Friends,
Hey there! Just a quick heads up that 2025 is the year to find your true calling, the place where you shine the brightest. And guess what? It’s even better when you travel this journey with a supportive community.
In our latest podcast episode, I talked about a group called iron sharpeners. They’re like the best friends who help each other grow and improve. Check out the full episode to learn more about this amazing group and their thriving community.
Now, let’s dive into some specific ways iron sharpeners can be a blessing to you.
Iron sharpeners are people who are on the same life path and can help you sharpen your skills in certain areas. Here’s a verse that gives us some clear instructions on two of those areas:
We should keep on encouraging each other to be thoughtful and to do helpful things (Hebrews 10:24, CEV).
In general, the verse says iron sharpeners can motivate and encourage you to take action. But let’s break it down and find some practical ways you can benefit from and contribute as an iron sharpener:
- Finish Becoming. The verse says iron sharpeners can encourage you to ‘be thoughtful.’ Part of the journey to your spot is becoming something you weren’t before. Iron sharpeners can help you finish the process of becoming what God always intended for you.
- Focus while Building. The last part of the verse says iron sharpeners can encourage you to ‘do helpful things.’ As you move towards your spot, you’ll see many opportunities to use your God-given talents. Iron sharpeners can be the voice of reason who help steer you away from things that don’t align with your goals and towards the best things that align with where God wants you to go!
Now, let’s head towards the finish line. Iron sharpeners are a crucial part of the community that can help you reach your full potential. If you tap into them, they can help you finish becoming and focus while building. But, these are just a couple of ways iron sharpeners can make a difference in your journey to greatness. What are your thoughts? I’d love to hear how you see the role of iron sharpeners in your community in the comments.
Until next time, have an incredible day!
