TRAINING - Receiving biblical instruction (1 Thessalonians 2:13), especially with regards to biblical manhood.
PRACTICING - Learning how to apply God's Word to all areas of life. establishing accountability for the purpose of consistency and obedience to God's Word (James 1:22-25; Ezekiel 33:30-32).
UNITING – Making regular meetings a priority to connect with other men for the purpose of community, accountability, confession, and prayer (Galatians 6:1-3; James 5:16; Hebrews 10:23-24).
SURVIVING – Learning how to address major life temptations and/or crises according to need and life-stage with support and encouragement from the small group. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).
REACHING - Getting involved in some form of men’s ministry based on gifts and talents. God has called each of us to pour out to others what He has poured into us (1 Peter 4:10-11; Ephesians 4:11-13)
IMPACTING - Investing time and resources into the lives of other men such as one-on-one connection through shared activities, spiritual mentoring, and modelling (2 Tim. 2:22; Proverbs 27:17; Mark 3:13-14).
SHARING - Learning to actively share our faith in order to lead others into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15; Matthew 28:18-20).
