What skill do you feel is most important in developing as a successful young man? If you could choose one skill you could pursue and work on for the rest of your life, what would it be? In today's episode, we're going to cut straight to the heart. The #1 skill you need to kill it as a Successful man isn't leadership, communication, or learning how to manage money.    It's becoming like Jesus.    That's it. This is the skill you and I need to ultimately get the life we want. And yet, few of us rarely pursue it. Why is that?    On today's episode, I want to share with you about how I discovered this skill in my own life, the struggles I bump in along the way and 4 practical steps you can take today in order to get you to the place where you are not just practicing what it means to become like Jesus, but experiencing gains, too.    Show Notes: benweaver.org/003   Resources mentioned in this episode:   The Adventurous Faith Morning Guide - I used to suck at mornings. But then I found a routine that worked for me. That is what this field guide is all about. If you are looking to find a way to make your days, weeks, months and even life better start with this resource to get you the morning routine you've been looking for.    The Voice Bible Translation - This is one of my go-to's for Bible study. It reads like a screenplay or movie script and very easy to follow along with modern language that stays true to the original manuscript of the Bible.    The YouVersion Bible App - This is a one-stop shop for everything you need to get into the Bible daily. Reading plans, text alerts, several versions of the Bible and you can even have it read it to you as an audiobook.    Verses I quoted in today's episode: Colossians 2:3    

What if there was more to life than what you were living right now? What if there was a journey you could take that would take your, faith, relationships and performance in all of life to the next level….would you take it? Would you WANT to take it?   In this episode, we discuss the 3 rings of Adventurous Faith and why it is important to begin living out of the core of who you are, who Christ made you to be and where adventurous faith begins.   

• Faith
• Relationships
• Performance

  When you and I can learn to live our lives in this order, we will become unstoppable. But, we have to be willing to take the risk of letting Jesus lead us to a life bigger than our plans. There's more to this life than you thought possible. But you have to be willing to let Jesus lead you.   Show Notes: benweaver.org/002    The Adventurous Faith Start-Up Guide: Everything you need to know about pursuing this Adventurous Life Christ is Calling you to.    Relationships Are Everything: My first book. You don't have to suck at relationships any longer. You can thrive. 

Hey guys! Welcome to the very first podcast episode of Adventurous Faith. I'm thrilled you're here!

Way back before this dream became a reality I was listening to one of my favorite Podcasters, Pat Flynn, talk about how podcasting is. He said:

"Imagine if 100 people decided to download an episode of your podcast. That is 100 people that have decided to sit in a room and listen to you for 25 minutes."

I was blown away. You couple the potential for influence that Pat was talking about and spread of an important message like I believe Adventurous Faith is and you've got something that I believe can make a massive impact on the world. When I heard what Pat said in those few moments, I was sold on podcasting. A few months later, this little guy you see here was born.   In this first episode, I wanted to introduce you to the idea of Adventurous Faith and for you to hear my story. I wouldn't say my story is any more special than yours, but it's my story - unique and purposeful for the journey God has me on.   I believe every adventure begins with a person. And every person has a story. In this first episode, I wanted you to hear mine. I hope you enjoy.

Essential Ideas in the Episode you don't want to miss:

• Adventurous Faith Definition: Willing to take the risk of letting Jesus lead you to a life bigger than your plans.
• Focusing on performance won't get you the life you want to make. 
• Your Story Matters. God is weaving every piece of it together, making you into the man he wants you to become.
