Steve’s Top 5 For Men.

Steve’s Top 5 For Men.

I have probably been studying God’s design for manhood for well over 20 years now.  The first real pick at the subject came during my college years when Todd Owen and I set upon the gospels to learn what we could from the man Jesus Christ.  While Jesus is divine, God in the flesh, he was also perfect in his manhood.  The text tells us that he got angry with the religious Pharisees, wept over the death of a friend, and got tired after a long day’s work.  The author of Hebrews lets us into the secret that Jesus was tempted in every way possible to man yet was without sin.  Jesus was fully man just as well fully divine.  Therefore we can learn a thing or two about manhood from him.

In addition to attempting to follow Christ I’ve read a number of books over the years along with taking in various conferences and men’s ministry participation. (more…)

Sex and the Soul of a Man this week on SND.

Sex and the Soul of a Man this week on SND.

SNDThat’s right! Sunday Night Discussions is coming back.  SND is a live webcast for tough questions and honest discussion about God, life, and the world we share. This Sunday at 8p Central we’re kicking off another season with our special guest, Michael Cusick. Michael is a counselor, ministry leader, author, and founder of Restoring The Soul Ministries in Denver, CO.

For the Discussions this week, Michael will be talking with us about the issues of a man’s soul and the connection to the estimated 68 million searches for pornography every day. While the questions may be many, the answers are found at a much deeper level than mere willpower.  The lines between this problem, God, and our soul is more profound than you might think.  In Michael’s book, Surfing For God, he quotes the 20th century theologian, G.K. Chesterton who observed that “Every man who knocks on the door of a brothel is knocking for God.”

So start making plans now to catch the show and feel free to participate.  The program will be aired through Google +.  If you are viewing through that medium on the SND page you can send in questions during the show. We will also embed the link here Sunday Night so that you can also submit questions or observations in the comment section.  In addition, we will also be giving away a copy of Michael’s book to someone in the viewing audience at the conclusion of the show.

So grab a friend and come hang out with us Sunday at 8p central as the Discussions begin.

PS  For all the “Walking Dead” fans out there looking forward to that season kick off; just set the tech up to record the show as you won’t want to miss our live discussion.

See you soon.
