From The Podcast Episode
“Teach me how to be a man of God.”
Tom Gensler and Tom Cheshire of Relevant Practical Ministry for Men join us on the podcast this week to discuss how The Noble Man Seeks the Wisdom of Other Men. Gensler and Cheshire take the pressure off as they discuss how to “lower the bar” in discipleship. You’ll discover resources and practical tips to live out Paul’s example in 1 Corinthians 11:1, “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”

Tips:
Live a life of thriving in Christ.
Information by itself is not transformational. Knowledge in the context of relationship points back to the source of truth, Jesus Christ.
Someone has to love us through the information and teach us how to apply that to our lives.
Sanctification is a lifelong process.
Be in the Word consistently, more often than you’re not.
Be HOT and FAT
Honest, Open, Transparent
Faithful, Available, Teachable
No guy has all the information figured out. We need folks who will walk with us through each of those seasons and remind us that God has answers for each challenge in each environment.
Super-effective evangelism is relational.
Scripture:
- 2 Timothy 2:2 – Paul puts a qualifier on the men Timothy is to invest in: faithful men who will be willing to teach others also.
- Proverbs 4 – Get wisdom.
