Grow your relationship
with god<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The key to growing in your relationship with God is to know Jesus Christ as Savior, surrender <\/b>to Him as Lord, and appropriate Him as your source of living. Discovering your new identity in Christ will help you live in freedom and motivate you to help other men reach their spiritual potential.<\/p>\n

We use many Scripture passages to help you appreciate Christ as your Cornerstone and yield to the Holy Spirit as He constructs your life and mission. The Master Builder has a plan for your life that He wants to accomplish through you.<\/p>\n

Ideally, every man should be mentored by a man in a life stage ahead of him and mentor a man in a life stage behind him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
