Book Description
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the Basic Training/Top Gun men's discipleship curriculum and its short and long-term effects on the spiritual formation of the men at Christ Community Church. Measuring spiritual growth is not a simple task. It begins with an examination into the spiritual disciplines but then probes deeper into the issues of the heart. A survey was created to interview the 99 men who have completed the Top Gun program. 55 of these men responded to the on-line questionnaire. The data revealed that Top Gun was instrumental in the respondent's lives and made an instant change in their spiritual disciplines and in their relationships with their families, work, and Christian service. Unfortunately, the survey also revealed that many men fall back into old habits through time thus showing the need for ongoing relationships, discipleship, and accountability. The survey also showed a "disconnect" between men's hearts and his habits. A proper understanding of the Kingdom of God and the incredible love of God is essential for developing consistency in character and in mission to the world.
