Meets Fridays at 6:30 pm at The Den in SLO, CA. We’re forming a Life Group for young men with one purpose: to hold each other accountable and provide encouragement as we navigate the challenges of lustful desires. We believe there are far too many young men who feel alone in this struggle, unable to express their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. This group is designed to be a safe, judgment-free zone where you can open up, share, and be heard. Together, we’ll create an atmosphere of honesty, support, and accountability—lifting one another up and guiding each other toward the right path. RSVP: flames2025@gmail.com or flintjmiller2004@icloud.com. To join group, visit: https://myactivechurch.churchcenter.com/groups/young-adult-life-groups/slo-men-hosted-by-fabian-and-flint
