How to be a Top Dog (not a lone wolf)

Are you a lone wolf?
Are you a Top Dog?
What's the difference between the two? Are there good & bad qualities of both?
In this episode, Phil and Ryan reflect on the merits and pitfalls of lone wolf mentality, and discuss how you can maintain your sense of creativity and individuality within the context of a tribe or community.
As people striving to walk our own Uncommon path, we don't want to forsake the unique traits that make us who we are, but we also don't want to allow our sense of individuality to ostracize us from others and hinder our leadership.
Ultimately if you are a part of a community in which you are accountable and encouraged to grow as a person, your individuality can be celebrated as an asset that adds value to the whole.
And if you are searching for a community of men where you can build relationships, learn skills, achieve worthwhile goals, and have a ton of fun in the process, we would love for you to consider joining Thee Uncommon Fraternity! You can learn more at https://www.theeuncommon.com/

Unlocking the power of fasting

What is fasting?
Is it cutting out food - or just certain foods - for a time? We hear about TV or social media "fasts" - but is that true fasting?
In this episode, Phillip & Ryan explore biblical principles around fasting, the various approaches in today's culture, as well as share their own experiences with fasting and the resulting benefits.
Whether you practice a regular discipline of fasting, or you've never fasted a day in your life, know that you can do it an experience the host of physical, mental and spiritual breakthrough! The Pastor Franklin Jentzen has said, Fasting is a constant means of renewing yourself spiritually. The discipline of fasting breaks you out of the world's routine.

Thee Fraternity LIVE - Pursuing Passion in our Profession

How important is passion in your work?
Is it reasonable for us to desire to do a job that aligns with our passions? Or should our priority be to just work hard and provide for our families? And are those mutually exclusive, or can we have both?
In this episode we discuss the relationship of passion to the work we do. Some seasons of our vocational lives align more with our passions, while other seasons find us struggling to feel fulfilled in our work. We may have to persevere in a work situation that poses many struggles. But how might God be growing you & preparing you for a future calling?
Several truths from God's word can provide us with healthy perspective on our work:
1 Tim 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain
Luke 16:10 Whoever can be trusted with little can be trusted with much; and whoever is dishonest with little will also be dishonest with much
Let us strive to work with contentment and gratitude, allowing God's Spirit to produce these virtues in us. And may we be prove ourselves faithful stewards of the work God has called us to today - and trust in His timing & perfect will to unfold in our work lives.

Thee Fraternity LIVE - How to be a servant leader in your workplace

How do you define a servant leader?
Humility? Courage? Integrity? Encourager?
What does it look like to be a servant leader in your workplace? And what would be the results of answering this call?
On this edition of Thee Fraternity LIVE call, the men in our community answer these questions, as well as discuss some of the challenges to being a servant leader, and the blessings that outweigh these challenges.
One thing is for sure:
Being a servant leader is Uncommon.
Jesus was the ultimate servant leader. He demonstrated perfect grace, accountability, patience, righteous rebuke and LOVE. And he has tasked us with being servant leaders in our workplace, whether we're the CEO or intern. Doing so will allow others to see Christ in us and experience a taste of God's coming Kingdom.
The question is: Will we answer the call?

*Bonus Episode! Taking off the Know-it-all Mask

What are the masks we hide behind?
In his book, The Mask of Masculinity, author Lewis Howes highlights several of the masks men tend to hide behind, 1 of them being the Know-it-all mask, or the "tendency or need to fill the void with the sound of your own voice."
In this solo episode, Ryan reflects on the know-it-all mask, how it's manifested in his own life, the detriments of this mask, and the positive outcomes of shedding this mask and embracing his authentic self.
The pressures to wear this mask range from insecurities, fears, traumas, and pride.
What are the detriments to hiding behind the know-it-all mask?
living unauthentic lives
being called out & embarrassed by others
falling for inferior or false information
cheating ourselves out of new knowledge and success
experiencing and enjoying deep relationships
finding ourselves in dangerous or precarious situations... Just ask George Costanza about the time he pretended to be a marine biologist and found himself face to blowhole with a whale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHRucRyLCms
You can learn more about the Know-it-all mask and how to shed it by reading the book The Mask of Masculinity

Thee Fraternity LIVE - Avoiding burnout through rhythms of rest

What is burnout and how do we avoid it?
On this call we discussed the importance & value of hard work, and the ever-present threat of burnout to knock us off course.
God has given us the mandate to create and cultivate, and to identity with Him in our work - and also in our rest. The 4th commandment - and the most descriptive - is to honor the Sabbath day and keep it holy. Just as God rested from His work of creation on the 7th day, He has called us - blessed us - with a day of rest from our work. Honoring the Sabbath is a true test of obedience and faith. And make no mistake: resting is for our own good, and can actually benefit and enhance the work we do.
Whatever rest looks like for you, our encouragement is to prioritize time in the Lord's presence. The temptation will always be to complete just 1 more task on our endless to-do lists. But if we will resist the urge to be a 'Martha' and surrender to God's call to be a 'Mary' and sit at the Lord's feet, we will discover the one thing that is better that productivity: contentment and peace in the presence of our God.
