Men’s Fraternity is a series of three one-year-long studies designed to help men come together and strengthen one another. Men’s Fraternity provides men with an encouraging process that teaches them how to live lives of authentic manhood as modeled by Jesus Christ and directed by God’s word. The process provides men with practical, easy-to-apply steps to be a better husband, father, employee, boss, and friend.

The Quest for Authentic Manhood is the first of the Men’s Fraternity series. It explores the common issues that all men face and provides a practical plan for moving forward with your life. It’s a captivating journey of 24 sessions that helps men understand their masculine identity and shows them how to make the pursuit of authentic manhood a lifelong priority. By conclusion of this study, men will be able to give a biblically-based response to “What is a man?”.

Elements include:

* Seasons of a man’s life
* Uncovering a Man’s Wounds
* Defining Manhood
* Deepening Marriage Relationships
* Raising Sons and Daughters
* Developing a Manhood Plan
