7 Essentials of Finishing Well – #1 Growth” In Hal Habecker’s “Essential ONE: We will GROW,” the core message is that spiritual and personal growth is a lifelong calling from God, not something that stops at retirement. This is the first of seven essentials for “finishing well.” Habecker emphasizes that life is constant change and believers must actively participate in growth. This growth, rooted in the heart (Proverbs 4:23), is God’s desire for His people. We are called to continually grow in “grace and knowledge” (2 Peter 3:18) and be conformed to Christ’s image (Romans 8:29). The video directly challenges the cultural idea that aging equals stagnation, reframing it as a unique opportunity for deepening wisdom, faith, and relationships. Watch Video

Mission Men are men on a God-given mission: to grow as disciples, lead our families, serve our church, and impact our community for Christ. Mission Men are men on assignment from God—equipped, committed, and courageous in living for Christ and leading others to Him. It’s not just about meeting together—it’s about mobilizing men to live on mission for Christ.
