亲爱的弟兄们，
 
作为认识并侍奉耶稣的男人，什么是我们能做的最简单且又最伟大的事情呢？
 
就是表达我们对祂的爱和敬拜。

In the last post “E is for embrace” , I talked about how we want to create a distinct culture at Trailhead Fellowship. In this post, I want to give you an example, how the embrace of a coach helps a 5 foot 8 inch basketball player become a champion for life!

This week the college basketball playoffs are happening. Markquis Nowells is a young man who plays the guard position on the Kansas State University team. Guess how tall he is? He is only 5’ 8” tall. But he has been the hero of this team. You might think his point scoring has made him so valuable but it is not his scoring! It is his “assists” that has made him so special.

Dear Brothers,

Our goal as a fellowship of Christian men is to “Bring each man into the marvelous love of God.”

We have described what our end goal looks like with the acrostic M.A.R.V.E.L. (see below for description) and we have shaped our ministry culture with the life changing power of E.A.C.H.

From the series, “Christian Leader Care — Learning to Love Your Body ‘n Soul!”

Synopsis: When we align with God’s design for our well-being we experience more optimal health and joy. This is a foundational building block for being a holistically healthy leader.

亲爱的兄弟们，通过我心狂野的学习，我觉得每周我们都在更深地进入男⼈的⼼。似乎就像我们正在不断攀登男人心中的⼭脉和⼭⾕⼀样。 这周是我们旅途中⾮常特殊的部分，因为我们将学习并发现有关男⼈与⼥⼈，他的夏娃，他的妻⼦之间的关系的更多信息。

— an urgent challenge to build the men in your life — 

Another school shooting and many children’s lives lost. Countless other lives were tragically changed forever. I just want to reflect on one reality coming out of this — not to find a hidden reason for why this happens, but more to give a challenge to us. Young guys who do violence to others often, but not always, had a terrible relationship with their fathers — or they never even knew their dad. In recent history this goes back to the Columbine High school shooting.
