COT:
Information without transformation is just entertainment.
And transformation doesn’t happen in isolation.
You can…
• Listen to every podcast
• Read every book
• Attend every men’s conference
But if you’re trying to grow alone, with no accountability, you’re setting yourself up for failure.
The enemy loves isolated men.
They’re easier to deceive. Easier to discourage.
Easier to defeat.

“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭3‬, ‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

[crossroads-vls] Foundation/Disruption F1

AO: crossroads-vls
Q: Otis
PAX: Natty, Mountain Ice, Spellcheck, Mooch, Herbie, Otis
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
WARMUP: Prayer and Greetings

THE THANG: F1 Disruption
Disturbance to the Status Quo

Socratic
– What do leaders do?
– What effect does leadership have on the status quo?
– Is there a common characteristic shared by leaders who leave a legacy?

Leading people to action against the status quo brought up a few key questions:

– How can you visualize and know where you are to go?
– What does it look like to describe it?
For both of these: see a need or problem; devise a solution or witness an advantage taken by others. You have to answer the why and how yourself first to be able to properly communicate the benefit.
– What are some examples of a status quo that you have recognized that needs disrupting? (Commitment, idleness, flesh/not living 3rd, not having love, complacency, loving and forgiving yourself, comfort and convenience)

Big focus on love: Without love, disrupting the status quo isn’t leading, more of being a critic(jackass as Borg would put it).

It is very important to commit to study and application of the reason behind your disruption to better communicate it to others.

Spur
– Leaders influence movement to advantage
– Because it induces movement, leadership causes Disruption
– A great Leader’s legacy is built on love

MARY: Focusing on 1 Get Right chapter a month this year, the month of January is DRP. This is in addition to regularly covering each chapter a week in order. At the beginning of the month, read the month’s chapter and come up with a measurable challenge to help you apply it and make it a habit.
Example: Mine for this month is getting up immediately when my alarm goes off. Seems small but I think has big implications. Starting off with the DRP(Daily Red Pill, the choice of the hard, true life of the HIM) straight out of bed helps the rest of my day. I’m not rushed, can make my lunch, make coffee, help my wife, read, pray, etc. Compared to rushing, forgetting things and speeding to my destination.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Come up with a DRP challenge for yourself.

COT: Whole Thing

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something.”

-Neil Gaiman

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: How many times have you had to reinvent yourself?

When we find ourselves in a place where we didn’t plan, it can feel like we’re walking around in the wilderness. We all experience wilderness seasons, but we’re never meant to stay in them. The Lord typically has a lesson for us to learn or He has a plan to develop our character.

So what do we do while we’re passing through a wilderness?

1. Don’t forget to worship – in a wilderness we need to take our eyes off of our circumstances and put them on the Lord. He has a plan and He is worthy of our praise.
2. Don’t forget the breakthroughs of the past – in a wilderness we can start to believe that it’s never going to end. We must remember the times in the past where God came through, the answered prayers, and the miracles we’ve seen. He’s a good agog and He won’t abandon us.
3. Don’t quit – in a wilderness we are tempted to quit. Remember there are others in your life that are counting on you to show up. No matter the cost, we can’t quit.

If you need a good place to start to move forward, ask yourself these two questions:
1. What is next for me to do?
2. Who is next for me to impact?

You will never out grow these two steps and they will help plot the course for your breakthrough!
