Life can be difficult to stay on top of as men. We have so many "irons in the fire" that we lose track and get overwhelmed. Because of this, some irons smother out while others ignite everything else into flames. The key is knowing what the right irons are to have in the fire.
It isn't that we want to live this way and yet culture is always telling us to do more, be more, have more, live more. We end up feeling like a failure because we simply cannot do everything and so we push even harder to be a better father and loving husband. We work longer hours to get more done at work. We go further into debt because we are trying to provide a better life for our family than we had as kids. We often think "if I just sleep less I can get it all done!" You can't keep that up!
Designing the life you want full of purpose, intention and connection is not as easy as it sounds. It takes time. It takes planning. It takes direction and discipline. It takes encouragement and accountability. It takes a community of other like-minded men surrounding and encouraging you along the way. And just like barbecue, it is a low and slow process.
That is what Life Around the Pit is about. It is about an intentional connection with a community of men that encourage each other, teach each other, speak life into each other and talk about barbecue while we are at it!
What are you waiting for? Let's talk some barbecue...join the community today!
