Chapter Summary:

• The four stages of manhood—known by God, grown by God, owned by God, and empowered by God—are not meant to be formulaic or prescriptive. Rather, they provide a framework for helping men understand God’s work in their lives. 
• John is a great example of a man deciding to step into the light as a result of Holy Spirit’s work in his life. Through church and relationships with other believers, the gospel lit his way out of the dark and guided him into the light of the truth, where he discovered a new confidence in God. 
• Eric had been walking around the chair of faith, encouraging everyone else to sit but never finding rest himself. It wasn’t until his sin was dragged into the light that he was forced to trust God and found true rest, joy, and purpose. 
• After years of living out of fear and insecurity, I found confidence in Christ—but only after everything I was hiding had been exposed. Being laid bare, yet experienc- ing God’s unconditional love, set me free to humbly walk in the light as He is in the light, in order to be a light for the glory of God.
