Groups for Men
| Study | Description and Leadership |
|---|---|
| Philippians | “We live in a world of stress and of anxiety. We need a abundant, overflowing joy to flood our souls. The book of Philippians is written to point us to that joy.” Discipleship Council Contact: Jeremiah Metcalf Group Leaders: Michael Williams, Jeremy Gieske, Ethan Tate ,Jonathan Tuggy, Logan Miller, Fletcher Colgan, Ross Anderson, Owen Burns, Sam Randall |
| Deeper | “How do Christians grow? In this book, Dane Ortlund points believers to Christ, making the case that sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over
them when they were first united to him.” Discipleship Council Contact: Andrew Krom Group Leaders: Joshua Mesloh, Jacob Devol, Will Galkin, Michael White, Jack Bloomer, Joshua Baratka, Derek Jarrell, Luke Wiley, Ben Rowell |
| 1 Peter | “Here is a letter written to churches like ours, about a time such as ours. Peter’s first letter is one we need to read, treasure and believe in our day, because the post-Christian societies many of us live in now are very much
like the pre-Christian society in which Peter’s first-century readers lived then. Here is a letter for today.” Discipleship Council Contact: Drew Staats Group Leaders: Kyle Eliasen, Reese Filpus, Josh McClain, Nathan Angstadt, Quin Machado, Lincoln Huffman, Ben Lammoreaux, Jeremy Lun, Isaiah Marvin |
| God is the Gospel | “The book is a plea that God himself, as revealed most clearly and fully in Jesus’ death and resurrection, be seen and enjoyed as the final and greatest gift of the gospel. All God’s good gifts are loving to the degree that
they lead us to God himself. This is the love of God: doing everything necessary, most painfully in the death of his Son, to enthrall us with what is most deeply and durably satisfying-namely, himself.” Discipleship Council Contact: Jerry Baum Group Leaders: Luke Manring, Mickey Neal, Stephen Chow, Drew Williams, Caleb Veinotte, Spencer Benefiel, Silas Ogren, Jacob Hubred, Luke Deberny, Alex Heinrich |
| Awe | “Our hearts are always captured by something-that’s how God made us. But sin threatens to distract us from the glory of our Creator. All too often, we stand in awe of everything but God. Uncovering the lies we believe about all
the earthly things that promise us peace, life and contentment. Paul Tripp redirects our gaze to God’s awe-inducing glory—showing how such a vision has the potential to impact our every thought, word and deed.” Discipleship Council Contact: Lucas Kimball Group Leaders: Granite Lesko, Sam Marshall, Micah Spaulding, Jonathan Revell, Marcus Hernandez, Ben Kinsinger, Braden Coffey, David Pride |

| Galatians | “The book of Galatians is an explosion of joy and freedom which leaves us enjoying a deep significance, security and satisfaction-the life of blessing God calls his people to. Why? Because it brings us face to face with the gospel. It’s
very common in Christian circles to assume that “the gospel” is something mainly for non-Christians. We see it as a set of basic ‘ABC’s’ doctrines that are the way in which someone enters the kingdom of God.
But in this short letter Paul outlines the truth that the gospel is the A to Z of the Christian life. It is not only the way to enter the kingdom. It is the way Christ transforms people, churches and communities.” Discipleship Council Contact: Deborah Raczykowski Group Leaders: Hannah Nicholls, Renae Miller, Olivia Baden, Lauren Clark, Melinda Schumaker, Hailey Fry, Olivia Harris, Morgan Bruggeman, Bethany Wightman |
| Humble Roots | “Humble Roots reveals how cultivating humility-not scheduling or increasing productivity-leads to true peace. By remembering who you are and Who you aren’t, you can discover afresh your need for God and the rest that comes from
belonging to Him.” Discipleship Council Contact: Kelly Fourman Group Leaders: Hannah Nicholls, Renae Miller, Olivia Baden, Lauren Clark, Melinda Schumaker, Hailey Fry, Olivia Harris, Morgan Bruggeman, Bethany Wightman |
