Are you thinking about your group in terms of take-off, flight, and landing? These are key to intentionality and getting the most out of a group. Group Tips: Takeoff phase: Share story first to set the tone of honesty, safety, and vulnerability. Survey the group. See below for John’s survey. Choose a service commitment and schedule it once a month or once a quarter. If possible, do it at the time you meet. Flight phase: Use the survey to help map out and plan the calendar for the year. Be prepared to be flexible and have “one off” study options ready. Links below. If you didn’t do a temperament study in the beginning, do it. Link to study below. Be willing to have tough conversations. Have guys meet one on one to work things out. Delegate responsibilities to other guys based on their wiring. Land the plane: Lay out options for each guy. Some guys need to lead some need to just be in another group for now. Schedule the end, create a time period for expectations and so that guys can get ready for their next group. Bonus tip: Avoid stale prayer. One way to mix it up is to create prayer partners.

Show notes: “Hearing from God” may not be as kooky as we imagine. The most important thing, according to Jesus, is to love God and to love others as yourself, which is relational. The most important thing to Jesus is totally and completely relationship focussed. It was a gift from God to allow Larry to do life without Him, so that now it is so clear that I desperately need him. God already holds every answer to the easiest and most difficult questions we could ever ask him, but will we let him be God to us and answer every question we have. How do we start to listen and hear: We can start by looking at all of the different ways he speaks in scripture. It is a gift that we can start with his written word. Ask God to bring revelation of truth as we read scripture. It’s as easy as saying, “Holy Spirit I am dependent upon you to reveal the truth of what I am reading.” He speaks through our thoughtlife,which is in our own “voice.” If we are praying and listening, we should pay close attention to the next thoughts that come to our mind. A list of some questions to ask God are: Lord, what do you want me to know in my life right now? Lord, you know my greatest challenge in life right now, what do you want me to know about it right now? Lord, what does it mean that I am your adopted son? Lord, wIll you show you how you love me? Lord, what do you think of me? Lord, what do you like about the way you created me? Lord, what do you want most for me? Lord, why do I matter to you? Lord, do I have what it takes to be a man after your own heart? Lord, who have you made me to be as a man of God? ...as a husband? ...as a father? God is with you and wants to be with you. Even if we are discouraged about all of this and are worried about where to start, we can ask God. Also, use your own style. Some guys need to take a question for God and go for a hike or do the thing that helps you connect. Finally, from Larry: you can do this. Ask God for help. Stick with it. And, you have no idea how alive you can be and will become. For more of Larry and his ministry go to www.cloudwalkministries.org and www.soulybusiness.com where you will find info and links to incredible retreats and groups for men and women. Larry is reading through the Bible in a year with his wife (on audio). He would tell his 20 year old self that God is alive and he really is your father. And, if given $100 to spend frivolously he would… ask God what to do! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Larry Green is a part of an incredible ministry called Cloudwalk Cloudwalk does retreats and hosts groups for men and women who want to connect with their Heavenly Father and who He made them to be. We have reasons to be hesitant about hearing from God: maybe he won’t speak, maybe what I hear will be terrible, etc. Most men really want to know who God has made them to be as a man, husband, father, etc. ...and the only way to truly discover that is from the one who made us, God. Story: Larry became a Christian at 14 years old, but didn’t understand grace. He thought it was about being “good enough” and so believed on a deep level that he wasn’t worth loving. As a man, pursued the American Dream and all that corporate America had to offer - exhaustion, bad marriage, and disconnected kids. In 2002, got invited to go on a silent retreat, with no desire to go be alone for 4 days with God… but, God showed up and spoke through his own thoughtlife to tell him how much he loved him. It was overwhelming and a start to a whole new way of life. Left that retreat with no doubt about His love and the fact that God speaks to his children. Began a life of being on fire for a relational connection with God. When you are really hearing from God, love is always at the center. When you are “experiencing” Jesus and his love, then you back to scripture, you will see and read what you are experiencing. For example… as you start to receive his love - as scripture says - the fear inside of you is cast out. Hearing from God is much more simple than we make it. The wisdom God reveals is so much better than wisdom from any. An intimate relationship with God will always involve hearing from him. Feel free to weigh what you are hearing from God with scripture. This increases your faith and trust in hearing. It starts with the desire to get to know God - the father, the son, the holy spirit. The starting place, for Larry, was beginning to pursue a relationship - through spending time and prayer. You were made to be in a unique relationship with the father, son, and the holy spirit and it looks very different than the way it looks for others. He knows how to guide us in this if we’ll just say, “we want this, but we don’t know how.” See Part 2 for the practical steps of what to do on your own and in your group.

