsibilities in relationships, learned how to communicate in healthy and honest ways, and developed both a giving and receiving heart.
I’ve gone through the course two more times since my first experience, and each time I’ve learned more than I thought possible. Questions I had and even questions I didn’t know I had, were answered. Masculinity had always felt like a vague concept but : the clarity, structure, and Biblical grounding of this course changed that entirely. Under the leadership of Rolf and in the company of committed brothers, I found the foundation I needed to step into true masculinity.
This course is everything a man needs to take his first steps toward Biblical manhood. It was that for me, and I’ll forever be grateful.
In today’s world, masculinity is often twisted, toxic, or misunderstood. That needs to change. This course is part of that change, and I’m honored to be been part of it.
I also want to give honor where honor is due: Rolf. His leadership is not only effective—it’s deeply authentic. His life stands as a powerful testimony to what it means to be a godly man. His heart for God is undeniable, revealed in the way he loves his family, his wife, and his brothers in Christ. His mature and beautiful marriage, his SUPER masculine and wonderful sons, and his brotherly love are all reflections of a man led by Christ.
Through Rolf’s wisdom, his spiritual insight, and his example, I’ve been guided closer to God and closer to the man I’m called to be. And for that, I’ll always be thankful.

It was an amazing blessing to explore the characteristic traits of the different stages of masculinity, alongside other Christian men. Men who aspire to keep growing into emotional and spiritual maturity according to the perfect example that was set by Christ.
The course, the discussions and the content created a frame of reference for myself for applying introspection and to track the progress of my own emotional growth. (An area of growth that is easily overlooked and even completely avoided by men.) It also opened my eyes to the prevalence of emotional brokenness in everyday society across all ages and the destruction it causes in relationships and families. The course also made me aware of my own infirmities and the areas in which my own parents were imperfect. It was during this time when the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Sonship, reminded me of the Father’s identity as a ‘father to the fatherless’ and His ability, willingness and skill to make up for the imperfections of my worldly parents.
I realised the importance of relational discipleship by elders as a Biblical model (because boys cannot raise boys), and the importance of journeying with a community of God fearing men.
According to personal revelation from the Holy Spirit, oom Rolf who presents 5 stages of a man’s life, is appointed by the Lord for his ministry. The fruit that is on his life according to the grace of God is a great example and a tremendous blessing for myself and other young men. He understands the scriptures and his life at home reflects a biblical standard. It is inspiring to see what a blessing a godly home is. Not only to himself, but also to his wife, children and the extended community.
I highly encourage this course, the knowledge will prove to be a great tool for navigating growth, relationships and parenting.

I attended the Five Stages in a Man’s Life course for the first time when I was 23 years old. I was always very conscious of my masculinity and strived to be a good and dependable man based on the example of my father. I, however, also often struggled with critical emotional and maturity shortcomings that left me frustrated with myself.
The Five Stages in a Man’s Life course Rolf presented opened my eyes to the critical role each life stage I have gone through has played in the development of the man I have become thus far. The course content has made me incredibly grateful for the manner in which my parents raised me as I realised it protected me from a lot of pain. It has, however, also given me unique and valuable insights regarding certain areas of my development (e.g., emotional maturity, communication skills etc.) that have not been up to standard and consequently contributed to my shortcomings. I identified specific infant and boy tasks that I have not fully mastered and the course has given me the tools I need to grow in these areas. This newfound growth has been incredibly life giving to me and has made me a better man and friend and prepared me to become a better husband.
I attended the course for a second time with my girlfriend (now wife) and it helped us in opening up about how we were raised, mistakes our parents made and what they had done right. The course set us up for a truly godly marriage and now after two years of marriage we still often refer back to what we learned in the course. It equipped us to understand each other’s shortcomings, support each other’s growth and be better prepared in raising our children to become goldy, mature and well-equipped men and women.
The course has also been life giving to my relationship with my father as I have grown to understand him better and respect him for the big step up he has made from growing up without a life giving father figure. It has encouraged me to use the base my father has given me to become an even better equipped man. Ultimately, the biggest blessing of this course was to gain a better understanding of how God designed masculinity and how to give proper expression to it.
Credit also has to be given to Rolf. His family is the ultimate testimony that he lives the life of the godly and mature man he preaches. Rolf and Sonja’s loving and mature marriage has become a standard my wife and I strive for, and we still often come to them for advice. It has been wonderful to get to know their sons as well and to understand how they were raised to be such mature men so early in their lives. Rolf also shares many unique insights and wisdom from his own life that have been incredibly helpful in understanding how to practically apply the course content.

