When the time is right, a man must leave his father and mother to find his True Father and Mother in God's heart. The post 159: The Metanarrative of Masculine Love (Part 2) appeared first on Become Good Soil.

I came from the Father. Now I come home to the Father. – Jesus of Nazareth Friends, We come from the Trinity.  We will return to the Trinity.  So what is in the way of our homecoming?  Perhaps better said, where do we find ourselves along the journey of home-going? The mission and message of Become Good Soil reach thousands globally, nourishing men from 18 to 83. Men of different ages and at different stages of masculine initiation. At first glance, the diversity of our stories is outstanding.  But there is a universal ache informing and uniting us all: We hunger and thirst for the love, validation, and intentionality of a man who is stronger than us.  In a phrase, we hunger and thirst for God himself.  Brothers, we do not hunger and thirst for this wild and generous Father in vain. We find him, realize him, feast on him, and, from this nourished place, carry him with us into the dearest relationships of our daily lives.  The Father is undefeated. His love is winning.  His goodness is prevailing.  His intentional and scandalous validation of us is immeasurable.  And he is just getting started.  Let's pick up the next first track of our masculine initiation and be visited again by this ancient truth:  It all starts with the Father.  For the Kingdom, Morgan

What story are we inviting our kids into? The post 148: DadAwesome, with Jeff Zaugg (Part 2) appeared first on Become Good Soil.

Then our sons in their youth     will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars     carved to adorn a palace. – Psalm 144:12 NIV Friends, The Psalms were penned by regular men walking through the real and raw depths of the human experience. With body and soul, animated by the life of God, these brave authors invite us into a God-permeated vision of Reality more visceral and personal than our often emotionally reserved contexts reflect.     In Psalm 144, the psalmist vividly depicts the robust well-being of future generations as they stand on the shoulders of men and women seeking and interacting with the Living God.  What depth and breadth of life in God would prepare the way for our children and grandchildren to experience this quality of soul-flourishing?  “What story are we inviting our kids into? Is the story they are watching us live big enough to contain all the hopes, dreams, disappointments, and fears? Is the story that our lives tell filled with life and promise? Or do our lives tell a small story, a religious story, a limp and narrow story that is painfully less appealing than the competing narratives they're also being offered? Sports achievement, mind-altering substances, unrestricted sexual expression, a girlfriend or boyfriend, and followers on social media—these are powerful stories. If I've learned anything, it is this: our kids' hearts will gravitate toward the biggest, best, and most life-filled story they can find. If we don't model a Christianity brimming with life, it simply won't be attractive enough to captivate their hearts. So our first mission must be to come home ourselves to a Gospel and a God so vibrant with life that we can't help but model the joy and vitality of what we have discovered. And then we must find ways to give our kids direct access to the Kingdom of our Father for themselves in order to cultivate their own faith journey.”* Join me and longstanding Become Good Soil like-hearted apprentice Jeff Zaugg for Part 2 of this conversation as we recover another ancient stone in the narrow road that leads to life.

Discipleship to Jesus is the greatest opportunity individual human beings have in life and the only hope corporate mankind has at solving its insurmountable problems. – Dallas Willard What is discipleship?  What is salvation? And what relevance do these sometimes abstract concepts have for sharpening our ordinary, everyday lives?  What if salvation is both an individual and communal process that is daringly lived out across the days and decades of our relational lives? Friends, it is my joy to welcome my very favorite guest onto the Become Good Soil podcast to explore these waters with me: Cherie Snyder. She is my bride, my best friend, and the inexhaustibly loving mother of our kids. In this episode, she offers what she has lived and who she has become through 25 years of discipleship to Jesus. You don't want to miss this.  For the Kingdom, Morgan

Thirty local Fires have been launched, and more are being lit. They all start with one man and one match. The post 137: Fires, Part 2 appeared first on Become Good Soil.

"Tell me your story" is the most revolutionary phrase you can ever say to a man. – John EldredgeFriends, The revolution ignited by Wild at Heart and Become Good Soil is well under way. Though hidden from many, it is irrevocably life-changing for the men who have risked their lives to enter in. Bryan Byrd of Wild Courage and Jay Heck of Being Sons are two of our Kingdom allies at the fore of Wild at Heart Fires, taking new ground in this revolution by inviting men into the ancient practice of story-telling and question-asking around an open flame. We believe hearing authentic stories from the front lines of this movement will spur you to join us. After 70 years of apprenticeship to Jesus, Tim Keller said, “What worked for our generation to proclaim and live out the Gospel will not work for yours. I don't know what will. My time is coming to a close. You will have to figure that out for your generation.” Brothers, I believe Wild at Heart Fires offer a fresh dimension of Heaven's provision for Kingdom-living in our generation. These come-as-you-are spaces welcome all men to risk, love, listen, ask, share, and get their hearts back. They offer a context for the authentic masculine community essential for our hearts to thrive. As we launch this episode, we know of almost 30 Fires under way. God willing, there will be 300 this time next year, with more to follow. Imagine a day when every man in the world is within driving distance of a monthly Fire shared with like-hearted men. Join us. Come along and dream about starting a Fire in your community. Put the word out. Invite a few others who are interested in recovering the ancient path. Then light the flame. Low bar, good risk. Masculinity restored. For the Kingdom, Morgan You can find out more at https://www.wildatheart.org/fires
