Join Charlie and Frances Vensel as they host this fall’s co-ed dinner and discussion group based on Pablo Giacopelli’s book, The Modern Fig Leaf, starting September 11, 2016. The group will meet weekly for 8 weeks.
Why Participate In This Group? The Modern Fig Leaf Will Help You…

  1. Start answering “Who is the real you, whom do your really belong to, and where within your being can this be understood and experienced?”
  2. Begin discovering  new place where you are no longer driven to live your life from a place of manipulation and control marked by the fulfillment of the rules. But instead enter into a journey of discovery where you walk by faith and not sight. Where the aim is understanding each day a bit more how well and how much God loves you.
  3. Start living a life that begins within your heart and is fully integrated with the remainder of your being.
  4. Begin experiencing a new reality of healing and freedom in your life that you may be able to relate with others at a deeper level of vulnerability and truth within a community of love.

Group Meeting Day/Time/Frequency: Every Sunday from 5:30-7:30pm, starting September 11, 2016 and ending October 30, 2016. Reading assignments will be sent to you upon completed registration.

Somehow, for some reason the message of Christianity has been distorted, or hijacked into something to make man conform to an image that God never intended. New4Rmations gets back to the basic biblical message of God creating us in His image and reaching out to us for the relationship we were meant to have with our creator. This group speaks openly and honestly about their lives and challenges. It's a great fellowship of men who are dangerous to the enemy's plans and want Gods will for their lives.

There comes a time in life when all men seek, knock and ask those critical questions that nag at their very souls. For some it happens early, for others it may be later in life but they all ask: "Why am I here?" "Will I come through?" "Can I overcome?" The resounding answer is no. The enemy teaches them even as little lads that you will fail and you are a failure. At NEW 4RMATIONS, Tim McNamara and Charlie Vensel are the real deal. They have wrestled with these questions and they have found victory. They are daily walking headlong into the adventure that is life with Christ. They have taken that adventure into a more aggressive journey as of late with the formation of NEW 4RMATIONS. I know their impact of the Kingdom of God, particularly in the Upstate of South Carolina, is going to be measured in generations. I am proud to call them by friends! The have the right stuff! Jesus! Deploy into one of their missions, adventures, events, boot camps and bring lots of guys. I promise you will never be the same! I am not the same because of their love and friendship!

New 4RMations offers an inviting, non-judgmental, and comfortable experience for Christian men who are looking to discover themselves and what makes them come alive. This organization does a phenomenal job of creating an environment where the "religious" aspects of Christianity are shed, meaning that it welcomes men as they are; no traditional-church attitude involved. It seeks to engage the real person, not the "good Christian guy;" the outdoor-cigar-smoking-fishing-racing-intellectual-emotional-artistic-hiking-humble man. The casual adventures are a great place for community and establishing long lasting friendships as well as engaging the God-given purpose and desires of men's hearts. These adventures typically involve a testimony/teaching that is extremely applicable to life. The crucial and critical adventures offer deeper community and relationship with others as well as God. These are especially potentially life-changing. I went on a casual adventure with a group of guys to the Tuckasegee river in NC. I met new friends with many of the same struggles. We were able to shed the "poser" for a few days and be truly authentic with each other. The experience allowed me to "unplug" from my daily routine and environment so that I could relax and get new perspective. The 3 short teachings (1 each day about 30 minutes each) based on John Eldredge's books offered tons of great lessons and perspectives. Most of all the experience was simply enjoyable. I had a great time fishing, learning, and talking to others. The food was fantastic too. I highly recommend a casual adventure. New 4RMations deserves a 5/5 for its efforts, teachings, adventures, and offering a place for men to be men the way God intended them to be. Subscribe to them and go on an adventure! You will not regret it!

New 4RMations is still a young ministry but Charlie and Tim have already had a big impact on my life. I have joined in with many men through New 4RM that are walking the same journey I am on - seeking and finding God in the good and the bad times in this life. With New 4RM, you can be yourself and be redeemed in the process. Thanks Charlie and Tim for following God's call and filling a void in the Upstate of SC with New 4RM.
