Starting this weekend at Church180 we are having a conversation called, “Three Things Guys Talk About.”

Can you guess what they are? Sex. Success. and Sports.

The bottom line in this series is to make the case that “it is absolutely okay and good to be a man.” During this series we are going to explore what the Bible has to say about and to men, and we are going to learn how to be a man that makes God smile and women secure.

As a man, and a father of six daughters, it is my rock solid belief that the church needs to have this conversation! I want my girls to find good men who honor God, assume personal responsibility, and treat her with respect. I want son-in-laws who have courage, take initiative, and embrace the best of both poet and warrior.

The more I read/study Scripture the more I become convinced that God’s ideal man is the poet/warrior man who can write a sonnet and kick some tail. He has both wisdom and courage. He knows how to be gentle and stern… and the list goes on.

This will not be a series of conversations where we apologize for men. Instead we will define, explain, and encourage real manliness.

I’m looking forward to this conversation!
