Misaligned, misguided identity is one of the greatest tripwires to our crucible experiences. Placing our worth in other people’s perceptions of us – based not on our true inner selves – is a recipe for struggle and setback.   This week, we talk with former NFL quarterback Jeff Kemp, author of the new book, Receive: The Way of Jesus for Men. He stresses the necessity for men to build deep and meaningful friendships with each other in which they share the most intimate and important details of their lives. Because in doing so they will be all that God created them to be … in the areas that truly matter.   And Kemp doesn’t sugarcoat how challenging forging such relationships can be. You’ll be floored when he talks about just how high the percentage is of men who don’t have a close and trusted friend they can share anything with on any topic. The insights he shares here are aimed at lowering that number considerably.   To learn more about Jeff Kemp and to download his free Level-5 Friendship Playbook, visit www.jeffkempteam.com/men-huddle/   To explore Beyond the Crucible assets, including our free Life of Significance assessment, visit www.beyondthecrucible.com   Have a question or comment?
