Becoming a King: The Path to Restoring the Heart of a Manનમૂનો

Becoming Good Soil

Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. – Dallas Willard

The restoration of the masculine soul necessitates identifying and restoring a habitat, a particular lifestyle, in which we can thrive. By recovering a habitat that offers favorable growing conditions, the action of God joins with our human effort to produce supernatural results. As pictured in Jesus’ parable of the Generous Sower and the Good Soil, when Heaven’s power meets human effort, we can recover a life where the fruit of joy and impact is multiplied 30-, 60-, even 100-fold.  

Reflection Questions

1. If you’re honest, what priorities do you arrange your day around? (For example, fitness, financial gain, business or ministry success, needing people to like you.)
2. What are some new ways you would like to arrange your days, in small practical steps, that would orient you toward the destination you desire?

Closing Prayer

Father, I bring all of my relationships and practices under your care and into connection with you. I confess I need your guidance, your strength, and your counsel to arrange my days more and more so that I am experiencing deepening contentment, confidence, and joy in my everyday life with you. I’m asking you to speak into where and how I invest my strength in its every dimension and aspect, so that my actions would steadily align more and more with the beliefs I long to build my life and legacy upon.
