Men's Group
Band of Brothers
Many Christians today live their lives, plan their schedules, and use their resources completely disconnected from what they say they believe. This spiritual disconnect is the cause of so much of the stress and problems in our lives. This curriculum out of Saddleback Church (that brought us 40 Days of Love) is about the essential truths of the Christian faith and how these truths are to be lived out in relationships, character, and work. Rather than just teaching doctrinal knowledge, this course shows you how to apply biblical truths and implement them in your everyday life. Discover the key that can: strengthen beliefs to change behavior, lessen your day-to-day stress level, increase your security in an insecure world, help you raise your kids with a right perspective on life, and increase your love for and trust in God.
• Begins Thursday, Sept. 16, and ends Dec. 7
