Spring is finally upon us and I for one am grateful for its arrival after a long and difficult winter. Based on the feedback we received from guys who attended our February International event, The Calling with Gary Barkalow (www.thenobleheart.com) the weekend was a great success. Many men are looking forward to taking the next step and are excited about participating in an upcoming Calling Intensive. Pictures and feedback can be seen on our web site, www.menoflife.com.

Speaking of web sites, ours is about to undergo a face lift. We have a new man on board, Ben Davidson who will be helping out in the media department. He is heading west to Colorado at the end of the month to attend a Ransomed Heart Boot Camp. We are looking forward to the stories of his journey and to what Ben will bring to this ministry.

While Men of Life focuses primarily on the hearts of men we are cognizant that without our brides none of us would be the men we are today. If your bride could use a love bath then we highly recommend you bring the two weekends listed below to her attention. It has been our experience that she may need a bit of coaxing as it is not easy for her to leave her husband and family and do something like attend a weekend event, but if she does she will no doubt be refreshed and restored. So go for it men – encourage her!
