Exodus 90 and the Exodus 90 challenge, which begins this year on January 20th. This isn’t just a 90-day program: Exodus 90 is a spirituality for men in modern times built on three ancient pillars: prayer, self-sacrifice, and fraternity. We all long for something more. And that something is to be found in becoming the men that God created us to be: sons of a loving Father. It’s time to turn away from our Idols. It’s time to break free from the Pharaohs that hold us in bondage. If you’re ready to make a fresh start, to break free, refocus, and rediscover who God is calling you to be in the new year and embark on a journey to Uncommon Freedom in Jesus Christ, then download the Exodus 90 app today.
