Why the Groove?
As a husband have you popped off at your wife, been passive-aggressive, said something hurtful you really didn’t mean?
Have you fantasized about a co-worker or married friend, trying to dance close to the flame for a dopamine hit? Maybe some “harmless” flirting with a text here and there?
Have you been overly critical of your child? Snapped at them when they weren’t listening, but all they wanted was your attention?
Have you raged at someone on the road? Gone ballistic from a social media political post?
At work have you talked down to a co-worker or employee? Lied about your capabilities to get ahead?
Are you rationalizing the answers to respond with a ‘no’? Are you backpedaling, not being honest with yourself?
The Answer
Kinetic Groove is about being a better man. Join us for a journey of discovery to define where toxicity and landmines exist in your life. We’ll help you truly understand your wiring, and create a band of brothers who inspire you to leverage your strengths and weaknesses.
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death — even death on a cross!
Philippians 2:5-8
Man in the Arena
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
– Teddy Roosevelt

“I was part of a Life Group at Fellowship Dallas. The core of the group was formed because of Mike Lyon, we were drawn to his leadership and his ability to connect life and the bible. He additionally connected us to Austin Street Center where we served as a group. Mike has a great passion for God and makes no bones about that in a time where Christians can be very part time, he always seems to stay connected and faithful.”

“I joined a group five years ago after being
introduced to Mike. At that point, I was going through one of the hardest times in my life. The group has been invaluable to me as I have navigated some of the biggest moments in my life. Mike’s leadership in the group was critical as he really led discussions but not in an overbearing or lecturing kind of way. He also provided many opportunities for service while pushing lovingly to serve. All along the way, he has been transparent, authentic, vulnerable, and led by example, boldly. He is a blessing.”
– Christian Delzell
“Mike provides the space for a group of men to share openly and honestly their thoughts, their fears, and even their life shortcomings and contradictions in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. Mike’s ability to choose provocative topics, guide the discussion and also to ‘poke the bear’ to keep the discussions on track are amazing. When topics veer off subject, Mike is savvy about pulling the group back together to stay on point. This group has been a safe place for thought and insight not only for my own journey of purpose, but gives me strength to know that as a man, I’m not alone in all this. We lift each other up and hold each other accountable. Mike’s ability and love of Jesus make this all the more useful for us all.”
