Kneading Brotherhood
A Jonathan and David Experience
There is an indescribably powerful need in our world for men to connect, yet somehow we've lost the art of connecting as a western culture. We no longer have the deep meaningful friendships of the old world, brothers that should be blessing us and strengthening us in our own journeys as we bless and strengthen them in theirs. Men everywhere are starved for the affection and affirmation of brotherhood. With the world blurring the lines of affection beyond comprehension it's no wonder we're all famished.
We invite you to take a stretch in your life and join us at a Kneading Brotherhood Retreat soon and discover the potential of real brotherhood.

Dallon Lawlor~ The Jonathan to his David
There is hope, yet. The story of Jonathan and David in the Old Testament is the perfect example of the potential of a great masculine friendship. Jonathan was the crowned Prince of Israel, but stepped aside for the God-anointed David to be king without one drop of jealousy or malice toward him. He loved David and protected him on many occasions, even from his own father, King Saul and others.
David loved Jonathan with all his heart. He proclaimed once that his love for Jonathan was "sweeter than his love for women" (and we all know how David loved women!). I love the word "sweeter" that is used in this scripture. I personally believe that any number of words could have been used, but the use of the word sweeter to me speaks of a deeply spiritual connection, one that was pure in its intent.
Kneading Brotherhood is a wonderful "Jonathan and David Experience", focused on teaching how to create stronger deeper man~ to~ man friendships that bless and enrich our lives. The weekend is filled with food metaphors that teach profound principles of connection, from kneading bread to cooking together, the purpose of this retreat is to open your hearts and minds to the deeper possibilities of friendship.
This retreat is for all men who feel a deep hunger for masculine connection and want to learn the truth about where that hunger comes from. Here you will learn to sit at the true feast ordained by God for men and men alone, instead of settling for the crumbs of male intimacy that the world would have you believe are all that exists. Kneading Brotherhood is a Christ-centered ministry, as men and brothers we honor and respect all faiths. However, the processes, tools, and skills we will be teaching at this experience all have Christ at their core and we believe they cannot work without Him.
