King
January 31, 2010
Band of Brothers, Febrary 1st, 6:30 PM
KEY POINTS OF THIS SESSION
• The goal of the masculine journey, the maturity for which God has been fathering the man since his first breath—is to be a King. To wield power, influence, and property in his name.
• Before a man is ready to handle power, his character must be forged. It might be said that all masculine initiation is designed to prepare a man to handle power.
• The great problem of the earth and the great aim of the masculine journey boil down to this:
When can you trust a man with power? I remember Dallas Willard saying once that he believes

His story, My story
January 20, 2010
FIRST SERVE and CONNEXIONS TOPIC for JANUARY 23rd
Until recently, my life, my story just hasn’t made sense. And not for a lack of trying…a lifetime of trying. Yet, perhaps I wasn’t ready. Now I am seeing The Story for the first time. I am beginning to see my story in His Story. And, although you may be starting at a different place, I know you have a place in The Story, too. So, I want to share with you the story. As I see it. I want to give you a picture of The Door and of The Path. Then share a bit of my struggle to reach The Door and begin on The Path. All I can say is while it’s not an easy road, I love being on it and know I’m heading home.
Join us 8:30 AM for songs and a homily, Speaker: Craigan
Discussion right after: “How do I get to the door?” 9:30 AM ConneXions, Facilitator: Craigan
