Exploring My Purpose

I have had a desire to help men grow ever since I can remember.
A great deal of us (men) seem to be living "under capacity".
I really desire to see men developing from bench warmers to leaders.

Recently, I have decided to explore this passion a bit more.

I have joined about eight - 18 and 19 year old Bethel college "kids" on Tuesday nights...
On thursday nights, I have two other guys coming over to go through the same material.

We are going through a tool called "Dangerous Men". It primarily deals with men's sexuality. It's intent is to help them be free from "destructive sexuality" and enjoy "healthy sexuality"... as God designed it.  This book has had a radical impact on my views of sexuality.

I am excited to see young men be able to talk about topics that have been secret for so long.
I am excited to explore this side of me that has been a bit dormant.

Many of these guys have never talked about "sexual" issues before.  They have never had a men's group where they can share their darkest secrets, and in turn find healing from them.  No wonder so many of us are living below capacity!  How can we run with so many things weighing us down?

Your prayers for me are needed.  I feel the pressure like a bloody battle.

I would love your prayers for not reduced temptation, but increased resistance.  The villian does not seem to like it when men get together, humble themselves and confess sin, and will most likely do his best to prevent it from flourishing.

Feel free to ask questions.  I am all for more discussion and less "hush-hush".

I hope y'all have as much fun as I am pursuing your own "divine sweet spot", your place to make an impact on this earth...

Thanks for reading...
-David
