MASCULINE VIRTUE: LEADERSHIP FOR THE HOME, CHURCH & WORLD
There is a critical need in this moment to rediscover masculine virtue, recapture the imaginations of men and to develop masculine leaders for their homes, the church and the world. The health of every generation hinges on masculine leadership. But, the needs of this moment are unique.
Join us as we walk though Paul’s commands in 1st Corinthians and reclaim key elements of masculine formation for the blessing and benefit of others.
In late 2022 the leadership at Frontline Church began to feel a burden for the men of the church, for them to be reminded of who God has called them to be: free from the weights that steal their identity. In January of 2023, 600 men gathered to hear God’s word, worship, pray for each other, and turn hearts back to God.
These are the messages, confessions, and reflections that filled our time together.

MASCULINE CREED
I am a man. Made by God. Made for God.
I am not my own.
I belong to God, body and soul.
and fear Him above all peoples.
I reflect my Father’s goodness
to my family and the world around me as a provider and a protector.
I take responsibility for my actions
and watch over what God has given to me.
I give my life away
having a kingdom vision for the world,
zeal for the house of the Lord
and a godly ambition to advance the kingdom of God through my work.
I yield my life—
my heart’s wanderings, my mind’s imagination,
my soul’s longings, and my strength’s abilities—
to faith in Jesus.
I surrender to a fraternity
of Christian brothers who know me, fight for me, fight along side of me,
and offer me faithful wounds
that I would follow Jesus more deeply.
I am a man. Made by God. Made for God.
I will be watchful, stand firm,
act like a man, be strong,
and do everything in love.

AFFIRMATIONS & DENIALS
