#207 - Kyle Thompson // Keep Your Nuts On 6:19

15d ago6:19

6:19

We draw a hard line between a dulled version of church that sidelines men and a sharper, biblical call that forms men into sacrificial servant leaders.

28d ago6:50

6:50

God's original design for men included three key areas to bring Him glory: a will to obey, work to enjoy, and a woman to love.
