In this episode, Chris Rivers and Jacob Cook discuss Jacob’s journey in discovering what it means to be an Authentic Man. They talk about how Jacob's understanding of responsibility and the force of community on his life broke his relentless pursuit of “power” and “importance.”
Share, listen and then discuss the Episode 6 Study Questions (https://bit.ly/3ynPAj4) in a one on one conversation or with a group of men.
APPLICATION
1. Is there anything you are doing that is causing you to rely on your own strength instead of God’s strength? If so, what next steps could you take to move towards God in that area?
2. In what ways do you personally struggle with passivity and self-reliance?
3. Where have you seen God’s power manifested in your life or the life of another authentic man? What stands out to you about the change that you have experienced or have observed in someone else?
4. What does Biblical community look like for you? Read Galatians 6:1-3, Acts 2:42-43 and share some key ideas that stand out to you in those two passages. Where do you need to move in this area?
