My Sword

Men,

Its truly an honor to be in your band.

The gift of the sword has in parted to me an overwhelming feeling of gratitude which can only symbolize the love of the Father for us. My present feeling is a mere epiphany of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Please allow me the privilege to wield it well by continuing to pray for us all.

My heart is filled appreciation of knowing the Father God made us Warrior-Kings for His Glory.

Our call is to not leave one man behind. Let us move forward with Wild Goose as our guide.

I must tell this awesome story.

This Tuesday Night - Women! God what were you thinking?

Brethren;

-We approach Tuesday Night with fear and trembling….and hope!

Several of us (it will take a squad!) will be leading the exploration of THE BEAUTY.

-What she desires.

-How God has made us to relate her.

-Why the Man & Woman thing gets so MESSED up.

-How we can move into her life with strength.

This is a particularly crucial issue with most of us…which leads us to believe there is an enemy that will throw some things at you to keep you from joining us.

Look forward to being with you….Kevin, Haines & Crew

7:00 p.m. – 9 p.m. at the barn

5:30-ish til 6:44 @ Showmars for pre-Barn Meal.

Reminder: BRING A CHAIR to the barn if you're able.

The mojo is already rolling for a large group from our area to be a part of the TOP GUN 2009 retreat…Click Here for promo with Michael Thompson and crew.

www.zoweh.com will give you a chance to reserve a spot and sign up…I'm told you can begin by making a 50% deposit and paying the balance at the March event.

Fwd: FW: God's Wild Men at The Barn

Men...

I hope that you are finding yourself walking in strength, drawing closer to the Father, and asking His guidance as you walk in your true identity (exactly who He created you to be).

Last week we had an awesome time of fellowship as we enjoyed the cookout, campfire, and a provoking movie with a great story...

This week we press on into the second half of the series with "A Battle to Fight"! We are excited to have our allies from New Wilderness Adventures "on point" for this weeks formation.

If you have missed the last couple of weeks, you will not want to miss this weeks gathering!

Remember...the enemy comes to steal kill, and destroy...his tactics include discouragement, accusation, shame, distractions and anything else that would keep you from engaging!

Here is what is coming up for "the home stretch" of the series at "The Barn"

Tuesday, Nov 25 – Mark Folk and his team from New Wilderness Adventures (based in Shelby http://newwildernessadventures.com/) will be sharing about "The Battle"

Tuesday, Dec 2 – Michael Thompson from Zoweh Ministries (www.zoweh.com) from Durham/Chapel Hill) will be leading us through a session on The Adventure that God has called us to be a part of.

Tuesday, Dec 9 – Local talent will lead us through some thoughts on The Beauty. No elaboration – come at your own risk.

Tuesday, Dec 16 – Wrap up focuses on moving forward in a Band of Brothers.

Sessions run from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.

5:30 – 6:50 p.m. Drop in at Showmars at SC HWY 160 and 521/Johnston Road south of Ballantyne. Back left hand corner of restaurant in semi-private room.

We hope to see you all this Tuesday!

Strength and Honor!

Greetings Men!

Yes we will be meeting Tuesday Night!...Go Vote and come on out!!

I hope that you have all had a great week and that you are fighting the Good Fight!

Last week we ventured into what was probably "uncharted territory" for many of you as we tried to discover those areas in our lives where we are hiding…or "posing". I hope that you have asked of The Father to reveal those places in your life as you Walk with God...and. if you think that you are not Posing in some way…well…we will see…

This week….The wound…..we must recognize and deal with the poser! We must also go to the wound! A wound that can't be touched, is a wound that is not healed….The enemy does not want you at the barn this week!..You must be intentional and press on.

Now , for a couple of reminders and updates…

1) Read up Through Chapters 4 and 5 in "Wild at Heart"!

2) If you have the field manual, work your way through a few of the questions regarding "The Poser"…If you don't have a field manual, see the PDF file attachment to this email and work through a couple of the questions there.

3) Men…This is our third week. I hope the small groups are working well for you…It is such an encouragement to see you, and hear how you are getting together with each other…even one on ones. This will bare much fruit in your lives as you continue to walk in restoration and Life! ENGAGE!! Let nothing stand in the way of you doing what you can to walk in your true identity and strength with other men!

this week we have closed any additional participation during this series. This will become very important as we spend more time together in our formation and Individual Platoons. If you know of someone who would like to attend at a later date, there will be other initiatives starting plus we have several allies that may be starting a series that we can plug them in to!

Men! Stick with this…Do not let the enemy take you out…He will try (If he hasn't made an attempt already)

If you have questions feel free to call me at 704-xxx-xxxx

Strength and Honor!

Wild at Heart - Session Three Questions

Session
Three – The Wound

I need to clarify three things when it comes to finding our “wounds”

First, it is not necessarily one clear wound, given on an unforgettable day you remember in detail. Many men can recall the day they received a soul-wound from their father that somehow defined the rest of their relationship with him. But for others, it is an accumulation of subtle wounds and messages give over time. Second, I believe that every man carries a wound(s). No matter how good a man your father was, and may still be, he is not Jesus Christ. Every father is a son of Adam, and every father himself grew up on a world
far from Eden. Given these two Biblical truths, be very, very cautious to come to the conclusion that you somehow escaped the father-wound. Your father may have repented deeply of his own false self as a young man, and been substantially healed of his own wound before he fathered you. But that is a rare, rare case. Finally, you have been born into a world at war. A war over the souls of men. The enemy desires to steal, kill and destroy - YOU. It is highly unlikely that he has not been successful in wounding your soul at some point in your life. Do not dismiss the assault of the enemy as you identify your wounds.

