If you dont have this book, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.ransomedheart.com/RH_Ministries_Store/detail.aspx?ID=22"&gt;Wild at Heart&lt;/a&gt;, get it.  We are going to start diving into what it means to be an authentic Man of God.  Everyone of us has that calling, that longing for an adventure.  We all have a beauty who wants to be rescued.  We all have that craving to go to the battlefield, with our brothers and fight.  I want us to band together, jump in the trenches and really learn about each other.  I want to be able to tell your story.  I want you to know mine.

An &lt;strong&gt;Adventure&lt;/strong&gt; to live. A &lt;strong&gt;Beauty&lt;/strong&gt; to rescue. This is what a man longs for. This is what makes him come alive. Look at the films men love. For that matter, look at the dreams of little boys, the games they play. There is something fierce, passionate, and wild in the heart of every man. That is how he bears the image of God. And the reason that most men "live lives of quiet desperation" (Thoreau) is because men have been told that the reason God put them on earth is to be a good boy. To be nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God designed men to be dangerous. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires— aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a nice guy. It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, in all your boyhood dreams growing up, did you ever dream of becoming a nice guy? Ladies, was the Prince of your dreams dashing . . . or merely nice? "We've taken away the dreams of a man's heart and told him to play the man." As C.S. Lewis said, 'We castrate the gelding and bid him be fruitful."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Taken from &lt;a href="http://www.ransomedheart.com"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663300;"&gt;ransomedheart.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26684588-114601707627194950?l=bandedbrothers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bandedbrothers.blogspot.com/feeds/114601707627194950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26684588&amp;postID=114601707627194950&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26684588/posts/default/114601707627194950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26684588/posts/default/114601707627194950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bandedbrothers.blogspot.com/2006/04/band-of-brothers.html' title='Band of Brothers'/><author><name>Justin Long</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zFynnJuZnfk/S5iWmFxHNZI/AAAAAAAADzs/itapbSFB99U/S220/avakinley.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
