In today's episode, Jason Gentry shares his story of coming to faith in Christ, the change in leading his family, learning to partner with his wife, Sarah, in all aspects of life and how and his faith and work come together. Jason serves in several capacities at The Grove and is part of the Men's Leadership Team.

As you listen, think about these 3 challenges.

1. What are the hard questions that you wrestle with about faith in your life? Who are you inviting into that conversation to find truth? Jason mentioned he and Sarah had these conversations in their car rides together. Who do you need to spend time with while wrestling these questions. Connect with them today and ask them to be a part.
2. Jason and TJ spend quite a bit of time about leading in marriage and how we are created to be in partnership with our spouse. In what ways are you effectively leading your family and in what areas do you need to improve in? Invite your spouse into this conversation of understanding.
3. Throughout this entire episode, the one consistent theme was the Lord's faithfulness in calling Jason to salvation and then sending him to reach and lead others. Find time to sit down and write out how the Lord has faithfully called you and directed you in your life. Now, who is he sending you to go and lead?

In today's episode, we get to meet and get to know Todd Holubec. Todd and his family are faithful partners of The Grove. Todd serves in many ways and is part of the Men's Leadership Team. Today, you will hear his story of his journey of faith, marriage, parenting, adoption, love for the outdoors and more.

As you listen, think about these 3 challenges.

1. Accountability. Todd's life was changed because of other men holding accountable to his pursuit of Jesus. This is massively important for each of us. Do you believe you need accountability (hint: you do)? Who are your accountability partners? Who do you need enlist as your accountability partner? No more waiting... go do it.
2. Life can come at you fast. Todd was stepping into multiple roles of leadership professionally, in church and then began the process of adoption. Todd's reliance on the Lord was what held him together. Even in the questions and daunting tasks, the Lord continued to move him forward. Consider what your foundation is for your life. Is it built on self reliance or reliance and trust in the Lord? What needs to change to be fully reliant?
3. Todd loves the outdoors. He said he feels close to the Lord when he is outside observing creation. What environment do you feel most close to the Lord in? Why do you think that is? We all need that place that we can retreat and be fully present and observing the move and power of God. If you don't have that space, define it and get after it.

In the episode, we jump into the conclusion of the conversation with Bryan Primrose. In it, we see how the Lord has brought restoration, fullness and ministry opportunities to his life. Our hope is that you can see that the Lord sees you and has life abundant for you!

As you listen, think about these 3 challenges.

1. Where or whom do you need to seek forgiveness in your life? Where do you need to forgive yourself. The Lord forgives us and, often, it us that continues to carry the weight the Lord has taken. Today, will you let him take the burden from you?
2. If you are married and a partner of the Grove, will you consider going the next ReEngage series? If you are interested, email TJ at tj@explorethegrove.org. What areas of your marriage do you need to surrender to the Lord to turn towards being the spiritual leader of your marriage and family? We are here to help if you need it!
3. At the very end, Bryan challenged us to be involved in the church. No matter where you from, how are you partnering in service at your local church? By serving, you put others over self, find community in the team you are serving with, and grow in your spiritual walk by being around others. Take the challenge to no longer be a spectator, but to commit to serving!
