Class 1 AUTHENTIC MANHOOD Men’s Fraternity —  Craig Franks Many men lack clarity about what it truly means to be a man. As a result, many men are in a state of confusion. They end up disappointed with life and find themselves lonely and drifting. They’re comparing and competing, focused mainly on trying to keep up with everybody else. Too many guys don’t know how to answer the question … “Who am I as a man?” … and they end up settling for a “less-than” life. They don’t have a compelling manhood vision that is bigger and more meaningful than the conventional  manhood that much of the world seems to be chasing. The good news is that God has a really clear purpose and vision for us as men that is unique and He lays it out for us right there in His word. It’s not only clear, it’s inspiring, exciting and motivating.

Class 2 LIVE LIKE JESUS — Mike Dunlap & Rick Grossniklaus What if it were possible to do what Jesus did? What if, like Jesus, we could make a major impact on our world without ever traveling more than a hundred miles from home? What if we could take a group of “unschooled, ordinary men” and equip them to “turn the world upside down”? Jesus did some incredible works, beyond just His miracles. He took ordinary men and transformed them into world changers. So even if we believe that the Bible is true—even if we take Jesus at His word—we may imagine we could never do the things Jesus did, not to mention doing greater things. In our Christian walk, we may know that we are supposed to imitate Jesus, but deep inside we believe that Jesus did what He did because He was God. Obviously, we are not! But this is a mistaken view of Jesus and cripples our disciple-making. Learn what it means to “Live Like Jesus” and make disciples like He did.

 

Class 3 WITHOUT RIVAL—Jan Durham & Sue Dunlap There is a reason we look at others as rivals and limit ourselves to comparison and competition. We have an enemy assaulting our mind, will, and emotions in the hope that we’ll turn on ourselves and each other. It’s a cycle that isolates us from intimate connections, creates confusion about our identity, and limits our purpose. In Without Rival, bestselling author Lisa Bevere shares how a revelation of God’s love breaks these limits. You’ll learn how to stop seeing others as rivals and make the deep connections with your Creator you long for-connections that hold the promise of true identity and intimacy. With biblically sound teaching filled with prophetic insight for our day, Lisa uses humor and passion to challenge you to:

-Flip rivalry so it brings out the best in you!

-Stop hiding from conversations you need to be a part of!

– Answer the argument that says women are unfit, easily deceived, and gullible!

-Dismantle gender rivalry and work with the men in your life!

It’s time to step forward to live a life without rival!
