What Adam's Identity Means for Men Today

Men are continually told that they are supposed to be the “spiritual leader”, but what does it mean to be a spiritual leader? Does it mean you have to be a pastor or teacher? When God created man, he gave him a specific role and responsibility: keeper of the garden. A Godly man is one who embraces this role; providing the example of a spiritual leader to his family, protecting them at all costs, and unwaveringly follows God's Word and trusts His leading.

Sin is destructive. That reality is so clear all throughout scripture. The wages of sin is death. The work of Jesus opens the potential for forgiveness and freedom. In his power, and following his plan, we can overcome the strongholds of sin in our lives. To find that victory, we have to get honest about temptation and active in accountability. In this workshop, you will dig into scripture to discover the resources at our disposal to battle temptation and how to develop a healthy structure of accountability.
