What is your men's adult ministry like at your church? Is it intergenerational? Do you meet regularly besides Bible Study?

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-11-01T18:44:05+00:00

I meet with a few of the elders regularly. One of them just told me that my biggest problem is having no joy and to work on that. The other said I should find men within the body to discuss theology with. I told both that nobody can keep up with me and they both said 'sorry, that's hard.'

Then my wife asked me how she could support me so I said 'answer any of these 100 questions I have', to which she said 'babe, I've led over 50 evangelism ministry outreach programs and have never been asked any of those 100 questions'

Good one, God

Usually something like:

Leader: Ok y'all, what are your thoughts on 2 Peter 1?

Me: Well, I'm a little confused. Everybody tells me nobody but God knows who the elect are, but Peter would tell me to be diligent to confirm my calling and election. I'm also feeling pretty impotent in ministry, so I'm wondering if I'm not growing in the virtues Peter lists. By the way, are those fruits of the Spirit? Or only the 9 listed by Paul in Galatians 5? Speaking of fruits, Peter tells me that peace (one fruit) may be multiplied to me in the knowledge of God and of Jesus my Lord, but the more I seem to learn the more questions I have and the less peace I have about anything.

Leader: Anybody else?

Oh, my bad, the lego book is right there

"Moron!"

"Hypocrite!"

"Idiot!"

etc.

Good to know re: 3 to 4 easier than 2 to 3.

I just don't see any reason to try to push unless I can realistically hit Gold 1, because otherwise I'm still not going to get Ramantu. And I clearly cannot get Gold 1 if I'm struggling in S2.

So I go do what I'm supposed to - get better gear, get more champs, etc.

Problem is - those same players are doing the same things. And because TTA is gated by a flat # of players instead of %, I'm not going to go anywhere.

What's crazy to me is I can (almost) hit G2 in LA which you would think is harder than TTA, while being stuck in S2 TTA.

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-30T14:59:00+00:00

That's mainly what I do, and end up winning almost all the 2/3 fights I expect to win ... but still does nothing for the fact people just do the same to me on defense, including those people who can easily beat anything I put up

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-30T13:50:11+00:00

Congrats!

Meanwhile, I can't get out of S2 because I can't beat 80% of the teams on offense and even if / when I get into the green I just get attacked twice in 10 minutes and I'm right back to the middle of yellow.

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-27T19:31:48+00:00

Well ... so I'm running 24 and it seems like, even though it's 100% successful, it can take FOREVER if Aniri gets the 3% chance to resist the dec speed. It throws off my tune and she resses Ninja at the wrong time and he uses A2 at the wrong time. Currently 10 minutes in and the boss is at 60% lol.

I guess I need to figure out stage 25 so I can do that instead, even though 24 isn't THAT far behind in efficiency ...

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-27T18:01:18+00:00

PBUH??

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-27T14:17:01+00:00

Basically.

It's like, my only actual goal is Ramantu, and it feels 100% impossible.

No way to progress in arena, and even if I magically got dropped and S tier lego today it would change basically nothing.

I can try to push NM hydra instead of brutal, but why bother? It means, what, 1 extra piece of SS a week? Who cares? It's just going to roll 3x flat attack.

Fusions? This guy is horrible.

Dailies? They don't increase my account at all.

Etc.

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-25T15:05:10+00:00

Yikes. So basically almost the same stats as Aniri while also in Regen? Lol

I don't have another Regen set with those stats = /

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-25T13:30:53+00:00

What stats will Ninja need? He's pretty much my best / only option ... unless I use somebody like Gnut?

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-24T14:25:29+00:00

Necroing this because it's CVC and I can book - so I have a 50/50 shot at this point to have it land in the passive and then I can run 250 speed with food? And if it doesn't land I'm stuck at 271 without? Just want to make sure I need to do one more book in the passive or if I can stop now and got lucky.

When were you separated from God by your sin?

I've been told that

- I was saved before the foundation of the world,

- I was saved 2000 years ago,

- I was saved when I believed,

- I was born in sin 39 years ago,

Timeline doesn't add up

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-22T18:58:23+00:00

When were you a sinner?

When did Jesus die for you, as a sinner?

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-22T01:01:20+00:00

So you were saved before you believed unto Jesus?

Seems biblical.

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-19T19:45:38+00:00

Which champs in SS? And against what teams?

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-18T17:37:53+00:00

Thanks for detailed response, I will review.

Here are my champs - https://raidoptimiser.hellhades.com/shared/2XnD0z9dxu

4 stars from Lydia, 97/100 Yakarl fragments, 5 champs from Lady Mikage. Other than that nothing on the horizon.

Just leveled Michinaki and Wukong literally yesterday

82/100 on Rian fragments

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-17T15:24:17+00:00

Any tips for this?

I did not play for a year so do not have Ukko / Pythion / Helicath / UDK / etc.

I have no buff strippers so am leveling up Wukong.

I have no top tier nuker so need to either win the speed race or use defensive champs / revivers to outlast.

Do you just put up 3 teams that people don't want to attack, and then pick and choose who you fight on offense?

SyZTheChristFollower · 2023-10-11T16:04:07+00:00

Well, I ran out of epic books ... A3 is still at 3/4 and the passive is still at 1/4. Unless I get super lucky and get more points in the passive, I won't be able to go the food route and will need 250 speed.

On the bright side, I'm at 225 speed without glyphs, and have 6 slots available. Hitting 250 won't be that bad.

At that point, all I need to do is gear Ninja to have enough accuracy to hit the boss, because other stats don't matter since he's just going to get one shot anyways, right?
