Stay Sharp Weekly

Man of God,

We admire the discipline and drive of men like Jordan, Curry, Gretzky, Musk, and Bono—not just for what they’ve achieved, but for the price they paid to get there. Their stories inspire us. Sometimes, they even make us envious.

But what about those who have discipline and drive in their pursuit of Jesus?

Who are the men in your life whose faith is laser-focused—who’ve walked with Christ for decades without losing their fire?

We don’t want to be men who just chase the world’s success stories. Let’s look to those who model what it means to follow Jesus with discipline and passion.

Who’s your “Paul”—someone who could say, “Imitate me as I imitate Christ” (1 Cor. 11:1)?

Before you buy the next celebrity success book, take one of these unsung heroes of the faith out to lunch.

Ask them, how they have stayed on fire for Christ for decades. Ask them about the daily habits and disciplines that have kept them anchored in Him.

Shoot me an email aubrey@whetstoneway.com —who comes to your mind and why?

This Week's TOP 3

1. READ: Proverbs 15

2. THINK: “As for ‘the life to come,’ (1 Timothy 4:7-8) spiritual discipline builds the enduring architecture of one’s soul on the foundation of Christ—gold, silver, and precious stones that will survive the fires of judgment and remain a monument to Christ for eternity (1 Cor. 3:10–15). Some may minimize the importance of spiritual discipline now, but no one will then!”

R. Kent Hughes - from an article entitled “An Unabashed Call To Men To Exercise Spiritual Effort”

*“But no one will then!” Come on boys! Dang, that lights me on fire!

3. ACT: Identify someone who exemplifies the kind of life you want to live as a man of God. Think less global and more local. Less Christian celebrity and more next-door neighbor. Now, reach out and schedule a time to meet with them. Ask them the following questions. Then, sit back and listen.

•How have they stayed on fire for Christ for decades?

•What are the daily habits and disciplines that have fueled their deepening relationship with the Lord?


Take courage,
