Compadres in the faith - I mean a small band of true fellow sojourners & fellow soldiers who’ll fight the good fight beside you - are absolutely crucial to all of us in Christ & for men as much as for women. This is 1 of the biggest deficits I see right now in the Body of Christ.
The early church had this & we need it badly, particularly in a day when we’ve substituted face to face compadres with online relationships. Don’t get me wrong. I have a real live online relationships. But we need more than that to flourish in the faith & to endure this darkness.
This deficit, I’m nearly completely convinced, is among the leading causes of our astoundingly obvious deficit of joy WHICH then results in a colossal deficit of endurance. Look at the joy these disciples had, even in their persecution & suffering. They had Jesus AND each other.
Don’t know how I’d have made it all these years without small bands of fellow sojourners in the faith all along the way who fight for 1 another, pray for 1 another, encourage 1 another to be faithful to Jesus in hardship, cheer 1 another on to victory. I long for all to have it.
I’ll say this then shut up. If you don’t have this, pray for it. Then be willing for it to be people who are different from you. Maybe different generations/denominations. Some married/some single. But you each want to love & serve Jesus joyfully, faithfully to your last breath.
