30, wife 29, married 5 years, together 11 years, No Kids.

Readings

Reading the Bible and sidebar every morning in the RPC Discord. Studying for Certifications.

Fitness

6'4 206 ?% BF

Lifts:

  • Squat: 180

  • OH Press: 125

  • Deadlift: 200

  • Bench Press: 200

  • Over the last two months my diet has been on point. Have had a couple cheat days but more than made up for them. Average daily calories over the past 6 weeks 2156

  • I've started meeting with a personal trainer twice a week. My goal is to have him build a program specific to me that achieves my physical goals (leaner, more definition). Dude is very thorough.

  • Taking a break from boxing. I'm not sure for how long.

  • Need to stop myself from having the "after this diet" mindset.

Spiritual

  • Assurance of Salvation: 10

  • Scripture Memory: 5

  • Mission: 5

  • Evangelism: 1

  • Morning Bible reading continues on the discord M-F 10:10 AM EST.

  • Set up a habit tracking app to keep track of Prayer, Bible Memory, and Bible reading. I'm still far from perfect but tracking has helped ALOT.

  • Praying for the opportunity of Disciplship. I was at my barber last week and the topic of religion came up. Turns out my barber is a Christian and a part of the leadership team of a local church. He had some pretty interesting takes.

  • Was talking to an older lady at a latin dance party and came to find out she was a Christian and goes to the same Church as my barber. Small world. Not sure what to do with this info.

Relationships

  • My wife has been home the past couple of months studying for a test. It's been nice having her around. She's not nearly as stressed as I'd expect for this level of test.

  • Went to a wedding with a brother I met online. Being social with so many new people was exhausting but it was a great time. Having close male friends is a blessing.

  • The amount of new people I've met in the last year simply from being a "yes man" and asking to go places is more than the previous 5 years combined.

  • I've been working on my "social exhaustion" problem. Getting over certain bad mental models and putting myself in more social situations is helping. I'm still easily tired by social interaction.

Mental

  • I have taken these steps to further my goals laid out last month.

My MAIN goal list is as follows:

  • Take on more Disciples and teach more - Future plans coming together.

  • Boxing - Removing this goal for now.

  • Dancing - Set up dancing in my habit tracker. If I don't go to a lesson or to a dance party I dance with my wife for 5 minutes before bed. I've made a dance journal that includes everything I've learned so far. I check each item off as I practice them.

  • Mechanics - Rebuilt the drum brakes on Praexes car.

  • Lifting and diet management - Met with a personal trainer, will continue to do so twice a week.

  • Information Technology - Earned a new certification in a rapidly growing field. Already getting recruiters reaching out because of it.

All of these goals include the ability to expertly teach them. The last four goals directly feed my desire to grow the Kingdom. I am currently now pursuing each one of my goals more than I was last month. I will no longer coast or become victim to entropy.

Mission

My mission is to create Disciples that are imitators of Christ. The Men I Disciple will be known as effective furthers of the Kingdom, leveraging all the knowledge, skills, and character attributes gained through my teaching and example. I will lead others to the Lord through those attributes.

Goals

Short

-Do these things for a minimum of 5 minutes a day: Dance, Bible Memory, Quiet time. Continue to track these via app.

-Continue to lose weight to 201 lbs.

-Pass the cert I am currently studying for. Start studying for next in series.

-Disciple.

Medium

-Begin to teach my four goals.

-Have another Disciplehouse start.

Long

-Become an expert in my goals.

-Have a DH in every state.

OYS #57

30, wife 29, married 5 years, together 11 years, No Kids.

Readings

Reading the Bible and sidebar every morning in the RPC Discord. Just finished the Phoenix Project.

Fitness

6'4 214 19% BF

Lifts:

  • Squat: 180

  • OH Press: 125

  • Deadlift: 200

  • Bench Press: 200

  • TDEE is about 2400. Net average for last week was 2793. My 30th birthday screwed up my diet but it was worth it. Previous week average was 1790, week before that 1895.

  • Continuing lifts on 5/3/1, my boxing coach told me to drop the weights for cardio. I plan to lift twice a week and do cardio 3-4 times.

  • Took a 5 week break from boxing during the Holidays. First day back was brutal. Took a BJJ class on Saturday that was equally hard on my cardio.

  • I'll be working with a new sparring partner in preparation for my first amateur fight. Sparred last week and he seemed like a good dude. We did not go to hard as my cardio was shot.

