33 Day Men’s ChallengeSample

DAY SEVENTEEN

The Warrior’s Creed

Speak it out for two minutes with conviction and use the movements from the video to memorize it:

“Obey heaven, serve people, conquer self, crush evil.”

The Master’s Word

Set this word to a rhythm and declare it out loud for at least five minutes and whenever you’re out walking or driving today.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” Matthew 5:8

The Truth Challenge

Consider honestly these questions:

“If the rule is true ’what goes in, comes out’, are you putting the right stuff into your mind to get the results you want?”

“Are you careful with what MEDIA you put in to your mind?”

The Response Challenge

Take some notes and share them with your warrior brother (by telephone, email, text etc.).

The Physical Challenge

Cold showers

Cold showers are shown to have many benefits physically and mentally—too many to mention here! Check out research online if you’re interested.

Hints:

• Start in a warmer season to allow your body to get used to it.
• Have a normal warm shower first; do your usual washing; then turn down the temperature gradually over the first week or so, until completely cold.
• Eventually, the goal should be completely cold for the last 1-2 minutes of your regular shower and only cold for the summer months. 
• Set your own goals and stick to them.

Additional Verses:

“Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” Proverbs 4:23

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.” Matt 6:22-23

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Rom 12:2

“If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.” Matt 5:29
