Oct. 30, 2006 - This wasn’t your Daddy’s religious revival. Last Saturday morning, 200 Christian men gathered in a downtown warehouse in Nashville for a day-long spiritual extravaganza. Inside, strobe lights flashed, and tracks by the Killers thumped from speakers stacked on either side of a stage. Four large video screens showed clips of karate fights, car chases and Jackass-style stunts. Then the music lowered and Christian comedian Brad Stine appeared. With his rat-a-tat delivery and aggressive style, Stine quickly whipped the crowd into a chorus of “Amens!” “A lot of guys out there wouldn’t have the balls to be here,” he shouted. “Are you ready to be a man? Are you ready to kick ass? Are you ready to grab your sword and say, ‘OK family, I’m going to lead you?’ Buckle up. This is GodMen!”My Comments:

Real men don't need gimmicks to be Godly leaders of their families. This particular gimmick sounds like Tim Allen's "Men Are Pigs" meets Promise Keepers.
“They touch on real things here, like masturbation. That’s something that would never be discussed in church, where you are supposed to keep your shame quiet.”
ReplyDeleteUmmm- yeah, it's what Catholics call Reconciliation.
I can see how this would appeal to guys, but as soon as the women got hold of any of that news (So and so's husband does ****!), gossip would be in abundance!

ReplyDeleteThere'd probably have to be a rule like "What happens at GodMen stays at GodMen."
