Winning at Work and Home, a 16-session study, focuses on the two areas that are central to a man's life: career and family.

What is Men's Fraternity?

Men's Fraternity is a series of three one-year-long studies, beginning with The Quest for Authentic Manhood, followed by Authentic Manhood: Winning at Work and Home, and concluding with The Great Adventure series. More than just a rally or a Bible study, Men's Fraternity provides men with an encouraging process that teaches them how to live lives of authentic manhood as modeled by Jesus Christ and directed by the Word of God.

Men's Fraternity was designed to help men come together and strengthen each other through weekly sessions that combine biblical teaching and small group interaction.

These time-tested resources have been used all over the world to equip men to make their pursuit of noble manhood a lifelong priority. Church leaders and lay members are using the series to energize the men of their church and to connect with men in the community. Many men also use the series in their own personal pursuit of authentic manhood.

THE ORIGIN
Men's Fraternity was created by Robert Lewis, pastor-at-large of Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock, Arkansas and author of Raising a Modern Day Knight. It began in 1990 with 30 participants as Robert strived to connect with and challenge the men of his church. Over the years it has developed into a series of studies designed to engage the heart as well as the mind, stripping away the myths of manhood, and focusing on how each individual can be transformed into a true man of God. Now, more than 15,000 groups of men attend a weekly Men's Fraternity meeting globally.



FOR MEN ONLY - Pastor Cross

ARE YOU JOHN WAYNE OR JOHNNIE DEPP? 

The picture of manhood has gone through a major transformation over the past 50 years. John Wayne used to
be the example of manhood in the US. Today someone said it is Johnny Depp. Which are you? Are you taking
responsibility or running from it? Are you standing strong when the Indians (bad things) are attacking, or are
you running? Are you standing against evil, or participating in it? Are you going to work, or having your woman
work for you?

WHAT IS A REAL MAN?

Today we don’t seem to know what a man looks like anymore. I wanted to take a moment and look at what a
real man is. He is a man that goes to work everyday, earns a living and provides for his responsibilities. He
is a man that loves one woman and has eyes only for her. He is a man that not only produces children,
but raises them. He takes responsibility for his actions, his family and his community. He pays his bills.
He sacrifices for those he loves. He comes home at night, because home is where his heart is. 

He is someone that wants a woman for a lifetime, not just for a nighttime. He is someone who doesn’t blame
where he is, today, on others. He is someone who can keep a job. He is someone that can be counted on.
He is someone that is looking for something to give his life to. He is a risk taker. He is someone that realizes
that he is a role model and doesn’t run from it. He is someone that doesn’t demand respect, but live respectable.
He is someone that his name is important to him, so he does his best to keep it good.
