Becoming Men After God's Own Heart: Introduction (RAISING THE STANDARD)
Show Notes

He raised up David to be their king, of whom he testified and said, “I have found in David the son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.”  Acts 13:22

We are spending the next several weeks on the podcast talking to a specific audience:  Christian men.  If there is a demographic within the church that I have felt most specifically called to reach, it would be Christian men.  To seek a path in life that brings the Lord glory and is directed by Him.  To tell them to lead well as husbands and fathers; in a Christ-honoring way.  To come to the end of life knowing you led well and you have much left to impart to the generations that follow.  This series attempts to hit all of these areas and cause men to consider the weight of the call they have in Christ.  We model David, as he in turn modeled Christ:  he was a man after God's own heart.  This episode serves as an introduction and sets the stage for what follows.  Will you join me?
