The Way of the Warrior is a developing series of “field guides” offered to men who are seeking to grow in their faith in Jesus. The first workbook of this series is Identity. This workbook helps in recognizing the importance of shedding the identity that is self-created and putting on the one that is God-created. It is highly recommended that you read Identity first.

“Who are you?”
If you were asked this question, how would you answer?
The Way of the Warrior, Part 1: Identity is designed to help us answer this question truthfully and with complete understanding of who we really are. It challenges us to take a deep dive into our very core to discover all the elements we’ve used throughout our lives to create our identity. It then compares and contrasts what we learn with what the Bible says is our true identity, the person God intends for us to be.

Is this book for you or your small group?
The foundation of learning to grow and mature in Christ starts with identity. Everything else is built on top of who you are, according to Jesus. The Way of the Warrior is designed as a daily field guide to help you understand who you’re really supposed to be, so you can establish disciplines that lead you toward fulfilling your purpose

“As a Christian, why do I keep failing?”
“Why am I struggling to be the spiritual leader of my family?”
“Why don’t I feel like I’m growing spiritually?”
The answer? You have a power problem.
–
Does a toaster make toast? Most of us would agree that yes, a toaster does make toast. But if it is not plugged into a power source needed to run the toaster, it will never create the toast it was designed to make.
–
Just like the toaster, as believers and followers in Christ Jesus, we are faced with a power problem. Although He has saved us, we are still in this meat sack called flesh, and the desire to do fleshly things and follow fleshly ways will always be at odds with our spiritual nature. Therefore, if we desire to overcome it, grow in maturity, and be the family leaders God intends for us to be, we need to be plugged in to our spiritual power source.
–
In the book of John, Jesus told His disciples that He expected them to be productive. He also tells them that, apart from Him, they would not be able to do anything. That’s because He is the source of power they would need to accomplish the work of the Kingdom of God.
–
This workbook covers the first two of what is known as The Nine Disciplines. They are the Foundational Disciplines—Prayer/Quiet Time, and Bible Study. We are spiritual “houses,” and as such, a strong foundation must be laid before any construction can take place. This is why first establishing these two disciplines is of utmost importance for any Christian warrior who desires the strength needed to become the person he is designed to be.
–
As Savior of our souls, our response to Jesus should be to seek Him daily with all our hearts and spend time with Him in prayer. We need a daily renewal in our understanding of what God expects from us, as we learn to live a life as effective Christians.
–
In The Way of the Warrior, the Foundational Disciplines, our hope is that you will get “plugged in” by:
- Developing a biblical understanding of what prayer/quiet time really is; and
- Learning to study your Bible by utilizing the daily applications this workbook offers.
Who or what sits on the throne of your heart? And why?
–
From the very beginning of mankind’s existence, occupation of the seat of power which lies within us has been at the very epicenter of the war between good and evil, spirit and flesh, God and Satan. Why is this?
–
Because the throne of the heart and the control of the mind, from which our words and actions are dictated, are intrinsically connected. Whoever or whatever is seated on that throne is revealed through what we say and do, good or bad.
–
All of us struggle in one way or another. Anger, lust, greed, pride, despair, and many others—all as a result of the choice we make regarding who or what sits on our heart’s throne, ruling our minds and negatively impacting our lives.
–
This is an attempt at starting a discussion by answering the two very insightful questions above and uncovering what often lurks within the walls of our inner sanctum, a place designated for only One particular person to occupy.
–
We will start by taking an overview of this situation in War of the Seeds, where we will discover how this war began, why we are a part of it, and the components of this war.
–
This is followed by Cycle of Destruction, the spiraling conflict that occurs each time sin enters our lives. In Headspace, we will narrow down our perspective a little more by addressing how our minds are often preoccupied with the past or the future, distracting us from what’s most important in the here and now.
–
The remaining portion of this study will focus on something that was addressed in Way of the Warrior Part 1: Identity, namely strongholds, going into great detail about the microcosm of this great war taking place within our minds.
–
Identifying strongholds is paramount to winning the battle, so we will be revealing their elements, specifically the lies, bad information, wounds, weak thoughts, twisted states of mind, and rotten fruits they produce.
–
Strongholds of addiction will be addressed as well, especially since they are some of the most powerful ones we have to confront. The next step is learning how to tear them down and replace them with the Stronghold that was intended to be there all along.
–
To help us get a better grip on the topic from an observer’s perspective, we will read two testimonies of men who struggled with strongholds in their lives and how through Jesus were able to overcome them.
–
The battle that all of us confront is directly tied to the most important thing in our lives. Once our eyes are open to this truth and we engage in a coup to dethrone it, we can humbly surrender the throne to the One to whom it rightfully belongs.
UP NEXT AND SOON TO BE AVAILABLE BOOKS WILL BE THE TACTICAL DISCIPLINES AND THE BATTLE OF THE MIND.
