As men, we often face uncharted territory and unfamiliar terrain in our lives. This can manifest itself in any number of ways in our lives – from unexpected circumstances to everyday events that we face. As we seek to grow into the leaders, fathers, friends, and mentors that God has called us to be, we can expect to be barraged with attacks from the enemy. That first step of a journey into the unfamiliar or unknown can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Through UNCHARTED, we are here to equip you with the tools you need to conquer the unexplored. We will look to those who have been there before to provide guidance to help us along the way.
