Richard Moeck, longtime volunteer with DHR, has begun a program for Bibb County men of all types. During these meetings, a small group of men gather together to encourage one another, strengthen each other, and hold each other accountable in their walk with the Lord through the tough seasons of life. Discussion in these meetings is often prompted either by video curriculum or by conversation about events or challenges each other is facing. During the week, the men keep in touch through ‘A Call For Men’ Facebook group and private ‘A Call For Men’ Facebook chat.

   “It’s very much generational,” Moeck stated in reference to the challenges in our communities with crime, abuse, and broken families. “Men have got to be responsible to change things. I think that all of us need it–I get something from it; you get something from it; we all get something from it. And in the process, as the whole community of men starts to understand what our job is as a ‘Biblical man’, and as we lift each other up to mentor some of the other guys that will need to come along through it, then we as a society can move forward–using Christ as our example.”

   Moeck has talked with local attorneys, Judge Craig Cargile, personnel within probation, Sav-A-Life, and DHR about participation in the program on Saturdays.

   Habits are very hard to change. Biblical counseling works with the power of the Holy Spirit to change the heart–and that’s the only way you can change something for good…Is society going to be better with or without people working together for biblical manhood, and having a support group continue to help them to move through the system?
