Into The Wilderness Podcast with Timothy Reigle

Jerry Adams and I have teamed up to bring you the brand new book available October 19th, Men of Grit - Into The Wilderness: A 40 Day Challenge To Renew Your Faith, Restore Your Masculinity, and Re-Energize Your Family. This book is a call to action for Christian men.  It is a challenge to reject the comfort, complacency, and weakness that has overtaken many men in the church today.  We challenge men to rise up, don the full armor of God, and engage in the fight for His kingdom.  These 40 days will force men to face themselves, push them out of their comfort zone, and, using Biblical principles, guide them to become Godly “Men of Grit.”  It's designed to help men develop a closer, more intimate relationship with Jesus and learn the Biblical roles of men as husbands, fathers, and leaders in their churches and communities.  Our goal is for all Christian men to live out the commandments expressed in 1 Corinthians 16:12-13: “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”Jerry and I will be releasing a series of eight additional podcasts where we take a deep dive into the “Principles of a Man of Grit,” the defining characteristics of what defines a strong man of God.  Today, we discuss our individual journeys from lives of weakness and complacency to lives of strength and leadership and the amazing work God has done in our lives.  We share the story of how this book came about, why Christian men need to be strong, and how this book will build strong Godly men, husbands, fathers, and leaders.  Lastly, we explain how the 40-day challenge works and briefly describe the eight Principles of a Man of Grit.  Find out more about Men of Grit - Into The Wilderness and pre-order your signed copy at https://menofgrit.com/product/men-of-grit-into-the-wilderness/Visit Jerry's Website here : https://menofgrit.com/Follow Jerry on Twitter: @Men_of_GritFollow Jerry on Instagram: @men_of_grit------------------------------------------------For more information on Into The Wilderness Ministries and Timothy Reigle, visit our website at: www.intothewildernessblog.comEmail Timothy at: timothy@intothewildernessblog.comFollow Timothy on social media:X: @TimothyReigleInstagram: @timothyreigleSign Up for my newsletter and receive my FREE E-Book, Power Over Porn, when you click HERE.My book, Living Porn Free: 10 Steps To Recovery, Redemption, and Renewal is available on Amazon HERE.If you're interested in working with Timothy One-on-One, you can schedule a FREE coaching consultation HERE.
