Christian First.
In a world that often measures manhood by power, success, or self-reliance, the Bible offers a radically different vision: a call to be a Christian first, letting every aspect of our lives flow from our identity as disciples of Jesus. This three-hour seminar challenges men to root their understanding of manhood and leadership not in cultural expectations or personal ambition, but in a life of following Christ.
December 7th from 9 to noon.
