Hey fellas!
It was an honor and a blast to spend the weekend with you. This here blog is an attempt to continue the thought process by providing a forum for question-answer and discussion.
Simply click 'comments' to (guess what) leave a comment or question. I will moderate, give thoughts, and provide resources as best I can. I'll also try to make the place look a little better as we go.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Hey Matt. It's Hunter. Thanks again for the great weekend messages! I'm going to have to come visit your church in California sometime.
God Bless!
Matt. Where in California are you at. I'd stop by and say hi but I'm stuck in LAX... By the way, thanks for the great sessions at the retreat.
Hey all; first Matt, thanks so much for all you've done, and making this to keep the communication open, it's really amazing.
I just have a question for all;
Matt mentioned acting appropriately in all of our relationships with women, and we discussed our dating relationships, but what should we do about those friendships we have with women when there is no interest in dating? what can be done to watch the 'line' and guard our hearts as well as theirs in the way we conduct ourselves? Is there even a line of conduct to watch besides the obvious? And what can we do when dealing with those that may already have feelings for us when we don't share them, but don't want to breach the relationship?
Once again, this is open to all, so please leave your comments about it, It's something i've been thinking bout alot so any insight would be great.
Matt,
Teaching us about Jesus and masculinity brings up a question I have about God. Jesus is a man, the last Adam. What about women? "God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."
God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God made man in His own image, and I have assumed God made mankind, including woman, in His image as well. I always thought men and women together express God's full character, incomplete without the other. In sum, I have always considered God genderless/superseding gender.
One of my friends says people (men and women) are all sons of God by adoption (Gal. 4:5-6), and we are all part of the bride of Christ. Both male and female are necessary to understand God’s relationship to all humans, including men. Is this right?
Isaiah
I love you Matt. D. Raymond 3
