In the last 2 days I have had some opportunities to pray for people… and it truly does happen all the time in my world… these are non christians, non religious and typically not open to the gospel…
Now this happens all the time… really. I have friends like me who would tell you the same thing. Luke, Mike, Pete and many more… but when Christians talk to me about this they always make it sound like I am either blessed with a supernatural gift or I have the greatest spiritual luck in the world… Let me let you in on a secret…
The truth is, I am always looking for a crack in the conversation… a need, a hurt, a question, just about anything that I can calmly ask them if I can pray for that situation… now more times than not, they don’t realize I mean right then and there…
I think I first learned this from Pastor Tom Flahrety back in 1990… Now I have never been afraid to share Jesus, but I lacked the suave smooth calm style. So Tom and I played racquet ball at the Y. One day he comes to get me Im in the weight room (surprise surprise) and two guys are in there working out… I have never seen them but I can tell they are out of towners and so can Tom. He chit chats about where they are from… they are both just out of college and taking the summer to travel to figure out what they want to do… Tom listens and says well hey, let me pray and ask God to help show you what you should be doing… they both looked a little questioning but were like uh…. Ok sure. Tom prays a short prayer and then says You know I do know one thing God has for you… and he leads into a simple short gospel asks them to pray with him. It was so simple, so easy , so relaxed and so comfortable for all of us… I thought… thats it. Look for a need and pray for them and then share the gospel….
Jesus cared for people and then shared the gospel.
1 Thess. 5:17 Praying with out ceasing… I think that applies to many things, but definitely in areas like this. Be ready to pray for anyone, anytime, anywhere for anything…
I have had some odd conversations and prayed for some interesting things… one guy wanted to get a girl in bed so badly… so I asked him if I could pray for that. He agreed wholeheartedly- So I prayed God I pray you would show this young man your perfect will for this young lady and for him…. Along that line. I did not pray for him to get her into bed… but all he wanted to know was do I really care about him, was I listening or was he just a project… when we were done I again said I know what you really need… and I shared a simple gospel with him. He did not accept Christ that time… but he left feeling loved and understanding the gospel and his need for it.
So.. Don’t chicken out and say I will pray for you… and then just walk away or change the subject. Pray for them right then and there. Again about anything, for any reason, at anytime and then share the gospel.

The basic problem, the foundational problem today… the reason our world is completely backwards… feelings mean more than facts, and the authority of opinions mean more than the authority of scripture. GH

Text me 30 second interviews of you asking people “whats it take to be a man” (and send me yours as well) Please let people know this is not a gender question… just simply in each persons mind we have a simple theory of what it takes to be a man… I will post them on all my social meads channels… hey I would love to hear from women as well. There are no right or wrong answers… and I don’t just want christian men, so if a guy cusses we will edit it out if its really bad.
How to be Ripped, Rich, Radical and Righteous!
Be yourself… what do I mean by that? I believe most people do not realize that God has created them as a masterpiece…what does that mean? You are totally unique -
What you like, what you do, how you act, how you live, love etc… it is so unique there is no one else out there like you. Yes there are some who have similarities in areas, but how you live them out is completely only for you, created for you by God.
When we try to do things, copy things, be things that are anything other than the gifts, talents and passions that God has given us, we become tired internally with a slow drain of stress… we are trying to do something we are not called to be. We are trying to be something he has not created us to be… how weary is that?
If I felt the pressure to learn to juggle 3 chainsaws and every day put myself through the hassle, time, pain and the stress… I might learn it, but if its not a passion, a gifting, a talent, a calling if you will… it will ultimately drain me in every other area of my life. When you see people living the Quote un quote dream and they walk away from it all… you think… How could you. You had it made… yes but made by the world. They walk away and they are more happy, more fulfilled, more in tune with themselves and God.
So how to you live your authentic life?
Discover Your Passion: Identify what truly excites you and aligns with your values. Pursuing your passions will bring purpose and fulfillment to your life. Rom. 12:4-6 there are many gifts… find yours.
Be True to Yourself: Don't conform to societal expectations or try to be someone you're not. Embrace your unique qualities and express yourself authentically. By the renewing of your mind… you become who Christ wants you to become.
You know who will hate you, mock you and belittle you? The ones who are to afraid to be themselves… they conform to the world… I choose to conform to who Christ created me to be.
Practice Mindfulness:
Am I living as Christ created me to live? Don’t get me wrong, its not always comfortable being who God has created you to be. He has created me to be an outgoing, speak your mind, sheepdog who confronts and abruptly takes charge of situations… some people wish they were like that, others are glad they are not, but it aint always easy. But I remind myself who I am to be and who Christ created me to be.
Build Meaningful Relationships: Surround yourself with people who support and inspire you. Nurturing authentic connections can enrich your life and provide a sense of belonging. We are the body of Christ… we all need each other. Every finger on my hand looks different, but hey are all needed and useful. Now compare that finger to my colon, my ribcage, my hair… You build unity and great meaning by growing in your relationships with other believers.

