Quiet Strength W/ A Purpose!

I have always like NFL football coach, Tony Dungy. Two weeks ago he retired from coaching at the peak of his career. When asked why he was leaving while still being young enough and successful enough to coach in the NFL.....Tony Dungy was very clear. He said that his purpose in life was to honor God and help reach men and boys with the life changing message of Jesus Christ. Football to him was a passion and career that he enjoyed AND it gave him a platform to pursue his purpose. However, now, he feels like he can do more in attaining his purpose by taking his wealth and status and focusing directly on the mission/purpose God has given him. He plans to start ministries in Tampa and Indianapolis for men and those boys without fathers. That is a man who knows who he is and what is most important in life!

A few years ago Tony Dungy wrote the book Quiet Strength. I read it and loved it! This book chronicles his life and more specifically his belief system on how to live in today's world as a godly man. This book has been turned into a great Bible study and mens group discussion. I want to invite any man reading this BLOG to join other men on Thursday nights here at Team Church for the next few weeks. It will be a great time to learn, grow and become the man God wants you to be....and also the man, husband, boyfriend, employee, employer or whatever life setting you find yourself. It starts each Thursday night at 7pm.

Also, Team Kid and Pursuit is TONIGHT! Doors open at 6:30 both start at 7pm.
