In the larger-than-life, spiritually transformed people I have met, I always find one common denominator: in some sense, they have all died before they died. They have followed in the footsteps of Jesus, a path from death to life.
– Adam’s Return
In his account of the Larger Story, Matthew writes, “Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. This is what he said: 'You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.'” (Matthew 5:1-3, MSG)
In this episode of the Become Good Soil Podcast, I’m joined by three of Jesus’ climbing companions: Aaron McHugh, Ryan Ruebsahm, and John Scott Mooring. All three are men who at some point reached the end of their ropes. All three have sat in the pain and limitations of their own private resources. And all three have found even more of God and his rule in their lives.
In time and over time, these men have followed the path and process of Jesus, passing through death into more and more life.
In Part 1 of this conversation, they share stories from the blood, sweat, and tears of their own masculine initiation. Spiritually transformed, they are men who have become larger than life.
And they’re inviting us to do the same.
Come along into an intimate conversation between like-hearted men of the BGS fellowship.
For the Kingdom,
Morgan
