Po\u010duli ste u\u017e t\u00fato vetu? Vzmu\u017e sa! Nebu\u010f slaboch, bu\u010f tvr\u010fas. Bu\u010fte mu\u017eom ako Bond, Rambo, Jason Bourne alebo Clint Eastwood. Pripad\u00e1 mi, \u017ee ako mu\u017ei t\u00fato fr\u00e1zu po\u010dujeme ve\u013ea. Ke\u010f n\u00e1m to povedia, v\u00e4\u010d\u0161inou m\u00e1me jednu z dvoch reakci\u00ed: „Nezvl\u00e1dnem to, tak to ani nesk\u00fasim!“ alebo na\u0161a reakcia vyzer\u00e1 takto: „Som chlap a d\u00e1m to. Mus\u00edm len tvrd\u0161ie pracova\u0165 a tv\u00e1ri\u0165 sa tvrdo, akoby ma ni\u010d netr\u00e1pilo.“ <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u017dijem v strednej Eur\u00f3pe u\u017e takmer 10 rokov a predt\u00fdm, ako som sa sem pres\u0165ahoval, som pracoval s mlad\u00fdmi mu\u017emi aj v USA. Nech som \u017eil kdeko\u013evek, za tie roky som toto odpozoroval u mlad\u00fdch mu\u017eov okolo m\u0148a. Stretol som ve\u013ea pas\u00edvnych mlad\u00fdch mu\u017eov a zdanliv\u00fdch \u201echlapov\u201c, ktor\u00ed pri hlb\u0161om kopan\u00ed odhalia, \u017ee sa vo svojom vn\u00fatri c\u00edtia ako chlapci. \u010c\u00edm to je? \u010co v skuto\u010dnosti znamen\u00e1 by\u0165 mu\u017eom? Toto je moja v\u00e1\u0161e\u0148 a jeden z hlavn\u00fdch d\u00f4vodov, pre\u010do som v slu\u017ebe pre ml\u00e1de\u017e. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
R\u00e1d hovor\u00edm s mlad\u00fdmi mu\u017emi o biblick\u00fdch postav\u00e1ch ako D\u00e1vid a Daniel a o tom, \u010do konkr\u00e9tne ich robilo mu\u017emi. Je to nie\u010do viac ako by\u0165 chlapsk\u00fd. Mali okolo seba z\u00e1mern\u00fa skupinu mu\u017eov, ktor\u00ed ich tiahli na vy\u0161\u0161iu \u00farove\u0148. Pod\u013ea mojich sk\u00fasenost\u00ed mlad\u00ed mu\u017ei dnes veria s\u00fa\u010dasn\u00e9mu posolstvu, \u017ee musia robi\u0165 veci a be\u017ea\u0165 beh \u017eivota sami. To ich n\u00fati zvoli\u0165 si jednu z dvoch ciest: vzda\u0165 sa alebo sa sami e\u0161te usilovnej\u0161ie sna\u017ei\u0165. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Je jeden mlad\u00fd mu\u017e, ktor\u00e9ho u\u010den\u00edkujem, ktor\u00fd mi povedal, \u017ee nepotrebuje skupinu in\u00fdch mu\u017eov. Tvrd\u00ed, \u017ee je pr\u00edli\u0161 intelektu\u00e1lny a je len m\u00e1lo mu\u017eov, ktor\u00ed by ho vyzvali dos\u0165 na to, aby to st\u00e1lo za jeho \u010das. Som jedin\u00fd, s k\u00fdm sa stretne a hovor\u00ed o viere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jedna z hlavn\u00fdch vec\u00ed, na ktorej sme spolu pracovali, je jeho pokus zdie\u013ea\u0165 Krista s kamar\u00e1tkou, ktor\u00e1 pr\u00e1ve pre\u017e\u00edva nejak\u00e9 utrpenie. Ona nech\u00e1pe jeho logiku a zd\u00e1 sa, \u017ee on s \u0148ou nedok\u00e1\u017ee s\u00faciti\u0165 alebo sa s \u0148ou spoji\u0165 na emo\u010dnej \u00farovni. Vyzval som ho, aby zv\u00e1\u017eil skuto\u010dnos\u0165, \u017ee \u017eijeme v komunite, a nielen pre intelektu\u00e1lne v\u00fdzvy, ale z