GENERAL SESSIONS
GENERAL SESSIONS
Journey of Courage
1 Corinthians 16:13
Kickoff session unpacking the central charge — what it means to be watchful, rooted, courageous, and strong in a world that often pulls men toward passivity or pride. This sets the framework for the weekend’s journey.
Promise of God’s Presence
Joshua 1:1-9
God’s call to courage is always paired with His presence. We’ll look at how God empowers men to lead and obey when fear is real — and how presence fuels perseverance.
Journey of Caleb
Numbers 13–14, Joshua 14
Caleb models a faith that doesn’t fade — a long obedience in the same direction. This session will explore generational courage, holding onto God’s promises, and finishing strong.
Discerning the Season You’re In
Psalm 78:72, Exodus 3, Psalm 90
Not every man is in the same place. Some are in a wilderness season like Moses, others in a shepherding-to-king journey like David. This session helps men identify where they are, what God is forming in them, and how to respond with courage and humility in their unique season.