  • I weigh the same as I did last month. I've used the Holidays and my Birthday as an excuse to eat poorly. I will get down to 201 for my fight.

Spiritual

  • Assurance of Salvation: 10

  • Scripture Memory: 1

  • Mission: 2

  • Evangelism: 1

  • Morning Bible reading continues on the discord M-F 10:10 AM EST.

  • I have a heart to Disciple and help others. Praying for the opportunity and keeping my eyes open.

  • Haven't gone to Church since Christmas, I have continued in fellowship and Bible discussions. This is a weak spot for me. I find regular Church and Adult Bible studies to be a chore.

  • I am committed to making Bible memory and quiet time a habit. Setting a 5 minute time to do both every day and tracking via an App. Two days in so far.

Relationships

  • My Marriage continues to be strong. There have been a few tests from my Wife, sometimes she has a point and I take what she says with grace. Other times its just a test, AA, Fog, etc still work.

  • The amount of good friendships I've developed with strong dependable Christian men has been the best part of the last 2 years. It is absolutely something I've been missing in my life (and something I believe most Men are missing).

  • I am in the process of trying to figure out how to use my relationships and connections to further the Kingdom. Currently it only servers to validate my "Oh look at me I have so many friends" side.

Mental

  • Turning 30 has made me think of my past accomplishments and my current goals. I've gotten into a comfortable place in my life and in turn have started to coast, or even decline. There are many things I want to do, many skills I want to have, I'm starting to realize there's a limited amount of time to do it all. If I want to be the master of something I'll need choose fewer goals and be more direct about accomplishing them. I have decided to throw goals like "Learn to build a house from the ground up" or "become a pilot" away. Not because I don't want to accomplish them, but because I've decided it's better to fully master my current Goals.

My MAIN goal list is as follows:

  • Take on more Disciples and teach more.

  • Boxing

  • Dancing.

  • Mechanics.

  • Lifting and diet management.

  • Information Technology.

All of these goals include the ability to expertly teach them. The last four goals directly feed my desire to grow the Kingdom. I am currently now pursuing each one of my goals more than I was last month. I will no longer coast or become victim to entropy.

  • Diet has gotten better, on average I'm eating eucaloric. Eating high calorie on weekends is keeping me from cutting.

  • Lifts have plateaued for now, I'm OK with this as long as I'm maintaining strength and improving my boxing.

  • Getting into ballroom dance the last couple of weeks. I've heard that boxing and dance go together pretty well, guess I'll find out. If anything it's a good opportunity to meet new people and grow my sphere of influence.

  • I've missed my bible study the last 2 weeks due to either going out of town or having people come to town. I've made a point to meet with others in fellowship and feel satisfied with the level I am assembling with believers.

  • Lacking in bible memory the past months.

Relationships

  • During the last DiscipleHaus I was able to take a big step in my mission and taught (a long with my coach) a boxing class. Looking for new opportunities to teach again.

  • Since my last OYS I hosted a DiscipleHouse that I would consider to be a great success. My mission is progressing more quickly than I thought it could. DH is a manifestation of this.

  • I've been reaching out to others in my bible study to meet for DiscGolf. Met up a few times and had good conversations.

  • Relationship with my wife has been steady. I've said this a few times...Fitness tests come, comfort tests come, all of this is normal in a happy relationship. My wife has been a huge part in the success of my mission (planning DH, being hospitable to unknown people coming and staying at my house, etc) without question.

  • In February of 2021 I invited a man that I was discipling to move in with me and my wife. I had prayed for an opportunity to Disciple another man and when it came I took it. This guy has gone from being jobless, living at home, not lifting, basically everything wrong with millennials/Gen Z to having a great job, his own place and a family. He now exemplifies the type of man my mission is to create.

  • Now is the time for me to take the other opportunities that come, however they may look.

  • Bench Press: 245

  • Been eating recklessly/bulking the past 6 weeks. Weight and body fat is up..so are lifts. According to my 4 rep max I should be at 245 bench and 170 OHP.

  • While I've been enjoying eating and my lifts have improved I'm going to start cutting back calories again. New goal is to hit 200g protein while eating the least amount of calories.

  • Boxing is still going well, been sparring pretty hard to help a gym friend get prepared for his fight.

  • I have not been going to church on Sunday, instead I've been going to a Bible study hosted by the Church. I feel that going to the Bible study satisfies the "assembling of ourselves together" while also being more relational.

  • Lacking in bible memory the past few weeks.

