Our 2026 Summer-mester men’s Bible study sessions launch on June 3rd and run through August 5th.
We’re offering several opportunities for Grove men to dive into God’s word together, grow deep in our faith, and grow close in our relationships with one another.
Check out the options below to learn more about each one!
Unwanted. It describes how we feel about some of the things we do. We don’t wake up in the morning looking forward to giving our evening over to pornography. We don’t leave the house each day eagerly anticipating our next one-night stand. These are unwanted behaviors on our part, no matter how compulsively we pursue them.
Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing is a ground-breaking resource that explores the “why” behind self-destructive sexual choices. Jay Stringer’s (M.Div, MA, LMHC) original research found that when we pay attention to our unwanted sexual desires and identify the unique reasons that trigger them, the path of healing is revealed.
Although many of us feel ashamed and unwanted after years of sexual brokenness, Unwanted invites us to see that behavior as the very location God can most powerfully work in our lives.
Counselors, pastors, and accountability partners of those who experience sexual shame will also find in this book the deep spiritual and psychological guidance they need to effectively minister to the sexually broken around them.

Masculinity is in crisis—men are confused, culture is loud, and true Biblical manhood feels harder than ever to find. In Stand Firm and Act Like Men, Pastor Joby Martin reminds us that real manhood isn’t about driving the biggest truck or having the biggest gun collection (though he won’t say no to either).
True men of God stand their ground where it counts: they surrender before the cross, lead and protect their families, put on the full armor of God, and guard against the lies that threaten to tear our homes, churches, and culture apart.
Rooted in 1 Corinthians 16:13, “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love,” this book is a clear, straightforward guide to what Scripture says about who men are and how they are called to live.
In his trademark straight-talk style, Joby calls men back to Biblical masculinity, not a stereotype, but a life of courage, sacrifice, and strength anchored in love. He tackles the tough questions, points men to Jesus, and invites them to stand firm in their faith, act like men, and step into the role God designed for them.
