Joshua Harris, Senior Pastor of Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg MD, reminds us of God's promises when we battle temptations (1 Corinthians 10:13). God is the faithful warrior who is with us and for us whenever and however the enemy seeks to take us down - to take us out.VIDEO CLIP

Founding Pastor of the Journey Church in St. Louis and author of the book Church Planter, Darrin Patrick gives us a sobering account in this video of what happens when men go missing in the church and older men fail to reach out and connect with the younger generation of men. Patrick also writes in his book, "...we have a couple of generations of males who were not raised by men and the result is a prolonged male adolescence. In a culture where the influence of godly men is desperately needed, this void results in a legitimate cultural crisis". VIDEO CLIP
