    26-285 You Do Not Have To Win The Argument

    WELCOME Here is the real reason most believers stay quiet. It is not that we do not care. It is that we are afraid of the follow-up question. What about suffering. What about other religions. What about the part of the Bible that is hard to explain. We run the scenario ahead of time, picture ourselves standing there with nothing to say, and decide it is safer to talk about the weather. I want to take that fear apart today, because Peter already answered it and his answer is a lot smaller than you think. ——— THIS IS FOR YOU IF…You stay silent because you are scared of being asked something you cannot answer. ——— BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT You are not required to defend all of Christianity. You are required to explain your own hope. ——— OUR SPRINGBOARD FOR TODAY’S DISCUSSION IS: “but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15, ESV) ——— WISDOM: GOD’S MASTER KEY TO LIFE God turned your story, and wisdom is how you answer the man who asks you why. We are giving away a free 30-day Master Class on God’s wisdom. Ten minutes a day, delivered straight to your phone. Text FAITH to (844) 847-6147 ——— MAIN MENTORING Read what Peter actually asks of you. Be prepared to give a reason for the hope that is in you. Not a reason for every doctrine. Not an argument for the age of the earth. The hope that is in you. That is your territory and nobody can take you out of it, because nobody else was there when God got hold of your life. And notice the setup. Anyone who asks you. Peter assumes your life is producing a question. If nobody ever asks, that is worth sitting with. Then the hard part. Do it with gentleness and respect. Plenty of us have the content and none of the tone. We win the exchange and lose the person. Peter puts gentleness in the same sentence as the defense, which means a harsh answer is a failed answer no matter how correct it was. And here is the freedom in it. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” (Romans 1:16, ESV) The power is in the gospel, not in your ability to present it. You are not the engine. You are the guy with the message. So when you do not know, say you do not know, and tell them what you do know. ——— DAILY ACTION Write your hope down in four sentences or less. Where you were. What God did. What is different now. Why you still trust Him. Then read it out loud once. If you cannot say it in a driveway in ninety seconds, cut it down until you can. ——— THE DAILY CHARGE Know your own story cold. That is the only testimony you will ever be asked to give. ——— LET’S PRAY Father, I have stayed quiet out of fear of looking foolish. Forgive me for caring more about my reputation than about the person in front of me. Remind me what You brought me out of. Put gentleness in my mouth and confidence in my chest. I do not have every answer. I have You. In Jesus’ name, amen. ——— RAK CHAZAK!! Only. Be. Strong!Semper InvictusFaith. Fire. Victory. ——— JOIN US Tomorrow we name the thing that keeps a grown man silent in a room full of people he works with. Subscribe and come get it.

    26-284 Step Outside The Room Where Everybody Already Agrees

    WELCOME Two weeks in and you have been working close to home. The name you wrote down. The person at your own table. The young guy on your crew. Now we go further out. Because there is a whole set of people in your life who have never once heard you say anything about God. Your neighbor. The guy at the counter. The woman in the next cubicle who thinks church people are a certain way and has you filed under something else entirely. You are already in the room with them. Today we deal with what you do in there. ——— THIS IS FOR YOU IF…Everybody you talk about God with already believes it, and you have made peace with that. ——— Salt that never touches anything is just sitting in a jar. ——— BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT You were not seasoned so you could sit with other salt. You were seasoned for the meal you are standing in. ——— OUR SPRINGBOARD FOR TODAY’S DISCUSSION IS: “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matthew 5:13-14, ESV) ——— WISDOM: GOD’S MASTER KEY TO LIFE God turned your story, and wisdom is what makes it taste like something to the people watching you. We are giving away a free 30-day Master Class on God’s wisdom. Ten minutes a day, delivered straight to your phone. Text FAITH to (844) 847-6147 ——— MAIN MENTORING Jesus says two things about you here and neither one is a suggestion. You are the salt of the earth. Salt does nothing in the shaker. It only works when it gets into the food. The whole point of salt is contact. And you are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. He does not say should not be. He says cannot. If the light is on, people see it from a long way off. So the question is not whether you are supposed to be out there. The question is what happens to salt that stays home. Then Paul tells you how to carry yourself once you are out. “Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.” (Colossians 4:5-6, ESV) Look at the word outsiders. Paul assumes you have relationships with people who are not in. He does not tell you to avoid them. He tells you to walk in wisdom around them. Gracious speech, seasoned with salt. Not bland and not bitter. And answer each person, which means you learn who is in front of you before you open your mouth. You are already in the room. Start acting like it on purpose. ——— DAILY ACTION Name one person in your regular week who does not believe what you believe. Not a stranger. Somebody you actually see. Today, do one deliberate kindness for them and say nothing about God while you do it. You are putting salt in the food. The conversation comes later. ——— THE DAILY CHARGE Get out of the shaker. The people who already agree with you do not need you there. ——— LET’S PRAY Father, I have built a life where everybody around me already believes. That was comfortable and it was not obedience. Send me back out. Give me wisdom with people who think I am strange, and grace in my mouth when I talk to them. Let my life taste like something they want. In Jesus’ name, amen. ——— RAK CHAZAK!! Only. Be. Strong!Semper InvictusFaith. Fire. Victory. ——— JOIN US Tomorrow we handle the fear underneath all of this, the fear of getting asked something you cannot answer.

