At the start of the new year, the crew gets together again to talk about resolutions...rather resignations. The idea of resolutions is pretty common, but we take the liberty to add a spin on things and talk about the idea of resignations. 

In this episode, we get a framework for crafting your very own resignations as well as hearing some of the resignations that the guys have put together themselves. 

We also get an updated report on Bob's cancer journey as well as an update on the "Crack the Barrel" challenge. 

Prompts for writing your own Resignations

What version of yourself are you still striving to become that consistently produces anxiety rather than faithfulness?

What limitation—temperamental, physical, relational, or circumstantial—have you been treating as an obstacle rather than a boundary God intends you to live and act within?

Where are you sensing responsibility that God has never clearly assigned to you?

What criticism or disappointment have you been trying to outgrow instead of accepting as part of faithful living and following Jesus?

What failure in your past are you still struggling to get over?

If you were to write one honest resignation for this year, what illusion would you be willing to release?


You might begin simply:

Resigned, that…
 So, be thankful for…

Closing Reflection

The Christian life is not about finally becoming impressive enough for God to use. It is about becoming truthful enough to stop getting in the way.
