What do I need, a question we don’t often ask ourselves, why? Brad Larson opens up this conversation. And one of the biggest needs is VERBALIZING these specifics things to another brother. It’s a swift challenge for us grow as leaders. To be a man we need to know what we need. Even more to be a POWERFUL man we need to understand that God knows what we need even before we ask, Matthew 6:8... so, we start by asking Him. 

We are living in the most excuse driven society in history. We have people of all ages and backgrounds looking for someone else to blame when things go wrong. Aeneas Williams, Hall of Fame Pro Football, gets raw. In this episode he helps us understand that if we are going to rise as men, if we are going to grow, if we are going to walk in our God given manhood there’s something we must do. That question is answered in this episode.

Jocko, Mylett, Goggins, Grover, or any other "mentally tough" guru you want to mention holds no candle to the most mentally tough man to ever live, King Jesus. They are mere shells to the one who invented mental toughness, the growth mindset, and the one who gave/gives His life for us. But, there's a reason He was able to do what he did. It wasn't mantra's, a solid morning routine as those are bi-products of a strong mind, even necessary... it was something else. And "that'' something else we can do everyday if we want to follow His example. We want to be mentally tough, we want to be strong as men, but we have to have the mindset of the Master, we must do what He did in order to live as he did. We can do this, but it only comes one way. We will discuss this in this episode.

In this episode Brad Larson is challenging us to rise, to find brotherhood, and surrender at the feet of Jesus. Brad also starts off the night with men writing their eulogy. As they stand over your grave what will they say? "He worked really hard and succeeded in business" "He made a lot of money and provided a good life for us" OR Will they say "he was present, he was a fighter, he fought for his family" and "He fought for us, and was surrendered to the King." It's time to disrupt our destructive patterns, re-write our story so when they do stand over our grave they'll say "He was like Him."

We need these 6 men, the Sage (Samuel), Spotter (Beniah), Student (Solomon), Sacrifice (Mephibesheth), Safe Place (Jonathan), and Supervisor (Nathan). King David had these 6 MEN in his life and we need them too. Preston Morrison, Pastor of Gateway Church in Scottsdale AZ, lays out who they are so we can identify them for ourselves. So get your pin out and get ready to write. To be mentally tough, and to have the mentality of the Master it's crucial we invite these men into our inner circle. If Jesus, the most mentally tough man to ever live, needed 12 men around him we will need other men around us as well. Get ready to launch yourself into the toughest you by having this unit looking after your 6. Clear? Clear!
