Success That Matters

Duration: 1 day with 6 follow-up small group sessions

Are you tired of the rat race? Emotionally, spiritually, mentally and physically, men feel tired. Off balance. Under pressure. And they often have a lingering feeling that something isn’t right. The problem isn’t that men are not achieving their goals. They are – but they’re often the wrong goals.

In the heart of every man burns an intense desire for his life to count – that his life will have mattered. All men want to lead a successful, happy, meaningful life. “Success That Matters” is a well-balanced, priority-based success that yields a deep sense of meaning and purpose, based on the timeless truths of the Bible.

The Success That Matters Seminar provides a clear, biblical, right direction. It will encourage men to examine their life and find a deeper level of meaning and purpose. To accomplish this, men will be challenged to develop a flexible, self-guided Success That Matters Life Plan and make 16 life-changing decisions. This personal growth tool will help you map out your next steps to a life of significance in every way.

Unleashing Your Heart

Duration: 1 day with 6 follow-up small group sessions

What would your life be like if your heart was unleashed? What if you could unlock all your potential? Where do you find the power to overcome obstacles like sin, mediocrity, distraction, insignificance, weakness and self-centeredness? All this is possible when God unleashes your heart.

Unleashing Your Heart will take you on a journey. As you walk down this path with a band of brothers, you will discover the power Christ has to draw you closer to Him and to each other.

Brothers!

Duration: 1 day with 6 follow-up small group sessions

Every Man needs a Brother. Being a man has never been easy. But the Bible teaches that there are resources available to help us face the challenge. God, the Holy Spirit, His Word, AND one another. This course will help men develop accountability relationships with other men.

One of the keys to a man’s growth in Christ is to find men of like heart and become brothers, moving together toward the goal of Christlikeness. Most substantial change happens with the regular study of God’s word in the context of relationships.

Brothers! will give you a strategy for using small groups to disciple men, and a practical process for building authentic, godly groups that don’t scare guys off at the beginning and don’t let guys stay at that surface “how-about-the-game-last-night” mentality. In short, how to lead a group that naturally moves from acquaintances to friends, and friends to brothers. Get men interested in God’s Word and in each other’s lives.

His Needs, Her Needs

Duration:1 day

Husbands, do you know what your wife’s key emotional needs are? Wives, do you really know what matters to your man? Thousands of couples have restored passion to their marriage through these truths. Become irresistible to your spouse by learning these biblical principles on building a loving marriage through meeting each other’s key needs.

Through this seminar, couples learn how to affair-proof their marriage and grow deeper in their relationship by developing lifelong habits of meeting each other’s key emotional needs.

Love & Respect

Duration:1 day

A key principle in marriage has been overlooked in all the recent talk about equality and rights. A wife has one driving need to feel loved. For most women, to be loved unconditionally is the very air they breathe. When that need is met, she is happy. For men, the need is different. A husband has one driving need – to feel respected. When that need is met, he is happy.

When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy. That is why the Apostle strongly reminds the men to “love their wives as Christ loved the church” and for the women to “respect” their husbands.

Love and Respect reveals why spouses react negatively to each other, and how they can deal with such conflict quickly, easily and biblically. What do you want for your marriage? Want some peace? Want to feel close? Want to feel valued? Want to experience marriage the way God intended?

Then why not try some Love and Respect.
