GodMen

by Allison


“Welcome to GodMen, where you’ll find power, honesty, courage and your tribe of brothers…”

I saw the TV special on GodMen, as many of you readers may have, and I have to say, I was intrigued. GodMen is a Christian men’s conference that teaches Jesus’ word in a way that is not meek–These guys see Jesus as powerful, strong, and masculine, which, they argue, is something that is in the Bible but often left out in favor of a more mild Jesus.

Beyond that, GodMen also gives men the chance to talk about issues they would never discuss at church or with a woman present. What do you do if you are addicted to Internet porn? What do you do if you’re having homosexual fantasies? What to you do if you’re lusting for someone who is not your wife? What do you do if you can’t control your anger?

In short, GodMen is a forum for Christian males to help one another in real life without having the pressure of believing that Jesus was always passive. Jesus was a man too!

They do stress that the GodMen conferences are not anti-feminism in any way. They are simply a way for men to feel comfortable in their faith. Check out the website for more information.
