Americans on average 13 cars in a lifetime.

Brand Loyalty fromm boomers in the last 25 years is ZERO… thats staggering. For Gen X…. They don’t even know what brand loyalty is… For Genz Z they have some loyalty… but it is more of a fan base, meaning they are loyal until the next hit comes.
But where is there loyalty that rarely slips…
Self care loyalty is huge and rarely shifts.
What do I mean by self care….
Well if you are a woman and you get your hair done, nails done or work out/weight loss - that is self care.
If you have a Doctor, nutritionist, Dentist, whatever is about you taking care of yourself. The fact remains the same - and its this: if you can combine feature with relationship you will almost never change- even if it is a huge price difference.
I want to go to a Doctor that I like, and that is competent. But if he is only competent, but a rude or seemingly uncaring person… I will leave him for a competent and caring doctor.
We use to always go to the same place to buy a car or get our groceries… not anymore because there is no personality tied to it.
Today, relationships are everything.
So where am I going with this? We often want more open doors to share Christ… well it starts with how you treat people. How you treat those at work, in your neighborhood, church, coffee shop, doctors office, mechanic, the 1-800 operator.
When you have relationship skills that connect you with other people it gives you a divine advantage to share the gospel.
I was on the phone last week with a bank… waiting online for 30 minutes… usually the hold line plays horrible background music… but they didn’t. So I used it as a way to start a fun conversation with the operator. By the time I was done I was telling her about Jesus.
We can build short term loyalty by how we treat others… and use it to share Christ. we can build long term loyalty with anyone and again use it as a way to share Christ… if people simply like us, we can tell them just about anything. Maybe that is the ultimate secret to witnessing.
As followers of Christ Remember this one thing: When it comes to sharing Christ… he is not the brand, we are! They better like who we are or they may never give Jesus a chance.

The greatest advice you have ever been given… I know it hands down. Now you may have some great advice, you may have been given some great advice that changed your life… but I am going to go out on a bet and say this is still the best advice ever in the world… because in a sense it entails all the other great advice out there in the world.
Ready… Here it is:
Don’t give up, never give up, refuse to give up… at any cost at any time no matter what do not quit trying. You may quit an approach, or certain strategy… but do not give up on the outcome, the ideal behind it.
Is it be rich, is it be loved, is it to grow a massive company, is it to learn a new language, is it to mentor men, is it to build your own boat, your own muscle car… to make amends with your daughter…
Fail, but don’t give up
Rest, but don’t give up
Tray a 14th time, but don’t give up
Let everyone tell you that you are crazy, but don’t give up
Lose all your money, but don’t give up
Remember my podcast on what is a man? Prov. 24:16 A man though he falls six times will get back up… a 7th time. Seven is the perfect number… it means continue for ever. How many times did Jesus tell Peter to forgive people? 70x7… right here the author of proverbs… I believe Solomon wrote this one (smartest man on the planet) said a man does not give up.
Why do we give up? I truly believe it is not because we get tired or don’t know what else to do or try… I believe we almost always give up over time because of fear…
We began to fear that we may actually never finish the task, complete the mission - create our envisioned future!
Fear is always built on a lie deal with the lie, and fear will die! You deal with the lie by replacing it with gods truth, what has God said about this situation? God’s word brings faith with it and when faith comes in fear goes out! Fear cannot abide or dwell in the environment of the truth. You eliminate fears environment by dwelling in the environment of the truth. Faith is always built-in Gods word, built on the truth, live in the truth, and you and your future is fear proof and faith filled! Steve C. Shank
The truth in gods word causes one to continue to move forward regardless of the failure they face because they know what God has spoken in them, to them, over them in his word.
Zig Ziglar said
Your input determines your outlook. You’re Outlook determines your output, and your output determines your future. Zig Ziglar
In the middle of your battle, your life, your mission your calling your family legacy remember….
The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But if he can't kill you he will scare you. If he can't scare you he will offend you. And if he can't offend you he will distract you.
Any or all of these can cause a person to give up…. don’t ever give up.

