In a few short weeks, at the start of 2023, we are hosting our first ever Men's Retreat for Trinity Grace Church. But why?
Of all the good things our church could do, why prioritize a men’s retreat?
There are few things our culture is more confused about than manhood. At a foundational level, our culture struggles to answer questions such as “What is a man?” or “What is a woman?” Is manhood just a designation we can take or leave if we want it or not? Or is it something more foundational? Is it a relic of times past, when men were macho & ruled the roost? Or is it more permanent? Does it pertain to a few roles at home & a few roles at church? Or is it more all-encompassing?
Regardless of how you answer those questions, it is no exaggeration to say we are in a crisis of manhood. The problem is not so much with men but with the fact that men are not around. Statistics show that:
1 in 4 children grow up without a father in the home.
80% of single parent homes are led by single mothers.
41% of children born today are born to unwed mothers.
Perhaps more than any time in history, we need to return to the question: What is man for?
Men’s Retreat
We will be diving into this vital question and seeking answers from the Creator. We have invited Mark Prater—a pastor of Covenant Fellowship Church (in Philadelphia, PA) & the Executive Director of Sovereign Grace Churches—to join us!
We will pray, sing, feast, laugh, compete, & consider this question together. We want to challenge the men of TGC to carve out this time in early January for us to forge relationships with one another and pursue a biblical answer to the question - What is Man for?
