Honestly, I think this might be my first time blogging!!HA HA....So Jess, This is for you Buddy!
First, I should probably mention that I was blessed by the Grace of God to land in the 'Freedom House'. Which is a Men's Discipleship Program for for Men of different backgrounds, cultures, hurts, hang-ups, etc.
I seen this book and just knew that it would help me stay in "My Walk". Not soon after that my Pastor, Gerry Stoltzfoos, told me one day that he believed I should be leading a small growth group, as scared as I was, I eventually asked him what he had in mind?? He mentioned that he had seen me comment on 'The Discipleship Dare' It was really an eye opener to me~I really felt God was unfolding things in ways that lead to me keeping my eyes on the LORD!!
So, I received some copies and began 2 read, from the very first page of what people are saying about it I felt this was gonna be good. "For new believers and mature Christians alike". Determined to 2 seek the LORD with all I got, and help others around me stay in their walk, hoping that they'll hold me accountable also, I started asking and listening to people on ways that the 'House' and I can get the BEST out of 'The Discipleship Dare'...
Learning that probably the best way is to just work it with the 'House' every Friday(But also committed to the 40 days myself). As the 'House' began the first chapter yesterday I realized the every man started to pull together!!( The 'House' was coming together!!PRAISE THE LORD!!! ) No matter the education, the little grudges between men, we were discussing the LORD!!! Everyone could understand it, everyone had some input, everyone was involved, everyone was praying!! Men that wasn't real sure on how to pray got 2 hear different examples, and they started to ask questions on how, what, where, and who!!!
Praise God!! The Discipleship Dare was a blessing!!
Much Love, Daniel Barnard