The 5 Stages of a Man’s Life course was powerful. Throughout the week, I often found myself reflecting on what we had discussed in each session—it was that profound. As a 19-year-old, I joined the course hoping to learn how to grow into a mature, godly man, a leader, and one day, a husband. The series brought to light specific areas in my life that need growth and helped me see more clearly the kind of man God is calling me to become.
Throughout the course, I was challenged with deep theological truths that stretched the way I think about God, myself, and the world. It didn’t just expand my knowledge; it deepened my walk with God and stirred in me a greater awe and reverence for Him in my daily life.
One of the most crucial lessons I took from the course was the importance of having mentors and being discipled as a young man. Since then, I’ve been intentional about surrounding myself with godly mentors who can speak into my life, hold me accountable, and walk alongside me as I grow.
The presence of older, married men in the group added so much value—they brought wisdom, perspective, and real-life examples of what godly manhood looks like in marriage, family, and leadership. It also gave me a renewed appreciation for my parents—for the way they’ve raised me and the wisdom they continue to offer. I now see them more clearly as spiritual mentors, not just family.

The course of 5 Stages in a Man’s Life had a profound impact on my life as a man. It gave me a deeper understanding of what true masculinity really is- Something that our world desperately needs.
One of the biggest realizations for me in the course was that true masculinity is life giving. A man cannot be life giving if he is still an infant who only cares about his own needs. True and fulfilling manhood is being a provider and giving life to those around you. I learnt that a boy exposes a woman’s vulnerability whilst a man covers it up and protects her. The realization that a man actually has the ability to fulfil his wife’s emotional needs was revelational. Without doubt it will go very far in my future relationship with my wife.
A big central theme for me across the entire course was the concept of “returning to joy.” So many men in modern society feel like they have been exiled from joy with no way to return. 5 Stages in a Man’s Life provides valuable insight on how a man can “return to joy.”
Since I have done the 5 Stages in a Man’s life I have seen myself grow in my confidence as a man and take my place in the world as an unwavering man of God.

This course above all affirmed me of my masculinity. In our crazy society it can be hard to hold onto conservative/traditional beliefs; Rolf helped me realize that its ok to be a more traditional man embracing conservative Christian masculinity. I think these values are pillars you can build your life upon. More than anything it was just realizing the fact that being a conservative man is ok; this course gave me a community in which I could be reaffirmed of this.
This renewed idea of masculinity redefined for me what it meant to be a Christian man, I think many people think Christian men are “nice” in the sense that they are weak, but now I see that this is just what the world paints Christian men as when in fact that is not at all what being a Christian man is about.
Understanding the different stages in a man’s life and identifying where I am on that journey has helped me understand what I need to work on as a man in order to fulfill my potential in this sphere of my life.
This course was a compass that gave me direction in the journey of becoming a man.

The 5 stages course was very life giving to me. It provided a platform for me to ask real questions about masculinity and femininity and the discussions helped frame my worldview around how men and women relate to each other and how we should relate to God.
I was challenged to ask myself the difficult questions regarding my own “boyish” behaviour and I was pushed to take my own masculinity seriously and to actually seize my own identity as a young man.
My greatest takeaway is the fact that being a man is good, and that I enjoy being a man, and that I’m made by God to be a force of good in the world that is life giving to others around me.

The journey of a godly man is navigated by Dr.. Wilders’ book and refined with Rolf’s eldership.
Inner truths, personal responsibilities, and your view of God will be challenged.
“I do not have to prequalify to receive love” This truth is motivated by an infant’s idea in the course, yet it could save so many grown men from themselves.
Men, we have responsibilities. It is expected of a mature boy to identify, manage and solve his emotional needs; as a man, this task is considered crucial.
Most of us are motivated by fear and not abundance; the latter is a lesson I learned from Rolf and the other men who took this course. I sincerely hope you get the chance to expose yourself to that.
Young Man is the stage I am currently in. In today’s world, the context of manhood is severely distorted and misunderstood. Developing a healthy view of masculinity helped me grow closer to the godly man I was designed to be. The way I perceived my father dramatically changed when I entered this stage.
I now understand that men seek to conquer and that our conquest induces dishonourable campaigns if we are not mentored. History shows us repeatedly that man has a great capacity for evil.
Therefore, we must do our utmost to forge our habits, fears, and goals according to the craftmanship of God.
An environment shapes its beasts, and this course shapes Elders.

