Tribe Talk

You were created by the Creator to create something only you can create… With the advancement of technology, our computer and phone have sadly replaced our hammer and chisel. The ringing of hammer on anvil has been replaced by the tic-tac-tic of our computer keys. Yet, the fact is, we are men, and we were born to create. … b/c you are a craftsman

We once had a drive and passion to learn, grow, touch, feel, smell, taste and hear. We did this because we had an insatiable curiosity of the world around us. We wanted to find out more. We sought after knowledge because we had an innate desire given to us by God to know and understand. We once wanted to see what this world had to offer and not miss it. 
How much time do we spend sitting down and...

Many believe the concept of a man as a warrior is an outdated, old belief that only knuckle-draggers still hold close to their hearts. Whether we want to believe it or not, spiritual warfare is real and the enemy is looking to devour and destroy. We are human and therefore we are part of the fight. By nature, we are protectors and defenders and we don’t always have to pick up a sword and shield to...

In the final section of the human performance talk, we get practical about stepping forward. By implementing a few tactics each day, we can step into a compounding effect that multiplies our growth. (Pro tip: Ben Franklin— who created his own Junto— said that compounding interest is one of the most powerful forces on the planet. It doesn’t just work in banking, it works in life too!) Here's how...

The gains— in any area of human performance— are found in the grind of the daily work. However, apart from a purpose, this process seems bleak and boring sometimes… But, when we tap into a purpose, things change.

“As a man thinketh, so is he…” Turns out, it’s somewhat true. The gains we make in human performance are largely determined by our belief structure.

Your physical strength is only part of human performance. In short bonus episode, pulled from a longer talk, Mike introduces us to the concept of human performance. Here’s what to listen for— 🔥 We don’t know the limits of human performance 🔥 You must move out of your comfort zone in order to grow… 🔥 Performance involves being able to “perform” in the right environment…. Consider the final point...

We were born for a special purpose. Every one of us! We all have a unique skill set made up of our strengths, resources, talents, passions and gifts. These gifts were given to us by our Creator to use and serve the world around us.

If you have accepted Jesus into your life, you must understand that you are a disciple of His and that there are responsibilities of great importance that come with that. Being a follower of Jesus is not just an insurance policy or a way to make all our problems go away. It’s about doing the world’s most important work.

Junto was created as a need… Mike was searching for purpose, and he began meeting with other men. He realized most men have common struggles. Moreover, he found a solution: do it together. Here's how it happened, and why...

Kingdom men don’t quit. They’re relentless. They— 👉 Discover who they are (and continuing to walk in that identity— because if you don’t know who you are, you’ll seek that affirmation in the wrong places, from spaces that can’t make you whole) 👉 Define their area of operations— the space God has them stewarding right now (which changes and develops over time, depending on your age and life stati...

In the military, AO (Area of Operations) is the acronym used to quantify and qualify the domain that a military unit is responsible for. 🔥   Similarly, you and I have an AO we’re responsible for— We are to bring the presence & power of the Holy Spirit into each area over which we have stewardship— our family, our health, our work, our neighborhood…

God created you in love. That’s important to grasp, because the design of something ALWAYS and defines what that thing is here to do. You know some of the cliches— ❌ Screen doors were made to let wind in— that makes them horrible for submarines and arctic areas. ❌ Solar-powered cells on emergency flash lights… might needs a redraft. You… ✅ Were created in LOVE, which means… ✅ You carry the cap...

Welcome to the Tribe. As we roll out the new podcast, we thought it would be wise to define who we are, what we do, and why we do it. Junto is a thriving group of Kingdom-driven men committed to— 👉 Discovering who they are (and continuing to walk in that identity— because if you don’t know who you are, you’ll seek that affirmation in the wrong places, from spaces that can’t make you whole) 👉 Def...
