Retired Army Lt Col, author and West Point Professor, Dave Grossman said, “If you have no capacity for violence then you are a healthy productive citizen: a sheep. If you have capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath — a wolf. But what if you have capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizen? Then you are a sheep dog, a warrior, someone who is walking the hero’s path.” Think about your skills as a warrior. How would you describe your tendencies in the Soul, Body, and Spirit domains using Grossman’s three tendencies? This week Mike and Jim discuss how Jesus lived the perfect life as a warrior — a true sheep dog in every way. Figure out how you can start walking the heroes path just like Jesus.

In Matthew 20:25-28, Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

His command is simple. What is it that get’s in the way of being a servant the way Jesus was? This week Mike and Jim discuss how the Devil uses shame to prevent us from serving like Jesus did. Tune in to hear about biblical principles of service for the Kingdom and practical examples of how to apply those principles.

How do you define your identity? How do you define your purpose? Maybe you see yourself in the most important relationships in your life. You’re a Husband, a Father, a Friend. Maybe your purpose is wrapped up in your job or your hobbies. What are your current goals or strategies to accomplish your purpose. Are they righteous, pure, authentic…do they make the world a better place or are they self absorbed? These are the questions we men struggle with. Who am I, and Why am I here? This week Mike and Jim discuss who God says you are and what His Word (the Bible) says about why you are here. They walk through, in great detail, the foundational truths analyzed in the Junto Tribe Purpose Statement Exercise to help every man find purpose.
