Agape.Men

A simple, free tool to encourage continual fellowship and discipleship with other men pursuing God.

What is Agape.Men?

In it's most basic sense it is a fellowship alarm clock with 4 other men seeking Christ just like you.

Here's how it works:

  1. Sign up by texting "JOIN" to (775)306-6909
  2. You will receive a few basic text message questions. This is all the information we will seek and store and only for the intention of matching your group:
    • Name
    • Age
    • Gender
    • Zip Code
    • Availability
    • (Optional)Phone number of any requested group members
    • A few general questions to objectively gauge where you are at in your faith and where you desire to be as we pair you with others
  3. Let us know your availability - what days and times work best for you
  4. Each day, 15 minutes before your scheduled call, you'll receive a text message with a suggested topic focused on encouraging one another through the joy of the Holy Spirit and showing Christ's love and grace to others
  5. Join your daily 15-minute phone call with 3 other men who are also seeking to grow in their faith
  6. Stay committed - if you regularly miss calls, we'll reach out to find a better time or understand if your needs have changed

It may sound like sunshine and rainbows, and maybe it is at times, but it also requires being intentional and growing in faith with others. Consider this your new alarm clock. Each day a prompt will be sent as a suggestion to the group 15 minutes before the call. We encourage you to read through the prompt and spend time in prayer preparing for the time together. It is strictly 10 minutes and the call will be ended promptly thereafter.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

Why I got started?

I have grown immensely in joy this last year through periodic conversation with other Christian men and seek to share that experience with as many others as possible.

I have learned the hard way that the day is worse when you don't intentionally spend time in fellowship and discipleship with other men pursuing God. This tool is designed to help others realize the same thing. Ultimately, it is God who changes the heart as we are told in scripture, but it makes a difference when we are intentionally seeking Him together.

Galatians 5

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace. For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.

You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion is not from him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I have confidence in the Lord that you will take no other view, and the one who is troubling you will bear the penalty, whoever he is. But if I, brothers, still preach circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed. I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!

For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Galatians 6

Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load.

Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
