SESSION 3

Wounds, Conflict & Forgiveness Between Brothers

Core Question

What do I do when brotherhood breaks?

Big Idea

David is betrayed, hunted, misunderstood — often by his own people. Brotherhood requires forgiveness or it dies.

Key Scriptures

• 1 Samuel 19–20 – Saul’s jealousy, Jonathan’s loyalty
  
  

• Psalm 34 – David’s prayer in distress
  
  

• Matthew 18:21–35 – Forgiveness
  
  

• Ephesians 4:26–32 – Do not let bitterness grow

Catechism

• CCC 2840–2845 – Forgiveness
  
  

• CCC 2302–2303 – Anger and resentment
  
  

• CCC 1451–1454 – Conversion of heart

Leader Focus

• Men often carry silent resentment
  
  

• Forgiveness is not denial; it’s freedom
  
  

• David refuses to kill Saul → integrity over revenge

Flow Forward

Healed brothers become strong fighters.
Now we move into battle.

Lust is one of the greatest battles men face today. But God calls us to live in true freedom, not slavery to our desires.

This month, join us as we welcome Fr. Terrence, who will speak powerfully into the struggle of lust and how Christ gives us the strength to overcome temptation and live as men of purity and purpose.

Through Scripture and teaching, Fr. Terrance will open up what it means to fight for holiness, the tools God gives us to resist temptation, and how brotherhood and grace can lead us into lasting freedom.

This session is for any man seeking:

• Freedom from lust and sin

• A deeper purity of heart

• Brotherhood, faith, and transformation

Fr Olek, diving deep into what it truly means to live as a Catholic man in today’s world. In a time where faith is often challenged and masculinity misunderstood, this talk will call men back to the heart of virtue, discipline, and authentic discipleship.

Fr Olek will explore how Scripture, the Sacraments, and daily spiritual habits can shape us into men after God’s own heart, strong, humble, and anchored in truth. Expect practical insights, powerful stories, and a call to live boldly for Christ in every part of your life.