What is the fastest way to greatly increase the quality of your life?
Jesus?…. ok, maybe, but still not quite as fast as what I am thinking of.
The quality of our friends and the amount of time we allow them to influence us is a premium to how well our life runs and how much we enjoy it!
We think of dating like fishing… if you fish in a mud hole you will catch bullheads. If you fish in a sparkling stream you will catch rainbow trout. Where are you fishing… now today is not about dating or marriage, but it kind of is. Its about relationships… more specifically mens relationships, you could even call them mentors… but maybe that is too formal.
Men are lonely.
Men want more connection.
Men want networks and insight.
Men want friends who are looked up to.
Men want friends who are Godly and are quick with a word from God.
So here is a question: Right now, this very second, what is the pool you are fishing in for friends.
- Work….? Good pool? Bad pool? Stagnant pool?
- Church? Are you deep enough into that pool with bible studies, ministry, serving, small groups?
- How much time do you take for fishing… I like UFC fights, but not for what you might think.
Its easy to get men to come over to the house to watch a UFC fight and eat pizza and wings and drink root beer… Men are relaxed, easy to get to know and I am mentally picking who I want to try to spend more time with. Im fishing! I have had the opportunity to speak at some entrepreneurial events, some for dentists, business owners, chiropractors etc… these are a great pool in which to fish from. I still like church the best.
Much like in marriage and dating…
Contacts create companionship, companionship creates commitment, that commitment creates our character.
Where are you setting up shop for contacts.
This past year I paid $500 a session to meet with a mentor… I was one of about 200 people. I continue to get more from the other 200 than from just the mentor. .. and he is awesome, great. But the pool was far more valuable at $500 than the fishing coach. and that coach was Patrick Bet David, so you know he is no slouch. So here is another great point… the friends I choose will be the lifeguard at the pool that I continue to choose from. What do I mean… of course I am going to meet amazing people hanging out with PBD because he is amazing and it costs me something.
When we talk about the influence of friends… we skip that first part of the process… friends come from the pool we fish from. People who date from the bar scene typically live a marriage that feels like it has bars on it. People who date from apps have a little better chance.. but again that app is set up for “what I want”.
People who get into groups that are about serving, and bettering oneself and ministry, entrepreneurial and bettering the world … they typically marry those who want to be more like Jesus… (and who doesn’t want to be married to Jesus) who want to better other relationships, better friends, better mankind etc… Those are the friends you want… so make sure you are fishing in the right pool.

Anything worth doing good is worth doing…
Not exactly.
Anything worth doing… do it.
In fact Gods word says
Do all Good things, all things excellent things, do only the things you are good at UNTO THE LORD.
Col. 3:23Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men, 24because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.…
We should not dread work
But we will if we do not use our whole being. Imagine your next job, task and trying to use your spirit and soul, and your mind and your imagination and in trying to make God look good… it will elevate your spiritual conscientiousness and literally allow the Holy Spirit to flow you at a new level and bring “life” into what you do.
It’s not saying we necessarily need to be good at what we do.
Its a form of worship… so we can do things we are not exactly great at… but if we do it as unto the Lord it is worship.
like when your son cleans up the garage floor with a cleaner that actually is used to clean your gun… its super expensive, its not meant for floors, it leaves the floors incredibly slippery and now the whole garage smells like an oil factory. But he put in 4 hours doing it… he did it to make you proud- and you are. He did it for Daddy, and Daddy is happy.
Im not saying stay with a job you hate or a job you are not skilled for.
But you can do any job for any person at any time and still do it for God.
Think of it this way … you can go to the dentist and still do it unto the Lord. How you treat the women at the desk, the assistant, the dentist the whole procedure… you can do it like you are at the dentist LOL or you can do it as unto the Lord. Make God Look Good.

