Week 4: Be a Man in Community

Friends look out for each other. They keep each other honest and accountable. They’re not afraid to stick their finger in a friend’s face and tell them honestly they’ve gone off track. A wise man desires such friends. It takes an enormous amount of focus and work to maintain such an atmosphere amongst friends.

This is the power of friendships – honesty and openness. It’s foolish to have close friends and not build trust and security to the point of transparency – take advantage of your close friends by being open with them about your struggles, insecurities, etc. We were never meant to go it alone.

Practical Steps

1. In the next week, talk about this devotional with your closest friends and ask them to pray about going to a new level of accountability and friendship.
