Tired of your growth stalling? Discover the surprising truth even Tom Brady & Serena Williams follow for exponential development. The arrogance to believe we can grow without accountability breeds the same pride that precedes a fall.

Welcome to the Five by the Fire Podcast

Overview
The importance of accountability for continued growth and development, even for elite performers
The connection between being a "disciple" and "discipline" - true discipleship requires ongoing training and self-control
The pitfalls of thinking you no longer need accountability or can grow alone
Examples of elite athletes like Tom Brady, Serena Williams still having coaches/trainers for accountability
Scriptural references emphasizing the need for community, togetherness and accountability (Hebrews 12:11, 1 Timothy 4:7-8)
Personal motivations behind the Five by the Fire podcast and Ordered Chaos Club blog for daily Scripture engagement

Key Quotes:

"Where I lack accountability, I soon exhibit a lack of discipline."
"The arrogance to believe we can grow without accountability breeds the same pride that precedes a fall."
"All discipline seems painful at the moment, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." (Hebrews 12:11)

Call to Action:

Identify your "creative craft" that God has called you to
Build discipline around that craft through community accountability
Understand you never truly "arrive" but can have immeasurable eternal impact as a disciplined disciple

Today's Readings from the Plan:  Numbers 25, Psalm 68, Isaiah 15, and 1 Peter 3

Focus Passage: Hebrews 5: 13-14

Read the Text, Meditate on it, Pray Through It, & Contemplate the Impact

13 No one who lives on milk alone can know the ins and outs of what it means to be righteous and pursue justice; that’s because he is only a baby. 14 But solid food is for those who have come of age, for those who have learned through practice to distinguish good from evil.

"What Keeps Me from Moving Forward?" – A Devotional | Season 3, Ep. 8

OUR TRUE CALLING IS OFTEN HINDERED NOT BY OBSTACLES, BUT BY A CLEAR PATH TO LESSER GOALS.

Today’s Readings from the Plan: Numbers 14, Psalm 50, Isaiah 3-4, and Hebrews 11

Focus Passage: Philippians 3:12-16

Read the Text, Meditate on it, Pray Through It, & Contemplate the Impact

12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. 16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained.

Today's Readings from the Plan: ‭‭ Exodus 32; John 11; Proverbs 8; Ephesians 1

Focus Passage:‭‭ ‭‭ ‭‭John‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Read the Text, Meditate on it, Pray Through It, & Contemplate the Impact

”Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.” But when Jesus heard it he said, “This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.“
