Am I Becoming the Man God Wants Me to Be?

Christian men, biblical masculinity, discipleship, spiritual growth, Christian leadership, faith, brotherhood, accountability, and iron sharpens iron. Am I becoming the man God wants me to be? It's a question many Christian men quietly ask themselves. Am I growing spiritually? Am I leading my family well? Am I doing enough? Am I becoming the man God has called me to be? In this episode of The Valiant Forge, we look at the story of Elijah after his greatest victory on Mount Carmel. Despite witnessing the power of God firsthand, Elijah became exhausted, discouraged, and convinced he was the only faithful man left. The problem wasn't simply that Elijah felt alone. The problem was that isolation distorted his perspective. When we try to follow God alone, we lose the ability to accurately evaluate our own walk with Him. Our feelings start sounding like facts. Our fears start sounding like truth. Elijah's story reminds us that God never intended men to forge themselves. Just as iron sharpens iron, we need other godly men to challenge us, encourage us, and help us see what we cannot see on our own. If you've ever wondered whether you're becoming the man God wants you to be, this message is for you. Join the Cave of Adullam Community: https://www.skool.com/the-cave-of-adu...