INtro: Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NIV)
“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.”
Now is the time Slayer!
5 Things Every Christian Entrepreneur Should Know
As a Christian entrepreneur, your faith can provide a strong foundation for your business endeavors. Here are 5 essential things to keep in mind:
- God's Sovereignty: Recognize that God is ultimately in control of your business. Trust in His plan and seek His guidance in every decision.
But don’t misplace handwork with faith. I have put on dozens of Permit to carry classes and we have had over almost 2000 people come in the last 5 years… We prayed over the events, we called out in faith what we believe and expected to happen… but I also worked my butt off. Working on social media posts, handing out posters, building teams, answering thousands of emails, dealing with the haters and the skeptics, building a budget, raising money etc…
It takes hard work! Period… James 2:17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
- Ethical Business Practices: Align your business practices with biblical principles of honesty, integrity, and fairness. This can build trust with customers and partners.
God cannot bless tilted scales… what do I mean by that? If you are trying to fudge, stretch the truth, lie, manipulate, take shortcuts, cut back on Quality, over promise and under deliver… God won’t bless that.
- Generosity and Giving Back: Use your business as a platform to give back to your community and support charitable causes. This can be a powerful way to make a positive impact.
You really want to see your business take off? Tithe on what you make. If my business makes $500 each month, I am tithing $50 to a church or ministry.
God cannot bless seed that you do not sow… when you are hurting is the best time to sow.
- Work-Life Balance: Prioritize your relationship with God, family, and friends. A strong support system can help you navigate the challenges and stresses of entrepreneurship.
Look, if your business keeps you so busy that you can’t keep your quite time with him, your reading and prayer time… it’s probably best your business dies so you have more time to spend with him.
Start ups are a million miles a second and that’s when they are struggling… so if you don’t practice that discipline now, you won’t when you become successful.
- Seek Wisdom and Guidance: Continuously seek guidance from God and wise mentors. This can help you make informed decisions and avoid common pitfalls.
Remember, your faith can be a source of strength, inspiration, and purpose as you build your business.

INTRO: it always comes back to the basics… people will ask how to get stronger or bigger. Here is the simplified secret answer: Lift heavy weights, at least an hour a day, every day, for years and eat lots of protein. Its not hard to understand its just hard to do.

Daily Burning more calories than you take in…
Proven, factual, dependable and scientific… but rarely used because its not ‘FLASHY”
- Basic Discipleship Course (Into the Harvest)
- 50 Days of Discipleship New (50 Days of Discipleship)
- Emotionally Healthy Discipleship Course (Pete & Geri Scazzero)
- Discipleship Explored (Christianity Explored)
- Disciple (Alphacrucis University College)

- 10.RVL Discipleship Course (Christian Schools International)
Not that these are not good, and I love discipleship books, courses, audio versions etc… I have personally done many of them. But again proven this day and every day as the most dependable way to become like Christ is
READ PRAY and OBEY
Do some deep research on great men of God and how they got to know Christ deeply and intimately this is how…
Billy Graham suggested reading the Bible in the following ways:
- Start with the Gospels: Graham recommended starting with the Gospel of John, which tells the story of Jesus Christ. He believed that Jesus is the center of the Bible's message, and that understanding who Jesus is will help make sense of the rest of the Bible.
- Read daily: Read a small portion of the Bible each day, such as a few paragraphs.
- Read prayerfully: Ask God to help you understand the Bible and apply it to your life.
- Read slowly: Read the Bible slowly and in segments.
- Pray for understanding: Ask God to help you understand what the Bible is saying and what it means for your life.
and practice living it.

