MIKE HATCH, Pastor/Author (11-8-23)

MIKE HATCH, a recovering pornography addict with 20 years of experience coaching, mentoring, and discipling men, will join us to discuss the dangers of pornography; his book, "Manhood: Empowered by the Light of the Gospel"; and his podcast, "Throwing Mountains". FROM HIS BIO: I lived much of my life in the dark until I was eventually forced into the light. It was through this painful process of being exposed to the light, and then learning to walk in it, that I discovered God's grace, gained freedom from the dark, and was empowered by the light of the gospel. Most men today are in hiding. Isolation and loneliness has defined us as a generation, and we are disempowered by the lies of the darkness. As a result, we feel inadequate and incompetent at home and in our marriages. We lack a centered identity that would otherwise provide the confidence we need to lead our families well or maintain personal integrity. I currently serve as the National Relationship Generator for CLC, a men's discipleship ministry (clchq.org). I love sharing my story and helping pastors to empower the men in their church through a relational approach to men's discipleship. https://empoweredmanhood.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikehatch02 https://www.amazon.com/Manhood-Empowered-Gospel-Mike-Hatch/dp/1632695987/ref=sr_1_1?crid=UEZ0GPJ683VX&keywords=mike+hatch&qid=1693657037&sprefix=mike+hatc%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-1
