This episode addresses the commitment to becoming a disciple of Jesus, focusing on the steps and processes that follow this commitment. The speaker reflects on their early experiences with faith, emphasizing the need for a structured approach to discipleship beyond attending church services. Using a metaphor of creating trails in the woods, Chip highlights the importance of following a clear path in life, akin to Jesus' invitation to his disciples in Mark 1:17 to 'follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.' This episode outlines a discipleship pathway with focal points including speaking one's purpose, knowing the word, investing in individuals, lifting one's heart through prayer, living in community, and sharing the message. The session leverages Luke 2:40-52 to underscore Jesus' growth as a model for discipleship and presents an assessment for self-evaluation in these key areas. The goal is to live on mission, grow in faith, follow Jesus' footsteps, and help others do the same on the mission of Disciple Making.  Check out Discipleship.org for resources on disciple-making: https://discipleship.org/resources/ Check out this link to the book Discipleship that Fits: https://discipleship.org/shop/discipleship-that-fits/  Stay Informed - Get our newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hPViAr Key Takeaways: 00:00 The Invitation to Discipleship 01:19 The Process of Faithfulness 02:00 Creating Spiritual Pathways 04:51 Understanding Discipleship 05:48 Navigating Life's Trails 07:29 The Journey of Seeking 11:16 Living Life on Mission 17:05 The Skills of Jesus 26:30 Discovering Your Purpose 26:48 Understanding Your Identity in Christ 27:14 Embracing Your Unique Design 30:14 The Power of Knowing the Word 31:45 Investing in the One 34:44 Lifting Your Heart in Prayer 37:24 Living in Community 39:50 Sharing the Message 40:50 Assessment and Reflection   Resources on Discipleship The Definition of a Disciple Becoming a Disciple Maker https://church-multiplication.com/disciplemaker/

The traditional answer, centered on performance and duty, is not resonating with men today, leading many men to feel confused and disconnected from their faith. Let’s let Tim share some insights with us on how we can begin to foster biblical understanding and spiritual growth in our churches. The episode focuses on the question 'What is a biblical man?' and discusses the inadequacies of traditional performance-based definitions. With statistics showing that men are disengaging from church activities and leadership, the speaker introduces three truths to redefine biblical manhood: understanding one's identity as a child of God, living life through Jesus, and viewing life from God's perspective. The speaker mentions a new model called 'The Man Journey' and emphasizes the need for identity and spiritual growth over performance. Discussions include the importance of scripture immersion, role modeling, group dynamics, and accountability. The session also highlights effective biblical study tools, discipleship, and the significance of transparent leadership to foster true spiritual growth.   Stay Informed - Get our newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hPViAr   Key Takeaways: 00:00 Introduction and Current Challenges 00:59 The Problem with Performance-Based Definitions 02:13 The Man Journey: A New Approach 02:47 Insights from a Men's Pastor 04:36 The Three Truths of Biblical Manhood 04:49 Understanding Identity in Christ 05:42 Living by the Life of Another 07:23 Freedom to Fail and Its Impact 09:37 Viewing Life from God's Perspective 23:18 Practical Applications and Group Dynamics 27:20 Understanding Identity in Christ 28:09 Modeling and Transformation 29:02 Sharing Personal Stories 31:10 The Importance of Vulnerability 37:11 Encouragement and Accountability 41:39 Vision and Discipleship 47:08 David's Example of God's Perspective Resources on Discipleship Becoming a Disciple Maker Biblical Study Tools: https://discipleship.org/resources/ebooks/  Defining Discipleship: https://discipleship.org/bobbys-blog/the-definition-of-disciple/

Tim underscores the need to provide a coherent, relatable answer, especially to our younger men. He proposes three core truths that define a biblical man. First, understanding one's identity as a child of God, distinct from one's actions but profoundly influencing them. Second, learning to live by the life of Jesus within us, which allows men to embrace their imperfection and lean on Christ's strength. Third, seeing how this understanding transforms daily living, enabling men to make a significant impact while enjoying a deeper relationship with God.   Stay Informed - Get our newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hPViAr   Key Takeaways: 00:00 Introduction to the Topic 00:30 Defining Biblical Manhood 00:53 Father and Son Retreat Experience 02:21 Challenges in Defining Biblical Manhood 06:37 The Struggle with Male Leadership 08:36 The Importance of Identity in Christ 14:16 Living by the Life of Jesus 18:47 Understanding Rest in Him 19:15 Living Through His Works 19:49 Enjoying Life Through Christ 22:44 Scriptural Insights on Living by His Life 25:24 Battling Temptation with Identity 27:39 The Power of Sin and Identity 29:49 Living by the Life of Another 35:31 Concluding Thoughts on Identity and Purpose   Resources on Discipleship The Definition of a Disciple Becoming a Disciple Maker https://church-multiplication.com/disciplemaker/

He highlights the startling statistics related to church involvement, faith abandonment among young men, and the lack of male participation in church activities. Many men derive their value from their material possessions and professional achievements rather than from their identity in Christ, resulting in leadership issues and a sense of despair, confusion, and hopelessness. This episode underscores the need for men to seek friendship, community, and spiritual growth, promoting a model of discipleship and intentional time with fewer people for greater impact.