Description As Men, we all feel confusion and insecurity around spiritual leadership in the home and disappointment because we’re not the leaders we want to be. In this episode, Lee and Robby conclude a two-part conversation on the topic of spiritual leadership, giving clarity to what our God-given role is and practical ideas on how we can own this responsibility and bring new life to our families. Main Ideas You can’t fake your way to leading spiritually in your home. Being head of the household means loving your wife and sacrificing for her. Loving your wife means meeting her needs like you do for yourself. We naturally love and care for ourselves well; we are appointed to love our wives first. Let God love you and meet your needs so you can do likewise for your family. Blessings happen when you align with God’s design. Discussion Questions What would most people say is the meaning of spiritual leadership? What do you think about this structure of leadership in the home? What does it look like and feel like to you? Which one of the four questions about delegating vs. owning responsibility do you want to grow in? Do you blame other people for problems in your home? Do you allow your wife to take the blame for problems in your home? How are you distancing yourself from those family problems? Does your wife think you listen well? How can you love your wife better? How can you meet your wife’s needs better? What does this mean for me personally? What are you going to do about it (what step of faith is God inviting me to take)? How can we help? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone has expectations for what they want out of a group. Not talking about these expectations can lead to frustration and confusion. In this episode, Lee and Robby start the conversation and give us one key question every group should ask. Main Ideas Loneliness is a problem in our culture. Changes in communication, pace of life, and urbanization are a few of the many causes. We can’t fully experience God’s love apart from relationships. Being known by a few takes intentionality; we rarely “drift” into deep, authentic community. Not every guy is looking for the same relational depth from a men’s group. We can create mutual understanding by having a group conversation about each member’s relational expectations. Discussion Questions What was a lonely season in your life? What was a season when you felt a strong sense of belonging? What factors contributed to each? Think through the following questions as a “community self-assessment”: If you’re in a crisis, who do you call at 2:00 in the morning? Who do you ask to pray for you? Who do you call to celebrate a victory in an area of your life? 3. Share your answers to the questions Robby and Lee asked with your group: What do I (currently) need relationally? What am I going to do about it? How can the group help? 4. If there are strong different expectations between group members what do you want to do about it? …gravitate toward one? …split the group? Let’s go there. What does this mean (for me personally)? What am I going to do about it? (What step of faith is God inviting me to take?) How can we help?

