Lesson 22 | What Salt & Light Can Do

Join Pat Morley as we explore one of Jesus’ clearest descriptions of what a disciple is meant to be: salt and light. In a world that often feels dark, confused, and morally adrift, Jesus calls His followers to preserve what’s good, illuminate what’s true, and help people find their way home to God. We’ll talk about why many men slowly lose their distinctiveness, how we as disciples can influence the culture without becoming part of the culture, and what it looks like to live a visible faith that points people toward Jesus. A real man doesn’t blend into the world. He quietly changes it.

Lesson 21 - What Is Happiness, and How Do You Get It?

Join Pat Morley as we begin a new subseries on the Sermon on the Mount by exploring one of life’s biggest questions: What does it really mean to be happy, and where is happiness found? In the Beatitudes, Jesus turns the world’s definition of happiness upside down. He describes the kind of men who are truly “blessed”—not men driven by ego, image, anger, achievement, or performance, but men marked by humility, mercy, purity, courage, integrity, and dependence on God. The world promises happiness through success, approval, and control. Jesus offers something deeper: the kind of flourishing the world can promise but never deliver. Together, we’ll explore why the qualities Jesus called “blessed” are still the foundation for becoming fully alive today. It’s going to be a great day!

More Than Advice | Guest Speaker Andy Searles

Guest speaker Pastor Andy Searles will help us explore 1 Thessalonians 2:7–12 and uncover Paul’s powerful blueprint for investing in men through compassion, consistency, encouragement, and purpose. Men don’t simply need more advice—they need steady, godly men who will show up, walk with them, and call them higher. This timely study (considering Train Like the Twelve) will equip you to make someone a bit stronger and wiser.

Lesson 19 | Jesus Is Lord of Everything

In the Sabbath encounters, Jesus unequivocally shows us that compassion trumps man-made rules and regulations--every time! And, in His school of discipleship, He wants His disciples—then and now—to do the same. Join us as we learn to lead others with compassion and courage.

What is Jesus doing in your life right now?

I was out of commission and unable to teach a live session, so instead we held an open mic.We asked the local group men to share in 3–4 minutes what God has been doing in their life as a result of gathering with their small group and the teachings of Jesus in Train Like the Twelve. As we’re learning to let Jesus do for us what He did for the Twelve, I'd love to hear from you how God is working in your life, your group. Any new insight you’ve gained—great. Any transformation you’ve seen—even better. So instead, we’ll do what Jesus often did with His disciples—pause and reflect on what God is doing among us. This weeks recording will hopefully help get your group talking about how God is at work in them.
