Greetings!

I can't think of a time in the last several decades when so many men were hurting and being tested as they are today. The economic meltdown is taking a heavy toll on not only our families and finances but our on hopes and dreams. Anxiety and isolation are widespread. 

In the movie Gladiator, Maximus Decimus Meridius and his fellow gladiators are in the Roman Coliseum standing before the Emperor and a blood thirsty crowd facing whatever enemies Caesar will send against them. Maximus says to his men, "Whatever comes out of these gates, we've got a better chance of survival if we work together. If we stay together we survive. Come together. Lock your shields, stay as one! Hold!".

In John 15;15, Jesus says, "Apart from me you can do nothing." And that means none of us can withstand the challenges that come against us on our own. We depend on His presence and power in our lives. But God also works through the brothers. He does not intend us to be "Alone Rangers". The wolf loves the lone sheep. Satan loves "Alone Rangers". God wants us to have "battle brothers" with whom we can do life together. We need brothers who will watch our backside, speak truth into our lives and cheer for us and affirm us in the fiercest storms.

I can't think of a better place for you to be, or a better investment you can make, than at WACMM's Spring Iron Sharpens Iron Conferences:

Saturday, March 28 - Largo Community Church, Mitchellville MD
Saturday, April 25 - Burke Community Church, Burke VA

Come be equipped and encouraged for whatever battle you're in or heading into. Bring your "battle buddies" or connect to new brothers as together we experience the special camaraderie we have in Christ Jesus. Check out the information in this month's newsletter and then take advantage of the early registration and other special discounts. Join hundreds of DC Region men for a great day of teaching, worship and battle preparedness.

Locking arms together,
