The Real Win: Pursuing God's Plan for Authentic Success - Member Book

The Real Win: Pursuing God's Plan for Authentic Success - Member Book will help you discover what true success for a man looks like, particularly as a follower of Jesus Christ. Modeled after hunting/fishing shows, two men―Colt McCoy, record-setting Texas Longhorns quarterback now in the NFL, and Matt Carter, pastor of The Austin Stone Community Church―explore the essence and purpose of biblical manhood with the men and family who shaped them. Six lessons focus on the individual characteristics of being a man, including: leadership, faithfulness/trust, idolatry, work, pursuing your wife, and leaving a legacy. Accompanying videos cover Colt and Matt and other family members on hunting and fishing trips at two legendary Texas ranches. This is a great resource for men who don't usually attend Bible studies since it involves a popular sports figure and the visual experience of hunting.

Features:

• 6 sessions
• questions for personal reflection
• discussion helps for each of the six small-group sessions
• less text than a typical Member Book for easier reading
