The Four Priorities
Tuesday, 02 June 2009 16:59
What is the Four Priorities?
A new book by Dr. John Tolson and Larry Kreider provides a process for applying wellness-centered, Biblical principles that revolutionize personal life as well as the life of the local church.
The book, The Four Priorities: Life is Too Short to Get It Wrong, confronts life's voids, challenges and demonstrates how to "get it right" through a personal, progressive commitment to Christ, self-valuation, relationship building and community connections. The new book hopes to bring direction and focus to thousands of churches and millions of believers across the United States. Exponential multiplication is the outcome of The Four Priorities.
What's Inside?
The Four Priorities uses a creative mix of real-world case studies and scriptural analogies to identify with readers. It measures your "got right" factor and forces the answers to tough questions, such as "Have you left an imprint on the lives of people and your community?" It then presents a pathway to achieving the following four priorities which characterize a successful, balanced way of life.
- Priority 1: A personal, progressive commitment to Jesus Christ
- Priority 2: A personal, progressive commitment to yourself
- Priority 3: A personal, progressive commitment to relationships
- Priority 4: A personal, progressive commitment to the work of Christ in the world
Suggested Timelines and Uses
As the authors take readers through these four categories of life, they provide hands-on tools at the end of each chapter, such as a list of "Daily Reflection Questions" that can be used for individual reading or leading a small group.
There are 40 chapters with 40 topics/outlines that are designed to be read and worked through in a small group. The authors intend for those who complete the material to be equipped with the Christ-centered outlook on life so that they can make the greatest impact on their family, community and the world. There have been 150 men throughout Palm Beach County that have completed The Gathering's 24 week schedule. Each Priority is discussed in six-week sessions. Contact Bob Schuemann, 561-622-4913, about beginning a group in your church or workplace.
The Goals and Objectives with this Book?
Originally created in 2003 by Tolson and Kreider, The Four Priorities was used as a study curriculum for The Gathering, a national men's outreach ministry and community service organization Tolson founded in 1978. The authors have adapted the material into its current workbook style with the objective of teaching the principles on how to become a person of high impact. The goal is for the book to be used in seminars, churches and small groups in 25 cities within the next decade.

Joshua's Men
Wednesday, 03 June 2009 10:30
This is "a one year journey of mentoring men in leadership and spiritual formation". In 2000, Bob Schuemann began Joshua's Men I with a group of men from six different churches. These men committed for one year to a process that would develop their leadership potential and Christian character. The men meet once a month and discuss a different topic each session. J-Men read a book and cover a variety of subjects: leadership, spiritual disciplines, people skills, communication, family leadership, evangelism, prayer and also develop a life mission statement. They also are involved in two retreats to deepen their relationships with each other and have a family picnic for all men who have been involved in Joshua's Men. Upon "graduation", J-Men are encouraged to get involved in a ministry and especially become involved in a leadership role in their church.

Suddenly a man's "harmless" pastime becomes a destructive habit
- Every Second-$3,075.64 is being spent on pornography
- Every Second-28,258 Internet users are viewing pornography
- Every Second-372 Internet users are typing adult search terms into search engines
- Every 39 minutes- a new pornographic video is being created in the United States
These statistics and many more are overwhelming!! Many men are in bondage to pornography leading to a slippery slope of sexual addiction. Many men are fighting Secret Wars of sexual addiction and pornography. Most are reluctant to seek help. But men don't have to struggle alone and become casualties. They can win these battles. How about you?

You may ask: is there hope?...healing?... a place I can go to be understood and to be encouraged and held accountable for my actions so I can break free? The Gathering provides TWO opportunities to meet with a group of men who care about you and want to help you become free.
