A powerful book for men's groups and for personal growth.
Failsafe reconnects men to their identity in Christ: made in the image of a loving God and remade as new creations no longer bound to the patterns of this world, thanks to the saving work of Jesus.
As this connection with God is strengthened, men are reborn. Their emotional lives realign. Their character, spirituality, and emotional health come back into congruence, and they can face the hard things of the world with bold assurance, knowing that they are no longer slaves to their fear, their pain, or the expectations of others. They belong to the Lord, and he has overcome the world.
Veteran men's ministry leader Kenny Luck helps men courageously face their insecurities and unlearn their unhealthy attachments to broken, worldly markers of significance: their jobs, their standing in the community, their physique, etc. Kenny teaches that it is impossible to be spiritually mature when you are emotionally immature and points men to Christ as a model for masculinity and an anchor for their identity.
This book is a rallying cry for men to become grounded in Christ so they can be set loose to serve a hurting world. Everyone knows we're in a crisis of manhood.
More and more men are being cut down in their prime by insecurities, finding themselves addicted to broken, worldly markers of significance: their jobs, their standing in the community, their physique, and on and on and on.
In Failsafe, Kenny Luck shows how emotional immaturity—the stuckness that so many of us feel—gets in the way of spiritual maturity. He points men to the liberation that awaits us when we look to Christ as a model for masculinity and an anchor for our identity. We are made in the image of a loving God! We are being remade as new creations no longer bound to the patterns of this world! We are free and secure in the arms of a loving God who has overcome the world. And he invites us to live into our godly call to transform the world with grace and courage.