    26-283 A Love Letter From God: I Have Been Teaching You The Whole Time

    BASED ON: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.” (Psalm 32:8, ESV) My child, You spent this week learning how to pour into someone else. I want you to stop and see who has been pouring into you. Every hard year taught you something. Every closed door was Me steering. The counsel you needed came, sometimes through a friend, sometimes through a verse that would not leave you alone, sometimes through a silence that made you finally listen. That was Me. I have never once taken My eye off you. I know you feel unfinished. You look at the man you are supposed to be and you see all the distance between here and there. Hear Me. I am not teaching you because you are behind. I am teaching you because you are Mine, and I finish what I begin. You are afraid of leading somebody else into a life you have not fully arrived at yourself. Nobody has arrived. Every man who ever pointed another man toward Me was still on the road when he did it. Keep walking and keep talking. I will cover what you lack. And when you say the hard thing this week, when you open your door and your life, I will be in the room. You will not run out of grace. You will not run out of Me. Rest today. Let Me instruct you a while longer before you go back out. I see you. I always have. Your Father ——— JOIN US Monday we start week three, and we step out past the people who already know you. Subscribe and walk it out with us. My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

    26-281 The Part Of Your Story You Keep Hiding Is The Part They Need

    WELCOME Every one of us has an edited version of our testimony. There is the one we tell at church, with the rough parts sanded down to a general statement about a hard season. Then there is the real one, the one with dates and damage and names we do not say out loud. We hide the second one because we think it disqualifies us. Today I want to show you from Scripture that God has been planning to use it the whole time. ——— THIS IS FOR YOU IF…You feel like a fraud pouring into somebody because they do not know what you actually did. ——— BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT God does not use your weakness in spite of the shame. He uses it as the evidence that He is real. ——— OUR SPRINGBOARD FOR TODAY’S DISCUSSION IS: “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9, ESV) ——— JOIN US AS A FAITH PARTNER Honest ministry is rare and it costs something to produce. Faith partners keep this unfiltered and free. If the honesty here has helped you, help us hand it to the next person. ——— MAIN MENTORING Paul had a wound he asked God three times to remove. God said no and told him why. My power is made perfect in weakness. Then watch what Paul does with that answer. He starts boasting about the weakness on purpose, so that the power of Christ may rest upon him. He quit hiding the thing and started pointing at it. Now look at how he talked about his past. “The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him.” (1 Timothy 1:15-16, ESV) Read that reason again. I received mercy for this reason, as an example. Paul says the worst of his record became the display case for the patience of Jesus. The man you are mentoring is not looking for somebody who never fell. He is looking for somebody who got up. Use wisdom on the details. Protect people who are not yours to expose. But quit hiding the fact that you were down there. That is the part he can stand on. ——— DAILY ACTION Write out the piece of your story you normally skip. Just for you, nobody else reads it. Then pick one true line from it you are willing to say out loud to the person you are walking with. ——— THE DAILY CHARGE Your scars are not a disqualification. They are the proof that God finishes what He starts. ——— LET’S PRAY Father, I have been ashamed of the very thing You paid for. Thank You for mercy I did not earn. Give me the courage to be honest about where I came from, with wisdom about what I share and who I protect. Let somebody find hope because I stopped pretending. In Jesus’ name, amen. ——— RAK CHAZAK!! Only. Be. Strong!Semper InvictusFaith. Fire. Victory. ——— JOIN US Tomorrow we close the week by naming who is already watching you, and it is probably not who you think. Subscribe so you catch it.

