One of the hardest truths a man must face is this: if he is not doing relationships right, he’s not doing life right. When people come to our memorial or celebration of life, they will not be talking about our bank balance, where we went on vacation, what kind of car we drove, or brands we clothed ourselves in. They will only have one thing to talk about at length or else nothing to talk about – how did we love and serve other people. Same with God when you land in heaven on other side. He will say: “You’re in! Now let’s talk about what you did with the people I placed strategically in your life. Did you love them the way i loved you?” Smart men discipline themselves toward relationships and making them great. Join pastor and men’s expert Kenny Luck for this life altering session on getting relationships right in order to prepare for heaven right.
Sometimes opportunity knocks softly and we have to be paying really close attention. Other times opportunity slaps us across the face and there is immediate recognition and response. The Bible says the moment any person chooses to begin and eternally continue a relationship with Jesus Christ, it is a magnitude 8.0 earthquake on the opportunity scale. God says: “Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.” THWACK! Are you working OUT and multiplying what God has worked IN to you? Join author and men’s expert Kenny Luck for this powerful session on what personal Christ-formation and transformation involves and looks like in God’s man.
Think tools. We LOVE tools and the local hardware outlet proves it. Some of us can’t get enough of them! But whether you have a workbench with lots of tools or a mini-tool box with just the basic essentials, if a tool finds it’s way into your hand there is a specific job it is designed to do. Tools are created to deliver for us the expressed purpose of their creators and we love them for that – even thank God for a well designed tool that saves us time and energy. What about you? What about your creator? What about his specific intentions for you? Just like there is nothing more frustrating than trying to untighten a deeply imbedded screw with a butter knife, many men are frustrated and unfulfilled because they give themselves to purposes they were never created to engage in. The Bible says you are an instrument useful to the Master, prepared by him for specific works. Adios frustration. Hello fulfillment of His vision.
Givers need receivers. Think Birthdays. Think Christmas. Think of thoughtful surprises. We give and others receive or vice-versa. But after the wrapping is undone, the gift is received, and thanks are offered, what we really would like to know is this: did what we give get used and enjoyed or go in a closet or garage or get re-gifted? Bottom line? We earnestly hope that our gift gets multiplied. The “gift that keeps on giving” is the goal! In your relationship with God, when he gives things to you, he not only tracks your initial response but, more importantly, what we do with what gives us. Think life. Think salvation. Think relationships. Think natural and spiritual gifts. Think material resources. Just like us, the Bible declares that His hope is the same: “I want what I have given him to multiply.” JOIN men’s expert and pastor Kenny Luck for this powerful five part series that will help you understand God’s mind on what he gives you. In the process, you will become a multiplier that will receive a “Well done!” from your Maker and Master on your appointed day.

Intuition. Instinct. A sixth sense. A nose for what is happening that is unseen but real. A soldier says “something is not right” and they halt a platoon but in the moment they can’t explain why and others don’t sense what they sense. Today we might say our “spidey senses” are tingling. Military researchers call it “perceptual expertise” or the ability to recognize things in your environment reliably, automatically and quickly. If you are God’s man the Bible calls for an “alert mind” that is sensitive to your surroundings and environment. More specifically, Jesus tells his followers the ability to recognize and sense the Kingdom, the battle, and the opportunity to take action is central to fulfilling your personal missions for him. How good is your Kingdom intuition on the battlefield? Join pastor and men’s expert Kenny Luck for this powerful final session of Behind the Door.
Every heard the phrase “Get a whiff of that guy?” Curious way to describe picking up a “vibe” someone is throwing off. Why use our sense of smell as a metaphor to evaluate someone? It’s because smells are not neutral – you judge them. Good or bad. You want more or less. You avoid or embrace them. Think fresh cut grass. Gas at the service station. Mama’s sauce or apple pie. The Bible says that a Kingdom man is like an aroma that let’s people know something is present that they can’t see. God’s man is “spreading everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of God.” When people encounter you they both see and sense King Kingdom because you are living Behind The Door. Or not. In this powerful session men’s expert and pastor Kenny Luck explores our influence on others and the commission to smell it up for Jesus.
Starting a relationship does not pose the same challenge as staying rooted and connected in a relationship. In fact, getting into a relationship with anyone is the easy part but staying meaningfully engaged, interested, and growing in that relationship is where the biggest challenges reside. It all boils down to priorities – what we care most about will absorb our greatest focus and energies. The same thing is true about our relationship with God, his purposes, and his Kingdom – if it is a priority to stay connected to them then we will adopt a new lifestyle and attitude that insures we stay meaningfully and powerfully connected. Easier said than done? Yes. Impossible? No. The difference maker? Shifting our focus from ourselves to something greater than self. Are you ready for that journey?
Have you ever wanted to know everything all at once? It is human nature to want to know what’s coming before it comes because in life – when it comes to choices and consequences – the fewer the surprises the better! You want to be sure you are making right decisions that maximize the good stuff and avoid the bad. All followers of Jesus – from the first ones to now – are attracted to Jesus but we can’t see the whole picture of our lives on the journey with him. We only see a step or two ahead but never the whole. The Kingdom of God is like a “seed” that is in a process of growing and expanding in our lives but only if we choose relationship with Jesus and listen do get to go behind the door and find the next things out. Join men’s expert and pastor Kenny Luck as he unpacks the power of the parable – the “keys” to discovering the secrets of the Kingdom.
A key and a door. Keys unlock doors. If you are given the right key you get to enter into and experience whatever is behind the door. Imagine checking into a great hotel and not being given the keys that open the door to your personal room! You can’t. So when Jesus says to his men “I have given you the keys to the Kingdom” it is an invitation to engage and experience a realm full of power and purpose previously unavailable to us. It is not just any space – it is a supernatural and life changing space – The Kingdom. More importantly, Jesus expects the “key receivers” to start opening doors and experiencing all that is BEHIND THE DOOR. Right now, in the midst of the digital war for our time and attention, a campaign of distraction is limiting millions of God’s men from seeing and experiencing the insights, adventures, and experiences that lay behind the Kingdom doors God presents to us every day. We blow by them or miss them altogether at our own loss and our own peril. In the process we are missing out on the great super adventure and super humanity to which we belong called the Kingdom Of God. Join men’s expert and pastor Kenny Luck for the exciting new 5 part series that will take you BEHIND THE DOOR and into God’s Kingdom which is surrounding your life right now.
