Marsh Bull is a technical type guy working with computers for 5 decades. His focus until turning 51 was on my career & getting ahead in the corporate world. He believed he was a good man, working hard to take care of his family. Focusing on his career, he had allowed his home life to crumble. He was working 14 hours a day for IBM when his brokenness finally caught up with him. It was Sat. October 21, 1995 when he pulled off the road and shouted a one-word prayer, “Help.”   Instantly a sensation of total love permeated his entire body. It felt like a warm molasses covering him from head to toe. At the time, He didn’t understand it was the Holy Spirit entering his body. This is what defines Marsh, his life before Christ & his life after Christ. He was probably like you if you don’t know Christ!  Boots on the Ground: Head on over to Marsh Bull’s website and pick up some of his free resources, grab some guys and start a group.  Website: https://www.mensgroup.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mensgroupfoundation/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/c-b-1983119/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/mensgrouptopics/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mensdiscussiontopics/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mensgrouptopics Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/mensgrouptopics www.meninthearena.org Men in the Arena Books and Swag Support the Podcast Contact us.

Intimacy anorexia is relationship disorder that is marked by a lack of intimacy in a relationship. It occurs when someone in a relationship actively withholds emotional, spiritual and sexual intimacy from their spouse or partner. This lack of intimacy harms the marriage, damages the relationship causing pain and loneliness and impacts the spouse or partner significantly. Dr. Douglas Weiss coined the term "intimacy anorexia" when he started seeing a separate, yet related aspect of sexual anorexia in his private psychological counseling practice. He was able to link these cases of sexual anorexia into a broader spectrum of related issues and noted that people engaging in this type of withholding behavior did it for other reasons that those typically associated with sexual anorexia. So, what is your grade? No marriage is perfect. But with hard work it can become better each day. www.meninthearena.org Men in the Arena Books and Swag Support the Podcast The online Men in the Arena forum

Hal and Debbi have given 40 years in studying and strategically applying the principles of making disciples that Jesus modeled and commanded of His followers. Both formally and informally, they relationally discipled their four children (now all in full-time Christian ministry) and those in their churches willing to invest time in their own relationship with Jesus and then to help others.
