Grace men
Pursuing life together
Men, life is too hard to go it alone. You don’t need to! In growing numbers, men are coming together to talk about their faith, their lives, their futures, and how they can have an impact on their spheres of influence. If you’re looking for laughter, honesty, enthusiasm, hope, or change, please attend a Grace Men event.
You will have a tremendous opportunity to build friendships, have some laughs, get at some real stuff, and connect your faith in your everyday life. Join us to go a step further in your life as a man.
Fall Session 2022
Lies are real and they have the ability and potential to leave chaos, damage, suspicion and even death in their wake. You can most likely remember a time when telling a lie seemed like the only sensible thing to do in the heat of the moment. Most likely you can also remember being lied to and how disheartening it felt. For a “Lie” to be effective it has to have a “taste of truth” in it. Whatever the nature or purpose of a “Lie”-the intent to purposely deceive by telling an “untrue statement” breaks trust, and often breaks lives. What makes us liable to being lied to? What if our deepest struggles in life are due to the “Lies” that have been spoken to us that we have believed? What if someone is ultimately behind all this chaos? How can we learn to be more discerning when it comes to the things we hear and take in? What “Lies” might you be believing without even being aware of them? What power might be released in your life if you could shine the light of truth on the darkness of deception?
If you’re open to connecting with other men who want to “go after life” together, while challenging one another to grow then this session is for you. Wherever you may be in your journey you are welcome!
The dates for the Fall session of Ironmen are:
Monday, September 12 – November 14
Thursday, September 15 – November 17
6:15 – 7:45 a.m. in the South Auditorium at GFC
Winter Session 2023
Often when we hear “The World” mentioned we think of the massive planet we inhabit floating around in space. Or maybe you mentally go to some sci-fi movie dealing with aliens coming to planet earth to set up a new social order, or some crazed dictator using nuclear weapons potentially destroying “The World” as we know it. But have you ever considered that “The World” is also multi-faceted in its meaning. While it certainly describes the planet we inhabit, it also points to something much deeper and profound. It speaks to the perspectives, mindsets, and behaviors that impact our daily lives in significant ways. In fact, these perspectives and mindsets can be so subtle that over time we become numb to their influence upon us, and how we relate to one another. Often to our individual and collective detriment.
What if we could “pull back the curtain” on “The World” unpacking its various meanings so we could live on this planet more wisely with our eyes wide open? What if we could learn to better discern and see through the myriad of ideas we are confronted with daily? What if we could learn to engage in hard conversations better because we have eyes to see things we never saw before? What might it be like to “be in” the world, but just not “of it”?
This will be the focus of the Winter Session of Ironmen 2023! If you are looking for a safe place to connect with men who desire to share openly, push one another to grow, and challenge one another to be the best version of themselves this is for you. The dates for the Winter session are as follows:
Monday, January 23 – March 13
Thursday, January 26 – March 16
6:15 – 7:45 a.m. in the South Auditorium at GFC
