Best Baptist Church Pasadena Near Me

4worldlovers: Pastor John Jay will be leading three sessions this summer on the theme of “healing the masculine.” These sessions, held , build upon one another, so it is best to attend all three. This work is not limited to men, but it is geared toward people exploring the masculine side of their humanity. We welcome anyone 14 and older, because it is better to learn these practices early so there is less to unlearn over time. Space is limited, so consider if you are ready to explore this kind of deep work before signing up. These sessions are open to people of all sexual and gender expressions, understanding that at times the content will sometimes use gendered language for simplicity of communication. The masculine and feminine are part of every person, just as both of these primal essences are joined in our understanding of God. In the sessions we will nuance even the language of “masculinity” so it is less constrained and more expansive.

For some background to this set of offerings, it is helpful to consider just how many distortions the masculine has suffered in recent times. Especially in Christian spaces, the main way the masculine is discussed is through the lens of macho culture and domination. Men are not invited deeper into their bodies, wounds, tenderness, power or potential. Sexual desire is considered dangerous, so the masculine sexual essence is feared. We have been force-fed a small vision of manhood, mostly as a means of fear and control. In the absence of an alternative vision, this view of spiritual masculinity is the only one people think exists. So through these introductory sessions, we will build this alternative vision together, focusing on breath, awareness, wound work and channeling sexual energy for the healing of the world. But first we have to begin healing the masculine self.

To express interest, you can fill out the form below. There is a cost associated with this set of sessions of $50 which can be paid here, and all proceeds will go towards the fund we use for emergency community needs known as the Deacon’s Fund. If you are unable to meet that financial commitment, reach out and we can discuss funding options.

4worldlovers: We believe the Bible to be the Word of God; that the sixty-six books comprising the Old Testament and the New Testament as originally written were verbally inspired and therefore inerrant in all matters; that the Bible is our final authority and our only and all-sufficient rule of faith and practice.

We believe in the virgin birth, sinless life, vicarious and Substitutionary death, victorious bodily resurrection, present intercession, and the personal and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe He is the eternal Son of God who took upon Himself genuine humanity, without sin and without ceasing to be God.

We believe in the absolute deity and personality of the Holy Spirit, and that He regenerates, sanctifies, and indwells all believers.

We believe in the reality and personality of Satan, that he was created by God as an angel but through pride and rebellion he has become the enemy of God and man, and that he is totally evil and the original author of wickedness.
