College Rd.\nWilmington\, NC 28412 DESCRIPTION:'What's the most courageous thing you've ever done?'
For years this has been Dennis Rainey’s favorite question to men. Wh
at he has found is\, many men don’t have an answer. Too many are confuse
d about what authentic\, courageous manhood looks like\, and they shrink b
ack when they ought to step up.
Men stuck between adolescence
and mature manhood who need someone to call them to step up.
Men who
need a bigger vision for what real manhood should look like.
Men wh
o have learned what it means to be a man\, but are unskilled at reaching d
own and calling the next generation of young men to step up.
On
Saturday\, August 4\, Dennis Rainey\, along with James MacDonald\, Robert
Lewis\, and Crawford Loritts\, will unpack what biblical manhood looks li
ke and what it means to be a godly\, courageous man in today’s world. Th
ey’ll help men understand their biblical roles and the responsibilities
they have to fulfill those roles. They’ll show men what it means to lead
at home\, at work\, and in the community. They’ll discuss why men need
the accountability of other men on the journey of manhood. And they’ll e
xplain why being passive is not an option.
Men\, you can do thi
s! Register for stepping up and answer the call to courageous manhood.
This is a national simulcast being broadcast at Lifepoint Church.
The cost is only $10 per person and includes pancake breakfast. This eve
nt will run 8am-1pm and is open to any man who can get to Lifepoint on Aug
ust 4.
