011: A New Name
Who am I? Whose am I? Do I have what it takes? In this episode, Jay breaks down these questions and challenges us to ask God who He calls us. We hope you are encouraged by this message from our last 5-day challenge.Episode Notes:Masculinity is not something that a man is born with, it is something that is poured into a man.When perseverance runs its course, you will lack nothing.In order to have perseverance, you need to have an identity.God’s design for you is that you would confidently bear His image.Every man alive will do crazy things until he answers the question inside of himself: “Do I have what it takes?”God is the only man that can restore what has been taken or lost.Responsibility gives men purpose. You probably feel purposeless if you were taught to shy away from responsibility.Jason's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayvallotton/5-day Challenge Private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bravecochallenge/ CONNECT WITH BRAVECOWebsite: https://www.braveco.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/braveco.menInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/braveco.men/Join BraveCourse: https://www.braveco.org/bravecourseShop: https://shop.braveco.org/ ABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.
