Finding Connections, Accountability, and Quiet Time
Joe Avery
Amid my life’s most difficult season, I came to a saving faith in the person and work of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My passion for the Lord and desire for biblical knowledge, understanding, and wisdom caused a pleasantly insatiable craving to draw nearer to Him; however, I was not equipped with the necessary skills to efficiently and purposefully learn about Jesus, His Scriptures, and practical application.
Fortunately, Every Man A Warrior (EMAW) provides me the framework to learn and hone skills that enable me to interpret and understand God’s Word. One of the best features of EMAW is the fellowship with other like-minded men. I have formed several strong, deep-rooted connections with outstanding men of God who offer encouragement, accountability, and brotherly love. Another gift in this journey has been learning the rhythm of Quiet Time—a simple, structured way of sitting with God’s Word. It invites us to slow down, explore Scripture in its original setting, grasp its truth, and listen for how the Lord is shaping our hearts and daily steps through it.
Recently, my EMAW group advanced to Book Three of the four book curriculum, a milestone otherwise unachievable without the Lord’s transformative work in each of our hearts—all the glory and honor and power be to Jesus! Before committing to EMAW, I couldn’t recite a single verse by memory. After beginning EMAW in Book One, I have memorized 21 versus! Throughout daily encounters in the world, I am confident and ready to recite those Scriptures to advance God’s kingdom and as a weapon against the enemy. I pray more men will join EMAW.
