Equipping Christian Men for Richer Relationships

From a Past Retreat

Having completed a Men’s Retreat, here is my summary and recommendations from the group’s feedback:

  • If you fall down, get back up. Stay in the fight.
  • Remember, “it’s about progress not perfection.”
  • Never forget, the shock and sadness on your wife’s/girlfriend’s face. Enter that sadness. Use that sad memory to help anchor yourself.
  • No more stupid. No more lying. No more conning yourself. No more confusion.
  • You run one body, one story, and one painful start.
  • I am starting to wrap myself in the love of Jesus in the morning and wrap myself again as I go to bed each night. And, I am learning to demonstrate small acts of love.
  • I am being still and listening longer. I am crying out in prayer. And, I am walking in grace.
  • I am pressing in and letting Jesus heal my story.
  • I have opened up more and shared what I experienced at the retreat.
  • Each day life is a new beginning. Today, I am looking for new things.
  • My eyes are open. No more sleeping through life. My ears are open. I am hearing better and deeper.
  • No more shame or self condemnation. Instead, I am asking Jesus to restore my soul

Amen!

(Although this is from a past retreat, it is all applicable today.)
