Okay, we are doing another men’s event theme leading up to Father’s Day. I have a lot of my pastor’s wives and women’s ministry leader friends always asking for more men’s themes for their churches, so here’s another one for you.
This one is all about being Battle Ready for the Lord. And by the way, this one can work for a women’s ministry event theme as well. We are all supposed to put that Christian armor on and prepare for each day!
