A Templar didn't wake up and decide whether he felt like praying. The bell decided.
It starts in the dark, before anyone's watching.
These were hard men, feared across Christendom and the Holy Land, and the Rule had them praying before they ever got on a horse.
I'm not selling you the legend. I'll show you where they were wrong, and they were wrong about something big. But the way they built a man is worth stealing. A prayer in the truck before work matters.
"In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there."Mark 1:35
The Sword and the Knee
The long one. A letter, 10 chapters and a conclusion on what the Knights Templar teach a man about strength, brotherhood and prayer. Every chapter ends with a worksheet, because reading it won't change you.
The night watchSomebody's asleep on the other side of that door.
Then you get up and take your post.
You don't stand this watch to earn your place in the family. You were posted by grace, and now you stay awake.
Stand Your Watch
The short one. 41 lessons, a few minutes each, built straight on Scripture. It goes after the things a man would rather not name.
- The CallingThe post you didn't know you had, and why you fell asleep on it.
- Your Own SoulGuard this first. Everything else leaks from here.
- Your WifeNot headship as a title. Going first, and bleeding first.
- Your KidsYou're the first wall they ever see.
- Your BrothersNo man holds a wall alone. Find your five, and be one.
- The GateThe war isn't with people. Say the true thing in love and expect the cost.
And then it gets light.
First light
A man who only defends is half a man.
Take them somewhere. Your wife, your kids, the guy at work who's going under and won't say so. You lead them toward God, out loud, at a kitchen table with waffle on the floor, on a morning when you don't feel like much of anything.
"...but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."Joshua 24:15
Who wrote this
"They can take everything from you, but your integrity is the only thing you have to give away to lose."
My grandfather told me that when I was laid up and not doing well. I'm Jake McCluskey, a Navy veteran who got hurt in the service, a husband and a father, and I live in North Dakota. I'm not a historian and I'm not writing from a mountaintop. Christ met me in the pit, at the bottom, when I had nothing to offer Him.
You've been sold to your whole life, and you can smell it from across the room. So here's the deal: I won't lie to you to make a point land harder.
Pay once.
It's yours.
No subscription and nothing to renew. Read the first two lessons of either course before you spend a dollar.
