The Complete Husband: A Practical Guide for Improving Biblical Husbanding
by Lou Priolo

Starting this Friday, I will lead two studies incorporating relationship resources with The Complete Husband (Revised and Expanded) by Lou Priolo. One study will be on Friday mornings 6:30am-7:30am at Panera (Crossroads) and the other will be Fridays 11:30am-12:30pm at Remington Grill (Crossroads). The study will be 12 weeks.

If you are single with a desire to one day be a husband, in a marriage that is doing good and could just use some encouragement, to ones that are falling apart, this study can help!

Cost of book is ~$15 online.

Email Chad if you are interested in joining either study.

What He Must Be…if He Wants to Marry My Daughter
by Voddie Baucham Jr.

This book will surprise you. I (Jimmy) have been a believer for 27 years and I have never heard a message preached or found a book dedicated to addressing this. We live in a culture that basically says fathers have little to no role in helping their daughter pick a godly young man. Instead, many fathers become passive and find themselves watching their daughters hearts be swept away by young men we would never want for them.

Here are some questions we’ll wrestle with together: What is our role as the father? How do we come alongside our daughters and help teach them in this area of dating? When do we step in as fathers and say “no” to protect them? What role do I play in this young man’s life that wants my daughter’s heart? What kind of sons are we producing? Are we producing sons that would one day be honorable men for young Christian women to marry? How do we do that?

I (Jimmy) have a daughter who is 18 years old who has been in a relationship for about a year now. I will be sharing with you what I have learned along the way. There have been nights of tears and crying out to the Lord in desperation but also there has also been prayers of rejoicing as my wife and I have helped her navigate this new area of her life. This book will challenge all of us! It has challenged my on leading my daughter, raising my sons, and reminding me of the kind of husband I need to be.

Email Jimmy if you are interested in joining either Fridays from 6:30am-7:30am or 11:45am-12:45pm.

Location TBD based on how many want to join us!

Men of Armor serves churches and Christian men by hosting men’s small groups that help to create biblical heart change.

Jimmy and Chad had three specific goals in mind when starting these groups:

1. To help Christian marriages thrive according to the Word of God

Most men we meet want to be a godly husband, want a God-honoring marriage, and want to lead their families, they just don’t know how. In our opinion, The Complete Husband, is the best book we’ve read to help men in all these areas. It is faithful to the Word of God, easy for the average man to follow, and heavy on the application of Scripture to our hearts where real heart change occurs. God has certainly used this book to call men back to their biblical responsibility as a husband. It also gives the “average” husband the tools he needs to become better at pleasing the Lord in his marriage.

2. To create an environment where men can be open about their struggles and find encouragement from other godly men

Many of us men live isolated lives. God created us to live in community. He created men to “hold each others arms up” in the battle of life (think Aaron, Hur, and Moses).

3. To equip disciple makers

Once men have gone through this 14 week journey (they meet once a week for an hour), we encourage them to go find a group of men from their church to pour into.

God is doing a powerful work in the hearts of the husbands that are in these groups. If you need a tune-up or if your marriage is falling apart, jumping into one of these groups will bless you beyond measure. If you’d like more information about joining a group or starting one at your church, please contact us.
