Description

Episode Summary. Today, we begin a series entitled, Building the Mental Toughness of Jesus—a challenge more significant and tougher than traveling to the south pole. For, our opponent is not the outer elements of the physical world, but the inner Goliath of the SELF, whose many faces--self-centeredness, self-preoccupation, self-absorption, self-indulgence, self-exaltation--resist every effort to develop the mental toughness of Christ’s inner commitment to self-giving love. We closely examine ten characteristics of real love set forth by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 13.

For Further Prayerful Thought.

1.  How would you explain to another man that only men who want who aspire to inner toughness ought to try to be like Jesus?
2.  What insights about the nature of true, self-giving love most stood out to you?
3.  Which of the ten facets of agape love do you feel like you are exhibiting best?
4.  Which of the ten facets of agape love do you most need to work on?
