Have You Seen Stepping Up: A Call to Courageous Manhood?

I spent some time this week with a very powerful men’s study from FamilyLife and LifeWay. Stepping Up: A Call to Courageous Manhood is a 10 session study that is based on Dennis Rainey’s book by the same title that is designed to help men discover what it means to step up and live a courageous life. Although this study has been out for several years, if you missed it like I did, you need to take a look.

DVD-driven, every session is anchored by a very well produced video segment with teaching from Dennis Rainey and featuring vignettes from a powerful list pastors and communicators (James McDonald, Stu Webar, Bill Bennett, Matt Chandler, Crawford Loritts, Voddie Baucham, Joshua Harris and many others). The video segments unpack what biblical manhood looks like and what it means to be a godly, courageous man in today’s world. Through engaging stories, expert teaching, humorous vignettes, man-on-the-street interviews, and personal insights, these men’s ministry leaders “call every man to become courageous leaders in their own lives, marriages, churches, and communities (from the cover).”

The Stepping Up workbook is also very good. A simple but very well crafted set of group discussion questions helps participants process the topic of the session. Three personal exercises are included in every week’s assignment as well as the opportunity to develop a “stepping up plan.” Finally, every session also includes a step beyond section that will help men that want to go further to go deeper.

Stepping Up is powerful stuff! If you’re looking for a men’s study that will help the men in your church take an important step forward, I can highly recommend that you take a look at Stepping Up: A Call to Courageous Manhood.
