About “One Year to Live”

 “One Year to Live is not about trying to fill parish halls with men,” says Doug Haugen, ELCA Director of LMM.  “It’s about creating places and events where men encounter Christ and where discipleship can take place.  It’s about men who know their lives are a train wreck without Jesus and who are willing to walk with other guys, not only in the good times, but also in life’s dumpsters.  Those kinds of places and events often do not happen within the walls of a church building.”

One Year to Live is a strategy for men to seriously look at their lives, to make significant decisions and work with other men to hold each other accountable for those decisions made about their spiritual journey.  It is an opportunity to explore the difference the Christian faith can make in the lives of men today with families, at work and in the Christian community.

Bethany co-leader Todd Little likes to call One Year to Live “Bible Study Meets Indiana Jones.”  “Our congregation is full of men who are yearning for a spiritual connection with Christ and with their brothers in the church. This new program offers an opportunity to be adventurous and courageous while at the same time spiritual, genuine, and vulnerable.”

 “This is truly a program that helps us men be the husbands, fathers, and friends that God has always wanted us to be!”
