    Ask for Directions!

    The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Garth Heckman Are you able to ask for directions? Why do men get made fun of for not asking for directions… I have never had a problem with asking for directions… but I guess some men do. Hmmmm weird, but anyway there is a myth out there called    The Myth of the Maverick Gentlemen, let’s be honest about something. For most of us, asking for help doesn’t just feel uncomfortable. It feels like an admission of weakness or defeat. We’ve been conditioned to believe that a real leader is a lone warrior—the man who has all the answers, carries all the weight, and never, ever shows a crack in his armor. We look at asking for help as a white flag. We think it means: "I am not strong enough. I am failing." But I want to challenge that today. Keeping your mouth shut when you are drowning isn’t leadership. It’s pride. And biblically speaking, isolation is the most dangerous position a man can put himself in. Look at the life of Moses in Exodus 18. Moses was the ultimate leader. He led millions of people out of Egypt, parted the Red Sea, and spoke to God face-to-face. Talk about a resume. But Moses fell into the trap of the "Maverick." He was sitting from morning until night, trying to judge every single dispute for the entire nation of Israel by himself. He was carrying the whole weight on his own shoulders. His father-in-law, Jethro, watches this play out and gives him a brutal reality check in Exodus 18:17-18: "What you are doing is not good. You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone." Notice what Jethro didn't say. He didn’t say, "Moses, you lack vision." He didn't say, "Moses, you lack character or anointed power." He said, "The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone." Even the most anointed, powerful leader in the Old Testament had human limitations. Moses’ value didn't drop because he needed help; his leadership capacity expanded when he accepted it. He appointed capable men to share the burden, and only then did the nation thrive. Men, true biblical leadership is never about independence; it is about interdependence. God did not design you to be a solo operator. Ecclesiastes 4:12 tells us, "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." When you refuse to ask for help—whether it’s in your marriage, your business, your mental health, or your spiritual life—you aren't protecting your leadership. You are starving it. You are cutting yourself off from the strategic reinforcement God has placed around you. Asking for help is not a failure of leadership; it is an act of strategic ownership. It’s looking at the mission and saying, "The mission is more important than my ego. Winning the battle matters more than me getting the credit for doing it alone." Let’s drop the lone-wolf act. Real strength is having the courage to look a brother in the eye and say, "The work is too heavy today. I need another strand in the cord." That’s not weakness. That is how kingdoms are built.

    How He sees us!

