• Featured in Hillsdale College’s Spring Update.

✠ We’re grateful to Hillsdale College for highlighting the work being built through Legion XII.

✠ As the article notes, this brotherhood is grounded in a simple truth: young men are meant to pursue discipline, virtue, and meaningful work together.

✠ From early mornings and hard training to shared meals and serious conversation, the aim is formation in body, mind, and soul.

Timete Deum Solum.

As men, the world unrelentingly puts us through physical and mental crucibles. They hurt, they break us down, and they spit in our face.

But they never win. God does.

For without the LORD our God, we are but ash. Without His strength and love, we can achieve nothing. To Him we must always be grateful. Always.

Brotherhood, specifically, is one of the greatest blessings from God. As the world hurls its spears and strikes our ankles, we turn to good, Godly men to hold us up to the light- to remind us of who we serve.

Do not serve sin. Kill it. Crush its head.

A complete man has God, and he has his brothers.

Timete Deum Solum. Fear God Only.

12/20-21/2025 | AmFest Days THREE and FOUR | Legion XII

✠ And that’s a WRAP for AmFest 2025. Over these last two days, the brothers made even more connections with a multitude of Christian leaders, speakers, and brothers. We are humbled by the overwhelming support from the community. Because of them, the vision of Legion XII is expanding faster than ever before. We are grateful beyond measure.

✠ Though the week was certainly exciting and fast-paced, we
cannot slow down now. This trip has taught us, now more than ever, that America is in dire need of a Christian renewal, carried by Godly men of virtue, valor, vision, vitality. These are the flames that flicker and dance in the torch we bear; without stoking it, the fire will die. It did not start with Legion XII, but we have an obligation to carry it forward and upward.

✠ We would like to reiterate our gratitude once more. To everyone who supported us at AmFest, thank you for what you do. And to everyone who has supported us until this point, it is YOU who allowed this whole thing to happen. We are in your debt, and happily bear this burden of responsibility upon our backs.

✠ Above all, we are endlessly grateful to God, who has been with us the entire way through.

✠ “It does not take a majority to prevail… but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.” —Samuel Adams

12/18/2025 | AmericaFest Day ONE | Legion XII

✠ And we are LIVE, coming at you from AmFest 2025. Our FIRST day is in the books, and what a success it was — we have come a long way in such a short amount of time. What started as a mere small-college boxing club is spreading across the country, and now stands on the forefront of the nation’s spiritual restoration.

✠ This would not be possible without the help of everyone who has supported our cause. Also big thanks to our guys who came out to advance the mission. We are grateful beyond words to develop this community with so many amazing Christian leaders. We even ran into the one and only !

✠ This is only the beginning though, as the movement is only spreading its wings. We have yet to cover even more ground, so stay tuned for day two. Cheers, .

End of Semester Recap | Legion XII

✠ After two years of striving—trying, failing, returning to the drawing board, learning, adapting, and always in prayer—Legion XII has reached a decisive moment. God has been exceedingly kind to us this semester.

✠ This past semester alone:

National | Legion XII
• Officially launched our national 501(c)(3)
• Strengthened governance and clarified our board
• Established a repeatable Rhythm of Formation: Christian Leadership Seminars, accountability, service, combatives, and cold plunges
• Sharpened our branding, message, and public direction
• Received senior endorsement from Dr. Larry Arnn, who featured Legion XII in Imprimis (7.1M+ readers)
• Launched a new website, donation page, Substack, and LinkedIn
• Began formal chapter application and national expansion planning
• Invited to Turning Point USA this week, attending with a nine-man team

Campus | Hillsdale College
• Officially recognized as a student organization
• Expanded by ten exceptional men, each paired in weekly accountability
• Tabled publicly and hosted our first Men’s Fight Night
• Systematized weekly combatives and cold plunges as core discipline

✠ Most of all, we are beyond grateful for the men in this photo. Without their relentless dedication, Legion XII would never have made it this far. Ordering their lives spiritually, physically, and relationally, they are being tempered in the flames of brotherhood. Every man here is a blessing, and our mission grows stronger through them—and through Christ.

✠ 2026 will not be the start of something new, but the faithful continuation and scaling of momentum already built. We have come a long way, and there is still much ground to take.

✠ Glory be to the Lord, always.
✠ Timete Deum solum.

End of Semester Recap | Legion XII

This semester has been one of the most significant seasons in the life of this brotherhood.

In just over two years of operating independently, Legion XII officially passed Student Federation approval this semester and became a recognized student organization at Hillsdale College.

In the same semester, we also:
    •    Launched our national 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
    •    Solidified a weekly rhythm of formation: accountability, meetings, Biblical leadership seminars, morning, combative, and brutal cold plunges at Lake Baw Beese.
    •    Built and clarified our branding, messaging, and public direction.
    •    Expanded the active team by ten committed men, including our leadership.
    •    Raised early donor interest and strong parent support.
    •    Hosted public events, from tabling at the Source early in the semester to our first Men’s Fight Night at Simpson.
    •    Secured private support and endorsement from senior figures, including Dr. Larry Arnn, who featured Legion XII in Imprimis and reached over 7.1 million readers.
    •    Launched a new website, donation page, Substack, and LinkedIn.
    •    Began formal chapter application and expansion planning beyond Hillsdale. It’s happening.

All this, and more.

Rounding out our 2025, we are headed to AmericaFest in Arizona this coming week. There, we will spread the mission far and wide, meeting with big-name donors and catalysts to propel Legion XII onto the national stage.

Most importantly, we are beyond grateful for the men in this photo, as without their relentless dedication to the cause, Legion XII would never had made it this far. Ordering their lives spiritually, physically, and relationally, they are tempered by the flames of brotherhood. Every man in this group is a blessing, and our mission only grows stronger through them and through Christ.

2026 won’t be the start of something new, but the faithful continuation and scaling of the momentum we’ve already built.
We have come a long way, and have so much ground yet to cover. Glory be to the Lord as always.

Timete Deum Solum.
Fear God only.
