Football gives us a pretty good picture of something we sometimes forget as men: You don’t become ready on game day. You prepare before game day. The preseason is where players compete, get evaluated, make mistakes, get coached, get back up, and fight for their position. And eventually, the roster gets cut. That made me think… What are we doing during our own “preseason”? As husbands. As fathers. As leaders. As Christians. Are we preparing now for the responsibilities God has placed in front of us? Because eventually, life is going to put us on the field. The question isn’t whether adversity is coming. It’s whether we’ve prepared for it. Prayer is preparation. God’s Word is preparation. Discipline is preparation. Working on ourselves is preparation. Being accountable to other men is preparation. And sometimes preparation means getting knocked down, learning from it, and getting back up. “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.” — So with all of that …. Who is your team this year?

This group used to be about leadership in general; however, I most recently felt a calling to rename it and focus it on men. So, if you are a man, and want to connect with other like minded men who are striving to be better and find out what God has called men to be in scripture...then this group is for you. All are welcome! If you don't know where you fall but are still looking for what it means to be a man or what manhood really is...you are more than welcome and we look forward to you being here. If you are new here: 1. Please let us know who you are. 2. Why you joined? 3. What are your expectations from the group.

@Brandon Berryhill welcome to the group! Where are you joining us from?
