There You Were
When I thought I was alone, there You where
When I sold my soul to drugs and sex, there You where
When my lowest could get no lower and I basked in the filthiest sin imaginable, there You where
When I served the enemy and tried to destroy your wonderful name, there You where
When I was willing to take my life because all hope was lost, there You where
Through it all You where there, and never turned...
I AM A SOWER
Today we take on line four of the Disciple vision statement: I AM A SOWER!
Take a moment to read and meditate James 3:2-12. It says that just like the tiny rudder turns the ship, the tongue turns the man. In other words, change starts with what you say, and then becomes what you do. First we must read the Word, then we must fast and pray so we can accept the Word and let it germinate inside us,...

I AM A MAN OF GOD
Today we start with line one of the Disciple vision statement: I AM A MAN OF GOD.

Making Burnout a Renewing Fire
Making Burnout a Renewing Fire
The Lord has been speaking to me today about burnout and stepping back. Most of us are men who take things to an obscenely dedicated level. No one can keep up a furious pace forever. Eventually you'll start to feel like why aren't the other Bros doing as much as I am? You'll start to resent all the hard work you're doing. You'll stop reading your Bible. You'll get...
FASTING IS FOR YOU
Striving to Please Jesus
You are called to please God with your lifestyle. We pursue righteousness. We reject addictions, fleshly pleasures and worldly things. Yes, your flesh loves cigars, no you don't smoke them. Yes you would like to eat today, but you're fasting. We are busy trying to please God not give our flesh every little thing it desires. Gal 6:8 He who sows to the flesh reaps corruption, he who sows to the...
The Awesome Spiritual Skillset
The Awesome Spiritual Skillset
A Drill Sgt was telling me how week one they intimidate the new recruits so they will listen. Then they show the recruits their awesome skillset, how they can shoot straighter, run farther, wrestle better, do more push-ups. Then they teach and mentor them how to have the awesome skillset.
Because if you want to teach and mentor men, first you have to be the real deal...
Leaders Needed
The leadership in this club are amazing. I'm so proud of each of them, from the national leadership down through the states, what a great bunch of guys. But our club is suffering from a lack of leadership. We have a great national leadership structure, and the established charters have great Presidents. But we have about 20 charters who don't have a president elected and need guidance. These are...
Need Some Peace?
Need Some Peace?
When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Prov 16:7. Even his enemies. So in other words God makes everything in your life peace, all the small stuff, even the big stuff like your enemies. Wow so that kinda sounds like Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds...
Watch Them Come - by Disciple Big Beard
Watch Them Come
I recently had a conversation with a brother in another state, and he asked me if I had some insights about an area of frustration he found in his state. The fact is, if you’re in a state that has any size to it, you may be experiencing the same frustration. So I’m going to draw some conclusions in this post to also address those frustrations.
Christianity is not about trying to...
