Courageous one

In October, I wrote about how I heard God tell me at a Wild at Heart Boot Camp that his name for me is "Brave One."

An interesting affirmation of this word happened recently while at church. The guitar player on the worship team came up to me after the service. He said, "Brant, while I was up on stage, I looked in your direction, and God told me a word for you."

"What was the word?" I replied.

"Courageous One," he said.

Thank you, Lord.

Courageous

I'm currently going through a Bible study with three other men related to the movie "Courageous," the latest film by Sherwood Pictures.

It's a quick, but deep, study designed to challenge men to live courageously for the sake of their families. Session topics include:

1. Courageous Call:  fighting for your family
2. Courageous Priorities:  valuing what matters most
3. Courageous Legacy:  impacting future generations
4. Courageous Faith:  standing for Christ.

I highly recommend this Bible study to fathers and husbands. One of the key lessons that I have learned through this Bible study about leaving a positive legacy is that you have to unpack and deal with the legacy left in your life first.
