Thank you @impactpittsburgh for having me!!! Wanted to share some of my notes that I didn’t get to dive into!! 

A HARMLESS MAN IS NOT A GOOD MAN. A GOOD MAN IS A VERY DANGEROUS MAN WHO HAS THAT UNDER VOLUNTARY CONTROL. JORDAN PETERSON

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 1 Cor 13:11

A man without a vision is a man without a future, and a man destined to return to his past. 

Pain makes you stronger, tears make you braver, heartbreak makes you wiser, so give thanks to the past it has taught you how to have a better future. 

MAN OF GOD

The man of God should hunger and thirst for righteousness (Matt 5:6). He will live with honesty before God and honesty before people. Be right with God, and be fair and just in your dealings with people.

Men of God love God and serve Him with a reverent fear (Heb 12:28)

“To live a life of faith . . . is to live in a state of relaxed desperation. The man of God is desperate, because of the tremendous weight of responsibility his ministry entails, yet he is relaxed because of his confidence in the sovereignty of God.” MacArthur

Be an example of Christ in the way you love people 

fidem fortitudine vincimus 
(By faith and endurance we conquer) 

In Latin fortis means strong in body (physically strong) and strong in mind (mentally strong). A “mentally strong” person is one that does not have fear (therefore fortis can mean “brave”) and one that has willpower (therefore fortis can mean “steadfast”). The word fortitudo includes all those meanings and it is difficult to translate in English, because no English word has them all.

Display gentleness not violence (1 Tim 3:3)

Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can’t strike them all by ourselves
