Most men today are disempowered. Lost and groping in the dark, they are driven by fear and insecurity. Isolation and loneliness have led to dysfunctional marriages, broken families, and a society with no mooring to truth. Addictions to pornography, alcohol, drugs, and gaming have enslaved men and stolen our confidence.

At the 2023 Men’s Weekend, Mike Hatch spoke about the transformation that occurs when a man walks in the light of the gospel, where he is known by God, grown by God, and owned by God. This is the first of three talks that Mike gave, with a focus on not just knowing about God but being known by Him.

As a recovering pornography addict himself, Mike is well acquainted with feelings of disempowerment and hopelessness. In Manhood: Empowered by the Light of the Gospel (book, audiobook), Mike explains the empowerment that comes from being known by God, having God as the source of power for character improvement, and transcending your own agenda to be a powerful tool in the hand of God. Walking in the light provides the contentment to accept all circumstances of life, the clarity to embrace your transcendent and redemptive purpose, and the freedom to live courageously once again.
