This is not your usual interview or article so listen-up.

A huge thanks to Greg Barber for cooking-up our “Summer Sizzlers” Season. The articles and reflections of the last few weeks had a thread of “community” running through them and were great reminders of why we are not meant to do this journey alone.

This week I want to thank Luke Franks for highlighting a book extract:

I don’t rest as a reward or to gain something, but to return to the original expression of human design. I am a being not a doing. I am not a tool in the belt of a workman but a picture in the wallet of my father. God doesn’t get me out to use me, but to enjoy me.

Rhythms of rest , especially in a time of work and creative output, return me to those truths.”

From Joshua Luke Smith’s book: “Something you once knew: Waking up to the extraordinary in your ordinary life”

WHAT IS ASCEND MEN?
Imagine a community of men who are challenged, inspired and equipped to live passionate lives for Jesus. A place where men-care-for-men through a small number of honest personal relationships initiated and supported by regular male-oriented events. Relationships are built shoulder-to-shoulder doing stuff in preference to eye-balling each other!

Ascend Men is that community.

Our podcasts reflect that desire to challenge, inspire and equip our men. Some are light-hearted easy-listens. Some deserve to be digested and pondered. If you love them, tell us - we could do with the encouragement. If you can see ways they could be improved, tell us - feedback is a gift.
