Colossians 3:12-15

"Therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and dearly loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive. Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. And let the peace of Christ, to which you were also called in one body, rule your hearts. And be thankful."

I want to prompt the questions with this verse (and there's many more) about the nature of the Christian man. We tend to focus so much on the masculine endeavors of our nature: toughness, leadership, endurance, etc..

Yet we miss the boat with these gentler qualities.

Now, the dudes in this group, I believe, seek after these things listed in scripture, but where does our desire to be the warrior live? How do we navigate our strength? How can we be truly meek, having the ability to be dangerous, yet utilize self-control in everything?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, fellas!
