“I’m one of the pastors at Destiny Church in Rocklin, CA. Greg and Kathy Fairrington, the pastors of our church and supporters of Mercy, asked me to research and teach Keys to Freedom to men. After reading through the study, I came to the conclusion that the Holy Spirit would absolutely have to spur the men on to finish a study like this and do the work, because I felt that men would not engage in digging deep into their past or into their feelings and emotions like women do. A lot of prayer went into the launch of this study and I approached this as “teaching” it as opposed to going through it with them. It was in the second week that the Holy Spirit told me to “do” the study instead of teach it. I then went back through chapter one and personalized it. (So glad I listened… It was tough). It’s an amazing study and over the 8 weeks with ten men, I called and texted them to encourage that they go deep while I did as well. My mantra to them was “You only get out of it what you put into it.” The majority of the men went extremely deep and after the study, several of them said it was one of the most life-changing things they had gone through. I believe that the impact was so great, because men are not used to digging through their life’s trauma and putting a voice to it. We are now introducing this as an ongoing class for men. I’m not sure if other churches are using this for men, but I highly encourage it. Thank you for what you are doing in the lives of not only women… but men!”
