Fri // Steel :: Integrity
Title: Face It I will not deny my integrity. – Job 27:5b What’s integrity? If you ever went to Sunday school as a kid, you’ve probably heard about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

Wednesday// Grit:: Influence
Title-The influence of actions Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. – 1 Corinthians 11:1 One of my favorite movies is Gladiator.

Tue // Fuel :: Prayer

Fri // Steel :: Passion
Title: Give it All Love the LORD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. – Deut. 6:5 Even though the verse seems like a straightforward commandment, it tells me a couple of things. I see the word “all” before heart, soul, and strength, and it jumps off the […]
Thu // Warrior :: Courage
Title: A fallen brother Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. – Ephesians 6:10 We all want to be on the frontlines in the battle for souls.