    The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com  Garth Heckman Driving with Kim in the car when we were first married. I pulled a gun on a guy in a corvette!  I was on my way to Youth Group - I was the youth pastor.   Judges 6  11 Then the angel of the Lord came and sat beneath the great tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash of the clan of Abiezer. Gideon son of Joash was threshing wheat at the bottom of a winepress to hide the grain from the Midianites. 12 The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!” 13 “Sir,” Gideon replied, “if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn’t they say, ‘The Lord brought us up out of Egypt’? But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites.” 14 Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!”         1. He Was Living in Poverty and Oppression For seven years, Israel had been brutally oppressed by the Midianites, Amalekites, and other eastern peoples. The oppression was so severe that the Israelites had abandoned their homes in the valleys to live in dens, caves, and strongholds in the mountains (Judges 6:2). The invaders would sweep through the land like locusts, destroying crops and slaughtering livestock. The text notes that Israel was "brought very low" because of Midian. Gideon wasn't a wealthy noble or a ruling judge; he was a victim of a devastating, nationwide economic and military siege.   2. He Was Hiding in a Winepress When the Angel of the Lord finds Gideon, he is threshing wheat in a winepress (Judges 6:11). Why this matters: Wheat was traditionally threshed in an open, elevated area (a threshing floor) so the wind could blow away the chaff. A winepress, however, was a pit dug into the ground or carved into rock. Operating out of fear, survival and panic.     3. He Was From an Insignificant, Idol-Worshipping Family   4. He Was Battling Deep Skepticism and Grief Gideon’s immediate reaction to the Angel’s blessing ("The Lord is with you, mighty warrior") is not pride, but bitter skepticism. He looked at his current reality and concluded that God had abandoned them:   The Irony of the Title When God calls Gideon a "mighty warrior," Gideon is: In hiding (not in battle) Doubting God's presence (not acting in faith) Belittling his own status (not displaying courage) The title was prophetic. God was not validating Gideon’s current resume; He was naming the potential that He was about to unlock through His own power.       When the Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon in Judges 6:12 and addressed him as a "mighty warrior" it was a statement of what God would do through him, not a description of who Gideon currently was.   He saw what he would do - which in turn is who he would be - in turn is who He really was in Gods eyes!      Can an egg fly? Can a puppy protect you?  Can an acorn shade, protect and feed thousands of animals? Can a spark destroy city?    We see an egg - God sees an eagle! We see a puppy - God sees the Rottweiler that attacked the sex predator who ran into the Childs yard.  We see an acorn - God sees The Foret de Trancais 26,000 acre forest We see a spark - God sees the Chinchaga fire burning 4.2 million acres.    Do you think when Jesus saw the disciples arguing over who would be the greatest, when Peter would deny him, when Thomas would doubt him, when they would not understand simple scripture, when they could not heal a boy, or worried over storms, food or religious leaders… HE SAW THEIR STORY! You will all be so committed and change the world so powerfully that they will need to Kill you to stop you! And you will be honored to give your life for me!      How does Jesus see us? We are salt We are light We are friends We are secure in him We have overcome the world We will do greater works then Jesus We will have rivers of living water flow out of us We will tread on serpents, scorpions, nothing will hurt us We are plugged directly into him He is always with us We will crush the serpents head We are the head and not the tail We wear a robe of righteousness We are more than conquerors    EVEN WITH THE DISCIPLES… JESUS WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED IN THEM - BUT NEVER REJECT THEM OR GET ANGRY AT THEM OR SHAMED THEM. Rather he would Ask a question Correct their perception And never reject them.      2 Kings 6 The King of Aram is mad and thinks there is a traitor. It is Elisha… Go kill him.  -  14 So one night the king of Aram sent a great army with many chariots and horses to surround the city. 15 When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. “Oh, sir, what will we do now?” the young man cried to Elisha. 16 “Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!” 17 Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.      -  Its right there!  What is? Your answer - it’s right there. You just can’t see it.  **Yesterday I was praying and seeking Gods wisdom on finances… he pointed to my kitchen table and showed me a stack of money… he said its right there. You just can’t see it… but its there.     You might think you can’t see it because you are in the dark… no you are not in the dark, you are in the preparation phase which can feel like the dark.   The Chinese Bamboo Tree (your example) Spends the first 5 years growing almost nothing above ground while developing a massive, deep root system. In the 6th year, it can grow 80–90 feet in just 6 weeks.   The Saguaro Cactus Grows extremely slowly — often only 1–2 inches in the first 10 years. It can take 30–40 years before it even grows its first arm. Then, once established, it can live 150–200 years and reach 40–60 feet tall.

