Description: Where there's a lack of trust, there's a lack of peace. Broken trust can send us spiraling: Can anyone really be trusted? What if distrust is actually the wisest choice to make? What do I do with my doubts about God when He allows bad things to happen? Are there biblical answers for any of this? Lysa TerKeurst understands this kind of deep wrestling and has asked these same hard questions in the midst of her own relational heartbreaks and uncontrollable circumstances. But after thousands of hours of counseling intensives and theological research, she discovered how crucial it is to develop the stability you long for within yourself and with God, so you don't become cynical and carry a broken belief system into every new relationship.

Description: Men of God is a small group primarily focused on discipleship and the growth of God’s kingdom through our universal purpose. Over the past year, we’ve studied the Great Commission in-depth by looking at and studying those in scripture that God used to reach others and make a difference in His kingdom. We not only studied our purpose but also implemented it into our daily lives by making ourselves available for God to reach others through us. This semester, we’re going to study four strengths as biblically defined by Jesus, that will help us not only in becoming more effective disciple makers, but also guide us in our relationships as we strive to be better husbands, fathers, friends, and children of God. If you’re looking to experience God in new ways and at a whole new level, this group is the perfect fit for you.
