Tomorrow night, Pastor Nate will be teaching through Genesis 3 and will focus on Common Hurdles of Males. He will teach through the Garden of Eden again, this time in Genesis 3, to see where toxicity for males actually comes from, and how it may manifest itself today as it did in the Garden. The goal in this lesson tomorrow is to remind us of the vast reach of sin, in preparation for the better Adam next week who will redeem us from a different garden in Gethsemane.

Some questions to consider:

• What do you think or feel when you hear the phrase “toxic masculinity”? Is that phrase appropriate to use in our day? Why or why not?

• For teen guys: Pastor Nathan gave a list at the end of his lesson regarding being overly passive or overly aggressive. Where do you think you struggle personally? How does it actually look in your life? (Note…this could be a chance for you to not slink back like Adam in the Garden but to step forward and admit “I struggle with…”, something that has been perhaps hidden)

• For teen girls: Where have you personally seen males not step up in their role of headship (either personally or from a distance)? How do we biblically call up boys to be men, and how do we forgive when we see a lack of biblical manhood that has personally impacted our lives?

Have you missed a Sunday morning or Wednesday night lesson but wanted to listen to it at a later time? Have you ever had to leave a bit early on a Sunday morning to serve, but wish you could have caught the last few minutes? Are you a parent wishing to listen in on what your teens hear weekly? If you are any of the above (or frankly just anyone else!) we want to invite you to check out our newly created Spotify landing page for all HBC Student Ministries sermons. We hope and pray it will be a blessing to any who listen, and will stir up your heart more and more for Christ!
