I've talked about it a lot in previous newsletters, but here's a quick rundown, and clarification of terms:
What's it All About?
Our Mission: The Renewed Man Community exists to help men grow in self-mastery (1 Corinthians 6:12) in response to four pressing challenges for men today: finding deeper intimacy, maintaining mental/emotional health, developing an honest and meaningful spiritual life, and increasing our capacity to resist the distractions and temptations of our overly-sexualized
world. These challenges are not unique to our time, but they are especially problematic today … and they all relate and interact together.
What's the Difference Between the "Boot Camp" and the "Community"?
Renewed Man
Community is the heart of this ministry. It's an ongoing program of support, teaching, accountability, and connection for men. The program is based on 12 Keys to Being a Renewed Man ... and so over the course of the year, each month will have a special focus on each of the keys.
Renewed Man Boot Camp is a 12-week program, which is designed to give an overview and immersion for men in the way of the Renewed Man.
Both the Boot Camp and the Community involve:
- daily content
- a special weekly teaching video on that particular key
- an accountability group (meets twice a month)
- a coaching group led by me (meets twice a month)
What do You Talk About in Renewed Man?
We talk about the needs of men in our world today, especially pertaining to four areas of concern. As stated in our mission, we seek to help men grow in self-mastery (1 Cor. 6:12) and thus find:
- deeper intimacy
- better emotional health
- a more honest and meaningful
spiritual life
- greater capacity to resist the distractions and temptations of our overly-sexualized world
This program is broad and holistic. But it does place special emphasis on sexual self mastery, and it does so for two reasons: (a) our sexuality is a big part of who we are as men, and (b) our world pushes sexual provocation at us 24/7.
