We are living in a time when manhood is under constant attack, homes are being divided, and roles are being challenged and redefined. Masculinity has become distorted and more and more men feel isolated and alone, adrift upon a sea of confusion without mentors or role models to bring them back to the shore of masculine strengthand authority.

Here’s a few statistics: 91% of prison inmates come from fatherless homes, 63% of child suicides come from fatherless homes, 71% of pregnant teenagers lack a father. Fatherless boys and girls are: twice as likely to drop out of high school; twice as likely to end up in jail; four times more likely to need help for emotional or behavioral problems.

This is why we need men to step up! God has ordained men to be the head of the home; meaning the protector and provider, literally the gatekeeper and last line of defense between the enemy and our families.  Register today and we’ll see you at EMERGE 2014!
