"I would have died without them." - Sean Kennard

Sean Kennard has been the strong guy his whole life, professional MMA fighter, SWAT Officer, "the most dangerous man in the room." Then a serious illness flipped the script in the past six months, and the man who'd spent 36 years being the one who carried other people's mats found himself on the mat needing his community to carry him.

In this conversation with Pastor Eriek Hulseman of Church Project, Sean opens up about being on the receiving end of the brotherhood he used to provide and Hulseman, who oversees 60+ house churches and has spent 15 years building decentralized Christian community, lays out why men who try to do life alone don't make it.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
• Why "lone-wolf Christianity" fails every man eventually, and the biblical pattern from Genesis to Acts
• The "roof breakers" story (Mark 2 / Luke 5) and why it's the model for masculine friendship
• Eric's gut-punch question to Sean: "Were you the mat-carrying guy because you didn't want to be ON the mat?"
• Why proximity matters more than depth and why you can't be a real friend from 35 minutes away
• Marks of healthy Christian community what real biblical brotherhood looks like in practice
• The decline of manhood in the modern church and how the house-church model recovers it
• The three eras of a man's life (and why your 60s, 70s, and 80s might be your best decades)
• Practical first steps: how to find (or build) a house church in any city

FEATURED:
Pastor Eriek Hulseman, Church Project, Texas. 15-year house church pastor, oversees 60+ house churches, 23-year marriage to Laura, four kids.
