Men’s Fraternity
Well, I haven’t been posting as much during the last couple of weeks. Basically because I have had other things to do. That’s the way life goes.
I am offering this brief post to begin building enthusiasm for an incredible opportunity available to all men in the Baton Rouge area, beginning in September. (Actually, it is available to many of you in many other areas, as well.)
I have recently been asked by the men who have been leading Men’s Fraternity at our church, The Chapel, to step up and take leadership of this ministry. I guess they decided to put me to the test on two of the key traits of authentic manhood, “Reject Passivity” and “Lead Courageously!” I will be writing much more about this throughout the summer and early fall.
I wish words on a blog could adequately tell you how profoundly my participation in Men’s Fraternity impacted my life over the past year. In the coming weeks and months, I will attempt to do just that. Men, I’m telling you, Men’s Fraternity will change your life! For now, I will share with you the words of one our pastors, who was also my excellent small group leader:

I couldn’t agree more about the positive impact of MF. I have been through all three years and it has fundimentally changed the way that I look at marriage, work, home, and life in general.

I wanted to share how much, as a wife, I have appreciated this group for my husband. I see a difference in him since he has participated with MF. They are a source of encouragement, accountability, and friendship. Make time for this!

Glad to hear you had the same great experience with Men’s Frat I had, Garth. (Sorry to just now be offering a reply comment.)
Thank you, Chemaine, for sharing your encouraging perspective with me and our readers. I would say your recommendation is perhaps more important than mine, given the challenges of Men’s Frat, and that it is all about action – and you are definitely well-positioned to observe action or inaction on my part. Love you, Darlin! ;D
