Episode 2
- Yes! You are in! How are you doing with your New Year's resolutions? 1&Done? More likel NoneDone Per Greg, most people fail their resolutions by January 14th! So you are not alone. What works? Lasting change? Here you go...
- Yes, thank you again Marcus and the ThursDudes for that priceless nugget. Listener, you are trying to do all these things yet do you have the Ultimate Power Source involved? Do you know the verse Pro 19:21?
- Proverbs 19:21 says, "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails".
- Pro 16:9 says, We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.
- Pro 16:3 says, Commit your actions to the LORD, and your plans will succeed.

If you think your poop doesn't stink, that is a serious problem right there.
- For those inspired, I am reading Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer right now. Next you need a small/accountability group. To learn more about Marcus, Greg, the Dudes, Alpha, Rooted, GCrossSurf, hit us up at the contact page at FriDudes.com
- Now go, Love God, ask him what you should be doing this year, read the Bible to get your answers, all of it, not just an isolated portion to justify something (that's where people go rogue and justify evil in their minds). Next love others, that includes the ones not so lovable. I love you, go...
