• Relevance to Today’s Issues
• The Power of Grace. Isaiah Encountered Two Men
  • One exhibited no grace.
  • The other approached him with grace.
    • Our ability to extend grace to others is dependent on our understanding and mindfulness of the grace that we have received through Jesus Christ. 
    • Previous experiences, even and especially the most difficult ones, help us extend grace to others. 
• Intentionality 
  • The mentor was purposeful, intentional, and strategic in leveraging his experiences and growth to invest in others. 
  • He was intentionally present and persistent in the lives of the men he discipled. 
  • We will not succeed at discipleship by mistake. We must be intentional. We must not be passive. 
  • It’s ok to start small. The Forge gathering started with Joshua investing in one man, then another, then another. A mighty oak grows from a small acorn. 
    • Don’t despise small beginnings.
  • Make intentional and strategic investments in a few who are committed rather than many who are passive.
