MODULE 2:
Marriage, Family and Soul Health
In this second module we are covering the topics of Marriage, Family and Soul Health. The driving question is, “How are we as men pursuing health in our marriages, in our parenting and in our own personal lives?” This module covers a lot ground, so we’ve broken up the teaching portions into three separate sections: Marriage, Kids + Family, Soul Health. Each of them are uniquely focused on how we as husbands, dad and men can be intentional about building healthy rhythms in these vital areas of our lives.
