Live courageously from your heart!
Challenge: speak hope to a friend, family member, or stranger with a written note. Doesn’t have to be much, just a little inspiration. Ready, set, GO! Be inspired, go inspire!
I am a father, a grandfather, I lead a technology team, I am the founder of Heartstone Journey, I am working on various projects and I am a leader in the men’s ministry at our church…just to name a few things I do. I seemingly have been managing my work-life balance a bit better and not feeling overly stressed these days, but God started to reveal that I need a bit more margin in my life to unplug.
Recently I had an opportunity to head outdoors for some ice fishing with the guys from the men’s ministry. I immediately went into what I had queued up for the weekend and focusing on the needs of others. At first glance, you might think…”What’s wrong with that,” right?
As a dad, I was almost taken out by the enemy. I almost blew it, but my Commander in Chief, God Himself, God gave me another chance.
Men, I don’t know what you are facing as a husband, as a father, but we are being taken out left and right. There is a war on the family unit and significant ground is being lost. This will not be won politically, by the government, by the courts, by the media or by sitting around waiting for the next guy to do something. This war will be one by us manning up and stepping into the role of fatherhood that God has called us into.
Here is a re-work of the Navy Seal Ethos for all you husbands and fathers out there fighting the good fight for your families, may you be encouraged!
In times of trouble or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our family’s call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside a brotherhood to serve his God, his family, and protect their way of life. I am that man.
The day we see the truth and cease to speak is the day we begin to die!
Moral authority is the credibility you earn by walking your talk.
