Cue The Circus Music "Hey , Jim,
I'm going to need that TPS report by noon" [one chainsaw] "Jim, don't forget we are going to my
mother's for dinner tonight." [two chainsaws] "Daddy, do you have time to help me with my
homework?" [yet another chainsaw]
Men have to juggle dozens of chainsaws, err, responsibilities - all while walking a treachrous
tightrope demanding our spiritual and physical balance. With all its demands and pressures, life
can feel like a bizarro circus act. But you can be the spiritual ringleader you want to be. Take
eight weeks to study a biblical approach to thriving under pressure. Learn to master the art of
Juggling chainsaws on a tightrope - or at least try to improve your skills a little bit at a time.
Designed for small-group use (yet just as hospitable for a solo act), studies in the Real Life
Stuff for Men series don't demand a seminary-trained leader at the helm. These studies help
participants discover personalized application and offer an accountability system to make sure the
changes stick.
