Christian men talk about friendship, anxiety, giving a good apology and living with purpose

19/12/2017

 
In 2016 Katoomba Men's Convention was relaunched as BASECAMP, bringing new life to KCC's men's ministry which started in 1997.

A popular change to the program was the introduction of the Build Up segment, where men speak for 12 minutes and share practical wisdom from personal experience for living well as a Christian man. Topics covered in 2016 included being a Christian father, anger, sex and money and coping with the death of a child. 

Here are a selection of Build Up talks that were featured at BASECAMP 2017:
​

Old Man, Young Man


​Chris describes himself as “the youth worker” and Charles is rapidly becoming one of the “old men” at church. They both attended BASECAMP in 2016 and were challenged to bring the “BP Man” experience to the kids at their church. Chris and Charles will share how this experience led to both discipleship and unexpected friendship.

​The Thorn Of Anxiety

​
Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on your sweater already - sound familiar? Anxiety makes some of us feel sick to the stomach. For 1 in 4 Australians, it's a daily battle that is fought behind closed doors. Mikey Tai, Pastor of Providence Church Brisbane will share his journey with anxiety and what he's learned about himself and God along the way.

​How To Give A Good Apology


God calls us to confess and repent and apologise when we do wrong. But how do we do this well? Imagine how this would transform our relationships with our families, colleagues and friends. In this video, Bruce will share a simple but powerful apology framework that he uses in his work with PeaceWise, a national Biblical peacemaking ministry.

​Living With A Purpose


Many Christian men feel stuck - frustrated that faith feels disengaged from the world and at times disconnected from the realities of everyday life. This was John - until he discovered both purpose and contentment in his God-given identity.