mnoh\u00fdch d\u00f4vodov, vr\u00e1tane toho, aby sme porozumeli in\u00fdm, ch\u00e1pali, ako myslia, c\u00edtia a reaguj\u00fa na veci. S touto my\u0161lienkou st\u00e1le z\u00e1pas\u00ed, ale videl som u\u017e pokroky spr\u00e1vnym smerom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In\u00ed mlad\u00ed mu\u017ei maj\u00fa svoje kluby, \u0161portov\u00e9 t\u00edmy alebo priate\u013eov z kr\u010dmy. S\u00fa to priatelia, s ktor\u00fdmi tr\u00e1via \u010das, ale len ve\u013emi zriedka s\u00fa tie vz\u0165ahy z\u00e1mern\u00e9, aby navz\u00e1jom r\u00e1stli. My ako mu\u017ei potrebujeme viac ako len priate\u013eov, potrebujeme spolo\u010dn\u00edkov, ktor\u00ed n\u00e1s vyz\u00fdvaj\u00fa k rastu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ke\u010f moja skupina \u201eThe Mighty Men\u201c za\u010dala, jedna z prv\u00fdch vec\u00ed, o ktor\u00fdch sme hovorili, bolo vyz\u00fdvanie sa k rastu. Podelil som sa s nimi o to, \u017ee \u010d\u00edtam 7 kapitol v Biblii denne, \u010do ma prevedie cez Bibliu dvakr\u00e1t ro\u010dne. Vyzval som ich, aby si vybrali ur\u010dit\u00fd po\u010det kapitol denne. Prv\u00fd povedal: \u201eJa d\u00e1m jednu.\u201c Druh\u00fd povedal: \u201eMysl\u00edm, \u017ee aj ja by som mohol da\u0165 jednu.\u201c Jeden potom povedal: \u201eNo, ak Josh dok\u00e1\u017ee 7, tak ja 5!\u201c Ihne\u010f t\u00ed \u010fal\u0161\u00ed 4 povedali, \u017ee aj oni bud\u00fa \u010d\u00edta\u0165 p\u00e4\u0165 kapitol denne! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miloval som ten pozit\u00edvny tlak medzi nimi, ktor\u00fd vyz\u00fdval t\u00fdchto mlad\u00fdch mu\u017eov, aby po cel\u00fd rok, tr\u00e1vili \u010das \u010d\u00edtan\u00edm piatich kapitol denne. Ver\u00edm, \u017ee v\u0161etci okrem jedn\u00e9ho maj\u00fa dnes ve\u013emi dobr\u00fd n\u00e1vyk by\u0165 v Bo\u017eom slove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mlad\u00ed mu\u017ei, ktor\u00fdch za\u017e\u00edvam okolo seba,\nvyrastaj\u00fa pomerne \u010dasto bez toho, aby mali na svoj \u017eivot siln\u00fd pozit\u00edvny mu\u017esk\u00fd\nvplyv. Ver\u00edm, \u017ee je to v tejto gener\u00e1cii mlad\u00fdch mu\u017eov rozhoduj\u00faci \u010das, nau\u010di\u0165\nich a tr\u00e9nova\u0165, aby boli skuto\u010dn\u00fdmi mu\u017emi. Mu\u017ei, ktor\u00ed s\u00fa odv\u00e1\u017eni a smel\u00ed,\nktor\u00ed sa sna\u017eia cti\u0165 svojho Boha a vynikaj\u00fa v l\u00e1ske k svojej bud\u00facej man\u017eelke a\nde\u0165om. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Po vytvoren\u00ed zvyku by\u0165 v Bo\u017eom slove sme pracovali na modlitbe a disciplinovanom \u010dase s Bohom. Jeden z \u010dlenov na\u0161ej skupiny sa neust\u00e1le zdie\u013eal o tom, ako hovoril evanjelium s \u013eu\u010fmi na autobusov\u00fdch zast\u00e1vkach, a o tom, \u017ee by sme mali urobi\u0165 nie\u010do pre to, aby sme viac hovorili evanjelium. Vyzval som t\u00fato skupinku, aby i\u0161li do n\u00e1\u0161ho miestneho