Exodus 90 and the Exodus 90 app. Men, we are called to share the Hope and Joy of Jesus Christ. Our family, friends, and community desperately need us to imitate our Lord to be radically present and available.
What if you intentionally lived this Advent season differently? Focused not on buying Christmas presents but sharing the loving presence of Jesus Christ.
We want to invite you to join us on the Exodus 90 App and break out of the religion of the world. Join the men of Exodus 90 and Msgr. James Shea, President of the University of Mary, who is our spiritual guide for Advent this year on the Exodus 90 App. Together, we will rediscover the hope that God lays out for us in the coming of his Son into the world.
Go to Exodus90.com/sqpn to learn more about Advent on the Exodus 90 App, and to join men from around the world this Advent starting December 1st.
Be radically free in Jesus Christ this Advent.
