And so, it begins. Something I have always wanted to do... something I have talked about doing for so long. An event to gather men around things we are naturally drawn to... spirituality, food and fire.
A men's retreat... a barbecue competition... a challenge. Something that men can aggress individually and as a unit. These are ingredients for trust, and when trust is present, the necessary discussions and plans of action can take place. Was this my idea? No. In fact, I think that what I am speaking of goes even beyond the origin of where you can find this concept in a book. I think it goes back to OUR point of origin. We were created to solve. Created to serve. Created to love. Created to be firm and steadfast. Created to extend a hand downward to offer a hand up, outward to offer acceptance and peace and upward to accept help when we need it.
Sadly, many of us have gone so long without positive male role models in our lives. That's not to say they aren't there in all cases, but even just being there doesn't mean present. How does that look for you? Are you a positive male role model for someone, and if so, are you truly present?
I am looking forward to building this. A barbecue business gone rogue. So many people ask me where my restaurant is... or where I am based out of. An honest question. My answer is usually that I am mobile, and that I don't have a restaurant. What I am saying is... I move where I am needed or requested. Requested by a person, needed by Faith.
