The first video is the GodMen promo that the organization puts out. The second is an ABC news Nightline report on the event:

To me, this seems like Promise Keepers with more electric guitars, which—for the most part—will probably be a good thing for a lot of the attendees.

Since I’ve never attended a GodMan presentation, I’ll try to keep my mouth shut, but please feel free to leave your initial reactions to the videos in the comments. I’d really like to hear from women on this one, do you feel that events like these are productive for the men in your lives? Any other thoughts?

For those that have been to one of these events, a few questions: what exactly is the GodMan vision of manhood? Is it an aggressive, competitive, stick up for yourself man or something more complicated? Did you find it to be a helpful event? Did they do anything there that you weren’t getting in church?
