Hail and welcome!
  
              This study program was developed to help ADF Warriors Guild members deepen their understanding of what it means to be a warrior, not only in ADF but the world today. Hopefully this study program will help us define what a warrior is. This is not an easy task; as many of you know, there are a variety of opinions within the guild. We must first remember who and what we are. We are a church. A religious and social organization, we must always return to this paradigm. We care about education and strive for excellence. It is within this framework that we began this program.
              I don’t believe all warriors are soldiers, though many soldiers are warriors. I don’t believe being a warrior is all about war, though a warrior must be prepared to stand, fight, and even die for their virtues and beliefs. I also hope many of us never have to defend ourselves in a life-threatening situation. But if one arises, we should be prepared.
              This program is not about the military, but we do need to learn from our history books. It is not about security, but we should know how to and be ready to protect. It’s not about being an Eagle Scout, but we should be able to camp and know our way around in our environment. This program is about you being the best you. It is about never settling, but always striving to improve yourself; mind, body and spirit. That is the ADF Warrior way. Along the way, we hope you will enrich your life and improve yourself. Change yourself and you change the world.
              The Warrior’s Triad is a three prong interlocking training system that we will follow throughout this training program. The focus is on mental, physical and spiritual growth. The three key warrior disciplines that make up this triad are service, honor and balance. The hope is that by working with these three focuses, we will deepen the ADF virtues and begin to discover our truth.
              Although this is a study program, it is also a path. Think of completing this study program as the first step on your path. The hope is that what you learn by completing this program will give you the tools to help you to continue to develop yourself. Ultimately it is up to you. What you put into this program will determine what you learn from it. If you rush through it so that you can have the asterisk by your name, then you have cheated no one but yourself.