    26-282 Somebody Younger Is Already Watching You

    WELCOME Week two closes here, and I want to take the pressure off one thing and put it on another. The pressure off. You do not have to go find a stranger to disciple. God has almost certainly already placed somebody in your path. The pressure on. That means it is happening right now, whether you are paying attention or not. Your kids. A nephew. The young guy on your crew. The new person in your recovery group. Somebody is taking notes. You do not get to opt out of this. Somebody younger is already deciding what a man who follows God looks like, and they are using you as the sample. That is either good news or a warning, depending on the week you just had. Either way, it is happening. ——— THIS IS FOR YOU IF…You have been praying for an opportunity while walking past four of them a day. ——— BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT Faith does not travel by accident. One generation hands it to the next on purpose. ——— OUR SPRINGBOARD FOR TODAY’S DISCUSSION IS: “One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.” (Psalm 145:4, ESV) ——— JOIN US AS A FAITH PARTNER Everything here is built to be handed down. Faith partners fund a work that outlives all of us. If that is worth something to you, join us. ——— MAIN MENTORING One generation shall commend your works to another. That is the whole transfer, in one line. Commend means to speak well of, to make known, to tell. It is verbal and it is deliberate. The psalm does not describe faith soaking into the next generation by proximity. Somebody has to open their mouth and tell what God did. Every generation is one silence away from losing the story. And the LORD told Israel exactly where this happens. “You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” (Deuteronomy 6:7, ESV) Sitting. Walking. Lying down. Rising. That covers a whole day, and none of those settings are a classroom. This is dinner table work. Truck cab work. Standing at the sink work. So look around at who is already near you. You have been given people. The young man who asks you dumb questions. The kid who copies how you talk. They are already following you. Today you start doing it on purpose. ——— DAILY ACTION Name three people younger than you who are already in your regular path. Write the names down. Tell one of them, today, one specific thing God has done in your life. Not a lesson. A story with a real before and after. And there is a second half to this you cannot skip. Ask one of them a real question about their life and then be quiet long enough to actually hear the answer. Nobody follows a man who only talks. ——— THE DAILY CHARGE Do not let the story stop with you. Tell somebody younger what God did. ——— LET’S PRAY Father, open my eyes to who is already watching. Forgive me for praying for an opportunity while walking past the ones You gave me. Loosen my tongue at my own table. Let my children and the young ones around me hear what You have done and want it for themselves. In Jesus’ name, amen. ——— RAK CHAZAK!! Only. Be. Strong!Semper InvictusFaith. Fire. Victory. ——— JOIN US Tomorrow is Sunday. Set the work down and let Him speak to you directly. Subscribe so it reaches you first thing in the morning.

