Remember

Remember... Never forget that your life is a story. And never forget that Christ renews our strength that we might offer it back to the world. Even though it's only been a couple of short weeks since Bootcamp, we've already been hearing stories from men who have had their hearts set free and aflame. Stories of bold new steps, restored relationships, and fierce opposition. We're always excited to hear these things - it continues to be a moment full of "Check it out! It really works!" But this only goes to show that nothing will kill this fire faster than feeling alone. So we encourage you, each of you, to share your stories. Both the victories and the struggles...particularly the struggles...with other men who understand this journey you've embarked upon. The best place to do that is a Band of Brothers, the intimate allies that God may have surrounded you with. But another great place is our website. When we share our stories with other men we whisper hope into their lives as well as shining the light of openness and transparency on our own lives. That said - we also caution you against sharing too much with people who may not understand what this is about. Not to hide from these folks, we've got nothing to fear, but we also need to guard our hearts and be wise about who we make ourselves vulnerable to. Tell your story. Share your hearts for those who come behind and those who come along side. Remember.
