Book Discussion Willow Crystal Lake | 100 S Main St., Crystal Lake, IL

Alongside she highlights ministries that are reaching one life at a time through prayerful visits to strip clubs, bars, and seedy streets and glimpse the Gospel's transforming power in individuals who have left prostitution and found new life in Christ.

Monger: The Awakening of J.B. Benton
Greenhouse Theater Center | 2257 N Lincoln Ave Chicago, IL 60614
Through September 30th

The play uncovers a nationwide, online, anonymous brotherhood of men. Follow a Chicago criminal defense attorney with a secret life who finds his world shattered as he deals with his sensitive 16-year-old son’s legal crisis on the day he takes a deposition from the mother of a murdered teenager. The bridge between understanding people's impact on the world around them...even if they think the world should embrace their every need. A journey into toxic masculinity and its impact. Sex Trafficking's worst enemy.

Though the characters and plot are fictional, they are inspired by real-life Chicago events and include actual posts from online conversations among men.
