To all the men of Radical manhood, know that you have within you the power to be relentless, resilient, and reflexive. These qualities are not just important in our personal lives, but they also play a crucial role in our spiritual growth and relationship with God.
Resiliency is the ability to bounce back from setbacks and adversity, and as men, we must learn to embrace our failures and use them as opportunities to learn and grow. Our faith makes us resilient because we can endure difficult situations knowing we are not alone and that God is working them together for our good. As Romans 8:28 reminds us, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
In addition to being resilient, we must also be relentless in our pursuit of greatness. With God's strength and guidance, we can achieve anything we set our minds to, no matter how difficult the road may be. As Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."
To truly embody these qualities, we must also be reflexive in our thoughts and actions. We must be willing to challenge our limiting beliefs and replace them with biblical beliefs that align with God's plan for our lives. As Psalm 139:23-24 says, "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
As we journey through this duality of life, we must remember that hard times reveal the quality of our faith in the Lord. We can choose to be like waves in the ocean, easily tossed and blown away, or we can choose to be rooted in God in our faith. As Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
So, men of Radical manhood, embrace the challenges of life, for they will help you grow in resilience. Be relentless in your pursuit of greatness, and always be reflexive in your thoughts and actions. Remember that with God's strength and guidance, you can achieve anything you set your minds to.
