Man Alive

Christians have long struggled to understand the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Join Pat Morley as we look at how Jesus, in His own words, clears up the mystery once and for all! You’ll see how the Old Testament is the blueprint, Jesus is the building, and why many sincere people end up constructing a faith that doesn’t look much like the original plans. You’ll leave with a much sharper understanding of what God intended all along.

Join Pat Morley as we explore one of Jesus’ clearest descriptions of what a disciple is meant to be: salt and light. In a world that often feels dark, confused, and morally adrift, Jesus calls His followers to preserve what’s good, illuminate what’s true, and help people find their way home to God.

We’ll talk about why many men slowly lose their distinctiveness, how we as disciples can influence the culture without becoming part of the culture, and what it looks like to live a visible faith that points people toward Jesus. A real man doesn’t blend into the world. He quietly changes it.

Join Pat Morley as we begin a new subseries on the Sermon on the Mount by exploring one of life’s biggest questions: What does it really mean to be happy, and where is happiness found?

In the Beatitudes, Jesus turns the world’s definition of happiness upside down. He describes the kind of men who are truly “blessed”—not men driven by ego, image, anger, achievement, or performance, but men marked by humility, mercy, purity, courage, integrity, and dependence on God.

The world promises happiness through success, approval, and control. Jesus offers something deeper: the kind of flourishing the world can promise but never deliver. Together, we’ll explore why the qualities Jesus called “blessed” are still the foundation for becoming fully alive today.

It’s going to be a great day!

Guest speaker Pastor Andy Searles will help us explore 1 Thessalonians 2:7–12 and uncover Paul’s powerful blueprint for investing in men through compassion, consistency, encouragement, and purpose.

Men don’t simply need more advice—they need steady, godly men who will show up, walk with them, and call them higher.

This timely study (considering Train Like the Twelve) will equip you to make someone a bit stronger and wiser.

In the Sabbath encounters, Jesus unequivocally shows us that compassion trumps man-made rules and regulations--every time!

And, in His school of discipleship, He wants His disciples—then and now—to do the same. Join us as we learn to lead others with compassion and courage.

I was out of commission and unable to teach a live session, so instead we held an open mic.We asked the local group men to share in 3–4 minutes what God has been doing in their life as a result of gathering with their small group and the teachings of Jesus in Train Like the Twelve.

As we’re learning to let Jesus do for us what He did for the Twelve, I'd love to hear from you how God is working in your life, your group.

Any new insight you’ve gained—great.

Any transformation you’ve seen—even better.

So instead, we’ll do what Jesus often did with His disciples—pause and reflect on what God is doing among us. This weeks recording will hopefully help get your group talking about how God is at work in them.

Who is Jesus, really?

Not the version shaped by culture, assumptions, or distance, but the Jesus who stands in John 5 and makes claims so clear and so bold that the religious leaders wanted Him dead.

The issue was never a lack of proof. It was a heart that preferred human approval over the glory of God.

Join Jim Angelakos tomorrow and let’s dig into one of the most defining passages in Scripture. And most of all, come ready to encounter the Son of God, not as an idea, but as the living Savior.

Join Pat Morley as we look at one of the most penetrating questions Jesus ever asked: “Do you want to get well?” We’ll explore why some men stay stuck, why others can’t yet see a way forward, and how Jesus meets both with compassion and power.

You’ll also wrestle with a hard question: Can you trust God is working for you—even when it looks like He’s working for someone else?

Jesus was asked, “Why don’t your disciples act like our disciples?”Jesus answered with three word pictures—and disciples ever since have wondered, “What do a wedding, a torn patch, and exploding wineskins have to do with me?”Join Pat Morley and be challenged to recognize anything you’re clinging to that no longer works—even if it once did—and why.Then learn how to help yourself—or another man—graduate from performance into the unique freedom of a relationship with Jesus.

This week in Train Like the Twelve, Jesus puts a stake in the ground. He calls Levi, a tax collector who “the good people” despised.

What’s striking is what Levi does next—he immediately throws a banquet and invites his friends so they can meet Jesus too.

Join us as we explore what the disciples heard and observed that day and what it means for you—a man who wants to become a disciple who helps others follow Jesus.
