Session 4 – Warrior (Part 1)
Session 4: Warrior – Historian Thomas Cahill, speaking of the violent origin of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, observed that “there are humiliations a proud people – even one oppressed for generations – cannot abide”. Indeed. It may take time, and require repeated provocation, but eventually a man must come to realize that there are certain things in life worth fighting for. Perhaps, when we appreciate the truth of this, we can better understand the heart of God. Like the Jews before Christ, we, too, live in a world at war. We are supposed to fight back. It is apparently a difficult reality to embrace, as witnessed by the passivity that marks much of modern Christianity. We just want the Christian life to be all about the sweet love of Jesus. But that is not what’s going on here. you may not like the situation, but that only makes it unattractive – it does not make it untrue.

Workbook: A Map for Your Masculine Journey
A companion to the book Fathered by God, and helpful for discussion questions when going through the video series. Written to help you find your way, to figure things out, and to get the most out of Fathered by God, which itself is a map to the masculine journey. A journey worth taking. A journey with many challenges. And many rewards. The essence of Fathered by God is that every man needs someone to guide him through the process of masculine initiation, but there are few men who have anyone around to do that for him. So God steps in to take the role of a Father in our lives, and show us the way. This tool is designed to help you walk with your Father through your own journey.
