Juggling Chainsaws on a Tightrope: On Stress (Real Life Stuff for Men)

How do men keep everything in their lives balanced?
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 treacherous 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.
