CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC challenged the PAX to live out Ephesians 5 and love their wives like themselves. Sometimes as men we want to hear a problem and just get to fixing it – sometimes our wives need just to be listened to and prayed for.
Care for her, look out for her, make intentional time to just talk and check on one another.
MOLESKIN:
Was an honor to lead these men for 45 minutes in the Gloom. Very thankful for them coming out and taking part in my VQ.
