What is Flatirons On Tap?

Flatirons On Tap is a men’s small group gathering held in multiple locations at some of the fine pubs and brew houses in the Denver/Boulder area. It’s a great way to dig a little deeper into the messages from the weekend…connect with other men from Flatirons…and have a quality beer or two.

Her Name Is Emery

Her name is Emery, and I can't wait to meet her, but I'll get to that in a second.

First, I wanted to write about Shirley. She’s my mother—and the mother of my other three brothers. That’s right. Four boys. She was the only woman in a house full of men, but make no mistake…she was (and still is) a formidable woman to deal with. I will admit, she was not a perfect mother, but she was perfect for us. Raising four snotty, burping, farting, cantankerous boys into four (semi) functional, burping, farting men is no easy task, yet she seemed to do it with joy…and honor…and (yes) maybe even some pleasure—on a few of the days, at least. And while I know my mom will cry when she reads this, she will always hold that special place in my heart (and in my brother’s hearts too) that only a mom can hold...and her laugh…her beautiful, infectious, full-bodied laugh…is still one of the sweetest sounds I’ve ever heard on earth.

Sin

Following Jim Burgen's message this past weekend (“Full of It” – April 6/7, 2013), our good buddy Trent Culver wrote the following blog to share. Very thought provoking...and convicting.

A Holy Moment

So, I am what you’d call a “processor”. Meaning: It takes me awhile to process through major events and situations in my life. I’m GREAT at quickly processing everyone else’s stuff…but slow on the uptake when it comes to my own life. Case in point: my recent trip in February to South Sudan with the Flatirons missions team. Even though I’ve been back home for over a month now…I’m still working through what I experienced over there…especially my “Holy Moment”. [continue reading]

For Dad’s to Read with Young Children:

The Jesus Storybook Bible—Every Story Whispers His Name
by Sally Lloyd-Jones

In The Jesus Storybook Bible, every story whispers his name. It tells the story beneath all the stories in the Bible. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the Story unfolds, children will pick up the clues and piece together the puzzle. A Bible like no other.

For Husband’s to Read with Wives:

PB&J
by Jim Burgen and Scott Nickell

Some things are simply meant to go together…like peanut butter and jelly. They are fine on their own, but when combined… wow…they become a whole new, delicious creation. The same truth applies to men and women.

For Men to Read in a Group with Other Men (or with their Sons):

Grow A Pair
by Jim Burgen and Scott Nickell

Contrary to popular opinion, Biblical manhood is not defined by the level of a guy's tesosterone, the size of his bank account or the length of his résumé. No, the kind of people that God used or couldn't use in the Bible can be traced back to the presence or absence of two things in their lives. In this series, we will be taking a look at both of those things.

For Men Struggling with their Dad:

Book Study: A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
by Donald Miller

Donald Miller’s A Million Miles in a Thousand Years details Miller’s personal journey to reconsider what we should all strive for in life…and how to get a second chance at life the first time around.

For Men Struggling to Connect with God:

Book Study: Sacred Pathways - Discover Your Souls Path to God
by Gary Thomas

Are you envious of the way some people seem to walk closely with God? Gary Thomas insists that it’s better to discover the path God designed you to take--a path marked by growth and fulfillment, based on your unique temperament.

Men of Flatirons! Come and join us for The Trail (our men’s Bible study and small group discussion) this Thursday Night (May 16th) from 7PM-8PM.

Thin Red Line Wrap

December 2012 Session (Jim Burgen)

"I cry aloud to the Lord;I LIFT up my voice to the Lord for mercy."

Psalm 142:1

This unique men’s prayer ministry will lift off in the middle of June 2012. Helicopter pilot Dan Gray has agreed to use his aircraft to guide a team of men to pray over our community.

LIFT is looking for two to four men—twice a month, each month—to join the prayer team and pray over the Lafayette-Boulder area.

Listen to Q&A Session (Dan Foote)

"God is a consuming fire" (Hebrews 12:29); which means He is unquenchable, unpredictable, dangerous, and all-together captivating when we are confronted by Him.

Flatirons’s Men’s Retreat, Fire on the Mountain, was an amazing time away for all who made it. There were some very cool moments up at Crooked Creek this year. Everything including: great hikes in the mountains, a CrossFit competition in the gym and Paul Brunner getting the hair ripped off his chest in the auditorium.

And amidst all the fun and high jinks, there were some powerful sessions revolving around God—the All-Consuming Fire and how He refines each one of us into the men He’s called us to be. If you weren’t able to make it or if you just want to listen again, click on the links below to hear Scott Nickell’s Friday night teaching, Saturday’s session with Jason Martinkus or the Q&A Panel discussion from Sunday.
