RECEIVE with Jeff Kemp
You can’t achieve your manhood. Sorry, but that’s great news. Especially if you experience confusion and frustration like most guys. We’re told we have to earn our manhood. Society has dozens of misguided suggestions, from sexual conquest to a big bank account to six-pack abs. Even in churches, men seek self-assurance through spiritual performance. But all these efforts fail because we’re trying to win the approval of our peers, wives, fathers, kids or even God Himself. It frustrates and wears us out – leaving us isolated, burnt out, and confused.
Would you like to feel secure as a man without competing or pretending? Jesus has a better way. It’s receiving, not achieving. Abba Father invites us to receive our way to live just as we receive His solution in Jesus Christ. Let’s explore the journey of manhood in the way of Jesus - receiving your identity as God’s son and following Jesus’ perfectly dependent way of being a man. Let’s experience how receiving transforms everything in your life – from finding your purpose to rediscovering deep friendship – and defines what it means to be a real, good man.

RECEIVE Part 3 with Jeff Kemp
We’ve all over-promised and under-delivered. We’ve all felt inspired and convicted. We wanted to change. We were ready to aim high. But then, we’ve all been smacked in the face by reality and fallen back to wistfully thinking, “Ya, God. But, how?” You may be better at blaming than forgiving. Your...

RECEIVE Part 4 with Jeff Kemp
Aren’t you glad social distancing and masking up has ended? But do you still feel a bit lonely, like you’re missing the camaraderie and brotherhood of deep friendship? That’s common among most men. It’s true for leaders, who often feel deep loneliness and isolation, even if they mistakenly think ...

RECEIVE Part 5 with Jeff Kemp
You and I, our peers, and our kids, have been marinated in a fully saturated consumer culture. How has that consumer culture impacted you? There’s a radical paradigm shift that God offers us that will dramatically change our relationships and lives. It’s based in God’s agape love and lifts others...
