Romans 12two Men’s Ministry Creative Director, Nicholas Linzenmeyer joins, Vice President, Isaac Cormier, and President & Executive Director Rev. Christopher Leschber as they discuss the biblical foundations for the culture that Romans12two has created and facilitated by the Holy Spirit, nicknamed P.O.P.S Culture specifically focused on the P. for “Plank” from Jesus’s teaching recorded in The Gospel of Matthew 7:3-5.
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
Listen to how this has informed their approach in the healing and restoration ministry, they’ve been called to.
Romans 12two Men’s Ministry Vision is healing families and society, through transforming the minds of men into the one mind of Christ through discipleship, within a community of warriors for the kingdom of heaven.
Nicholas, Isaac & Christopher have invited you into their most intimate personal thoughts, their own journals, so that you can see in detail the plank in their own eyes. And how they are working to remove it enough to help with the speck, perhaps in your eye.
R12two’s intentional and intense, raw, authentic, GBUB (good/bad/ugly/beautiful), vulnerable, compassionate, Jesus centered culture is personified by the acronym POPS.
P.O.P.S. Culture
Plank: (Matthew 7:3-5 Core Values verses) R12two men speak, teach, lead through personal testimony first and foremost.
Obedience: (2 Corth 10:3-6 core value verses) R12two men are in the process of becoming warriors for the kingdom of Heaven by focusing once again on the plank in their own eye and the thought processes that led to the development of said plank. In other words, “As a man thinks, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7 and as Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Matthew 12:34
Proactive: (R12:1-2 Core Values Verses) R12two men are in a process of becoming our truest selves, and our most spiritually mature selves are personified by our progression towards proactiveness. By displaying the fruits of the Spirit which are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Self control in its ripest stages have the effervescence of PEACE and HOLY VIOLENCE. This deep well of inner peace refreshes any and all who will drink of its Living water within. And the enemies of God will experience a righteous anger that also comes from the deep places within a mature follower of Christ who because of the Perfect Love therein moves towards the money changers with a whip in hand to drive them out all the while maintaining PEACE and self control.
SWORD Eph 6:10-18 Core Values verses emphasis on taking up the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, specifically scripture memorization into the emotional brain so that when we go “limbic” it is a fresh water flowing out of the abundance of our hearts truly transformed into the image of Christ; 2 Tim 2:3-4; Heb 4:12
SWORD point to every thought to make them obedient to Christ.
