### Quotes for Outreach

1. "Imagine you hear something and instead of you just immediately assuming it's true, you seek out the truth. The amount of stuff I see, just in another aspect to give you some understanding and context for this, the amount of false information that I see spread on Facebook is ridiculous. They share an article or they share something else and then when you actually look into that, you realize that's not true. That's just false propaganda being spread."

2. "Men, we need to learn to be content. Paul says later on in 1 Timothy 6, verse 6-7, but godliness is actually a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. This is a man who is satisfied with what God has given him and finds contentment no matter how much or how little he has."

3. "I am challenging you. Study this list. Research this list. Apply this list. Stop allowing other distractions to take you away. Stop allowing other things to contaminate your mind. We need men and young men, if you're not a father yet and you're under the age of 18 or whatever, live this way. Start now. Plant those seeds of discipline now so that as you get older and you are looking for a spouse, you've got the qualities and characteristics and Lord willing, He'll bring you a virtuous woman."

4. "Because ultimately, at the end of days, it is you that will stand before God. No one else. You cannot say, well Lord, you gave me this woman and it is thus that thou hast given me her and now it's you. Man up. Open a can of man and live it. Be this way. And I don't know why you're clapping. I'm talking about you. Little Paul Washer dig. But men, I'm serious. I'm serious. Bay County is a very spiritually dark area."

### Quotes for Members

1. "Men, you should not have a work wife. Let me say that real fine. There should be no such thing as a work wife. That was like nails on a chalkboard when I would heard men, this is my work wife. What does that mean? You didn't enter into a covenant with that. That's not your spouse. This is a man who when he's in the workplace, if that spouse was on the wall, watching he's exactly the same man as he is at home."

2. "Men, if you live this way to be above reproach, that you are going to be a man. You are going to stand out from amongst all other men. This is a masculine man. This is a masculine man according to the biblical definition of masculinity. Being a godly man is not, nor should it ever be defined by the world or the culture because here's how the world would describe masculinity."

3. "We need godly men. We need godly men who meet these qualifications and seek to meet these qualifications who are ready and able, if the call comes to them, to step into leadership, to live in this way. Men who define masculinity through the lens of scripture, pleasing to God, rather than the lens of culture which is pleasing to men. We need men of virtue. We need men of conviction. We need men of principles. We need men of consistency. We need men of courage." [54:21](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

4. "Men, you need to be men of your word. Men that can be depended upon. Men that can be reliable. Men that will show up for the family when they say that they will be there. If your kid has an event or something else and you say, I'm going to be there, you will be there. The job will go away. All that will go away. You need to be careful with that. This is a man here. In verse 4 and 5, this is a man here that doesn't just read well on paper but plays this out in real time." [49:13](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip | Download vertical captioned clip)

5. "A godly man demonstrates consistency in his walk with Christ. That way, those outside the church don't see this man, discount him, continue to throw out the accusations that the church is filled with a bunch of hypocrites and then he falls into reproach, then the church falls into reproach. God will not be popular. Men, if you adhere to this list, you will not be a popular man with the world because you're living in such a way that it reveals the ungodliness of this generation."
