THIRTY VIRTUES THAT BUILD A MAN

I’m a thirty-something entrepreneur who volunteers some extra time to help Resolute because they have helped me become a better man. Like you, I wanted to grow spiritually and help others grow spiritually. But I had no idea how to go about it.

Then a friend challenged me to go to a Resolute Men’s Breakfast. How could I say no to bacon? The room packed with men: millennials to baby boomers, bikers to pastors and military to civilians.

As I talked with these men, I realized they all had one thing in common: they were not there for bacon. They were hungry for change.

Then the founder, Vince Miller, got on stage and spoke a strong message that lit a fire under my butt. No joke, it was like the chairs at our table were on fire because every man instantly stood to accept Vince’s challenge.

See Vince tried for 20 years (2-5 times per year) to find a mentor after his grandfather died. But everyone was always “too busy” or “didn’t know how.”  Vince was so fed up with the NOs that he decided to create a system that simplified mentoring (and being mentored by) other men.

He wanted to make it so easy that men could no longer say, “I’m too busy” and “I don’t know how.” So I accepted Vince’s challenge to stop doing NOTHING and to be mentored and become a mentor to another man. I had no excuses…. Because The “Thirty Virtues that Build a Man” guide, that Vince created, provided me a page-by-page plan to have a spiritual conversation with another man—without the feeling awkward.

Instead of making excuses, I just started. I invited one man to have coffee, and that meeting turned into two guys and then somehow turned into a small group of five men that get into God’s Word together weekly.

God is doing something big. I can honestly say that I leave those meetings feeling alive from unpacking God’s truth with other men. Yet also feeling stretched by the challenges we have to complete before the next meeting.We even group text each other about the challenges during the week just because we want to chat about how hard they are. For example, this week we had to find three opportunities to show our wives grace, and I used them all up within my first hour of being home!!!

Men, I don’t know of anything that will grow you faster than real accountability from other men paired with The Thirty Virtues that Build a Man. We were not meant to do this life alone men. No excuses. Buy the book.
