Fathers and Sons gathering around the campfire at Camp LuWiSoMo
You are invited as spiritual leaders in your congregation, you all play a role in supporting and discipling the next generation. I would especially encourage fathers of younger children to come on their own to prepare them for some of the challenges that will be coming during the sexualized years of adolescence.
Men of God in a Sexualized Culture
We live in a sexualized culture that devalues women and girls and preys upon men and boys. If you are concerned about this and would like to become part of the solution, join us for a one-of-a-kind Christian retreat that discusses how to live as godly men in a sexually explicit culture. We will handle these sensitive topics with openness, honesty and compassion. At this event you will learn about the sexual lies and distortions of our culture, be treated to the beautiful vision of God’s design for sexuality, learn about forgiveness and restoration, and come away with tools that will help you live out daily life as a baptized believer.
