A 7 WEEK JOURNEY FOR YOUNG MEN
A 7-Week Journey for Young Men to Walk in Sexual Integrity & True Freedom
Most young men today are silently struggling with sexual temptation, shame, and unwanted behaviors.
Pornography, secrecy, and isolation are robbing them of confidence, purpose, and connection with God and others.Â
-->The cycle feels endless.
-->The shame feels overwhelming.
-->And most don’t know how to break free.
Why This Matters
Patterns start now!
The habits and secrecy you carry into adulthood don’t disappear when you get married — they grow.
But freedom starts now too.
This course is about setting young men up for integrity, intimacy, and leadership in every area of life.
