“Because we bear the image of God in our strength, because we are a ’stem of that victorious stock,’ there’s one thing we all know: We are made to come through. And yet we wonder, Can I? Will I? When the going gets rough, when it really matters, can I really pull it off? That is why every man shares the same core fear of being exposed, being “found out,” that something will happen and he’ll be revealed to be an impostor, and not really a man. Are you aware of that fear? Where would you hate to be called upon to come through, because you don’t know whether or not you can come through?” (Wild at Heart Field Manual. pg 62)

Those questions are at the core of Awaken the Giant. As men, we must be willing to “come through”, no matter how fearful it may be. I can assure on the other side of the fear is not what we imagine. It is glorious victory, but few men ever experience it because of fear. So, I leave you with Eldredge one more time, “”Where would you hate to be called upon to come through?”

Let there be no rest until the fight is over,

Our theme, “The Second Turning”, is about men rising from quiet lives, settled in the shadows, to becoming men fully alive in a brotherhood of strength, vision, and accountability. We are men made for such a day as this. Our families, churches and community need men of “power, love and sound mind.”

Last year we sought to awaken men, letting them see their strength as men, and encouraged a rising power in the brotherhood of Christian men through small groups.

This year we are seeking to move men to impact. Our speakers Ted Roberts and Mike Slater are prepared to ignite a revolution, starting with men of the Central Coast.

Over 300 men attended ATG last year. This year we are expecting over 500. Don’t miss out on what God is doing on the Central Coast. The time has come for a new movement in men’s ministry. ATG II: The Second Turning will be an event to change your life. Looking forward to seeing you there.

Stay Strong,
