Welcome back to the Equipped Man! It has been a couple of months, and I appreciate your patience! It has been a full break with holidays, birthdays, and rebuilding a shower.

This episode is about discipline and motivation. This lesson started from a talk with Sebastian about school work. Discipline is more important than motivation. Motivation comes and goes with the wind, but discipline is something that stays with you once it is developed.

Colossians 3: 23 "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters," (NIV)

God has a plan for you, for all of us.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29: 11 NIV)

What does that look like though? God will illuminate our feet at the path, but it is up to us to take the steps. Have a listen with Sebastian and I as we talk about God's plans, and what that might look or sound like.

Stay fit! Be well!

Walking this path can be difficult at times. There is stress, happiness, struggle, success. We need to have other men around us. A group of men that will teach, learn, mentor, encourage, and call each other out. I'm not saying a one time event, or a "5 Point Plan", but a tribal mindset. Men are able to keep each other accountable in ways and spaces that wives or parents aren't. So what does that look like? I know that there are groups out there, but are they genuine? Will they hold me accountable, or do they just want me conference fee and add me to their facebook group? I am looking for a mindset change. I am looking for a tribe that we can go to battle with and for each other. The watcher on the wall is sounding the alarm.

Stay fit! Be well!
