Being a Disciple of the Lord, how do you do that? We are needed right now more than ever. How do you foster both courage and sensitivity? How do you build focus, intention, priorities? We must be careful to not make “Studying our Faith” our “Hobby”. We must move beyond studying our faith and move into Living Our Faith. Daily we must seek to imitate Christ. Move beyond being a “Fan” and become a true “Follower”, a true Disciple of Christ.

Brett Powell
Christendom has fallen. The Apostolic Age has returned. Will you rise up? Will you raise the Christian Family to meet the challenges Christians face in today’s world? The missionary dimension of the family has never been more important than it is today. As Christendom falls, the Christian family must rise. As men, we must be intentional. Raising the Christian Family is not accidental. As sons of the Heavenly Father, men of all ages must respond. “There’s no retirement in the Kingdom. That’s for heaven.” Hear what Brett has to say as his leadership stirs you back to life.
Fr. Troy Nugyen

Father Troy shares a powerful message. He calls it a pep talk for confession. He talks about the life of Frank Abagnale of Catch me if you Can fame. He uses his story to talk about how we can put on masks to pretend that all is good. We cover up our woundedness and don’t even let God in. He describes how these wounds begin to fester and get worse. Confession is the place to take all your brokenness and woundedness. When we take off our masks and allow Jesus to heal us then we can be the men God calls us to be!