DESCRIPTION Words like “racial reconciliation” and “racial sensitivity” bring feelings and thoughts, and most of us are not doing a deep dive into the conversation… but we can and it’s not that hard. In this podcast, Robby and Lee continue their interview with Tyreke Wesley about the subtleties of racism, how we can personally reflect on our own experiences and perspectives toengage in conversations leading towards unity. Main Ideas There is a difference between equality and equity that matters in this conversation. Guilt and shame don’t help us move the conversation forward. It’s true that none of us were the people who established these structures that are negatively impacting people, but do we want to be the people who affect changes to them. Non-racist is not the same as anti-racist. Acknowledge that even though we grew up in the same country, we may not have the same experience with regard to race or culture. If we say we love Jesus, but don’t stand-up for people who have been mistreated or marginalized then we discredit the Gospel. They will know we are his (Jesus’) disciples by our love for one another. 3 postures to take when entering into a sensitive conversation like this: Don’t take it too personally. Seek to understand before trying to make a point. Be honest about where you are at and reserve the possibility that you might be wrong. Discussion Questions What is your own story with regard to race and relationships with people different than you racially or culturally? Be as honest and real as possible knowing you won’t be judged or “fixed” by the men in your group. Why is it hard for you to talk about this topic? What does love require of you with regard to becoming more anti-racist? Additional questions: Is it ok to just “see no color” or see everyone as the same? Are you comfortable avoiding the conversation and being “non-racist” or are you interested in being anti-racist and what does that look like for you? Are there any beliefs from your story that you may need to change your thinking on? What would keep you from watching a documentary or reading a book to go deeper on this subject? Below are some suggested resources. What does this mean (for me personally)? What am I going to do about it (what step of faith is God inviting me to take)? How can we help? Resources Here are three resources that Tyreke recommends for learning and growing: 13th– Documentary about mass incarceration America’s original sin– book by Jim Wallis Teaching Hard HistoryAmerican Slavery podcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Words like “racial reconciliation” and “racial sensitivity” bring feelings and thoughts, but most of us are not doing a deep dive into the conversation… but we can and it’s not that hard. In this podcast, Robby and Lee interview Tyreke Wesley about the subtleties of racism, how we can personally reflect on our own experiences and shift perspectives leading towards unity. Main Ideas The past narratives of racism in our culture and in our personal lives still impact today’s culture. Racism isn’t just overt and aggressive; it can also be a passive perspective of unexamined beliefs. Our personal past experiences impact our beliefs more than we normally acknowledge but we need to talk about them and acknowledge the real. Conversations about race with men we trust will help us grow in our understanding and ability to love others well. Discussion Questions How does knowing another person’s story affect the conversation? If you have ever experienced a change of heart toward someone after hearing their story, share. What is your story with regard to race and relationships with people different than you racially or culturally? Be as honest and real as possible knowing you won’t be judged or “fixed” by the men in your group. Are there any beliefs from your story that you may need to change your thinking on? Martin Luther King Jr. said, “People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other.” What fears do you have when you consider this topic? What would keep you from watching a documentary or reading a book to go deeper on this subject? There are some suggestion in Part 2. What does this mean (for me personally)?

Listening to a podcast can be confusing and leave you with questions without a way to ask them. On this episode Robby and Lee sit down to answer questions that listeners have sent in on everything from how not to “fix” a friend to “what is your thought on older divorced men having premarital sex?” Discussion Questions: What is something that youneed to trust God more with? When was the last time you had someone in your life who really knew you? Is there currently someone in your life who knows your last 10%? What can you do now to take as step towards a relationship of being fully known? How are you doing on “not fixing” the people who you are in close relationship with? Can we, as a group, call each other out on this? Do you have a guy a season ahead and behind you? Do you have a community of men in similar a similar season who you are doing life with?

Money is one of the most difficult topics to talk about in church and with our groups, yet it’s a popular subject throughout the Bible. Clearly, God has thoughts on how we should view money, but how do we align our view with his? In this podcast, Robby and Lee interview Stephen Newland about how to have a healthy relationship with money that leads to freedom instead of shame and fear. Main Ideas Society tells us that money is a measuring stick of our worth. It’s common to have fear and shame around money. Contentment is the opposite of society’s measuring stick. We all have a relationship with money—either as a spender or a saver. Money provides a false sense of security; trust your heavenly Father instead of money for your security and future. Discussion Questions What would you do if you received an extra paycheck this month? How did your parents handle money? Do you notice any of those habits in your own life? Share with your group of guys your "money story." Talk about how money impacted your life and how you felt about money. Give some words to describe what you want your relationship with money to look like. How can trusting God with your money help you take a step toward that kind of relationship?

