Stay Sharp Weekly
The Stay Sharp Weekly newsletter equips Christian men to get sharp and stay sharp in every area of their lives.
Hey man of God,
A few years ago, my boys and I geeked out on the show Forged In Fire. I’m sure many of you have done the same. We loved it so much that we bought a forge, anvil, and hammers to start making our own knives. We’ve learned a lot and made some pretty cool blades (and some pretty crappy ones too), but...
Every blade begins with fire.
Without the forge, steel stays cold and shapeless. But once the flame is lit, the steel is ready to be shaped into something strong, sharp, and useful.
2026 is coming fast.
The question is — will you stumble into it cold, or step into it with fire already burning in you?
Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Men without vision drift. They dull. And so do those they lead. But men who light the forge — who invite God to ignite a new fire of clarity — enter the year sharp and ready.
This week’s challenge is simple: It’s time to light the forge.
THIS WEEK’S TOP 3
- READ: Proverbs 24
- THINK:
Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him,
Nor speak anymore in His name.”
But His word was in my heart like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding it back,
And I could not."Jeremiah 20:9
May His word and vision be in your heart like a burning fire that can't be held in.
- ACT: Take ten minutes in a quiet place. Open a journal. Ask God this question:
👉 “Lord, what are You calling me to pursue in 2026?”
Listen, then write down 2–3 hopes or desires you sense rising in you. Don’t overthink it. Just capture the sparks. These sparks are where the fire begins.
The rest of this series will shape, sharpen, and temper your vision. But none of that matters if the forge isn’t lit.
Light it now.
Stay sharp,
Aubrey
P.S. Don’t wait until January to get serious. The fire you spark now will carry you through the holidays and into 2026 already burning with focus.
If you’re fire is already burning and you’re ready to put some work into shaping a compelling vision for your 2026, you need to jump into a 90-minute sharpening session with me.
Every man I’ve taken through this has been blown away by the breakthrough!
The content is strong and effective, but the best part is watching God show up and set the whole thing on fire!
