RETREAT TOPIC…..Have you heard the adage, “Life isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon”? Indeed, living in a fallen world often tests us greatly.  But Christian men have not been called to survive life’s marathon, but to thrive in it for God’s glory!  Wherever you’re at in your race, join us on this special weekend as we discover what it means to “press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14). We’ll discuss being motivated by God’s glory, finding our identity in Christ, enduring life’s trials, and much more.  Let’s encourage one another in brotherly love and gospel truth as we pursue our eternal victory together.
