All four men sit down and speak plainly. The talk is long, but it runs deep. Nate leads. They get straight to it—what it means to be a man in the church. No fluff. Just truth, drawn from Scripture, the Westminster Confession, and the hard-won lessons of shepherding souls.
They take up the doctrine of the church—the visible body of Christ. They speak of membership, of duty, of belonging. They talk about how men ought to give themselves to the church. Not as critics, but as brothers. As servants. As sons of the living God. There is laughter too. And sharp edges. But the weight of the thing is not lost on them.
