Why Am I?
#012. For the final part of our series on freedom, we’re answering the question, “Why am I?” Freedom is one of the three pillars of Tribesmen, and we can’t have freedom if we don’t understand our purpose.
When we talk about freedom, we’re talking about fighting for each other to overcome challenges. But the things we fight for, and the way we fight for them, are crucial to actually obtaining freedom.
For most men, figuring out the places in our lives where we aren’t free yet, usually comes down to 1 of 2 areas. The second of those is purpose, the question of why am I?
Men without a purpose tend to become rudderless. And a man without purpose can be really dangerous. He still has to find something to orient himself around, and that typically becomes either violence or pleasure, or both. This pretty well describes the extended adolescence of many males in our culture.
In a Tribe, we find the answer to “Why am I?” together. It requires us to do two things: Get Naked, and listen to Jesus. If men know my story, they can help identify the themes in it that perhaps point to the larger threads that I’m built around. They can also help me see what’s holding me back from living into those things.
And when we listen to Jesus, he helps me find the freedom I need to step fully into the purpose he’s created me for. He made me. He knows best what I should be about. I just need to ask him.
Call to Action!
