231. Men raise your hand!
Men need to reach out, raise your hand, ask another man to mentor you, disciple you, help you to become stronger in your weak areas. Simply raising your hand and asking another man to come along side you on this journey is the beginning of great things. Scott Wiggins has spent the last 30 plus years leading men and women.

To be known or to be anonymous is the question. There is a tension between the man and the fan in the arena. What do we see in the church? Are men being put on display for Jesus or are they sitting back quietly so as to not bring attention to themselves? How are we suppose to live? What does the Bible say about this? www.meninthearena.org
