Join A Husband Material Group!

"I walked into this group feeling anxious and scared, but I swore to myself that I would always be honest no matter what. I just knew that whatever happened, I couldn’t lie anymore. And then this!!! I was honest and myself and dug deep into the pain and jammed my fingers into the gaping wounds that I’d been trying to cover up with bandaids for so many years. The reward I received for this bravery was love and acceptance. I’m blown away... This is the first time I’ve been my fullest and truest self, and I have no words to describe how it feels for this to be received with such love and affirmation. To be called a lighthouse and masculine and affirmed in just me being me—I’ve NEVER experienced this. I don’t have words to describe how tonight spoke to my soul. I wish I did."

"I was feeling completely stuck. I needed some hope and change in my life. Through the story work we did, I felt so loved and cared for by our group. God has used it to fill some deep holes. Man-sized holes. I was looking for illegitimate love and attention and intimacy from porn and other things. I feel like I found legitimate love from Drew and our group: the men God has put into my life. My need for male affection and affirmation is getting filled, and it is causing me to not want to fill it as I have for decades—with the wrong things."

"Going through the group has been amazing, painful, dysregulating, scary...but also liberating and freeing (with lots of tears). It has awakened a belief that I can have compassion on myself, because other men have compassion on me even when they hear the ugliest, most disgusting stories from my life. They still loved me. They pursued me. They gave me hope that I was lovable and desirable as a friend. I haven’t believed that for a very long time. I have gained hope that I can leave the pain, regret and shame behind with the help of coming into community and finding grace from others. I am also coming to understand that Jesus actually has compassion on me and that little boy who was so confused and lonely and abused. I am coming to the point where I can finally believe that I am God's beloved son and in me He is well pleased."

"Wow, just wow! It's so hard to put into words what happened last night in our meeting. I have never felt in my life such love and affirmation at one time from men or anyone for that matter. At the end of my time of being affirmed I felt so full that it was hard to hold it all in. My body was jittery and my legs and feet were going crazy. It was overwhelming to receive but in a good and powerful way. It was also a privilege to speak words of affirmation over the other amazing men. Reflecting back on the past 12 weeks, it is hard to comprehend everything that happened in such a short period of time."
