Saturday // Build :: Authentic

Title: Thoughts and words aligned

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up. – Ephesians 4:29a

Unwholesome talk and authenticity usually go hand in hand. “I’m just saying what I feel” is the excuse we make to use words as battering rams against others.

But authenticity and unwholesome talk don’t have to be kindred spirits. God can work in our hearts to shape our thoughts and words so that we can clearly express who we are, what we think, and how we feel without tearing another person down.

What work is God asking you to do in your heart? How are you at being authentic without compromising wholesome talk

Real Men are Authentic with their Words.

Milo and his family currently live in North Carolina, where he is a staff Chaplain for MAG-14 at Cherry Point, NC. As a staff chaplain, he is responsible for the spiritual well-being of over 1200 marines and their families. He does this by participating in training events, deploying with the squadrons he covers, providing a constant presence of support and working with the command in facilitating general care and response in the face of family/unit emergencies.

Milo and Bethany have been in full-time ministry since 1999, and have enjoyed a wide variety of experiences and opportunities. In 2003, God brought Andrew into their lives, and in 2005 Olivia was the fourth addition to the family. Milo has stated repeatedly that God’s greatest tool in shaping his theology, philosophy of life and walk with Christ has been his family. Woodworking, riding his motorcycle, movies, camping, and time with his family are some of his favorite things to enjoy.