What comes to mind when you hear the words “Bible study” . . . Boring? Intimidating?Confusing?Studying the Bible doesn’t have to be complicated or stressful. In this podcast, Lee and Robbie share a simple, four-step plan for studying the Bible that you can use on your own and with your group to align yourselves with truth and live as fully alive men. Main Ideas Most guys know we should read our Bibles; we just don’t know the best way. Spiritual maturity is not directly related to how many times you’ve read the Bible and prayed this week. A simple four-step plan for studying the Bible is: PRAY, READ, THINK, APPLY. PRAY – “Lord, teach me.” READ the passage aloud as a group. THINK about what stood out to you in this passage and what the context was. APPLY what you read by asking yourself, “What am I going to do about this?” Discussion Questions What was your favorite bible story growing up? Why do you think that one stands out?Let’s be honest. What are some of the hurdles you have to reading scripture more? Have you ever read anything in the Bible that challenged an aspect of your beliefs or actions? What is your plan for tackling a book of the bible (or topic) on your own or with your group? The Big Three What does this mean for me personally? What am I going to do about it?

Each of us has a unique opportunity to lead, create excellence, and make a difference right where we are. But at some point along the way we all have shrunk back from our opportunity because we’ve believed the lie that you have to be in charge to be a leader. Author and leader Clay Scroggins joins the podcast to share from his fantastic book two behaviors that all of us can get better at to grow our influence and make a difference in the lives of others. Podcast Summary The idea of leadership that you have to be in charge to be a leader is a false belief Leadership is influence – you can have influence without "authority" or a title Lead yourself - because the better you lead yourself the better will be able to lead others. Choose positivity – because how you see your world shapes your world - not rainbows and butterflies, but looking for the good option or positive spin. Discussion Questions Briefly describe an early memory of wanting to lead or feeling stuck because you didn't have the authority to make decisions. Have you believed that authority and leadership must be connected? Give an example. What’s an area of life where you would like to lead better? What does it look like for you to lead yourself well? Would you consider yourself a “glass half full” or “glass half empty” kind of person? What does it look like for you to “choose positivity” in your spheres of influence at work and home?

Culture is pulling us one way, but is that the right way? Does it matter? We sat down for a conversation with Tim Baker about how he learned to discern what really matters most, which wasn’t what culture had taught him. Listen to the questions he asked himself and then form your own to talk about with the men in your life. Podcast Summary Define success by what matters most to you, not culture. Pay attention to the effect you are having on those around you. Ask others around you if they see your priorities aligning with what is important to you, then take a position and own it! Culture will not take care of the people you love, the money you’ve earned, or the future you want. Discussion Questions What are some of the cultural norms that have influenced the major decisions in your life? What are some of the current cultural norms that seem crazy to you at this stage of your life? What should we be questioning that may seem “normal”? Which ones conflict and which ones align with the goals you have for yourself? Do the men in your life have permission to reflect back aspects of your life that seem out of alignment?

We all joined or started a small group with the hope of growing our faith and making friendships, right? So, what is the plan to intentionally pursue those goals? In this podcast we will be discussing three ways to build intentionality into our groups to best utilize our time together to grow.

Imagine how much better this world would be if men identified more with who the are, as sons of the living God, than what they do… and how we need each other to live life this way. Our hope is that this podcast will encourage you and your group and that you can have conversations around this idea asking each other the 3 questions: What does this mean for me personally? What am I going to do about it? (What is a faith step I can take?) How can we (the group) help? Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

We all do things things in life that make us feel fully alive… temporarily. But, what does it really mean to live life as a fully alive man? A fully alive man is one who is rooted in Jesus, fully known by a few, and engaged in his unique calling. In this episode we talk about how those 3 things lead to being fully alive. We will spend more time on the ideas of being “rooted, known, and engaged” in the next few podcasts. Our hope is that this podcast will encourage you and your group and that you can have conversations around this idea asking each other the 3 questions: What does this mean for me personally?
