    KINSMEN: Our Need for Prayer

    In this episode, we continue our series on what we need as men. Today's emphasis is on prayer. It may sound obvious, but the reality is many of us shy away from deeper, and more intimate prayer life. Whether you're looking to kickstart a more frequent and consistent prayer time, or you're compelled to invite others regularly to join you in prayer. This episode will encourage you to take action in this most important area of our life.

    KINSMEN: Our need for elders

    What role do elders play in our lives, and why do we need them? In this episode, we explore the value of having older men who are full of wisdom and experience to guide us through life. While mentors are important, there’s something uniquely powerful about learning from elders—those who have walked many seasons and still live with faith, generosity, and passion. We dive into how their stories, presence, and perspectives can deeply shape us, helping us grow in our faith, family, and work. Join us as we reflect on the need for elders and the profound impact they have on our journey.

    The Courage We Need

    In this episode we hear from Peter on the subject of Courage, as well as an essay on Worship from Kinsmen Journal – Volume I. At a recent gathering, Peter spoke on the importance of pursuing what is hard and difficult, and that it often takes courage from each of us to do what’s necessary. He presents an alternative definition for the word, not one based on heroics, but one that’s a response from a life that’s consecrated to God. Also, his essay on worship could be an applicable reset on how our worship unto God is about him and it’s a privilege to rest and worship in his presence, particularly in our local church.