The 5 stages in a man’s life course dealt with the different stages that a man will go through to physically, and spiritually, grow throughout his life. The course discussed the 5 different stages (infant, boy, man, father and elder), with brief discussion on the key aspects (for example the needs an infant or tasks that I father should be able to do) of each stage. I felt that the course created a space for the younger generation to connect to the older generation, creating a space to be vulnerable, also bringing together men from different backgrounds. The sessions had both a practical (interaction and discussions) and study section (reading scripture). It showed me that there should be a healthy balance between your physical and spiritual self.
For growing up I had this image, to be a real man, you need to be the best player in rugby and that you shouldn’t have any emotions (for example, a real man does not cry). My speech was one of the biggest struggles I had, for I did not know how to convey what I am feeling and relaying my thoughts to others around me. The discussions we had brought valuable insight for me on how to improve my speech and finding the necessary process to keep the struggle of communication at a minimum. The interaction with the group at the different sessions, gave me more insight to how I can help those around me with the same problem, also how to interact with people from different backgrounds. It gave me a hunger to press into God’s word and to incorporate scripture more in everything I do in my life. Discussing the different stages, made me more aware of my actions and reactions, in terms of everyday life and what a possible result should be (becoming an elder for the community where I stay).
It showed me that a lot of bad situations has been turned around to glorify the Father, for the situations that I went through can help those around me when they have similar questions or situations (being a testimony of what Jesus has done, pointing those who need encouragement, to Christ). The interactions with the others in the group, especially the older men, has inspired me to continue asking questions and to widen my perspective of life. Whilst discussing the father and elder stage, I was overwhelmed with thankfulness and joy, for the discussions reminded me of the people in my life that helped me get to where I am, having these characteristics. One man that came to mind, was my dad, for he always went the extra mile to help out and support, even when he could not. I am grateful for being part of this course, for it helped me to see the bigger picture of how it looks like to be a man that seeks for truth and to only have a fear for God.

Course Outline
The 5 stages course outlined for me the 5 developmental stages a man should go through from infancy, boy, young man, father, to elder.
In a world where fatherlessness is becoming an increasing problem (me myself coming from a fatherless home from age 3) this course really made me aware that spiritual, emotional and phycological maturity has a roadmap and it is gender based as per God’s design, not just a fluent mess that the world is trying to teach us that men and women were created with the same blueprint and are fundamentally interchangeable, which is a far cry from the truth. This gave me something to start understanding, that I was still a boy in a lot of aspects because of my father-wounds, but with understanding comes healing, and I am being healed.
Things I learned
I learned a lot of things from the 5 stages. Starting with the infant, I learned that an infant must receive love from their parents, as it would increase their capacity to tackle the world. I learned that this nurturing love is primarily provided by the mother up until age 3. During this time, the infant learns their needs and how to communicate them. I learned that a boy can be very selfish and often abuse their powers to gain selfishly. I found a lot of older men in my life still being boys, something I never could identify before now.
I also learned that a boy learns to satisfy his own needs, hence him being selfish, but this is good up until a certain age (13 to be precise), but a lot of men keep this going until their 40’s even, some never escaping themselves as the main priority. For the stage called “young man,” I learned that a young man knows how to satisfy his own needs and the needs of others, be it loved ones or just their fellow man. This made me more aware of the needs of my wife (now married 3 months) and trust in the Holy Spirit to help me see them and meet them as a woman can only really be a woman in the presence of a real man, not a boy. A woman will never argue with a man, but she will with a boy. How interesting, I remember.
I learned that a young man is life-giving as per God’s design to create an environment where things can grow and be beautiful in leading to father. This made me sensitive to listening to my wife to create an environment she can grow in and be beautiful in, just like a farmer attending his farm, doing everything at the right time, but still giving glory to God when the miracle of life and growth happens. I learned the important role a father has in a child to equip them and release them into the world. I also learned how important being an elder is, giving back to the community he finds himself in, holding elders to a new high view as in Timothy or Titus, I see an elder as Iron-Man, a real superhero, meek, not weak.
Things I Enjoyed
The way Rolf incorporates the fundamental design God created male and female from the story of Genesis, which makes a lot of things about men and women clearer, which helps a lot with understanding why the opposite sexes behave the way they do. Men penetrating new frontiers, which come naturally to them, and the wife as our helper in reaching the moon.
The way Rolf teaches us the importance of being comfortable being a man in an age where being a masculine male is almost considered a sin, all while being vulnerable about his own mistakes, is to teach us.
The simplicity of the course really makes it practical, the stages are like paintwork on a house, layer by layer it needs to be applied, miss one step and the next coat won’t adhere properly. The other older married men teach us younger men from their mistakes and experience. I enjoyed hearing them converse with one another, as you primarily become a man in the presence of other real men.
The fun conversations between the older and younger men, married and unmarried, during the open question sessions Rolf has during the course, are designed to adapt the course to the specific needs of the men in the course.
Effect on my life
The effect this had on my life was tremendous. Suddenly, I could trust the Lord and pray about a problem I never knew I had, You don’t know what you don’t know. I could share this with other male friends and identify boy problems in my own life and the lives of others, men and women in my life. I could share with women that they are in relationships with boys, which brought healing as they could now see the character traits associated with this developmental stage, “boy”. I shared this story with my mother, she found healing from my dad, understanding things she never knew why he did, why he did. I could share it with other sisters in Christ so that they know what to look out for, and I could identify boy behaviour in my own life and that of my male friends, and have constructive conversations with them. I have even invited an unbeliever to the course, and he even went away changed.
Conclusion
In conclusion, I have done this course 3 times now and each time I learn something new and profound, as you change the course adapts, the information is always true but different parts become relevant at different times in your life, thus I would do it a thousand times more, like an old little village where the young boys learn from the older men, natural and effective.
