The Pose
This session will expose the reasons why we, as men, tend to put forward a fake, or embellished, image of ourselves for others to see, all the while hiding the “real” us. We will also reveal what your true identity is at the core of who you are, and ask Jesus to help bring down the false poses we have constructed.

Reflection Question:
What are you using for a fig leaf?
Let’s pause to think about what we just covered. Reflect on the questions of “Do I have what it takes?”, “Do I fit in?”, or “Can I handle the tough things in life?” and the related examples of what may make you feel that way. Review this list of scenarios. Have any of these happened to you?
