Courage..
So its Monday..
I got back yesterday, from spending the weekend in Sharon, MA with a bunch of guys from EFC Newport.
It was a great time of fellowship, prayer, teaching, and most importantly Football..
Yes.. Football.. During some free time on Saturday, a game of football broke out.. It was a blast! What was even better, was the fact that everyone played hard.. no one held back.. lol.. it was great.. other than a few minor injuries, and some blood.. lol.. It was an awesome picture, of brotherhood..
The biggest issue for me, that I took home. Was just the need, within our Church, for the Men. Our Mens Ministry has lacked the zeal that most share.. It was evident in the heart of men, as they expressed the isolation, and fear that our culture brings. And the need for other Men to step into our lives, and stand in the gap. The retreat brought that to life, along with my own flaws, and by Gods grace forcing me to step over the line and reach out to that brother in need. To look past my own “schedule” and make time just to chill, or hangout.. I need other Godly Men in my life, to form those relationships.. I have friends, and brothers, but no one close enough be fully transparent all the time..
The whole time up there, I was thinking about my last post.. and was challenged to do exactly that.
Its one thing to talk about it and be inspired.. but it takes a lot of courage to “live dangerously”