Job 33… just cuz your old doesn’t mean you know what you are talking about.
1 Tim. 4:12
Don’t let anyone look down on your youth.
Despise - to regulate your behavior, to limit or put you in restraint of your behavior.
Test the spirits.
In the Bible, the phrase "test the spirits" means to be skeptical of teachings and to determine if they come from God or a demonic spirit. This is a command in 1 John 4:1, which says, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God".
Here are some ways to test the spirits:
- Confession of Jesus Christ: According to 1 John 4:2-3, spirits that confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh are from God, while those that do not are not.
- Love for God and other believers: Test if the teacher or leader lives in a loving, godly, and upright way.
- Accuracy of teaching: Compare the teaching to the teachings of Jesus and his apostles.
- Presence of the Holy Spirit: Test if the teacher or leader has the Holy Spirit in their walk.
- Righteous and holy conduct: Test if the teacher or leader has righteous and holy conduct.
The reason to test the spirits is that many false prophets have gone out into the world. The undiscerning can be victimized by these false teachers.

He has given all power and authority to them that believe. John 1:12
"To us ward who believe.-
primary thought of "belief." It has a twofold meaning,
"be," to live or exist; and
"lifan,"
which conveys the thought of accordance.
Thus to believe means literally "to live in accordance with"
its root leads us on to action; that which the mind accepts, the will must obey.
*PRACTICAL DAILY COMMITMENT
There is a daily acceptance of the fact that we sit at the right hand of God and exercise his authority.
Satan has no power over us…
Satan is The accuser of the brethren… The Brother.. the family… he accuses us so that we may not act with boldness and with authority.
What does accusing do to the person being accused…
What if I accused you - “You are fat!”…
You will start to employ comparisons from past, current, future possibilities - your confidence will erode, and faith to act will dwindle… all from an accusation.
**What did the older brother do??? He accused the younger brother… but he did it to the father.
When the enemy accuses you - tell him to go see your Daddy!
Luke 4:31,32 Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths. And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.
NOT JUST IN THE SUPERNATURAL
It represents the authority given us through the name of Jesus.
It symbolizes the strength given us through the Holy Spirit to overcome temptation and sin.
It symbolizes the discernment to beware of the deceitful schemes of the enemy to draw us off course.
It gives us the confidence to pray faith-filled prayers.
The ring is symbolic of the source of our authority to live an overcoming life for God.

You are the kind of person that complains about the weather. You can’t do anything about it. And yet what you can change you still complain about, but do nothing to change. You my friend are the definition of a fools fool.
In Psalm 100:2, it says to ‘serve the Lord with gladness.’ Deuteronomy 10:12 says, ‘Serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.’ Joshua says, ‘As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord’ (Joshua 24:15). And Paul in Romans 12:11 also tells us to ‘serve the Lord.’
What we miss in these verses is the idea behind serve… it doesn’t just mean wash peoples feet or serve at the church… it is speaking of your whole being walking in alignment of who God wants you to be. You serve him in every area…
I recently had a couple in counseling and the man said “Would you please shut up, I am trying to communicate”. And there in lies the problem. You can’t even see what you can change thinking you are in fact changing that and at the same time practicing the exact behavior that you need to change.
What does it take to truly serve the Lord, to truly change… yes God, yes forgiveness, yes salvation, yes the Holy Spirit, yes prayer, scripture… but to change REALLY REALLY CHANGE… you have to honestly ask God what you need to change. Ask God to reveal to you what you need to change.
In my church plant years ago a young girl came to Christ… she was marvelously transformed at the Altar. We prayed and talked for a few minutes and one of her questions was about what to do now… I explained a few things about how to read and pray and disciple yourself… But one of the things I said was to ask God what you need to give to him in order to be more like him…. Or something like that.
The next Sunday she comes in with 2 big garbage bags and puts them up by the altar… I asked her what they were - she reminded me of our conversation last week and said she asked God what she needed to give to him and it was the majority of her clothing… she dressed very provocatively… so when God said you need to give me your clothes and your style etc… she assumed she should bring it to church and put it at the altar.
The innocence and desire to change…to do anything to change to be more intimate with Jesus… wow. I was totally convicted.
What do you need to change in order to change? Honesty with yourself and with God… I dare you to ask him to open your eyes and show you what you really need to change. And the conviction to act on it.
