Men's Retreat at Sandy Cove
The Power of Living Beneath the Surface
October 24-26, 2008
WHAT A MAN IS BENEATH THE SURFACE IMPACTS EVERYTHING HE DOES ABOVE THE SURFACE...

It’s easy for a man to appear pretty good on the surface, but secretly live in fear, weariness and disillusionment. Beneath the surface, most men are thirsty for fulfillment. Since God emphasizes a man’s heart over his appearance, it is vital to purify, protect and nurture our inner lives. The heart serves as our internal headquarters, deeply affected by real issues of life - relationships, "success sickness," unresolved pain, isolation, identity and God.
This Weekend Men Will Discover:
- Freedom which comes from being honest with God
- How to impact your world by living out the definition of true manhood
- Healing from wounds of the past
- What it means to be a hero to your family
- Leaving a legacy that makes an eternal difference
