33 Day Men’s ChallengeSample

DAY EIGHT

The Warrior’s Creed

Speak it out for two minutes with conviction and use the movements from the video to memorize it:

“Obey heaven, serve people, conquer self, crush evil.”

The Master’s Word

Set this word to a rhythm and declare it out loud for at least five minutes and whenever you’re out walking or driving today.

“Confess your sin one to another that you may be healed.” James 5:16

The Truth Challenge

Consider honestly this question:

“Do you have a friend who you trust more than you trust yourself? Do you have a sin habit that you haven't yet confessed to anyone, but you know you should?”

The Response Challenge

Take some notes and share them with your warrior brother (by telephone, email, text etc.).

The Physical Challenge

Fast social media and encourage an old friend.

Today’s physical challenge is a SOCIAL MEDIA fast! Wow—food is one thing—but giving up social media or internet browsing takes a whole new level of self-control!

But don’t just STOP at one thing—do something else instead. And our challenge today is, instead of using social media for this one day, reach out to connect with an old friend and see if you can get some time with them. Meet up for coffee, or if you can’t meet up, ask them what you can pray for them for. Sometimes that is a key for people to open up.

So pray; ask the Master to show you someone. Ask the Master about how to approach them; to meet up or just to say you were thinking about them; and ask how things are. Or to offer to pray. Contact them and see how things go.

(Now, be careful—unless you strongly sense the Spirit showing you—I encourage you to just contact other men. Don’t give the devil a chance to tempt you to contact old girlfriends/lovers etc. Listen and obey the Spirit!)

 SUPPLEMENTARY CONTENT:

Week Two Connect Time

Arrange to meet for 30 to 60 minutes sometime during the week with your warrior brother, either online or in person; share how things have been; review the daily content, and pray for one another.

Questions:

• What was the high point of your week? What was the low point?
• What made you really come alive this week?
• What has been helpful and what practical changes have you made?

Week Two Discussion:

In 2 Corinthians 6:18 God says to us “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons…” The Father said over Jesus in Matthew 3:17 “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

• As much as you are comfortable share with one another about your human father—the good, the bad and the ugly. 
• Discuss how Father God is fathering you. 
• Discuss how to walk more in the Father’s love daily.
• Listen to what the Master is saying about His role in your life as your Father as you pray for one another.
