CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A book that Cap’n Crunch has recommended is Wild at Heart by John Eldridge.  Eldridge talks about how as men, we are often taught to ignore our wounds.  Yet, our reaction to our wounds leads us to live out of a false self.  God wants us to live out of our true selves.  We must recognize and admit our wounds, come to God with them.  By admitting our wounds and approaching God with them, we can get beyond them and be the true men God wants us to be.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM
Often we measure our sense of security and significance by our external circumstances…where we “are.”  A stronger, truer expression is to look at the direction we are heading in.  Our circumstances may be tough, but if keep our eyes fixed on God, and seek to live with honor and integrity we will find a strength and resilience we didn’t know we had access to.  Conversely, we may be in a “good place” circumstantially, but if we don’t guard our heart and mind we will soon find life looses it’s joy and wonder.  Bottom Line: Life is a pursuit, not a destination!  What are your eyes fixed on?  How can you help someone in your life shift perspectives?
