Think you've drifted too far for God to want you back? You haven't. In this video I share how I drifted from God, how He brought me home, and how you can give your life to Jesus today.

If you prayed with me, type "I'm home" in the comments. I'll pray for you by name.

Your next steps this week:

1. Tell one person you gave your life to Jesus.
2. Walk through the Romans Road below.
3. Find a local church that teaches the Bible. Go this Sunday.
4. Read the Gospel of John, one chapter a day.
5. Ask that church about baptism.

THE ROMANS ROAD A simple way to understand salvation, and to share it with someone else.

1. The problem. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
   
   
2. The cost. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
   
   
3. The love. Romans 5:8 "But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
   
   
4. The response. Romans 10:9 to 10 "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved."
   
   
5. The promise. Romans 10:13 "For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
   
   
6. The freedom. Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
   
   

Save this. Share it with a man who feels too far gone.

Those words aren't magic. Salvation is a heart turned toward Jesus. And it doesn't end with one prayer. God keeps changing us for the rest of our lives. I'm far from perfect, and He's still working on me too.

Scriptures: Luke 15:20, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:8, Ephesians 2:8 to 9, Romans 10:9 to 13, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 8:1, Philippians 1:6

Pinned comment:

If you prayed that prayer today, reply "I'm home." I want to pray for you by name. Then start with John chapter 1 tomorrow morning. Welcome home.

James ends his letter with the one thing most men refuse to do.

Tell another man the truth about yourself.

In this final Resilient Disciple study through the book of James, Joey Koontz walks through James chapter 5 and why your faith was never meant to be a private account you manage alone.

What we cover:

✔ The warning to the man who trusts his money (James 5:1 to 6)

✔ Being patient like a farmer waiting on his crop

✔ Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no

✔ James 5:16, the most skipped verse in the letter

✔ Elijah, an ordinary man whose prayers God answered

✔ Going after a brother who has wandered from the truth

Joey also shares the story of the man who refused to let him go when he drifted from God.

Your challenge this week:

Call one brother. Not a group text. One specific man. Tell him something true. Not the Facebook version. The real thing you've been carrying alone.

Question for you: Who is the one man who knows the real version of you?

Don't have that man yet? Don't wait. Join Brotherhood Forged: bro4ged.com

Next week: Why You Can't Stop Worrying (And How to Stop)

Consider it joy. Let your faith work. Tame your tongue. Get humble. And don't do any of it alone.

Now go live it.

Every fight you've ever had traces back to the same root. With your wife. Your friend. Your church. James 4 says it isn't the other guy. It's what's happening inside you before the argument even starts. In this Resilient Disciple Bible study, Joey Koontz walks through James chapter 4 and the one word James gives as the cure. What we cover: ✔ Why you actually fight (James 4:1 to 3) ✔ How even your prayers can run selfish ✔ God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6) ✔ Submit to God, resist the devil, draw near to God ✔ Planning your future like God's not in the room ✔ James 4:17, the verse most of us skip Joey also shares what two rounds of cancer taught him about who really owns tomorrow. Your challenge this week: Pick the one relationship where you've been fighting or quietly judging. Before you say a word, ask yourself what you wanted that you didn't get. Then go make it right instead of making your case. Question for you: Where has pride been running the show in your life lately? Need men who'll call you out when pride takes over?
