Men's Retreat - Registration Deadline
Registration Deadline: Sunday, October 3
Topic: Gospel Centered Manhood
Location:
High Peak Camp
Estes Park, Colorado
October 8th-9th
We live in a world today with many conflicting messages about the nature if manhood. Rather than being pulled in every direction, we need to let God define for us what it means to be a real man. When you boil it all down, a real man – no matter what place in life they are in, what their personality may be, what roles they have – is one whose life is centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A Gospel centered life gives us our true identity, gives us the power to fight any battle, and defines how we respond in all our relationships!
Men, join us (and the men from the four other Crossway Chapel churches in our region) as we get away for a weekend to get refreshed, refueled and encouraged as we look at Gospel Centered Manhood together.

Act Like Men!
In 1 Corinthians 16:13, Paul issues the men in the floundering Corinthian church with this charge: “Be watchful; stand firm in the faith; act like men; be strong.”
Below is a video that we talked about at Man School this evening. Darrin Patrick—a leader of Acts 29 and pastor of The Journey in St. Louis, MO—has just released a new book called Church Planter: The Man, The Message, The Mission. The video below is a teaser for the book, and Patrick is calling out the men in our churches (pastors and leaders) to “act like men.” We have a generation of men who are seeking to prolong adolescence, refusing to take life seriously. Will this new generation of men lead the church to its demise, or will we turn from our laziness to courageous action so that we can be a part of God’s mission to redeem the world through the Gospel? Check out the video, and let’s act like men.
