Join us for coffee from 6 – 6:15 am          Classes run from 6:15 – 7:30 am

 

o  The Quest for Authentic Manhood:  Men's Fraternity Year 1 with Robert Lewis.  This helps men understand their masculine identity & shows how to make the pursuit of authentic manhood a lifelong priority that is incorporated into the fabric of their everyday lives.  It defines what a man is  & challenges each man to develop his own personalized manhood plan.  Dale Sankey, facilitator - Format: video and discussion

o  The Gospel of John: This will follow along with the Sunday morning study and use the Life Changer Bible study Guide. Brian Berg, facilitator - Format: Personal study and group discussion

o  Fathered by God: by John Eldredge, author of “Wild At Heart”.  This book covers all the stages men go through, from boyhood to the wise Sage.  He uses Biblical examples of men in the different stages to help men grasp how God has made them.  This book maps out the path of manhood – not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a sure path men have followed for centuries before us. Find that path & become the man God sees in you.  This is an eight-week DVD study followed by group discussion.  Each member will need to purchase the book, about $11. Dan Kraeger, facilitator - Format: video and discussion

o  Total Integrity: Come join a book discussion & accountability group that seeks to help men remain vigilant against cultural temptations that affect purity, learn how to strengthen the examples we set as men in our families, & gain insights about integrating Scripture's wisdom into everyday situations.  We will review 3 to 4 books throughout the year, with handout materials available.  The group will need a minimum in order to be offered, but there is no maximum number set.  Questions can be directed to Steve Johnson at 715-572-0343 or steve@totalintegrity.org  Format: Personal study and group discussion

o  Spirit Warriors: by Stu Weber, a study on Spiritual warfare, based on the following four themes: The Nature of the Battle, The Powers that Be, In the Thick of Battle, and Beyond the Battlefield.  Jere Mansavage, facilitator - Format: Personal study and group discussion
