Before You Can Know Who You Are, You Have to Know Who He Is.
Most men carry a version of Jesus that's too small for the life they've been called to live. Too distant. Too religious. Too disconnected from the real struggles of real men.
Phase 1 of the Sankofa Men's Bible Study takes you back to the Gospel of John — one of the most personal portraits of Jesus in all of Scripture — and helps you see Him clearly, perhaps for the first time. Because when you see Jesus rightly, you begin to see yourself rightly.
This isn't a lecture series. It's a journey of rediscovery.
What You'll Discover in Phase 1
Session 1 — Jesus the Word
Who was Jesus before Bethlehem? John 1 opens with a cosmic answer that changes everything.
Session 2 — Jesus the Lamb
The one who takes away the sin of the world — and what that means for the shame you've been carrying.
Session 3 — Jesus the Temple
He came to tear down the barriers between you and God. Nothing stands between you and His presence.
Session 4 — Jesus the Bread
The hunger that no achievement, relationship, or success can fill — and the One who actually satisfies it.
Session 5 — Jesus the Light
Walking in clarity, purpose, and direction when the world around you is dark and confusing.
Session 6 — Jesus the Door
Access granted. You don't have to earn your way in — you're already invited.
Session 7 — Jesus the Shepherd
He knows your name. He leads, protects, and restores — even when you've wandered.
Session 8 — Jesus the Resurrection
The power that raised Christ from the dead is the same power available to you right now.
Video teaching. Discussion questions. Personal reflection. Built for individual study or small groups.
See Jesus Clearly
Move past the Sunday school version and encounter the real Jesus of John's Gospel — the one who sees you, knows you, and calls you by name.
Know Your Identity
When you see Jesus clearly, you begin to see yourself rightly — as a son, a leader, and a man with purpose and power.
Rise In Purpose
Sankofa means go back and get it. Phase 1 helps you reclaim what was always yours — your identity, your calling, and your place in the Kingdom.
What's Inside Phase I
Your Instructor -
BIshop Glake Hill, Ph.D.
Pastor. Professor. Author. Bishop Glake Hill has led men's Bible study for over 15 years and brings the same rigor he applies in the chemistry lab to every session of Scripture. The Sankofa series was born from his conviction that African American men need more than inspiration — they need a deep, personal encounter with Jesus that reshapes how they see themselves.
What you'll find in Phase 1 is not a class. It's a conversation that changes men.