    The Cross vs. Submission

    Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com  #The brotherhood manifesto #TripleCsurvivor  Taking up your cross" is often viewed through a lens of submission, but when analyzed through the mechanics of character and endurance, it reveals itself as a high-level feat of internal power. Here are three talking points on why this act represents the ultimate expression of strength: 1. The Mastery of Volitional Suffering True strength is rarely found in the absence of pain, but rather in the voluntary adoption of responsibility despite it. Most people spend their lives fleeing discomfort or seeking the path of least resistance. To "take up a cross" is to consciously choose a difficult path for the sake of a higher purpose. It requires a level of psychological and spiritual fortitude that far exceeds mere physical exertion because it involves silencing the primal instinct for self-preservation in favor of duty. 2. The Weight of Integrity Over Ego The "cross" often represents the heavy burden of standing for truth, even when it is socially or personally costly. It is easy to be "strong" when the crowd is cheering you on; it is a monumental feat of strength to carry a conviction that makes you a target. This represents the shift from external validation to internal alignment. It takes more "lifting power" to carry the weight of one's principles through a storm of opposition than it does to follow the momentum of the status quo. 3. Absolute Discipline of the Will In any high-performance endeavor, the greatest enemy is the "inner quitter"—the part of the mind that seeks comfort when the load gets heavy. Taking up your cross is the ultimate exercise in willpower over whim. It is a daily, repetitive commitment to a mission that offers no immediate physical reward. This type of endurance builds a "moral callus," transforming a person from someone who reacts to their environment into someone who purposefully shapes their character through sustained, disciplined action. This concept suggests that the strongest person in the room isn't necessarily the one with the most power over others, but the one with the most po

    20 hours vs. 15 minutes

    TDAgiantslayer@Gmail.com The David Alliance  Garth Heckman   The Busy Man's Substitute     There is something about a man that would rather build something than bow to something. Give a man a mission and he'll work himself to exhaustion. Ask that same man to sit quietly in prayer for thirty minutes and he'll suddenly remember seventeen things that need to get done first. We are, by nature, doers. And somewhere along the way, we convinced ourselves that doing things for God was the same as being with God. It is not.   The Scripture "But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, 'Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!' 'Martha, Martha,' the Lord answered, 'you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed — or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken from her.'" — Luke 10:40–42   Now before you say "that's a story about women" — slow down.   Martha is every man who has ever stayed busy for God while quietly avoiding intimacy with God. She wasn't sinning. She was serving. She was working hard, doing good things, keeping everything moving. And Jesus gently called it a distraction.   The Honest Truth About Why We'd Rather Work 1. Work gives us something to show for ourselves. Prayer produces nothing we can photograph, present, or point to. You can't put thirty minutes of quiet conversation with God on a report. But a new ministry program? A mission trip organized? A church built? That's something. That feels like proof we matter. The hard truth is that a lot of what we call "work for God" is really work for our own sense of worth. We need to feel productive. We need to feel useful. Sitting in silence with God doesn't feed that hunger — it exposes it. 2. Work keeps us in control. When you're managing a project, you hold the pen. You make the calls. You set the timeline. Prayer requires the opposite posture. It requires you to come to Someone greater than yourself, admit you don't have all the answers, and wait. For a man wired to lead and fix and solve — that is genuinely uncomfortable. We don't like waiting. We don't like not knowing. And prayer, at its core, is an act of surrender. 3. Work keeps us from the conversation we're afraid to have. Here's the one most men won't say out loud: sometimes we stay busy because being still means being honest. And being honest with God means the real stuff surfaces — the fear, the failure, the sin we've been managing around, the doubt we've never admitted to anyone. A project never asks you how you're really doing. God always does.   The Deeper Problem When a man substitutes work for prayer, he doesn't just miss out on rest — he starts running on his own fuel. And a man running on his own fuel will eventually hit empty at exactly the wrong moment. Every great project built without a foundation of prayer is just a man's plan with God's name on it. Moses didn't lead two million people through the desert on strategy. David didn't defeat Goliath on confidence. Nehemiah didn't rebuild the wall on project management skills. Each of them had one thing in common before the great work began — they had been alone with God long enough to know it was His work and not theirs. The work they did for God flowed out of the time they spent with God. That order matters more than most men realize.   The Gut Check Ask yourself honestly: When was the last time I prayed longer than I planned for a project? Do I know God's voice — or just His assignments? Am I building His kingdom or building my reputation inside His kingdom? If God called a halt to every ministry project tomorrow, would I still have a relationship with Him — or would I have nothing left to talk about?   The Invitation Jesus didn't say Martha's work was wrong. He said Mary's choice was better. The better thing is not always the bigger thing. Sometimes the most powerful thing a man can do for God's kingdom is close the laptop, silence the phone, sit down in a quiet room and say — "I'm here. Not to report. Not to plan. Not to ask for anything. Just — here." That kind of prayer doesn't feel productive. It doesn't look like much from the outside. But it is the one thing that turns ordinary men into dangerous ones. Because a man who knows how to be with God is a man God can trust with the work.   Closing Prayer Lord, forgive me for the times I mistook my busyness for faithfulness. Teach me that You want my presence before You want my productivity. Still the part of me that needs to perform — and grow the part of me that simply needs You. Amen.   "Be still and know that I am God." — Psalm 46:10

