A Journey of Faith for Men
Steve Crowdus - Speaker/Writer/Podcaster
Steve's mission in his speaking and mentoring is to help others discover their true identity through a relationship with God and the Bible, and allowing that relationship to make a difference in their lives and the lives of others.
Steve's heart is to help men find their center - a center established and rooted in relationship to God through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Steve believes that life change and success are achievable! What that looks like for you will depend on your attitude, determination, and life choices through self-reflection and reading of Scripture.
The word summit calls to mind a mountain peak. We imagine breath taking views and the feeling of being on top of the world, and the sigh of relief after overcoming the many challenges of making it to the top.
While few of us will summit a mountain and experience the associated euphoria, when we summit the metaphorical mountains in our life, it is just the same. We simultaneously experience the sensations of exhaustion, relief, exhilaration, and joy!
So, what is the summit I speak of here? I have experienced many happy and joy filled moments in my life, but there is one experience that has continued to bring lasting joy and peace! Nothing has surpassed the joy of knowing Jesus Christ as my Savior. This is my summit experience. This is the summit that I speak of here, perhaps best stated below:
“Purposes, plans, and achievements of men may all dis-
appear like a yon cloud upon the mountains summit;
but, like the mountain itself, the things of God shall
stand fast and forever and ever”
– Charles Spurgeon
Once we have arrived at the summit, what else is there? Is there life beyond the summit?
If the summit represents our “purposes, plans, and achievements,” perhaps that moment is our reward -- with only lingering memories, which fade over time.
But if the summit represents God, the answer is a resounding ‘Yes’, and it is limitless, eternal, and forever! Salvation is just the beginning, much more lies ahead!
There is life beyond the summit – abundant life! The Bible says that Jesus came to “give life and give it in full abundance” (John 10:10). It is through a relationship with Jesus Christ that we experience true fullness and learn the true meaning of life.
I have had ups and downs, trials, and even periods of tribulation, but through Jesus, I have experienced peace in all these times.
In Philippians 1:6, the Apostle Paul wrote, “…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it to completion…”
In Colossians 2:6-7, Paul gave this exhortation – “Since you have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, live in union with Him. Keep your roots deep in Him, build your lives on Him and become stronger in your faith…and be filled with thanksgiving.”
Join me and the many others in the discovery of a lifetime and this Journey of Faith for Men! A journey to live out an ABUNDANT life with Jesus, a journey to Life Beyond the Summit!!
