Title: Embracing the Warrior Mindset: Lessons from Scott Roberts’ Journey

In today’s episode of the Eyes on Jesus podcast, we had the privilege of hosting Scott Roberts, a remarkable Christian leader, writer, and author of the men’s ministry book, “Warrior Disciple.” Scott shared his profound insights into the challenges men face in their spiritual journey and how embracing a warrior mindset can revolutionize their faith. His story is not only inspiring but also serves as a powerful call to action for all believers.

The Battle We Face Daily

Scott began the conversation by highlighting the ongoing spiritual warfare that every Christian endures. He identified three primary fronts in this battle: the spiritual forces of darkness, the world’s systems, and our own flesh. These adversaries constantly seek to derail our faith and distract us from our divine purpose. In Scott’s view, understanding this battle is crucial for any man striving to lead a Christ-centered life.

Scott’s introduction to the podcast was warm and filled with gratitude. He shared details about his background, including his tenure in men’s ministry, his passion for helping men grow spiritually, and his professional journey in IT and voiceover work. His personal story is a testament to his dedication and commitment to his faith and family.

The Importance of Men’s Ministry

Scott delved into his involvement with men’s ministry, motivated by a desire for deeper fellowship and spiritual growth among men at his church. He expressed dissatisfaction with the sporadic nature of traditional men’s ministry programs and sought to create a more consistent and engaging platform for men to connect and grow together. This led to the inception of his book, “Warrior Disciple,” designed to provide a comprehensive, year-round discipleship program.

A Call to Action for Men

Scott emphasized the need for men to adopt a warrior mindset in their spiritual lives. Drawing from Ephesians 6, he encouraged men to put on the full armor of God daily, equipping themselves with the Sword of the Spirit—the Word of God. He stressed the importance of being proactive, leading their families, and setting a spiritual example in their homes, workplaces, and communities.

Starting Your Journey

For those new to this concept, Scott offered practical advice: prioritize your relationship with Jesus Christ. Start by reading the Bible and praying daily. Engage with God’s Word and seek to apply its teachings to your life. These foundational practices will strengthen your faith and prepare you to lead others.

Building a Strong Men’s Ministry

Scott provided insights into building an effective men’s ministry. He emphasized the importance of grounding the ministry in Scripture and fostering deep, transparent relationships among men. He advocated for small groups where men can share their struggles, encourage one another, and grow together in their faith. This approach, he believes, is essential for true spiritual growth and accountability.

The Warrior Disciple Book

Scott’s book, “Warrior Disciple,” is designed to challenge men and guide them in their spiritual journey. It offers practical steps and deep, scriptural insights, encouraging men to adopt a warrior mindset and live out their faith with purpose and conviction. Whether you’re leading a small group or seeking personal growth, this book is a valuable resource.

Conclusion

Our conversation with Scott Roberts was nothing short of inspiring. His journey and insights serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing a warrior mindset in our spiritual lives. As we continue to navigate the challenges of our faith, let us take up the mantle of a warrior, equipped with the full armor of God, ready to lead and serve with courage and conviction.
