Synopsis

Beyond the sports and weather chatter and silence that characterize many male conversations, there is often brokenness. Emptiness. Shame. Have you ever been pushed into a men's group because someone said it was the right thing to do?In Bond of Brothers, Yoder calls disappointed, disenchanted, and lonely men to authenticity. To rediscover joy, to find satisfaction, by finding out what real male friendship and relationship is all about.In Bond of Brothers, we will discover:Why our career and performance at work are not our identitiesHow to defeat the fears that come to us in the "Tough Years"What to do when we are too worried to forgive or too hurt to smileWhy spiritual friendships are the central, life-giving core of all healthy relationships among men.Yoder says that being there to comfort, to love, to listen, to take a step toward Jesus together in our brokenness . . . that is the essence of friendship. Instead of pushing or being pushed into men's groups, learn with others how to invite friends along. Begin a journey toward authenticity and your true identity. Starting here!
