Coffee and the Cross: Love, Life & Money
Thanks for checking us out. This show is about wow we as christians are to live life. Scriptures tells us that our number one thing we are supposed to do is to first Love God with all our hearts and all our minds and all our souls. Then we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves. I mean come on that was over 2000 years ago, what does that look like today? In this show, we are going to tackle some of the difficult topics for us today. Including Loving others, Living our lives dedicated to God.... and that includes our finances and our possessions. Thanks for doing us and I pray that in some small way you are blessed today. ~ Steve

Coffee and the Cross: Love, Life & Money
Authentic Manhood | Book 2 CH 4 | Healing
Think about it. We are all broken and need some kind of healing. But we can't do it alone. We are made for community. Think about it... Jesus took 12 men with him on his journey. Why do we try to go it alone. We need to find our community.
Start with a mentor: If you don't have a mentor FIND ONE, here's how:
- Identify someone you respect and ask them
- Set realistic expectations. They may say no for a ton of reasons that have nothing to do with you and that's OK
- Remember, he is a mentor, not your dad. Don't expect him to fill that void in your life
- Develop a plan for your meetings: How often, How will the be structured?
- Do some activities together: hunting, fishing, camping, golfing
Pray for God to send you some teammates into your life
Spend quality time together and seek to go deeper conversationally. Avoid the surface level conversations.
Learn to ask meaningful questions....

In high school, my mom used to listen to a 10 minute devotional before the bus came. If we heard Robert Cook saying, "Walk with the king today and be a blessing." we knew we were running late.
