I spent an hour with C2D Cadre Mike Lammers on the back porch discussing how to make a plan of life that is specific, individualized, and pertinent to you as a man.   Do you know what is your "root sin" or "primary defect"?   You need to know this to be able to make progress in the spiritual life.  Remember the goal is Heaven and union with God - you need the information in this podcast in order to move forward on this path.  Download the document Mike and I were working from in today's podcast below: https://www.call2duty.net/product-page/program-of-life-handout Get to the website and register for C2D6:  www.Call2Duty.net

What do you do when you return from the annual C2D retreat? You "Set Security!" with LTC (R) Wild Bill Platte

Send a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1942286/open_sms] The annual C2D retreat (C2D5) is in the books and it was powerful!  But what do you do after you've gone on an awesome retreat, seen and felt the LORD work in your life, and have started to take back some ground from the Enemy and make changes in your life?  You "Set Security".  You establish (with your squad) a 360-degree perimeter in your spiritual life to protect and fortify the ground you've gained.  Tune in and continue to stay vigilant and defend the the good the LORD has accomplished in you!
