Armor Up!
There is a constant spiritual battle going on, and too often we ignore
it. When the battle then comes to our doorstep, we aren’t ready. In this
session we look to St. Paul’s preparation plan for these battles, readying
ourselves and our families for defense against the evil one.

SCRIPTURE & CHURCH TEACHING
TALK SUMMARY
Christ-Centered or You-centered?
The concept is simple: the version of masculinity that the world offers
puts man at the center of everything. The version that the Church offers
puts Christ at the center. One offers false-fulfillment, empty promises, and
fleeting victories, while the other one offers complete fulfillment, promises
kept and eternal victory.
