The following is an excerpt from a YouTube video in which Baltimore Ravens Kicker, Matt Stover, testifies of how Men’s Fraternity impacted his life.
“As I was growing up in Dallas, Texas, there were three things that defined you as a man: your athletic ability, how many girls you had chasing you at any one time, and your monetary success. In fact, society today has really defined men in those types of areas. Once I entered the NFL, I was able to acquire these three, but found that as a man, I still had a lot of unanswered questions.
It wasn’t until Jesus Christ came into my heart, that I realized those things were not an expression of authentic manhood and that no other person modeled true masculinity better then Jesus Christ. In my Christian walk, I made some progress in many areas as a man but my growth didn’t really take off until I attended a Men’s Fraternity. The Men’s Fraternity gave me direction by defining what an authentic man looked liked. I learned that I needed other men in my life who could model for me what a real man should be. My relationship with my wife greatly improved as I became the man that she needed in her life.
Every one of the men at the Men’s Fraternity were going through the same process, so we could encourage each other as we began our quest toward authentic manhood together. The entire experience was life changing for me.
I want to challenge each and every man to get involved in a Men’s Fraternity and become a part of a group of men that struggle just like you do, so that you can grow together and have the greatest impact for the Kingdom of God.” -Matt Stover
