			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I describe John Eldredge as a pioneer in men&#8217;s-ministry. He has helped move many a man from a passive role in life to being a man fully alive. This is what he writes on fear:</p>
<p>&#8220;Because we bear the image of God in our strength, because we are a &#8217;stem of that victorious stock,&#8217; there&#8217;s one thing we all know: We are made to <em>come through</em>. And yet we wonder, <em>Can I? Will I?</em> When the going gets rough, when it really matters, can I really pull it off? That is why every man shares the same core fear of being exposed, being &#8220;found out,&#8221; that something will happen and he&#8217;ll be revealed to be an impostor, and not really a man. Are you aware of that fear? Where would you hate to be called upon to come through, because you don&#8217;t know whether or not you can come through?&#8221; (Wild at Heart Field Manual. pg 62)</p>
<p>Those questions are at the core of Awaken the Giant.  As men, we must be willing to &#8220;come through&#8221;, no matter how fearful it may be.  I can assure on the other side of the fear is not what we imagine. It is glorious victory, but few men ever experience it because of fear.  So, I leave you with Eldredge one more time, &#8220;&#8221;Where would you hate to be called upon to come through?&#8221;</p>
<p>Let there be no rest until the fight is over,</p>
<p>Lance</p>
