He reminded men they needed adventure in their livesin their work, in their love, and their spiritual livesand showed how God designed them to be dangerous. Sadly, most men today have abandoned these dreams and desiresaided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "e;nice guy."e; It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death.The Wild at Heart Field Manual, which corresponds chapter-by-chapter with the book, helps men understand how God wants to heal these deep wounds from earlier years that take away their confidence and, in some case, their masculinity. Men will discover that deep within their heart is a longing for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescuebecause that is how God created them. It is time for the church to reclaim these wounded warriors. It is time to give men permission to be what God designed them to bedangerous, passionate, alive, and free!Packed with new information and insights, the Wild at Heart Field Manual guides men along "e;the road less traveled."e; Filled with probing questions, creative exercises, and space to record personal field notes, this companion volume is designed to transition men from reading about the wild heart to living from it.

It has been rightly said that "e;Jesus is the hope of the world."e; While we can never argue against the importance of the power of the risen Son of God, it is also true that "e;the local church is the hope of the world."e; After all, the church is the body of Christ. Jesus manifested himself through the church. And we, as the church, are chosen and called by God to be light in the darkness and give hope to the hopeless.For this reason, it is critical for the body of Christboth pastors and laypeople aliketo learn how to lead like it matters. In this study guide, which accompanies the book of the same name, pastor and bestselling author Craig Groeschel shares what he has learned in more than twenty-six years of leading LifeChurch. The church began in a borrowed two-car garage, with ratty furnishings and faulty audiovisual equipment, but people were drawn there because they sensed a powerful, life-changing force that Craig calls "e;it."e; While exactly what "e;it"e; is can be difficult to define, Craig reveals seven factors that contribute to it (or at least don't kill it):Sessions include: VisionDivine FocusUnmistakable CamaraderieInnovative MindsWillingness to Fall ShortHearts Focused OutwardKingdom-MindednessCraig also unpacks three important realms that every leader must master: (1) prioritizing mindset over model, (2) creating systems that empower it, and (3) finding a balanced way to lead to stay centered around it. While adopting these seven factors and realms will not guarantee a church will have that "e;it"e; factor, it will certainly lead that church toward it. It will help all of us lead like it matters.
