50 Day Challenge Week 2

This is the 2nd week of the 50 day challenge.  It is 50 challenges in 50 days, each designed for you to grow closer to God and encourage Men to become the spiritual leader of your family, work, church, community and sphere of influence.

If you're like me, you had trouble with Week 1.  Either you missed a day or forgot about part of it.  I did both.  Don't be discouraged.  We are slowly trying to change habits.  It is a challenge and is not supposed to be easy.  It is meant to stretch you and get you out of your comfort zone.  Do the very best you can each day.

Here are the Week 2 Challenges:

• Find a new scripture to memorize. - You don't have to memorize it this week, but find a verse or passage that speaks to you and commit it to memory so that you can use it as a spiritual weapon.

• Identify obstacles holding you back from fully pursuing God. - If you know what is holding you back, you can do something about it.  

• Seek Accountability - You can't overcome those obstacles on your own.  If you could you would have already done it.  Seek help from other Men, a spiritual mentor, a small group, a support group, or Celebrate Recovery.  You CANNOT do it alone.

• Ask your wife to pray for you during these 50 Days. - Trust me, if she knows about it she already is.  But the simple action of you asking is huge.

• Ask your wife "How can I pray for you this week?" and follow up. - If you ask this question, I can almost guarantee that you will find out something about your wife that you didn't know.  As you pray for her your heart will draw closer to her.  Then a day or few later follow up with her to see how things went.

• Do one thing for your wife/family members based on their love language.  - The best way to show love to your family is through the way they like to receive love.  Make sure you and your family take that survey at 5lovelanguages.com so you can maximize your opportunities.
