This is the Truth Network. Welcome to all you joyriders out there. This is a fantastic show from the guys you know. I'm speaking of none other than the Band of Brothers. My name's Keith, producer for such fine truth network programming like The Masculine Journey and Masculine Journey After Hours.
In this podcast, you can expect to laugh and smile with godly men who want nothing more than to honor and glorify God.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the Joyride. Since there's a good chance that things are coming to an end, I just want to say thank you for everything that you've taught me. I know you may not see yourself as my mentor, but. Of course I do. I've been mentoring you all this time.
Yeah. This is day 1282 of a nine-year mentorship I had mapped out for you. Under ordinary circumstances, I wouldn't reveal this to you until day 3,300. It was real. There was a binder.
Not anymore. No! You can still mentor me if we don't work together. We could meet for breakfast every day. You could teach me over eggs.
Eggs for breakfast. Further behind than I thought. Hey, Joyriders. This week the guys are talking about mentors and honors a certain sage of the group.
So, before I go any further, a tip of the cap to Harold. Much respect.
Now, for the uninformed, There are plenty of examples of mentorship to be found in the scriptures. For example, the book of Titus, chapter 2, starting at verse 1. But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine. Older men are to be temperate, dignified, simple, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance. Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine.
teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored. Likewise, Urge the young men to be sensible. In all things, show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified, sound in speech, which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame. Having nothing bad to say about us.
So, it's an honor to be able to share experiences and knowledge with someone who needs to hear it. Just like it's a blessing to have someone take pity on your old sorry self and decide to help you out, show you the ropes, if you know what I mean.
So, to all the would-be proteges out there, I have one more piece of advice for you: you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball. What? Any other questions? Yeah, and we want to celebrate Harold's 84th birthday yesterday. Yep.
84th birthday. 84th birthday. You know, we talked about being a to you. Yeah, well. Celebrate, not make it sick.
Definitely sing solo. It was a tough singing. Just cut off at four. On a bad voice. It wasn't great.
Wasn't a good voice. It was right. Yeah. It was right there. It was close.
Anyway, we are a band of brothers and we love each other a lot. But to be honest, we forgot. None of us texted Harold yesterday and told me happy birthday. We all forgot about it until this morning, and then it's like we blew up the text string.
So, Harold, we apologize. We hope you had a great birthday yesterday. It was a good one. When you get to be this stage, they're all good. And I was thinking it might have been better without us bothering him yesterday.
Well, it could have been. Could have been. That's true. But at 84, did you remember it was your birthday? Oh, yeah.
We're in the middle of a topic of talking about mentors in our life, and it just so happens we all pick the same mentor.
Well, how could that happen? That's just got to be intervention of some sort. Yeah. Don't know what. Don't know.
No, I didn't. I just said intervention. I didn't say it was that. I just said intervention. We just all had.
Great minds think alike, right?
Well, our minds do. We had an adjective in there we did really need. Anyway, we were talking about mentors in our life, and we have so far been talking about our good friend Harold, who has loved on us well over the last many years. I don't even know how long you've been with us. Harold, do you remember how long you've been with us in this group?
No, I don't. It's been a good trip. Robby, do you remember what it was? When it was? I started in 16, I think, and Harold was with us then.
I think you were just getting ramped up. I was going to say 14. Yeah, I think it was around 14, yeah. 14 or 15.
So, man, it's been 10, 11 years, man. It's been a while. It's been great. Back when he was a young whipper snapper. Yeah.
Man, it was all the way back in your 70s.
So from the Guides of Masculine Journey, I'm Keith and we'll see you down the road. Yeah. This is the Truth Network. Yeah.
