Lawson: Eric ballard, the co author of our book, bring your hammer, did a masterful job in this chapter. This story that he wrote about learning to drive brought me right back to my grandfather's farm when i was like ten years old. He kind of taught me drive out there on the dirt road. And couldn't really hurt anything out in the middle of nowhere. But i remember distinctly that feeling of running in the house and feeling like, ouno, wanted to tell my grandmother or my mam, or whoever like that i just drove.

Glory can be one of our biggest downfalls when we direct it away from God. It often brings out the opposite of an "attitude of gratitude." We can't let our successes (financial, career, life accomplishments) convince us that we did it all on our own. Resisting the temptation to lay claim to personal triumphs helps bring glory to God's grace, not ourselves. "But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.” (Deuteronomy 8:18). Download 2 chapters of Bring Your Hammer for free: manhoodjourney.org/HAMMER
