The Real Win

The Real Win: Pursuing God’s Plan for Authentic Success
By Colt McCoy and Matt Carter (LifeWay)
A 2014 OUTREACH RESOURCE OF THE YEAR

A DVD-driven men’s study, The Real Win features NFL quarterback Colt McCoy and Matt Carter, founding pastor of The Austin Stone Community Church in Austin, Texas.

In six sessions, The Real Win tackles an important topic for men. In a culture that is all about the pursuit of success, “this Bible study challenges men to aim for the real win—to strive for the kind of success that comes from trusting God and serving him.” We follow McCoy, Carter and others as they hunt and fish for game and use these experiences as illustrations of each session’s themes. I’m no hunter, but I have to say these sessions were very engaging. This is a study men will be drawn to. Just as important, they will invite their friends. Hunting, fishing and a conversation with one of the winningest quarterbacks in NCAA history: The Real Win has a lot of the right stuff. —Mark Howell, from the March/April 2014 issue of Outreach magazine
