Mancation

This afternoon, I will be taking off for the weekend to The Man Cave's second annual Mancation. We will be at the beautiful Granlibakken resort in Tahoe City. I'll be leading worship this weekend, which is always a great thrill. There is something about a room full of men who are hungry for God, singing and worshiping without a care of what others will think of them. As we say, it's a safe place with a dangerous message. 

In the year and a half since The Cave started, we have seen some very special things. We hear incredible stories, most commonly from the wives and children of men who have been influenced positively by The Man Cave. We've seen men turn away from a life of alcoholism. So many of the men have been dealing with unemployment issues, trouble paying the bills, businesses collapsing, and so much more. Even those who haven't experienced desperate times find a refreshing presence in and among the men of The Cave.

I was very surprised to find that God would put me in a place of ministry in such a venue, but it has been pretty incredible. I'm excited to see what God has in store over the next 48 hours.