Galatians 6
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load. 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
- 6 Do not think more of yourself
Now listen and follow where I am going…
I try to guard my heart and my eyes very very much… I remember while traveling in Argentina in a hotel room with my Dad and another missionary from the area. And we had a TV on watching Monday night football… but their commercials are not like our commercials…
The point: Porn, lust, skin… feeding that is voracious. If you feed it - it is never fulfilled, it only grows a 1000 times more hungry.
WHERE AM I GOING WITH THIS…???
**If you judge others… and lose your heart for them. If you start to think more of yourself… it is never satisfied. You become so blind, you become so self righteous that others are baffled by it… stumped at how you could be so blind to your own arrogance knowing that it is just as offensive as that other persons sin. It is never satisfied.
What if you confronted your brother in Christ and instead of berating him… you simply told him how much of a man of God he is and how you hurt inside knowing God has so much more for him.
This cycle (a husband caught in porn a wife caught in self righteousness) is one of the most vicious blinding cycles in marriage.
- 7 Test your own actions
Test: is it working?
There is only one place in our Christian walk for comparison - and that would be personal comparison.
Compare it to 3 things -
* Against satans kingdom… are we destroying the works of the enemy.
1 John 3:7Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. 8The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil.
* Against ourselves. Am I different in habits, words, actions and thought
Col. 3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
- Against Jesus. Matthew 5:48 Therefore be ye perfect like your father in heaven is perfect.
- 8 Carry your own load - be responsible for your own actions, compromises,
Load and burden is different
Burden -a debilitating sin - I need your help, its a sin I need help dealing with it
Load - is your life, daily problems, your circumstances, your personality, strengths and weaknesses
CARRY - Take responsibility
**Don’t wait until someone calls you on your sin to deal with it… take responsibility and deal with it now.
Calling out those who are struggling with the law, rules, judging others etc…

- 3 Careful so you are not tempted (to make yourself look better, become judgmental, see others faults but dismiss their own - judge you by your actions, but judge themselves by their intentions.
*When I am in this position I try to use my own mistakes to act as a buffer before I confront them on their actions.
You know when someone starts to tell you where you need to improve and work on stuff… you have a gut level reaction to want to point out what they need to work on - and they do - so I put myself in that position when I confront someone - I say things like “look I used to wrestle with and I currently wrestle with… and I need people to help me with… I want them to know we are on the same team, dealing with the same stuff… our flesh!
- 4 Carry their burden
Pastor Garth you are so spiritual…. uh yea, right. The truth is I have had people carry my burden with me… even drag me along in my burden and keep me accountable even when I just wanted to give up.
Its not easy carrying someones burden… its heavy, its makes you cranky if you are not careful…
you want to give up!
But I have many to thank for carrying my burden, I am glad they did not give up on me.
- 5 fulfill the law? Remember Chapter 5 of Galatians… fulfilling the law is living in the fruits of the spirit - we just got done covering the law as seen in the fruits of the spirit… now we get to fulfill them by living in the fruits of the spirit.
So what is this saying… well if you back up looking at the end of Galatians 5 and the fruits of the spirit you see two things in the greek text. One is that the Fruit of the spirit is LOVE… and then Love is described by what we call the fruits. - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.
so that is fulfilling the law: loving others.
Secondly we then understand that the fruit of the spirit is to be enjoyed by others.
Have you ever had a friend you loved being around just becasue they exude the fruits of the spirit… even when you knew you were a butthead? you got to eat of their fruits… while you were in sin, trouble, bad attitude, struggling - whatever it is! And you enjoy their fruit which helps you step out of what you are working on. Why not YOU be that guy!

Right now I am pumping the greens and Pre-workout and loving them both… Heres a secret “I’m on them right now as I do my podcast”.
Now we just covered the Fruits of the spirit…
love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.
NOW if only there was a way to test these fruits… a proving ground, a laboratory if you will ? ? ? ?
Galatians 6
Brothers and sisters, if someone (Adelphoi GK a brother in Christ) is caught (GK leaning towards or currently dealing with) in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore (GK pop a bone back into place) that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load (Don’t wait for someone to call you on your sin take responsibility for your own walk) …
HOW HARD… to not excuse your own faults, your own inconsistencies, your own attitudes, your own SINS.
FALLING, STUMBLING AND DISTANCED
Stumbling… someone is playing with fire - you flirt
Falling… you are in sin and trying to wrestle it or cover it up
Distanced… you just don’t care. Maybe a Christian maybe a non-believer.
Someone falls… how awkward… you are responsible to call them out in love.
What if I lose them as a friend?
*My Dad shared a story with me recently about confronting a man in the church who was hitting on women. He confronted him and was called the next day by his son in law and was threatened… you’ve got guns Ive got God… come and get me~
Qualifications:
- 1 you who live by the spirit should call them out
By the spirit GK = the invisible sphere in which the Holy Spirit imparts faith, reveals Christ, emanating from the Divine Spirit, or exhibiting its effects and so its character
- 2 use gentleness
What did Jesus do? Peter turns his back on Jesus… but does so after posturing that he would NEVER DO THAT. He compares himself to everyone else… they might- but not me. I would die first.
