Lessons From The Quest for Authentic Manhood

Today we started the first of a 24 week series called Men's Fraternity: The Quest for Authentic Manhood at our office. From the first lesson there's a few truths I want to share.

First off he shared what it's going to take to get through the 24 weeks. I think 2 of these are essential for success in any endeavor worth doing:

• toughness - to stick to it and see it through
• courage - to examine yourself & adjust
• vulnerability - willingness to be real with others

The third you can say is necessary for personal growth, which is always accelerated in the context of relationship.

The other lesson comes from the two statements, "Manhood is in a state of confusion," and "Confused men create major problems." Isn't it always true that problems result from confusion or a lack of knowledge or belief in the truth? Think about it and you'll see that every major problem derives from this.
