Christian First- Biblical and Theological Reflections on Manhood and Leadership
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 four-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.

By examining the book of Samuel and the institution of kingship in ancient Israel, we see that despite shifts in our political arrangements, we find hope and stability by simply fearing the Lord.
