CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Selections from Judges 16.
MOLESKIN:
The thrust of what I talked about is the fact that Samson acted like an idiot with Delilah. He knew this woman did not have his best interest at heart, and still continued in his relationship to her after multiple times where she proved untrustworthy. I think Samson did that because he relied on himself and his strength to get out of his trouble. However, once he revealed his heart to Delilah, Judges 16:20 records some of the most frightening words in Scripture, “But he did not know that the Lord had left him.” To be honest, I think we all have a little Samson inside of us. We think we can master or control or lives. Many times that will evidence itself in how we think we have sin under control. We sometimes live like we can play with sin and never get hurt. I encouraged us all to be quick to repent and find forgiveness because sin bites, kills, and separates.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Very simple. Just listen. (set a timer for 1 minute to listen quietly). If you’re anything like me, that silence can feel really awkward and it is tempting to fill it up with unimportant jabber. But as leaders, we need to lean into that uncomfortable silence and be available for the people around us. So lead through listening with your family, your work mates, and your neighbors.

MOLESKIN:
N/A

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Need a couple more guys to commit to helping establish a 2 day a week AO out in Seymour. Talk to Rep Sleepy if you’re interested.

Also, breakfast at drifters will likely be postponed due to family vacation and Easter. So look for it later in the month.

All of Psalm 15, and Psalm 7:12 which says, “If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and readied his bow; he has prepared for him his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.”
MOLESKIN:
I talked about a new type of masculinity out there that is disgusting me personally, and I find it super hypocritical. It reminded me of the hypocrisy of the warden in the movie Shawshank Redemption, but the the truth is, I can be just like that guy if I’m not careful or if I get complacent. It’s ok to be a biblical man, and we should pursue biblical masculinity, but that will look different for each of us. Two steps in biblical masculinity that I find reflected in these two sections from the Psalms are this: 1) repent, aka, own your spiritual crap before God and others. It is not enough to acknowledge you did something wrong. You need to take responsibility for your actions, and ask for forgiveness. We are living in a world that encourages blame-shifting and sandbagging your brothers, but we DON’T do that! We own our mistakes here. 2) Tell the truth, even if it hurts you personally. There is much in our culture right now that is spreading convenient lies instead of inconvenient truth. We are to be truth-tellers, and we need to be better than the hypocrites we see in the mirror every morning. The only way to get better and push others to be better is with God’s truth.
