Today we talked about gender differences in spiritual direction. The lecture was fine, but I couldn’t listen very well. Why, you ask? Because the Holy Spirit grabbed me and not let me go. Get ready men…this is for you. I know we’ve been trying to ignite men’s ministry at ECC with limited success, a situation that has been weighing on me. I’d love for you men to have something as powerful and bonding as the women have with their retreat. But what could it be? How about QUEST Men’s Ministry?
QUEST…
Questioning
Understanding
Exploring
Strengthening
Together
QUEST is mission, study, and adventure. I don’t know exactly what this looks like yet, but I can envision a weekend retreat with all three components combined. Or maybe day trips where we engage in mission followed by a time of study and reflection. Adventure too. Is anybody up for hiking at Starved Rock? A study on spiritual wilderness could easily follow. Or a day of challenge and team work on a ropes course? That goes nicely with Paul’s Body of Christ imagery.
Intrigued? Let me know what you think.
Cursillo comes to mind
Visions of Golgotha, how humbling to look up!
