THE FIGHT RESOURCE FEEDBACK
“The Fight is brilliant. There are obviously lots of other resources that explore similar themes - but I say in all seriousness that this is the best I’ve seen. The Fight will facilitate life change, and direct people towards paths of ongoing safety and healing. I loved the blend of common sense and biblical truth. The mix of understanding ..compassion and truth .. rebuke .. challenge was superb. The way its put together is understandable, relevant and attractive”.
(adam hince: youth pastor & victorian baptist youth ‘deeper’ team - vic, australia)
“This resource is flipping awesome”.
(joe, 17, nsw, Australia)
“The Fight DVD is a powerful, comprehensive, and relevant resource for teenage guys who want to get serious about sexual purity. Every youth minister and parent of teenage boys needs to use this DVD as part of communicating healthy, godly sexuality.”
(jonathan daugherty: director of ‘be broken ministries’ and host of ‘pure sex radio’, texas, usa)
REVIEW OF ‘THE FIGHT’
(murray brown, director - youthTRAIN, new zealand)
“The Fight is more than another talk on sexuality. The Fight is a God-driven revolution, a declaration of war against a cheap and sinister culture that’s destroying guys and relationships faster than ever before. The Roundabout Ministries team are superbly equipped with great resources and an awesome message of hope and strength. We were blessed heaps by attending our local ‘Fight Night’ and it has definitely brought on a greater sense of honesty and openness about these issues amongst our lads”.
(templestowe baptist youth and young adult leadership team – vic, australia)
‘The Fight resource provides an interactive safe space for men to be real with themselves and others in dealing with their pornography issue. It provides short but encouraging bites over a 30 day devotional program for men to journey out of their addiction to porn. The first session on God desiring to pursue us and embrace us gives men hope and allows the shame to dissolve in understanding God’s desire to bring us out of bondage and into freedom. Whether one does this 30 day program by themselves or in a group men will certainly sense a deeper call to pursing Christ and allowing freedom to come, light to replace the darkness and restoration to begin, one day at a time.
(simon riches: pastoral support coordinator, liberty christian ministries inc – nsw, australia)
“I just got the DVDs today. I just took some time to browse through the book and I watched the first bit of the DVD and I am blown away, literally. This is absolutely brilliant. The packaging is AWESOME and it’s all so hip, fresh… and I can tell already that the content is right-on. I can’t imagine how much time this must have taken”.
(tim schraeder: creative communications director, riverside community church, illinois, usa)
“The Fight” is a great resource to assist young men in their struggle with their sexuality in context to today’s challenges. When launched or supported by a “Fight Night”, this program is indeed profound in its ability to facilitate breakthrough from sexual addiction and distorted thinking. Adrian is a man of great transparency and integrity and clearly his heart and wisdom on this subject are evidence that he has been purposed and gifted by God for the sake of our young men. The team of guys that minister along side him at Fight Nights most certainly reflect the same anointing and heart”.
(jeff benson: werribee baptist church – vic, australia)
“i just wanted to write and tell you that I think your DVD resource “The Fight” is absolutely fantastic!!!! It is so biblical and encouraging and helpful as it teaches guys to get plugged into the word of God, while seeking accountability from fellow Christians and attacking sin face-on. I also found the resource to be great value for money and have decided to purchase another 6 copies to give out to some of the guys at church. I can’t wait to speak to our youth pastors at church and get them on board with the Fight”.
(emma binns: ‘beyond egypt’ ministry leader, nsw, australia)
“After watching The Fight, I was going to say what a great DVD resource The Fight is for guys struggling with sex, porn and purity but then I thought no, it’s way more than that. The Fight is easily the best DVD resource out there for guys and girls period who are struggling with sex, porn and purity and even for those who don’t”.
(david o’reilly: lead singer - inflight)
