Fighting Shadows | An Evening for Men with Author & Pastor Jon Tyson

  • Valley Community Church 4455 Del Valle Parkway Pleasanton, CA, 94566 USA (map)

In light of increasing awareness regarding the detrimental effects of toxic masculinity and patriarchal systems, these issues have become prominent topics in our conversations.As societal attitudes evolve, some individuals cling to outdated stereotypes, further exacerbating tensions and confusion, while others find themselves unsure of how to navigate this cultural shift effectively.

Consequently, many men may feel overwhelmed, grappling with the fear of inadvertently offending others, uncertain about how to channel their ambitions and strengths constructively, and contending with the conflicting messages of a highly sexualized culture

However, amidst these challenges, there is hope for men seeking clarity and resilience in today's complex landscape.

We are pleased to announce an upcoming event featuring Jon Tyson, who will offer invaluable insights and strategies for confronting the shadows and temptations that confront modern men. Attendees will have the opportunity to gain tools to embrace masculinity as a divine blessing, rather than a burden to be resisted.

All participants will receive a copy of the book "Fighting Shadows: Overcoming 7 Lies That Keep Men From Becoming Fully Alive" authored by Jon Tyson and Jefferson Bethke.

This event serves as a compelling call to men everywhere: it is time to embrace the transformative vision of Jesus and step boldly into your God-given identity as a man.
