This is a lifelong endeavor\, a never-ending pursuit\, not for the sake of knowledge\, but for an ever-deepening relationship with God Himself. Authors Jen Wilkin and J. T. English invite you to become not merely a consumer of theology\, but a contributor to the conversation\, and to grow in faithfulness to the Great Commission’s call to make disciples. \nJoin us this summer as we learn about God together during this six-week book study. Participants will read a chapter or two per week\, then discuss the reading\, enjoy fellowship and pray together in small and/or large group time. \n\nMultiple group options available to fit your schedule\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”small” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Register for Bible Study” url=”https://valleychurchdm.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3566588″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:HSM Guy's Bible Study & Open Gym
DESCRIPTION:Open Gym\nStudy Through Titus\nReal Conversations\nPractical Faith\n\nWhat kind of man are you becoming? \nEvery day\, something is shaping you\, whether it’s your friends\, your feed\, your habits\, or your priorities. The question isn’t if you’re becoming someone. The question is who. \nThis summer\, we’re walking through the book of Titus\, a short letter with a powerful challenge: live differently. Be a man of character. Be a man worth following. Be a man whose life actually reflects what he believes. We’ll spend time hanging out\, playing ball\, then open God’s Word and talk about what real biblical manhood looks like. \nGuys\, let’s pursue Jesus together. Come ready to play. Come ready to grow.