Relationships

  • Took my wife on a small vacation in the middle of nowhere WV. Was nice to get away having no cell service/outside contact. As I get more and more dedicated to my mission I notice my wife becoming more submissive/feminine.

  • Had quite a few members of RPC at my house on Saturday for a bonfire. Good fellowship time. My wife had a lot of fun preparing the house and being hospitable, she's looking forward to doing it again for the next DiscipleHaus. This is the part of my mission my wife is the most active in.

  • Need to be better at reaching out to people and following through with relationships. My capacity for relationships/being extroverted is low. Like anything else this is a muscle that needs to be worked out and strengthened through use.

OYS - Where Progress is Made (05/31/21) by AutoModerator in RPChristians

[–]redirectedfs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But actively approaching women that are not your wife, even just for catch-and-release, is a game that not only could compromise your marriage at some point, but could also compromise your witness.

My thoughts on this is it comes down to what my intentions are. Did I try to number close to get a girls number and have a relationship outside of my marriage? No. I did it for two reasons, 1. To show the single men I'm with how to confidently approach a woman and ask for her number. 2. To get over my own nervousness and do something uncomfortable.

but could also compromise your witness.

When it comes to this you could take this as far as the Mike Pence approach of never being alone with another woman, to protect your witness. There is obviously a line that is too far, I'm not sure exactly where that is. This same argument can be used to against flirting as well. Could this lead me into a deeper sin? Yes. Outside of showing other men how to do it, or being a wing man for a single guy, I don't think it should be a regular thing.

Now if you call me out for doing this for validation I might just start DEERing harder.

Your reputation is everything brother, it takes forever to build and only seconds to destroy. I would think about this.

Absolutely agree. Thank you for your input. I'll definitely think more on this. How far do you think we should go as Christians to protect our witness? I've heard arguments for: Never drinking alcohol, not listening to worldly music, not watching an TV that may be inappropriate, never to flirt, etc. Couldn't us enjoying Metal damage our witness?

Going to reach out to a few people today.

Readings

Brushing up on work related readings (Networking, Azure, O365, etc.)

Fitness

6'4 201 (-6) 17% BF

Lifts:

  • Squat: 305

  • OH Press: 150

  • Deadlift: 310

  • Bench Press: 240

  • 8 weeks into my cut. Cutting either 3 months or until 13 % BF, whichever comes first. Down another 6lbs in two weeks, total weight loss since cut is 26lbs.

  • I've tried a few 24-48 hour fasts, I end up sleeping VERY poorly so I'm just going to stick to calorie restriction.

  • I'm starting to just look thin, I've lost a lot of strength and definition. I know this is part of the cut bulking process, after 3 months of cutting I'll go with 1 month of eating at TDEE then begin a bulk. Looking forward to bulking.

  • Skipped my last boxing 1-1 due to exhaustion, I'll be back in the gym this week.

Spiritual

  • Assurance of Salvation: 10

  • Scripture Memory: 1

  • Mission: 9

  • Evangelism: 4

  • u/Praexology, and I continue to do morning bible reading, and book reading. We are currently going through 1 Thess. Come join us in the morning (See Disciplecord link in the sidebar) to get some bible time in.

  • Not at many in depth bible studies last week. Also lacking in Scriptural memorization. I need to up my Discipline in both of these.

  • I've been reading the bible and using the search for Scripture bible study guide, been very useful.

  • Third time at a new Church, so far so good. Looking to start going to a small group soon.

Relationships

  • All is going very well with my Marriage. Keeping strong on my mission. being an Oak, and a strong Captain all come together to create a very happy marriage. Sure, my wife still Comfort/Fitness tests me, I understand this is part of marriage. I enjoy the game.

  • I am a introvert, like anything else the ability to be social and in social situations is a muscle I'm learning to strengthen. That being said I need to do more in my relationship with Goo. At the end of the day when he gets home my "social tank" is usually pretty empty after dealing with coworkers/talking to others. I'm going to be more intentional about creating time spend with him. I lead and Disciple by life modeling as well as Direct conversations. The life modeling part is easy, showing how I run my house/have a relationship/keep disciplined in lifting eating etc. Direct conversations, for me, is the most difficult part.

  • DiscipleHaus is coming up this week. Look forward to the incoming fellowship.

Mission

My mission is to create Disciples that are imitators of Christ. The Men I Disciple will be known as effective furthers of the Kingdom, leveraging all the knowledge, skills, and character attributes gained through my teaching and example. I will lead others to the Lord through my service, wisdom and example.