    Your voice is power!

    The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com  Garth Heckman Point 1 — Your Voice Creates Identity in Those Who Have Never Heard Their Name Called Right One of the deepest wounds of fatherlessness is not just the absence of provision or protection — it is the absence of being named. A father's voice is the first place a child learns who they are. When that voice is gone, the void doesn't stay empty. The street fills it. Culture fills it. Peers fill it. Trauma fills it. When a man speaks affirmation, correction, vision, and truth into a young person's life — especially a young man who has never had that — it is not a small thing. It is reconstructive. You are not just encouraging someone. You are building an identity that was never built. "The tongue has the power of life and death." — Proverbs 18:21 Words from the right man at the right moment can redirect an entire life trajectory. Don't underestimate what it means to simply say — "I see you. I believe in you. You have what it takes." Many young men are starving for exactly that sentence from a man they respect.   Point 2 — Silence Is Not Neutral — It Is a Decision With Consequences Many men stay silent because they feel unqualified. They think — "I have my own issues. Who am I to speak into someone else's life?" But in a fatherless generation, a good man's silence is one of the most destructive forces in a community. When men don't speak up — in homes, in churches, in neighborhoods, in the lives of boys watching them — those boys don't experience a neutral environment. They experience abandonment again. The absence of a voice teaches its own lesson: "You are not worth my words. You are not worth my time." "And I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap... but I found none." — Ezekiel 22:30 God is not looking for perfect men. He is looking for present ones. Men willing to stand in the gap. The bar is not perfection — it is availability. Your broken, imperfect, still-being-sanctified voice is infinitely more powerful than a polished silence.   Point 3 — Your Voice Has a Generational Reach You Cannot Fully See Most men who step up to speak into a fatherless generation will never know the full weight of what they did. You may pour into a 14-year-old boy for two years and feel like nothing stuck — and then that boy becomes a 30-year-old father who raises his children differently because of something you said that he never forgot. This is the nature of generational impact. You are not just speaking to the person in front of you. You are speaking to everyone they will ever raise, lead, or influence. The ripple goes further than your eyes can follow. "A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children." — Proverbs 13:22 That inheritance is not just financial. It is verbal, moral, and spiritual. Every word of truth, every moment of correction wrapped in love, every time you call out greatness in someone who couldn't see it themselves — that is inheritance. That is legacy. And in a generation starving for fathers, one man with a willing voice can father hundreds without ever being their biological dad.   Closing Charge to Men You did not choose the generation you were born into — but you were placed here on purpose. The fatherlessness around you is not just a social statistic. It is your assignment. Open your mouth. Speak life. Show up. The generation coming behind you is not looking for perfect men. They are simply looking for men who stayed.

    Jesus says "Dust'em off!"

    Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      #The brotherhood manifesto #TripleCsurvivor    Canker sores   Mark 6:10 Also He said to them, “In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place. 11 And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”   1. Release Responsibility — You Are Called to Deliver, Not Convince   Jesus draws a hard line: You are responsible for faithful delivery, not forced results.   The disciples were sent to preach, heal, and proclaim—but not to argue people into belief. When rejection came, they weren’t told to try harder… they were told to move on.   Core truth:   Rejection of the message is not failure of the messenger.   This protects you from:   Emotional burnout Needing validation Over-investing in resistant people   Application (especially for you as a leader/coach): You can preach truth, coach men, build movements—but you cannot make a man receive it. Some people are assignments… others are distractions.   2. Refuse Contamination — Don’t Carry What You Were Never Meant to Keep   In Jewish culture, shaking dust off your feet was symbolic: “I will not even carry the residue of this place with me.”   Jesus is teaching:   Don’t carry rejection into your next assignment Don’t let offense poison your spirit Don’t let one closed door affect your next open one   Core truth:   What you carry forward will either fuel you or infect you.   If you don’t “shake it off,” you’ll bring:   Bitterness into your next conversation Hesitation into your next opportunity Distrust into your next relationship   Application: Every leader must develop the discipline of **emotional clearance**:   Release the offense Drop the disappointment Refuse to rehearse the rejection   You don’t need closure—you need clean feet.   3. Recognize Judgment — Rejection of Truth Has Consequences   Jesus says something intense: It will be **worse than Sodom and Gomorrah for those who reject the message.   That means:   Rejecting truth is not neutral Ignoring God’s invitation is a serious decision Accountability increases with exposure   Shaking the dust wasn’t just emotional—it was a testimony:   “You had your opportunity.”   Core truth:   Light rejected becomes judgment received.   This gives weight to your mission:   What you carry matters What people do with it matters even more   Application: This should produce:   Urgency in your message Clarity in your communication Peace in your departure   You don’t leave bitter—you leave **witnessing**.      Closing Statement (Sermon Punch)    “I will not beg where I was sent to bless.  I will not carry what tried to bury me.  And I will not stay where God said move.”

    Stoned, but not stopped!

    Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      #The brotherhood manifesto #TripleCsurvivor      Acts 14 19 Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead. 20 However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 1. Persecution is Real, But God’s Purpose is Greater Paul faced brutal opposition—Jews from previous cities followed him, stirred up the crowd, and stoned him, dragging his body outside the city gates thinking he was dead. This shows the cost of bold gospel preaching. Yet Paul’s story reminds us that opposition does not equal defeat. God can sustain His servants through physical danger, rejection, and apparent failure. Application: When you face pushback for your faith—at work, in relationships, or in culture—remember Paul. The same God who preserved him is with you. Difficulty doesn’t mean you missed God’s will; it may confirm you’re on the right path. 2. The Strength of Community and the Power of Getting Back Up After the stoning, the disciples gathered around Paul, and “he rose up.” The text doesn’t say an angel appeared or a dramatic miracle was described—simply that faithful believers surrounded him, and he got back on his feet. This highlights two powerful truths:   We need each other. Isolation makes recovery harder. God often uses ordinary acts of faithfulness (gathering, praying, encouraging) to bring supernatural strength.   Application: Don’t try to endure hardship alone. Surround yourself with disciples of Jesus, and be the kind of person who runs toward the hurting instead of away from them. God specializes in raising up what the world writes off as finished. 3. The Mission Continues—Don’t Stay Down The very next day, Paul got up, went back into the city (the same place that tried to kill him), and then traveled on with Barnabas to Derbe. He didn’t quit, hide, or take an extended break. His resilience propelled the gospel forward. This is a picture of relentless obedience. The enemy’s best shot wasn’t enough to stop God’s plan. Application: What “stoning” have you experienced—failure, criticism, health issues, betrayal? Paul shows us the next faithful step is often just getting up and taking the next step in obedience. The mission is bigger than our wounds. Keep moving forward. Key Takeaway for the Whole Passage: Faithfulness to Jesus doesn’t guarantee safety, but it does guarantee that God can turn even stoning into a stepping stone for greater impact. Like Paul, may we rise up, lean on the community of believers, and keep advancing the gospel no matter the cost.

    Anybody, Nobody, Somebody!

    Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      #The brotherhood manifesto #TripleCsurvivor      Two mistakes in a mans life… caring about what everybody thinks… and Not caring about what anybody thinks. Both are extreme traps… What if you cared about what certain men in your life thought… men who were involved in a deep spiritual walk, men who were committed family men, men who were not ashamed of the gospel? What if you cared what they thought?    Men in todays world can make the mistake of looking for everyone's approval or not caring about anyones approval like personal autonomy. both have dangers. Can you give me a few talking points on this subject?Here are some clear, balanced talking points on the tension between seeking everyone's approval versus caring about no one's approval (extreme personal autonomy). Both extremes are common traps for men today, and both carry real dangers. You can use these as notes for a conversation, podcast, article, or self-reflection.   1. The Approval-Seeking Trap (People-Pleasing)   Modern culture (social media, corporate environments, dating apps) rewards constant validation-seeking. Likes, shares, and "being nice" get rewarded in the short term. Dangers: Loss of self: You slowly abandon your own values, goals, and boundaries to avoid conflict or disapproval. Resentment buildup: Constantly suppressing your real thoughts leads to quiet frustration and eventual blow-ups or burnout. Weakness signal: People (especially women and other men) subconsciously lose respect for men who need universal approval. It reads as low confidence and low status. Manipulation vulnerability: You're easily controlled by bosses, partners, friends, or social pressure.   Extreme version: The "nice guy" who finishes last because he has no spine.   2. The "I Don't Care What Anyone Thinks" Trap (False Autonomy)   This often comes as a backlash — "I'm sigma," "I'm my own man," "society is lame." It feels empowering at first. Dangers: Social isolation: Humans are tribal. Complete disregard for others' opinions cuts you off from feedback, alliances, and opportunities. Blind spots: No one is 100% objective. Rejecting all input means you never correct course on bad habits, poor decisions, or character flaws. Arrogance and immaturity: It can mask insecurity or emotional stuntedness ("If I pretend I don't care, I can't get hurt"). Practical failure: Career, relationships, and reputation suffer when you alienate everyone. Even high-agency men need sponsors, mentors, partners, and networks. Extreme version: The lone wolf who ends up bitter, alone, and wondering why life is so hard.     3. The Healthy Middle Path: Selective Approval + Inner Sovereignty   Strong men care deeply about the opinions of a small, high-quality circle — not everyone. Whose approval should matter? Your own (first), then people you respect: mentors, close friends with character, family worth keeping, romantic partners who have earned it, and competent colleagues. Whose approval should not matter? Random strangers online, low-character people, ideological enforcers, or those who don't have skin in the game with you.   Key principle: Internal locus of control combined with reality-testing. Judge yourself primarily by your own standards and results, not feelings or popularity. Use selective external feedback as data, not as your compass.   This builds real confidence: You're not fragile to criticism, but you're not delusional either.   4. Practical Advice for Men Today   Build a personal code or mission that is non-negotiable. When your actions align with it, external noise loses power. Practice "strategic disagreement": Be willing to politely say no or hold an unpopular view when it matters. This earns respect faster than constant agreement. Develop thick skin through exposure: Lift weights, take cold showers, face rejection deliberately (e.g., cold approaching, sales, public speaking). Emotional calluses help. Audit your relationships: Distance from chronic critics who drain you; invest in reciprocal relationships where honest feedback flows both ways. Remember biology and reality: Men are wired for status and competence more than constant emotional harmony. Chasing universal approval often clashes with masculine drive.   5. One-Liner Talking Points You Can Drop   "Seeking everyone's approval makes you a slave. Caring about no one's approval makes you a fool." "The mature man doesn't need the world's permission — but he isn't too proud to learn from worthy sources." "True autonomy isn't 'I don't care.' It's 'I care about the right things, from the right people.'" "Approval addiction is quiet self-betrayal. Total detachment is quiet self-sabotage." "Respect is earned through integrity and competence, not through people-pleasing or edgelord posturing."
