In the midst of a chaotic world, committed men of God are shaking cities. Yesterday, key leaders from Dallas/Fort Worth were energized as great CMN friends spoke of discipling men and transforming cities. Our long-time friend and Lions Roar host, men's pastor James deMelo, gave a powerful strategy to take men into a deeper walk of faith through discipleship retreats and intensives.
