WHAT IS STAND COURAGEOUS?

A ministry that seeks to help men develop a strong biblical character, cultivate positive habits, build and rebuild relationships, and make commitments that will move men closer to God’s good purpose and design – men who will Stand Courageous!

“God is zeroing in on men. In this hour we need men who are strong... when we have weak men, our children are left unprotected.” 
Tony Perkins
 “Man is the spiritual head of the family. You take out the man, you take out the family.”
General Jerry Boykin
“When men get it right, everyone wins.”
Stu Weber
“The women in your churches don’t know how to tell you, but they really want you to
be a man.”
Bishop Larry Jackson

WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL

Week of Monday November 24 – November 30
Anchor Man – Man as Battle Buddy

“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.  For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love… Therefore, I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.” - 2 Peter 1:3-7, 12 ESV

My Battle Buddy Dr. Stu Weber in his book Tender Warrior, which he allowed us to excerpt for our Stand Courageous ministry to men, offers an insightful illustration I want to pass along:

I first learned the word piton in the same Army Ranger school… We did some tension climbing, where we would climb on vertical surfaces with nothing above us to pull us up, and with rope fed through snap links. The piton is a little anchor bolt. We would find a crack in the wall face, drive this piton into the rock, put the snap link on it, and pass the safety rope through it. That way, we knew we would never fall below that point. We might fall—because we were doing some unbelievable things—but the piton would catch us. We wouldn’t fall any further than the anchor in the rock. So, what is a piton of friendship? It’s a relationship principle that you can count on. It is an anchor bolt in a relationship that will bear your weight, that will hold you up when you find your fingers are slipping. There are other elements in a friendship, of course, but these are basic anchors. You don’t want to fall below these levels.”

In other words, we must serve other men in this same way. Like a piton anchored in a rock.
