The Gauntlet is a leadership development path for men at StoneWater. You’ll study the Bible, gain practical tools for daily living, engage in daily accountability, and meet other men committed to growing in spiritual maturity. Each stage is designed to confront the sin patterns we all face, call you into God’s design for manhood, and challenge you to put what you learn into practice.
Stage: Leadership
About This Stage:
Leadership is a 4-week stage (1.5 hours each week) where we confront pride head-on and learn to walk in humility and integrity. Leadership isn’t about position or power—it’s about service, character, and keeping your word. Over four weeks we’ll cover:
- Leading yourself
- Leading up
- Leading your team
- Candid coaching
You’ll also learn from biblical leaders such as Joshua, Moses, David, Nehemiah, Daniel, and Jesus—men who modeled servant leadership that continues to shape the church and the world today.
What to Expect
- It’s casual—bring food if you want.
- You don’t need to bring anything but yourself.
- You must attend the first session to continue.
- Open to all men 16 and older—single, married, divorced, at whatever stage of life you’re in.
- For additional questions, reach out to Mark Pester, Gauntlet Coordinator, at mark.pester@stonewaterchurch.com.
