Warriors of Teancum Core Content

Greg's 5 Attributes from Moses Chapter 1, make up the core content of each retreat and program.

Each attribute foreshadows the others and builds on the previous, creating a fluent, holistic message.

Identity

Before a man can do anything worthwhile, he has to know who he is. Not the caricature culture sells him, but the real thing: a son of God with a nature and a lineage that predate his birth. Most of the confusion men feel about their role starts here, with a hollowed-out sense of self that leaves them borrowing an identity from work, politics, or appetite. We start where the scriptures start, because everything downstream depends on getting this right. (Moses 1:4,6)

Purpose

Identity answers what you are. Purpose answers what you are for. A man without purpose does not become neutral, he becomes restless, and that restlessness always finds an outlet. We treat purpose as something given rather than invented, discovered through covenant, family, work, and service, then pursued with real intent. You will leave this session with your answers written in your own hand. (Moses 1:6) 

Vision

Purpose points a direction. Vision puts a picture on it. Where do you intend your family to be in ten years? What kind of father and grandfather do you plan to be? Most men have detailed plans for their careers and nothing written down about the things that matter more. We spend this session seeing the future clearly enough to build toward it, then working backward into the decisions you make this week. (Moses 1:7-11, 27-40)

Leadership and Presiding

Men were given three responsibilities distinctly their own: to preside, to provide, and to protect. Culture has gone after all three. Presiding gets branded as patriarchy, providing has been reshaped by an economy that no longer needs a man's back, and protecting has been engineered out of ordinary life. Strip a man of all three and you have taken his purpose. This session makes the case for reclaiming them through truth, identity, and purpose applied at home, where presiding actually happens. (Moses 1:25-26)

Courage

Everything above stays theoretical until a man will act when it costs him something. Courage is the capstone because it is where knowing becomes doing: leading your family when leadership is unpopular, standing for truth when the social price is real. Teancum did not survive his defining moment, and he acted anyway. That is the standard, and the invitation. This is not a therapy weekend. It is a call to men who intend to go home and lead. (Moses 1:9-11, 12-25)
