    "Why Jesus Chose Fishermen Over Pastors | The 5 Traits"

    Ever wonder why Jesus didn't recruit from the religious elite? In this powerful episode of Raising The Standard, Josh Khachadourian breaks down the 5 strategic traits Jesus looked for in His disciples—and why these same characteristics are essential for Kingdom-driven men today. Jesus didn't go after scholars or theologians. He walked straight to the marketplace and chose builders, business owners, and risk-takers with calloused hands and the courage to bet everything on a moment's notice. These weren't random choices—they were strategic decisions that reveal what Christ needs in men who will advance His Kingdom. In this episode, you'll discover: ✅ Why Jesus recruited BUILDERS who owned businesses, homes, and had families (and why you need to be building something right now) ✅ The shocking truth about discretionary time and money—why the disciples could leave their businesses for 3 years and what that means for your financial stewardship ✅ How community experience qualified the disciples for Kingdom work (and why isolation is disqualifying you from your assignment) ✅ Why high risk tolerance was non-negotiable for fishermen on the Sea of Galilee—and why playing it safe is the riskiest move you can make ✅ The power of swift, high-risk decision making—why the disciples dropped their nets immediately and what's holding you back from decisiveness This episode is for you if you want: - Biblical masculinity principles that create real transformation - Strategic insight into Jesus' leadership and disciple selection - Practical coaching questions to challenge your current trajectory - Tools to step into your full Kingdom assignment - To understand what qualifies a man for greater responsibility in God's Kingdom Powerful coaching questions inside: - What are you building right now that Jesus could point to? - Do you have margin? Could you step away if God called you today? - Who's in your corner holding you accountable? - Where are you playing it safe instead of stepping into risk? - What decision are you avoiding that God has already spoken to you about? Josh Khachadourian is the author of "Kingdom Driven: The Definitive Guide for How Driven Christian Men Can Dominate In Life" and founder of the Standard 59 Mastermind—a brotherhood of Kingdom-driven men connecting with God, mastering their minds, multiplying their finances, and taking dominion.
