Blacksmith Training Breakout

At Compassion Christian Church, we strongly believe in the value and spiritual growth of our Men where valuable spaces are created and Godly men can find support, grow spiritually, build relationships and do life with each other.  The definition of Christian Manhood can be confusing and misunderstood.  In a culture where traditional family roles and values are challenged, the roles we men take on – husband, father, breadwinner, mentor, spiritual leader, protector, caretaker, financial planner, coach, counselor, advisor need to be defined and supported based on Christian principles.  That is a need we work to come along side our men to address – through community with like-minded men. 

Men, Christ-following Men, need community with other likeminded men at what one writer terms “The Table of Influence”.  Every man needs a group of men around him with which do life – study God’s word, share fears, voice concerns, ask advice, develop friendships, garner accountability, push one other to higher levels.  We have a great model for this – Jesus had 12 men in his “tribe” and 3 of those were in his inner circle.  Every man needs a Paul (someone to pour into him), a Barnabas (someone to do life with), and a Timothy (someone into challenge and mentor).  At Compassion Christian, the Men’s Ministry is missioned with providing the opportunity to develop your Table of Influence.

So, what is a Blacksmith?  In keeping with the Men’s Ministry’s theme of “The Forge” – taken from Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one person (man) sharpens another” – the Blacksmiths a group of men trained to lead small groups of men.  They have been nurtured through Men’s Community, Lead (or Co-Lead) Small Groups, and have the desire to see the men (of all ages) of Compassion find and develop their Table of Influence.

If you are interested in learning what being a leader of boys, young men, family men, seasoned men looks like, join us for a taste of Blacksmith training.  You will be challenged to take your walk to the next level.

We provide practical solutions to real world leadership challenges that are scalable, measurable and sustainable. This experience and knowledge comes from over 40 years of combined military experience of the partners, Steve Curran and Matt Rogie. The both continued to serve for another decade in ministry roles where they were fighting for the highest possible good of those they lead.
