Manday

 

From the blog-

Once, long ago, men knew how to be men.  There were no "gender
neutral" bathrooms, and there wasn’t a question of who went out and
killed dinner with a spear.  Things have changed.  There are lots of
single fathers who have to do take care of the kids, and there ARE
gender neutral bathrooms, and most men haven’t ever killed any animal,
unless you can count the cat that you accidentally hit with your Ford
Taurus.  And you can’t eat that (or your shouldn’t at least.)

Now,
these things don’t necessarily define manhood, but they are a lot
closer than TPS reports and cooking mac and cheese.  Many men have lost
their concept of manhood.  During the time of college men set up who
they are going to be for the rest of their lives, so this is the time
that it’s important to lock in their concept of what it is to be a man.

At
Manday, we look at the real Jesus as our example of who we want to be. 
Not the nice, boring Jesus that you see paintings of up on people
mantle, but the dangerous, subversive, loving, protecting, strong Jesus
that He really was.  Niceness is killing men, binding them to do the
easy thing all the time, to give up on ever being a leader and to shun
responsibility, and denying them the greater reward that comes with
hardship. 

At Manday, we work to break these bonds and free men
to be who God created them to be.  We live by four principles; 1.
Accept responsibilty, 2. Lead courageously, 3. Reject passivity, and 4.
Seek the greater reward.  We also laud the doing of anything cool -
whether it be building a fire with sticks, throwing hatchets, knowing
how to sharpen and use a broadsword, or watching too much Monday night
football. 

So men, harken unto the calling that God has given. 
Come, be a part of something bigger than yourself, learn how to fend
off a zombie attack and share the wisdom of using the I formation! 
Manday calls.  Clear your schedules.  Do something you’ve never tried
before.  Live.

Manday’s meet on Monday nights.  We’re mobile, changing from place to place depending on what’s going on that week.  If you’re interested, drop us an email at challengemsc@gmail.com and we’ll make sure you know what’s going on.  Man up.
