Justin Anderson shares the story of why choosing a good battle buddy was important while doing “killer push ups” during basic training and how this relates to God and life.
Episode Discussion Points
- Justin shares how during Army Basic Training he had to do “Killer Push Ups” and what that looked like.
- At first he chose a friend (who was smaller than him) to spot him during Killer push ups, but why he quickly switched to find someone big and strong
- How Justin was able to use this experience to realize it is so important to choose Jesus as our battle buddy in life because He will never let us down or let us fall flat on our face. He is strong enough to lift us when we are weak and worn out.
- How Justin was able to use this battle buddy analogy of having Jesus help him during a time when he was sick, in work and at home.
- Sometimes we don’t realize Jesus was there carrying us during a particular situation until after it is over. Then we need to remember to thank Him for His help and mercy.
- How to yoke yourself to Jesus so you can rely on Him as a Battle Buddy through the basics of daily prayer, and scripture study and going to church weekly.