    26-280 Real Love Says The Hard Thing Out Loud

    WELCOME Here is where most mentoring relationships quietly die. Not in a blowup. In a silence. You see the thing. You know it is going to cost him his marriage or his sobriety or his integrity. And you decide today is not the day. Every man who has ever mentored anybody has stood in that silence and told himself the same lies. He is not ready to hear it. I might be wrong. It is not my place. Sometimes those are true. Usually they are cover. Then next month is not the day either. And a year later the thing you saw coming shows up and takes him apart, and you are standing there having said nothing. Today we fix that. ——— THIS IS FOR YOU IF… You keep swallowing the hard conversation because you do not want to lose the relationship. ——— The irony is that the silence costs you the relationship anyway. It just takes longer. ——— BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT Open rebuke from a friend is worth more than affection that lets you die comfortable. ——— OUR SPRINGBOARD FOR TODAY’S DISCUSSION IS: “Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.” (Proverbs 27:5-6, ESV) ——— JOIN US AS A FAITH PARTNER Truth that costs something is what we do here every day. No softening, no flattery. Faith partners keep that voice going out to people who need it and cannot pay for it. ——— MAIN MENTORING Hidden love is love that stays quiet to stay comfortable. Solomon says open rebuke beats it. Then he gives the picture. Faithful are the wounds of a friend. A friend can wound you. That is not a contradiction. A surgeon cuts because he wants you alive. And the other half lands harder. Profuse are the kisses of an enemy. The one who flatters you, who agrees with everything, who never questions a thing you do, that man is not for you. He just does not care enough to risk anything. Ask yourself which one you have been. Now the guardrail, because this gets abused. Plenty of men have used Proverbs 27 as cover for being harsh. “Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.” (Ephesians 4:15, ESV) Truth and love travel together. Truth without love wounds for no reason. Love without truth watches a man walk off a cliff. So say the hard thing. Say it privately. Say it once. Say it because you want him standing, not because you want to be right. ——— DAILY ACTION There is one sentence you have been holding. You know what it is and you know who it is for. Pray over it this morning, check your motive, and say it before the week ends. Not in a text. Not in a group. Face to face if you can get there, on the phone if you cannot. Open with what you see in him, name the one thing, then stop talking and let him answer. ——— THE DAILY CHARGE Do not let somebody you love walk off a cliff while you protect your own comfort. ——— LET’S PRAY Father, I have called my silence kindness and it was fear. Give me courage for the conversation I have been avoiding. Check my heart before I open my mouth so it comes out as love and not as ammunition. Let my words put a man back on his feet. In Jesus’ name, amen. ——— RAK CHAZAK!! Only. Be. Strong!Semper InvictusFaith. Fire. Victory. ——— JOIN US Tomorrow we go after the part of your story you have been hiding, and why it may be the most useful thing you own. Subscribe.

    26-279 You Are Not Their Savior And You Never Were

    WELCOME You will hit this wall. Everybody who has ever poured into another person hits it. You give them the truth. You give them time. You give them your phone number at midnight. And they go right back to the same thing that was killing them. Then it starts eating you. You lie awake running the tape. What did I miss. What should I have said. Maybe if I had pushed harder. Somewhere along the way you started measuring your obedience by his progress. That is a scale God never gave you and it does not weigh right. Maybe you already tried the other extreme. Pull back. Go cold. Tell yourself you are done. That does not work either, because you still love him and you know it. There is a third way and Paul lays it out. ——— THIS IS FOR YOU IF…You are carrying somebody’s choices like they are your failures. ——— There is a line between loving a man and trying to be God for him. Today we find it. ——— BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT You are responsible to them, not for them. God gives the growth and He has never asked you to do His job. ——— OUR SPRINGBOARD FOR TODAY’S DISCUSSION IS: “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.” (1 Corinthians 3:6-7, ESV) ——— JOIN US AS A FAITH PARTNER Nobody here is pretending to save anybody. We plant and water, seven days a week, and leave the growing to God. Faith partners keep that work in the ground. ——— MAIN MENTORING Paul is settling an argument. People were picking sides between teachers, and he cuts the legs out from under the whole thing. I planted. Apollos watered. God gave the growth. Planting is real work. Watering is real work. Paul does not say it does not matter. He says neither one of us is anything next to the One who makes it live. So when the man you are pouring into relapses, or walks away, or stalls out for a year, ask yourself an honest question. Did I plant. Did I water. If the answer is yes, you did your part. The growth was never on your schedule and never in your hands. “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2, ESV) Bearing his burden means walking with him under the weight. It does not mean taking the weight off his shoulders and putting it on yours. A man who never carries anything never gets strong. Keep planting. Keep watering. Keep showing up. Then go to sleep, because the growing happens at night in the dark where you cannot see it and cannot help. ——— DAILY ACTION Name the person whose choices you have been carrying. Say this out loud in prayer today. God, I planted and I watered. The growth belongs to You. Then let it go and mean it. Then do one thing for him that is actually yours to do. Send the text. Make the call. Keep the door open. You are not quitting on him. You are quitting the job that was never yours. ——— THE DAILY CHARGE Do your part all the way. Leave His part alone. ——— LET’S PRAY Father, I have been trying to do a job that was never mine. Forgive the pride in that and forgive the fear under it. I hand You the person I have been carrying. I will keep planting and watering and loving, and I will trust You for the growth I cannot see. Give me rest tonight. In Jesus’ name, amen. ——— RAK CHAZAK!! Only. Be. Strong!Semper InvictusFaith. Fire. Victory. ——— JOIN US Tomorrow we talk about the conversation nobody wants to have, the one that actually proves you love somebody. Subscribe and come ready.
