THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU! This retreat is organized by the men’s ministry groups of Twin Oaks and Central Presbyterian churches BUT it’s open to ALL men who yearn for victory on the battlefields of their lives—as a leader, a friend, a dad, a husband—to be a REAL AUTHENTIC SUCCESSFUL MAN for a lifetime.
It’s a place YOU can spend a some time with other guys honestly facing the truth, getting a fresh grip on the gift of God’s grace, linking shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow war-riors and TOGETHER committing to live out A DANGEROUS FREEDOM: MANHOOD GOD’s WAY!
WHY AREN’T MEN FREE? All men seek to be real men, but most of us are not intentionally developed into manhood by godly men. The result? Men unconsciously write their own code of manhood and follow it rigorously…
...but it’s a flawed code that excludes God and His great plan for His sons. Meaning well, we often end up in prisons that bar us from truly becoming men, hurting ourselves and our loved ones in the process.
The Good News of the Gospel of Grace is that because of Jesus, men of all ages can get out of those prisons and develop into real men with a real Father who will invest Himself into developing them every day of their lives.
DANGEROUS FREEDOM Session 1—What Men Really Want—The risks men take to be men, the gigantic dilemma we face in becoming men, and writing our own code of manhood which influences our lives everyday. Good news for our journey into manhood.
Session 2—Men Behind Bars—What life can do to a man: Because our world is broken, there are many roadblocks which keep men from becoming true men. We discuss these roadblocks in this session, and the 12 most common prisons men find themselves in which keep them from the Father’s plan for them.
Session 3—Becoming Dangerously Free—Before starting out on the right road to manhood, we have to first get out of our prisons. Here is where we learn how to get out of our prisons so we can live free as men of God.
Session 4—Dangerous Manhood According to Jesus—Men find out what their real identity is now because they’re Christians. From this new position, we begin our lifelong study of Jesus as the model of true manhood. The end of this retreat is just the beginning of a new life of being a man!
