Election Prep 101 (3 of 3)

Guest: Scott Turner

 

Begin to develop a life of SERVICE  - look for opportunities to plug in and serve your community and your church. Pray that God would help you see the needs where you can serve - there is no “small” opportunity - Scott’s example of reading to younger children in the schools is such an important opportunity that men need to consider and fill!

 

Where does “service” begin - in the HOME! Before you export the wisdom of your life into the world, make sure that you’re actually living it out in your own home.

 

To learn more about “opportunity zones,” check out this resource - Dr. Ben Carson and Scott Turner, former Director of the White House Opportunity Zone and Revitalization Council, discuss the impact and future of Opportunity Zones with a panel of industry experts.

 

Wisdom from Scott:

1. Remember the sacrifices made by those who have gone before - to secure the freedoms that we have today!
2. Vote - remember that you are a Christian and find candidates whose values align with your Biblical worldview - educate yourself. Don’t vote for people because they have the most signs and commercials - find qualified candidates who will put into practice those principles and values that you believe are best for our community and country.
3. Vote - know about the election you’re voting in - who the candidates are, what the issues are, the difference between a primary and general election.
4. Men, you’re called to lead your family and community - voting in one of those important actions you need to engage in.
5. Make voting a priority. Put it on your calendar and go!

Remember to get The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God by Tim Keller - we will begin our books discussions to be released on the Fridays in October!
