What Is A Man (Week 10) Genesis 32-33

by Mike Haddorff

Jacob has crossed over into what we are calling “the second half of life.” It was his capacity to recognize and acknowledge his limitation, in his case, fear, which allowed this passage. We have learned how limitations are actually opportunities for growth. We have also learned how release of control is the means by which […]

What Is A Man (Week 9) Genesis 31

by Mike Haddorff

We have been looking at how our growth as a human being is directly correlated to our ability to release control. The opportunity for growth is triggered by what we are calling necessary limits. In today’s session, after a short review, we spend time around the table discussing these ideas and how they relate to […]

What Is A Man (Week 7) Genesis 31

by Mike Haddorff

It appears to me that there are two distinct phases within a man’s life. The two are governed somewhat by age but not entirely. For example, it is possible for an older man to have never made the transition and thus still be operating from a first half of life mindset. When we see such […]

What Is A Man (Week-6) Genesis 27-28

by Mike Haddorff

Today we wrap up the ascent portion of our study. Before moving on to the next section I asked the Moot Men to assess their own ascent through identification with the key terms we have been discussing. We used an on-line Polling Tool which proved to be enjoyable and enlightening. I hope you find it […]

What Is A Man (Week 5) Genesis 27-28

by Mike Haddorff

We have been looking at the early phase in a man’s life characterized by the word ascent. We have identified key factors that contribute to a healthy development during this stage of life. When these factors are missing a deep deficit is created within the young man. As we examine Jacob’s brother Esau we see […]

What Is A Man (week 4) Genesis 27-28

by Mike Haddorff

We have been examining the components within a healthy male ascent, illustrated from the life of Jacob. But what happens when these components are not present in a young man’s life? Today we look at the young Esau and then discuss his experience in light of what we see happening around us today.     […]

We have identified these three stages through our observation of Jacob’s formative years. We will daw our observations from three texts.     Download week 1.mp3 – Right click on this link and […]

What Is A Man (week 2) Genesis 25-27

by Mike Haddorff

The first stage of a man’s journey is Ascent. This stage is all about becoming. During this stage, the concerns are these types of questions. Where will I go to school? What kind of job will I get? Who will I marry? How much money will I make? Underlying these questions is a natural longing […]

What Is A Man (week 1) Genesis 25-27

by Mike Haddorff

Overview Today we begin a new series entitled, “What Is A Man.” My father’s generation generally understood manhood in terms of being the family provider, the protector, being trust worthy and over all acting responsibly. If we were able to return to that time to solicit the street opinion we we would find close variations […]