obchodn\u00e9ho centra a zdie\u013eala evanjelium s mlad\u00fdmi \u013eu\u010fmi, s ktor\u00fdmi sa stretn\u00fa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prvou reakciou bol strach. Vyzval som ich, aby boli odv\u00e1\u017eni a d\u00f4verovali Bohu. Nemuseli sa b\u00e1\u0165, ako ostatn\u00ed zareaguj\u00fa. I\u0161li sme do obchodn\u00e9ho centra, rozdelili sme sa do dvoj\u00edc a za\u010dali sme sa s \u013eu\u010fmi rozpr\u00e1va\u0165 v n\u00e1deji, \u017ee im budeme m\u00f4c\u0165 poveda\u0165 evanjelium. Potom sme sa zi\u0161li a prem\u00fd\u0161\u013eali sme o tom z\u00e1\u017eitku. V\u0161etci povedali, \u017ee pre nich bolo najd\u00f4le\u017eitej\u0161ie to, \u017ee dok\u00e1zali by\u0165 odv\u00e1\u017eni a vykro\u010di\u0165 zo svojho pohodlia. A ja ver\u00edm, \u017ee toto je pre mu\u017ea nie\u010do potrebn\u00e9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ke\u010f n\u00e1s Boh k nie\u010domu vol\u00e1, rozhodnime sa do toho smelo vst\u00fapi\u0165. Nerobme to sami, majme v tomto \u00fasil\u00ed pri sebe svojich chlapov, priate\u013eov, svojich mocn\u00fdch mu\u017eov. By\u0165 vyzvan\u00ed, aby sme ka\u017ed\u00fd de\u0148 \u010d\u00edtali Bo\u017eie slovo, n\u00e1s nau\u010dilo, \u017ee nesta\u010d\u00ed vedie\u0165, \u010do Bo\u017eie slovo hovor\u00ed, mus\u00edme pod\u013ea toho \u017ei\u0165. Robi\u0165 Bo\u017eie slovo najd\u00f4le\u017eitej\u0161\u00edm v na\u0161ich \u017eivotoch, n\u00e1s u\u010d\u00ed o \u0147om a o tom, ako sa spr\u00e1va\u0165 k druh\u00fdm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Niektor\u00ed \u013eudia veria, \u017ee mlad\u00fdm v dne\u0161nej dobe ch\u00fdba divo\u010dina, pr\u00e1ca s rukami a osvojovanie praktick\u00fdch zru\u010dnost\u00ed. Mysl\u00edm si, \u017ee mus\u00edme by\u0165 opatrn\u00ed, preto\u017ee to m\u00f4\u017ee tie\u017e samo osebe vies\u0165 k sebesta\u010dnosti. S t\u00fdmto vedom\u00edm si tie\u017e mysl\u00edm, \u017ee to s\u00fa veci, ktor\u00e9 v dne\u0161nej dobe u mlad\u00fdch mu\u017eov ch\u00fdbaj\u00fa. V mal\u00fdch skupin\u00e1ch sa sna\u017e\u00edm nau\u010di\u0165 chlapcov, ktor\u00fdch vediem, pracova\u0165 s rukami, aby boli praktick\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jednou z mojich najob\u013e\u00fabenej\u0161\u00edch vec\u00ed, ktor\u00e9 m\u00f4\u017eem robi\u0165 s mlad\u00fdmi mu\u017emi z ml\u00e1de\u017ee, je pr\u00e1ca na mojej starej dod\u00e1vke Volkswagen. Jedna vec, ktor\u00fa na pr\u00e1ci na star\u00fdch aut\u00e1ch milujem, je, \u017ee nikdy ni\u010d nejde pod\u013ea pl\u00e1nu.

Ned\u00e1vno sme sa museli obr\u00e1ti\u0165 k bivakovaniu (spanie v hamokoch), preto\u017ee na trase na\u0161ej t\u00fary nebolo v chat\u00e1ch miesto. Chalani sa b\u00e1li t\u00e1bori\u0165 v lese, ale nau\u010dili sa, \u017ee Bohu m\u00f4\u017eeme d\u00f4verova\u0165 aj v \u201erizikov\u00fdch situ\u00e1ci\u00e1ch\u201c. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
