Be the brother they never had
Today we are trying something new.
My friend Adam drives big articulated lorries and he starts his day very VERY early. Probably earlier than some of you finish yours. Adam often leaves me a WhatsApp voice message in the early hours to which I respond at some point during the day. We share all sorts - what's happening in our lives, a word of encouragement, a reflection, a joke. I've called Adam the brother I never had and I really value him.
We thought it would be fun to record a few messages over a week and share our conversation with you. We've worked hard to keep these very similar to what we normally exchange but much shorter. They'll give you a good idea of how it rolls between us.
And why do this? Like I do, I think everybody needs an Adam. Not that this format works for all of you. But do something to build and maintain your relationships.
Be intentional.
Be prophetic.
Be the brother so many never had.
And as Rob Parsons said last week, don't be afraid to say "I love you" even though it might feel a little odd at first.

WHAT IS ASCEND MEN?
Imagine a community of men who are challenged, inspired and equipped to live passionate lives for Jesus. A place where men-care-for-men through a small number of honest personal relationships initiated and supported by regular male-oriented events. Relationships are built shoulder-to-shoulder doing stuff in preference to eye-balling each other!
Ascend Men is that community.
Our podcasts reflect that desire to challenge, inspire and equip our men. Some are light-hearted easy-listens. Some deserve to be digested and pondered. If you love them, tell us - we could do with the encouragement. If you can see ways they could be improved, tell us - feedback is a gift.
Join our Facebook group or email us (ascend@thec3.uk) to hear more about our fantastic breakfasts in Cambridge, Bury and Colchester as well as our annual Summit in February and Camp in July.
