Greatness comes from the inside out.

The problem is that most people, men in particular, define their lives based on outside accomplishments, accessories and appearances.

But what does God think? What's he looking for? Being God's man is not something to do, wear or acquire; it's a way to be.

Gather the men in your community together for Core Man and take an inside look at a man's world.

Just like our physical bodies, true strength, flexibility and endurance depends on a powerful core.

According to author and men's pastor Kenny Luck, "a flabby, weak core, poor performance, poor endurance, poor execution on the field" is a good spiritual metaphor of what can happen to the core character of a man of God.

As the men's pastor at Saddleback Church, Kenny understands how men are "wired" and gives practical direction and protective advice that address men's deepest struggles and vulnerabilities.

You'll discover how core character qualities provide stability in a man's personal life, his actions and influence upon others.

Men will learn where integrity, community, accountability, and service really start.

In Core Man, the men in your community will unpack five character qualities that define God's man and place him on the pathway toward maximum impact and influence:

• Be loyal.
• Be a brother.
• Be God's man.
• Be a servant.
• Be a messenger.

"In the end, we have to bow to what's bigger than us. That's what these core values are for God's man. They are the things which drive us, center us and remind us what following Christ is all about," says Kenny.

Isn't it time to work on your core?
