Powerful things are happening in our neck of the woods!
This weekend we resumed a men's discipleship cohort known as "Yokefellows." The name comes from a Greek word found in Philippians 4:3 -- σύζυγος, which is translated "true companion" in most Bible translations, but also "yokefellow" in some. There's so much rich imagery in scripture around the idea of a yoke (such as Matthew 11:28-30). Back in January, these gents latched onto the idea of being dedicated to one another in shared purpose -- becoming more like Jesus.
It was beautiful to listen as the 8 men who have been meeting with us since January told the 2 new guys about how much their lives, families, & personal ministry were impacted by sharing one anothers burdens, praying for one another, studying the Word, and reading & practicing the spiritual disciplines.
I ask you to pray for these 10 men as they dig in to what it means to be a disciple and make disciples this Fall. This week, we resume our reading of Donald Whitney's Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life with the chapter on fasting. It will be a fun one to practice together!
