Men are called for Community

I wanted to take this time to share a bit about myself and be vulnerable. I’ve recognized over the last several years, thru COVID and a 100% remote work the last 2 years, my life has become much more isolated.

We often say, Iron sharpens Iron. But the full verse from Proverbs 27:17 is ‘As iron sharpens iron, So one person sharpens another.’ We are called to share in community with other men. I realize how much I truly lack close relationship with other guys. I’ve been praying and asking for someone to come in and help me regain this connection but soon realized that wasn’t what God was calling me to do. After seeing several different moments over the last 6 months, and many, many conversations with M, I finally reached out to buddy at church for help and conversation.

I’m proud to say that this is helping. My purpose in sharing this today is to let you know that no man (person) is fine at all times, regardless of how good the situation is perceived or sometimes what is quickly said, for those that are in your life that you care about, check in with them. When they answer the question of ‘how are you’ with a quick ‘Good, thanks’, press in and ensure that’s the case. When the answer is hesitated on, that is also a good measure for leaning in.

Are care about you all. Let’s keep building our selves up

That’s a wrap

Quality of those people around you

You are what you eat. Right??? How many times have we’ve heard this before, the point to me is that your surroundings, your people, your environment shapes you. Are you happy? Are you disappointed? Are you fulfilled?

I’m not. Why? How many times have we slowed down to challenge our environment the same way we challenge ourselves? Do you feel that you press the people, the community, the REST, in the same manor you JUDGE yourselves?

My hope today is that we can challenge our status quo, not internally but externally.
