Episode 20 Purpose and Calling Part 2- Acie's Breakthrough

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1956349/fan_mail/new] In this second part of the discussion the guys started, they dig back into this very complex topic, but most of the episode is a powerful testimony by Acie. While the guys were recording the first part of this episode a very hard and uncomfortable conversation began to emerge. That conversation, among some other things, brought Acie to a pretty low place in the days and weeks following. He shares that and God's great love and provision for him in the time since they were last in the studio.

Episode 19 Purpose and Calling Part 1

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1956349/fan_mail/new] In this episode the guys start a conversation about this very complex but pivotal topic. In some ways these two words make up the foundational blocks of effective discipleship. But they also prove to be very elusive to even seasoned Christian men and women. Some people just assume these are words for Pastors or Priests. Others may feel like they should apply to the average Christ follower, but get overwhelmed by the variety of opinions and teachings on them. Acie and Steve are going to try to get down to the roots of this topic. They have certainly had their share of challenges in trying to pursue calling and purpose in their lives. This is a topic that they would love to hear some feedback from you as they dive into these conversations.

The Yearbook Episodes: Finding Real Joy from Some Hard-Earned Wisdom--Our Forties

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1956349/fan_mail/new] Episode 17 is a great look at the guys in the past decade leading up to present. Acie has a great quote right out of the gate, "I stopped chasing happiness, and started living with joy." This episode bounces back and forth from a reflection of their forties to a volume of life experience and wisdom that was four decades in the making. As the guys take us through the past ten years they hit most, if not all, of the areas most men find important. Marriage, career, children, recreation, and coming to grips with the most formidable of all foes-themselves.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1956349/fan_mail/new] In episode 16 Acie and Steve take a look back at the decade that, they both agree, really shaped who they are today. In the conversation they break down some of the factors that made this a pivotal era for them, and they talk about the similarities that they see between their experience and a lot of other men. They also take some time to point out some things that they feel are easy to slip into during this very transitional decade.
