Episode 8

Today Ben and Chad risk it all by sharing from their lives.  They look at their own successes and failures as well as how healthy risk is necessary to restore manhood.  The two outline what is a healthy risk and an unhealthy risk.  They also explore what it means for the church to “circle the wagons.”  Ben leads the way in calling out complacency in men and unpacks what risk looks like for the Kingdom of God.  (35:00).  As with a lot of the episodes it gets more lively as they go ending with a rock solid challenge that we spoil at the end of the show notes.

Psalm 37:25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.

The Rich and the Kingdom of God

A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.  You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’[a]”

 “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said.

 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy.

Luke 18:18-23
