Well, howdy is Ashley Chase here, the executive director of Real Faith Ministries, which I get to run with my parents' pastor Mark and Grace.

If you want to be the first to receive exclusive content and updates from Real Faith, and my parents' Bible teaching, you can text Real to 99383.

You'll get e-books, sermons, videos, and more sent straight to your phone every week to keep you from sliding into heresy and apostasy. You're welcome.

That's Real to 99383. And if you're strengthened, encouraged, and built up by my parents' teaching, consider partnering with us at RealFaith.com. Every dollar you give reaches 100 people with the gospel.

Alright, best night of the week. Best place to be. Best guys in town. Amen. Hey, welcome to Real Man. We're honored to have you. We love you. We're excited to see you. And if you guys are new, you just made an incredibly good decision.

You're surrounded with the best guys. Amen. We're in this together, gentlemen. The world has lost whatever is left of its freaking mind. And we are the last guns at the Alamo for sanity. Amen.

Alright, so welcome to Real Man. And thank you to everyone who's joining us online. And let me say, we are here to build men up to blessed women and children. And so if you are here, you are here because you matter.

You matter to me. You matter to our church. You matter to our leaders. You matter to our God. Men, your life matters. Your marriage matters. Your kids matter. Your grandkids matter. Your legacy matters. Your business matters. And if we can get them in, I'm convinced we can win the war. So thank you for giving the honor of being with us.

Tonight, what we're doing is a little series on spiritual disciplines for regular guys. And so disciplines are just sort of healthy habits. How many of you guys have some healthy habits for your body? Right? We're in my gym, bros. Where are you?

Protein shake, take top, ax body spray, bros. Where are you guys at? You got some healthy habits. We still love you, man. We're praying for you. You know, we're all in process. No judgment.

But please, just, you know, get a towel on in the locker room. Anyways, some of you guys have got some healthy habits for your body. And oftentimes we don't know how to have healthy habits for our soul.

You're a body and a soul. Most men take better care of their body than they do their soul. And so for us, the spiritual disciplines are what are some healthy habits for your soul? And so today we're going to look at two. And then we're going to spend time around the table and in prayer.

And let me say this, your table leads are the best of the best guys. They love you. They pray for you. They're going to pray for you tonight.

They'll follow up with you this week. If you need guys to come alongside, these are the guys who are here to help. And we want to be the guys that if you need a job, we want to help you find a job.

If you want to get married, we're going to help you not marry Satan's ex wife. Get the right girl. Get it lined up. Get it teed up enough to a good start.

You want to be a dad. We're here to help you learn how to be a dad. You want to figure out your finances. We're here to help you want to buy a house.

Mortgage brokers are here. You want to start a company. Those guys are in the room. We're here to do life together. And we're here to do life better.

And part of that starts just individually pursuing what I'm going to call the spiritual disciplines are healthy habits.

The two today are what I'll call prayer and activism. And there are notes at realfaith.com. And if you're a note taker, you can find it all there.

In this regard, prayer is preparing us to then be active. And I was thinking about it. My first two pastors as a new Christian were bow hunters.

And if you guys bow hunters, all right, yeah, it's great. You guys, it's good to eat protein that you've killed. That's just a general good rule.

So my first two pastors, one was a guy who was, he was a Navy vet. My second pastor was a big guy. African American look like Mr. T played linebacker for a bit for the Dallas Cowboys. And they both love to bow hunt.
