Think on These Things

According to Proverbs our thoughts determine to a large extent the kind of life we live: "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7).  This workshop opens by giving men the opportunity to evaluate their lives using a scale of one to ten, one being as bad as it gets and ten being as good as it can get.  The rest of the workshop is directed toward enabling men to move up the scale from where they are presently, and live better lives.  The workshop content is based upon the premise that thoughts cause feelings, and feelings often determine much of one's behavior.  If one wants to change his feelings and or behavior, he must first change his thoughts, and the good news is "We are in control of what we think."  The Bible has much to say about thoughts.  The New Testament directs us to "cast down vain imaginations" and to "bring every thought into captivity."  Philippians 4:8-10 provides considerable structure to the workshop.   This workshop teaches men the power of GODLY THINKING.  The concept of Governing Values and the difference between important things and urgent things are cornerstones in this workshop.  Handouts, outlines and transparencies are utilized. The workshop can vary in length form one to five hours.

The Evils of Pornography

This workshop deals with the destructive forces utilized by Satan to lure men of all ages in to spiritual weakness and emptiness through pornography.  A significant portion of the workshop is dedicated to how one is impacted both physically, emotionally and spiritually by exposure to all kinds of pornography.  Participants will learn how to overcome temptation and how to protect loved ones from this ever present evil of today's society.  This is a powerful and valuable workshop for both men and women of all ages.  The story of David's sin with Bathsheba provides the Biblical framework for the workshop.  Handouts, Transparencies and outlines are utilized.  One to four hours.

Life is a Stage, You are a Player, and You have a Script

Our view of the world, our view of women, the way we handle money, the ways we interact with others, the way we parent our children... all this and more is written for us on our Life Scripts.  This workshop looks into why we are the way we are, why we do the things we do, why we make the decisions we make; and, if changes are needed to conform our lives to the likeness of Christ, how that can be done.   Our scripts come to us through our early caregivers.  Participants in this workshop examine their life scripts and determine if there are some pieces being lived out that are destructive and in conflict with the Abundant Life that Christ came to bring us.  How to remove negative destructive untrue script statements, and how to replace them with positive true and constructive beliefs are discussed and illustrated.  Handouts, transparencies and outlines are utilized. One to four hours.

Why We Act The Way We Do 

Beyond the "I have it together" facade of today's typical male, one finds a man struggling with the job of being what he knows he ought to be.  According to a model of personality and behavior, it seems that while striving to always act like a mature and rational adult, most people sometimes find themselves acting like a critical parent or a hurting or angry child.  This workshop illustrates that at any one time we might be sitting in, and operating out of, one of three chairs, the Parent chair, the Adult chair, or the Child's chair.  Participants both laugh and cry as they see themselves portrayed in this down to earth simple and easy to understand model of why we act the way we do.  It is the adult part of us that has its communion with God.  When we are critical of ourselves or of others, when we are fearful, hurt or angry, we cannot wholly respond to the Lord's work in us.  The goal is to strengthen one's Adult state and to lock oneself in that mode.  The concepts studied in this workshop gives understanding to why there is so much conflict between couples and within families today.  Handouts, transparencies, outlines, and props are utilized.  One to four hours.

The Abundant Life 

This workshop looks into the dynamics at work in the world today preventing men from getting deep into Christ-likeness.  The characteristics of, and how to become a man of integrity are discussed in this Biblically based workshop.  Obstacles to growth and maturity are explored and Biblically based principles of overcoming them are studied and illustrated.  Handouts, transparencies, and outlines are utilized. One to four hours.

The Seasons of a Man's Life

As men mature from childhood to senior adults they pass through maturational stages, both physical and spiritual.  These 'seasons' are discussed along with the life tasks that must be accomplished during those different seasons that make for a mature man of God.  When one fails to accomplish the life tasks of one maturational stage, complications can occur the next stage.  One can get 'stuck' and experience trouble with the spiritual and emotional growth of the next stage of life.  Biblical instructions and examples are taught about how to move into the mature stage of where one is presently.  Handouts, transparencies and outlines are utilized. One to four hours.

Things Forbidden in the Life of a Christian Man

A Christian man of integrity daily surrenders his life to the lordship of Christ.  This workshop examines the traps and devices that Satan employs to entice a man to sin.  Biblical principles necessary in handling temptation and doing the right thing always are studied.  There are some behaviors that are expressly forbidden in the lifestyle of a man of integrity.  This workshop focuses on some of those things which are recorded in Ephesians 5.  After establishing a thorough understanding of the forbidden things, the workshop moves into the area of thinking and feeling that is often the source of yielding to temptation.  David fell into adultery with Bathsheba;  when one examines the Biblical narrative of David's sin it becomes clear that David made some mistakes.  We can learn from his mistakes and avoid the same pitfalls.  Handouts, transparencies and outlines are utilized.  One to four hours.
