The Promise Principle | Men’s Virtual

Faribault

Wednesday at 6:30 PM • Virtual

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Small Groups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands.

Try Softer

Shakopee

Monday at 6:30 PM

Many of us are stuck in trying harder. We keep going, keep hustling, keep pushing, searching for the success and happiness of an abundant life. Often, our trying results in us being overwhelmed, overworked, exhausted, and numb. What if there was a better way? What if instead of trying harder, we dared to try softer? In this group, we'll use the book Try Softer, by Aundi Kolber, to understand how God specifically designed our bodies and minds to work together to process our lives and overcome obstacles. Through Try Softer, we'll learn about knowing and setting boundaries, moving through emotions instead of getting stuck in them, and developing self-compassion. The group will meet weekly in Shakopee on Monday evenings from 6:30 - 8:00 pm for 10 weeks beginning April 17. The ability to commit to attending at least 8 of the 10 weeks helps build group unity and safety. Participants will need to purchase the book Try Softer: A Fresh Approach to Move Us out of Anxiety, Stress, and Survival Mode--and into a Life of Connection and Joy, available on Amazon for about $16. We will use this book, not the Guided Journey Companion workbook. Group leaders are Megan Colvin and Lisa Medin.

The Knowledge of the Holy

Crosstown

Saturday at 7:00 AM

This will be an every other week study of Tozer's classic "The Knowledge of the Holy;" a study of the character and attributes of God. We will meet for 90 minutes each time for fellowship, a meal, and discussion of two chapters from the book each time in a relaxed setting. From the Amazon website: This book, "by beloved evangelical author and Christian mystic A.W. Tozer, illuminates God’s attributes—from wisdom, to grace, to mercy—and in doing so, attempts to restore the majesty and wonder of God in the hearts and minds of all Christians. Informative as well as inspirational, The Knowledge of the Holy returns the towering Christian concept of God to the center of the religious mind, fostering a renewed appreciation of the magnitude of God’s glory. This timeless gift breathes a spirit of devotion for all Christians, from those who are newly arrived to those who are committing themselves anew to Jesus Christ." Please purchase the book on your own ($13). It's available on amazon.com.
