As easy as it is to be strong and independent, it is not healthy. We strive to create a manly identity where we do not need to depend on anybody. We get down-right proud of how much we have gone through without asking any of our friends for help. I know, I have done it.…
Well, at this part of the journey we begin to get some feelings about the study. We really start to get some ideas about Francis Chan. As men we tend to not want to get involved with other people. After all, they are just going to want to consume more of our valuable time, and…
As we went through section two of Multiply, we were presented with a challenging question, that deserves some time to ponder. What was it that Jesus came and taught?
