Our churches’ typical method for dealing with men doesn’t produce engaged men, or trained men, or settled men. Instead, we arm men with a few Bible verses and a weekly speech. Then we send them off to a “life group” at someone’s home, where it’s assumed they will “connect” by talking about that week’s speech.

What so many men get out of all this is that they have to do better and do more. And that message is coming from what someone else is telling them about God, not from their own relationship with him.

The training they’re getting is for a domesticated life, not the adventure of personally walking with God.

Is that the best we can do? Because it is not what men dream about or hope for, if they still dream and hope at all.

Men deserve a better way. Men need a better way. Men need to be equipped, guided, and then deployed by God to remain in partnership with him, entering into battle for the hearts of others.

The Heart of a Warrior

The Heart of a Warrior English

Men have a glorious and significant role in God’s Larger Story. They also are the target of a special warfare aimed continually and ruthlessly at the center of their being… their masculine hearts. Naivety and ignorance keep many men running in circles while misinformation and poor training keep many more in bondage. Men are wounded, frustrated, angry and being crushed under the weight of criticism and expectations. The attempted solutions of recent years is education; tell men what they are doing wrong and give them a list to memorize. This strategy isn’t working and its time we fall back to an Ancient One. What if we are setting men up for failure rather than helping them be free? Join author and guide, Michael Thompson, as he invites men to a place of training and orientation that will ensure both a settled heart and a fierce courage. A man cannot enter this battle without knowing he is a Beloved Son. After all, that is what the battle is all about!
