Rescuing a man saves a child.

We are CMN. We rescue men.

What happens when you make the decision to attend the Lions Roar Summit?

Change happens. And ... this time, it's change for the better.

Nat's a surfer and lawn guy who checks in at church on Sundays. His wife wanted to fly to Lions Roar to see friends, so he reluctantly boarded a plane to leave the beach for a weekend of “more church.” At the end of the first day, he bought a CMN jacket. At calls for prayer on the second day, he responded. Once home, he joined two men’s groups, reads CMN books and his Bible, prays out loud in front of people and, as he puts it, "it has changed my life in a great way." Change happened ... LIFE GOT BETTER!

Roman was tired of dead ends and his mom’s guestroom—couch surfing at age 31. At Lions Roar, Robert Kalatschan challenged him. Robert followed up. Eight months later, Roman boarded a flight to join the mission in Vietnam for a short stint. More than a year later, he’s never returned home. Now his mom can’t go upstairs to talk—she flies 17 hours to see her radically transformed son. Change happened ... LIFE GOT BETTER!

Ed came to Lions Roar regularly. He was a successful businessman, didn’t need much. Then, in a session led by a friend who was also a businessman, he got a glimpse of that man’s level of success—and that man's stewardship. When Ed got home, he began to use the same pattern in his business. In just the first year, his bottom line increased 50%. Radical change in thought, radical change in business. Change happened ... LIFE GOT BETTER!

Carven left demonic worship and the cartels and joined a men’s group. His new friends brought him to Lions Roar. There, he met Otto Kelly. Otto brought light into the parts of Carven’s life that were still pitch black. Carven started to see his way out. The next year, Carven came back and testified about raising his children in Christ. The cartels are a distant, albeit painful memory, but that life is over. Gone. New life in Christ has taken hold. Change happened ... LIFE GOT BETTER!

Do you feel like there's more? Satisfied with your success, but not with life? Frustrated with the status quo? A bit lost? A lot lost?

How many of us feel like "the level of life I'm now living is not at the full capacity of my life." We want more. You do. The men around you do.

So, here's the promise. I promise that the Lord will meet you at Lions Roar. You'll be in the center of a radical group of men who want to go next level in their lives with the Lord. Their stories might not sound like yours, but the power of the anointing of Jesus Christ is the same for us all.

Meet me and other brothers who will speak truth to you. Men who will embrace you as a brother. Men just like you are looking for more. Change will take place ... and LIFE GETS BETTER!

Join the A-List

God’s favor is one of the most powerful benefits of living in Christ.

We don't earn favor. We receive it by God's grace.

Look at the men God favored.

Gideon was called a mighty warrior by God: “The LORD is with you, mighty man of valor” (Judges 6).

Joseph was favored by his father and later by Pharaoh (Genesis 37:3).

Moses and Abraham were promised God's presence: “I will be with you” (Exodus 3:12).

The disciples were assured of Christ's constant companionship: “I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20 MSG).

How do you get on the A-List of favor? If you are in Christ, you're on the list.

Nehemiah was a slave who prayed for favor. It wasn't just any prayer. It was the bold petition of a man who knew his God. His prayer cut through the noise and gave his life focus.

God answered.

Favor with the king set in motion the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls and altered world history.

How do you pray for favor? Boldly.

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace [FAVOR] to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

Years ago I stood on an icy Olympic practice run in Calgary, Canada, with world champion skier Jim Hunter. It was dangerous. I was trying not to fall over. Yet, Jim was preparing to race down that mountain course — at speeds exceeding 70 miles per hour.

I asked Jim, “How do you get the guts to do this?” He said, “Paul, I have confidence because I trust my training, my equipment, and my skill. Then, I ski with reckless abandon.”

What would happen if you prayed boldly for favor over the dreams, goals, and visions that God has put into your heart? And then followed Him with reckless abandon?

Trust your God. Trust the equipment of His Word. Trust the gift he’s put inside you. Then race toward it with reckless abandon.

Favor is not just something for “A-list” Bible men, or for men with great fame or charisma. Favor is for every man, including you and me! You're on the A-list!

Pray bold prayers. Receive God’s favor. Get bold!

Your friend, brother, and ally.

Grace and Peace,

Paul Louis Cole

This is where your brothers will be.

🛠️​ Eight equipping sessions.
🏆 World-class leaders from six continents.
🍔 Two man-sized meals with brothers who'll have your back for life.
💻​ A full year of digital access after the event ends.

Men from six continents will stand in that room together this November. Not as strangers. As brothers who've decided they're not doing this alone anymore.

"Fear not, for I am with you." (Isaiah 41:10)

Negative words are the language of defeat. Faith-filled words are the language of men who overcome. Which one are you speaking over your life today?

Be strong and courageous

Jesus died to set us free because He wanted us to be free. That is circular reasoning, not a good argument strategy. And yet…. It’s the simple truth. Freedom is the inheritance of the believer.

I had a friend named Gene who was in prison for 37 years for a murder he didn’t commit. The day he was released, he immediately headed home. He didn’t question whether he was free, or check the weather before he left, or hang around for just one more fresh cup of penitentiary coffee—he was free!

When you are free, you get out of there!

When you’re free, you are free! Yes, it’s circular reasoning. And it's nonetheless true. Back on Gene's amazing story - when he was in prison, one of the things that changed his life was receiving a Maximized Manhood from a chaplain. It changed his thinking ... and today he's a chaplain for a large company.

Freedom is the exhilarating gift Jesus Christ has given to every believer—so why would we keep hanging around the prison?

Paul wrote: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery” (Galatians 5:1).

Christ has set us free…to be free! It's where you live - in freedom.

When you’re free, you get out of there! You’re FREE!

Paul shouts to us in Galatians, “DON’T BE AFRAID! You’re out, so stay out - don't go back into the prison!"

Jesus gave you and me freedom—part of that freedom is a faith that sets us free from fear. Faith always defeats fear.

The attack of the enemy is built, founded on fear. Bringing fear, anxiety and dread continually against us. We’re negative by nature, so it’s easy to shove us into fear. BUT, STAY OUT OF FEAR PRISON.

Centuries before Paul, God said through Isaiah the prophet, “Fear not, for I am with you” (Isaiah 41:10).

Freedom means freedom from fear. Freedom is bold. Freedom is about doing what we’ve been set free to do.

Jesus said the man with faith can speak to every great obstacle of his life with the word of God:

“Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says” (Mark 11:22, 23 NKJV).

Get bold!! Speak in faith. Negative words are the language of failure. Positive words of faith are the language of overcoming power.

Declare it now—right now, out loud. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)

Brother, I pray you live a life of FREEDOM, of unrestrained JOY. I pray that BOLDNESS wells up within you to speak God’s Word, pray His prayers, and believe on Him for miracles in your life, your family, your work.

Reading God’s Word builds boldness. It also helps to get together with other men just like us. So, check the dates – Nov 5-7 – and get to Dallas for Lions Roar - https://cmnsummit.com/

GO BOLD.
