In this episode, Jim Ramos shares what we at Men in the Arena believe and why it is important. Christ-centered: We unapologetically trust Jesus Christ to protect, grow, and bless Men in the Arena. We will stand up, speak up, and show up for Jesus even to the point of ridicule, persecution, and death. (Luke 1:37, 1 Corinthians 3:7, 2 Timothy 3:12, and Hebrews 10:39) Biblically-based: We believe the Bible is the infallible word of God that provides moral absolutes. Everything we speak, write, or represent, will be Biblically accurate to the best of our abilities and interpretation of Scripture. (Psalm 119:9-10, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 4:12, and 2 Peter 1:20-21) Strategic partnership: We believe in forming strategic partnerships with diverse, Christ-centered people, and organizations around the world, who will ultimately put Jesus on display. (Matthew 6:10, John 13:34-35, 1 Corinthians 3:2-7, and Philippians 1:13-18) Organizational Integrity: We believe in impeccable organizational integrity. We will be transparent in our financial dealings, ministry reporting, and verbal interactions. (Job 27:5, Proverbs 10:9, Matthew 22:16, and 1 Timothy 3:1-6) Morally Pure:  We believe in living a life that glorifies Jesus, guards those we love, and protects the organization.(Proverbs 5:18-20, Acts 1:8, 1 Timothy 3:1-6, 2 Timothy 2:22, and Hebrews 13:4)  of Tell Them, What Great Fathers Tell Their Sons and Daughters
