Joshua’s Men … A one year journey of mentoring men in leadership and spiritual formation

In 2000, Bob Schuemann began Joshua’s Men I with a group of men from six different churches. These men committed for one year to a process that would develop their leadership potential and Christian character. The men meet once a month and discuss a different topic each session. They read a book and cover a variety of subjects: leadership, spiritual disciplines, people skills, communication, family leadership, evangelism, prayer and also develop a life mission statement. They also are involved in two retreats to deepen their relationships with each other and have a family picnic for all men who have been involved in Joshua’s Men. Upon “graduation”,  J-Men are encouraged to get involved in a ministry and especially become involved in a leadership role in their church.

Joshua’s Men I:   Steve Cournoyer, Chuck Schumacher, Dennis DeMarois, Chip Schelhorn, Dan Specksgoor, Mike Simon, Dana Binsbachar, and Wayne Rodale.

Joshua’s Men II:  E.G. Harvin, Skip Olmstead, Tommy Mayes, Brian Powers, Mitch Stump and John Rodriguez.

Joshua’s Men III:  TL Winder, Owen Evans, Dave Ragan, Jim Wilkerson, Steve Bradford, Colin Holloway, Eddie Smith, Bill Hall and Mark Montgomery.

Joshua’s Men IV: Angel Borges, Tom Bowman, Ed Camacho, Tom Gallagher and Phil Jordan.

Joshua’s Men V: Paul Buri, Rick Grago. Dave Packard, Randy MacPherson, Joe Remington and Charlie Isiminger

"We do not fall in love, we grow in love and love grows in us" Dr. Karl Menninger
How are you growing love in your marriage?

Romance……Men another way to show your wife how much she means to you. Be RoMANtic she’ll love you for it. Be creative…roses are special, but sometimes they are also VERY expensive. Try this: for 12-10-5 days bring home a single rose with a note expressing your love. Day 1..I love you …Day 2..I love your smile…Day 3…I love the way you take care of the kids….continue this pattern for the number of days you choose. It will take special effort to show your love in this way, but she will know that and it will be meaningful. Just select your source: Publix or a florist make your plan.                                                     

Idea 2: Buy a rose bush….plant it where she can see if often as a reminder of your Growing love for her. Also, you will have roses year round! Idea 3: Take  5 cards and write on each one something that you appreciate about her. Place them in five spots where she will find them.        Idea 4: Register for the Celebrate Your Marriage Seminar (mentioned above) & ask her if she will go with you so you can learn how to be a more loving husband!

Quotes to Remember: Give her two roses, each with a note. The first note says “For the woman I love” & the second, “For my best friend.” Moonlight and roses are bound to fade for every lover and every maid but the bond that holds in any weather is learning to laugh together. Keep in mind….Happy Wife….Happy Life!

 

Remember Valentine’s Day was just one opportunity to show your love…create other days throughout the year. You don’t need Hallmark to be romantic!! 

Prepare/Enrich…is a well respected inventory that has been researched and developed over more than a decade and has been completed by 1,000,000 couples. This assessment tool assists couples, through the guidance of a coach, to assess the relationship and growth areas of their marriage. Especially valuable for premarital counseling and as a “check up” for married couples. Bob Schuemann is certified to administer Prepare/Enrich. www.Lifeinnovations.com

 

If you are not building PASSION into your marriage, don't expect it to be filled with passion!!

 

Think about these ideas:

 

1.    Romantic Weekend--like you used to have

 

2.    A weekly "date night"...she loves it!

 

3.    Attend a marriage seminar or class

 

4.    Read a marriage book together

 

5.    Listen to her heart

Remember all those "loving" things you did when you courted her?   Haven't stopped have you?
