Male (or masculine) spirituality is not just about going to church, saying prayers and trying to be good. Fundamentally, it is about an age-old tradition that teaches the things every man must learn and internalize before he can fully engage in the adventure and mystery that life will bring. Sometime during his life, every man will go through an initiation for what lies before him and who he was designed to be. This initiation can happen in many differing ways:
· Through a man’s intentional action of seeking to be initiated.
· By way of a calamity, such as a long-term illness, loss of a
job, end of a relationship, diminished vitality, etc.
· Through the instruction and example of a learned mentor.
· By divine appointment. .
This website supports men who are looking to develop their own spirituality or are struggling with the social demands of what a man is "supposed to be" and how he is supposed to live his life.
Texas Men As Learners and Elders (MALEs) strives to bring a Christian perspective to male initiation and to help men step into the mystery of life in a way that can bring transformation to their lives. Men of all faiths are welcome as are men of no particular religious persuasion.