1. What is/are your wound(s)? Can you put words to it? Do you remember how
   it was given, the way it came?

   
   

2. And what was the message of the wound – or the series of wounds? What did it say to you about yourself?

   
   

3. What agreements have you made about who you are – in essence saying “This is the way I am”? Have you ever considered deeply why you are “this way?”

   
   

4. Can you remember making a sort of vow when you were younger – maybe after being wounded? What was the vow?

   
   

5. What did you father “name” you – what identity did he bestow on you as a boy and young man?

   
   

6. Some wounds originate due to absence – physical, emotional, spiritual. “Not receiving a blessing from your father is an injury. Not seeing your father when you are small, never being with him, having a remote father, a workaholic father, is an injury.” Did you receive a wound of this type?

   
   

7. Do you live each day with a deep inner strength that comes from knowing you are a real man, that you have what it takes? Or are you a driven man, or a passive man? When did that feeling of drivenness or passivity set in? Did it originate during a certain period of life?

8. Many men take their “question” to the woman and want her to validate them as men. For a passive man it may mean you need to stand up to your wife. For a violent man (including achievers) it means stop abusing her. Many men make the woman their adventure. How have you handled the woman in your life? What have you been seeking from her?
   

   
   

9. What would you love to have heard from your father?

Tuesday Night Men's meeting at the Barn: Oct 28, 2008

Greetings Men!

I hope that you have all had a great week and that you are fighting the Good Fight!

It is so exciting to see the hunger of the men that long to get their hearts back, find their place in the battle, and do so within a "Band of Brothers"!!

Last week we launched our Fall Initiative at "the barn" and had the largest group of men we've ever had. We appreciate you hanging in there as we endeavor to follow the Holy Spirit and make adjustments.

I just wanted to send out a couple of reminders and updates…

1) Read up Through Chapter 3 in "Wild at Heart"!

2) If you have the field manual, work your way through a few of the questions regarding "The Poser"…If you don't have a field manual, see the PDF file attachment to this email and work through a couple of the questions there.

3) Please bring a chair if you have one!! This will help us in the large Formation as well as the Platoon Breakouts!

4) I am going to order "Wild at Heart Field Manuals" this week…The cost will be $11.50 each… It looked like at least two dozen men needed them by show of hands last week…Their will be an request sheet for you to sign this week if you want one…please bring cash or check this week (if cash, please bring correct change) Checks can be made out to Kevin Casner and I'll give you a receipt and make one big order.

5) Reminder…we are requesting a one time facility use fee of $20.00 each, for the entire 8 to 9 week series. This will help pay some utilities, provide water and misc. supplies for us to use at the Barn…If you cannot afford the $20.00, please see me personally…WE WANT YOU HERE! You may also bring a few dollars each time if it works better. There will be a Basket for this near the sign up sheet and "Prayer Request" Ammo Box

6) Prayer Request…We have an "Ammo Box" for Prayer request…Cards and pen are located on the same location…Your request will be prayed for!

7) We have a couple of Brave young men who are students at Morningstar who want to come to this, but do not have transportation! If you live in/near or drive by the Regent Park area and can help these guys out...Please give me a call at 704-xxx-xxxx or email me at kcasner@

After this week we will close any additional participation during this series. This will become very important as we spend more time together in our formation and Individual Platoons. If you know of someone who would like to attend at a later date, there will be other initiatives starting plus we have several allies that may be starting a series that we can plug them in to!

Men! Stick with this…Do not let the enemy take you out…He will try (If he hasn't made an attempt already)

If you have questions feel free to call me at 704-xxx-xxxx

Strength and Honor!

Fwd: New Stuff goin' on at THe Barn

Brothers…….I'd like to encourage you to join us at the Barn the next number of Tuesdays (starting tomorrow night) for a Wild at Heart series inspired by John Eldredge, Erwin McManus (The Barbarian Way) and others. A number of guys (including guest appearances from some great men from afar – Shelby to Durham to D.C.) will be helping to lead this journey into a deeper understanding of the warrior hearts that God has given each of us.

7 p.m. til 9 p.m. at The Barn on Tuesday nights

5:30-6:45 the Food Crew will be dining at Showmars ~ 521 & SC 160

This book (Wild at Heart) and this video series has had more impact on my spiritual walk than any other thing I've ever done.

My prayer is that it would impact you as well and that you would spread it to other men in the future.

If you're not able to attend, we covet your prayers. God is stirring up a BUNCH of men in the region and it's clear to me that whatever the Lord calls and ordains…the enemy fiercely opposes.

Fighting together in the battle.

Kevin,

Hey,

This is Mark Rodenhauser, I just started attending the Wild At Heart Men's night at the Barn. I am also in ministry and I teach the gospel through horsemanship. I will be teaching a neat Unbridled Round Pen Devotion at a friends ranch this Saturday, it's called "His Barn" and it is just down the road from the barn where we meet. It's just off of Possum Hollow and 521. Anyway, I was wondering if you would like to let the men and their families know about the fall Festival I'll be doing my presentation at. I didn't want to send this to all the men on the list without asking you first.

Anyway, here is the link to the "HIs Barn" website www.hisbarn.com and a link to my ministry website if you would like to know more about me and the ministry God has through us.

www.TheCornerstoneRanch.com

Below is an invitation I have sent out to my mailing list, if you would like you can forward it on to the men please feel free, or if you would like me to do so I can take care of it as well, just let me know so I can keep an eye out for some of the men!

Thanks!

Unbridled in Christ,

Mark
