00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:15,440
Greetings, welcome to Renegades, Men of Faith and Fortitude.

2
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,280
I am your host, the Reverend Joseph C. Gomez, and today I'm going to talk about the virtues

3
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:25,200
of faith and fortitude and how to cultivate them in our lives so that we can live a life

4
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,360
of purpose and meaning.

5
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:35,000
Today we'll be talking about the importance of faith and fortitude in the life of a man.

6
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,920
What does it mean to be a man of faith and fortitude?

7
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:44,000
What qualities and attributes do such a man possess?

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,240
How can we cultivate these qualities in ourselves to live a life of purpose and meaning?

9
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,480
These are the questions that we will be exploring today.

10
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:01,080
Faith and fortitude are both essential qualities for a man of a character.

11
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:08,600
Faith is defined as a strong belief in something even in the absence of evidence.

12
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:15,680
It is a steadfast commitment to an ideal or a cause in the face of adversity and doubt.

13
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,280
Fortitude, on the other hand, is defined as courage in the face of difficulty or danger.

14
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:27,000
It is a strength to persevere and endure in the face of adversity and challenge.

15
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,560
See today, or as you are together, faith and fortitude are the qualities that enable a

16
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,120
man to live a life of purpose and meaning.

17
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:42,400
A man of faith and fortitude is one who is committed to his beliefs and his values and

18
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,680
is willing to face adversity and challenge without fear.

19
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,880
He is courageous and resolute in the face of difficulty and danger.

20
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:57,960
He is willing to take risks and his strength and his resilience to overcome obstacles

21
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,120
and persevere in the pursuit of his goals.

22
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:07,640
A man of faith and fortitude has a strong moral compass and is guided by a set of values

23
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,480
and principles that he holds dear.

24
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,240
He is honest, he is trustworthy, and he is loyal.

25
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,920
He is humble and generous in his dealings with others and is willing to put the needs

26
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:22,200
of others before his own.

27
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,960
He is a leader and he is a role model and is committed to doing what is right no matter

28
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,080
how difficult it may be.

29
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,800
Or how unpopular it is.

30
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,180
A man of faith and fortitude is also a man of action.

31
00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:41,400
He is driven and motivated to take action in pursuit of his goals and dreams.

32
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:47,520
He is not deterred by fear or failure but instead is willing to take risks and learn

33
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,880
from his mistakes.

34
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:54,680
He is a disciplined man, focused in his efforts and is determined to reach his goals and achieve

35
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:55,680
success.

36
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,920
Finally, a man of faith and fortitude is a man of prayer.

37
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:06,200
He seeks guidance and solace in his faith and is willing to surrender his will to the

38
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,680
will of God or to the Creator.

39
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,280
He knows that with faith and fortitude anything is possible and that he can achieve success

40
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,680
no matter how great the obstacles may be.

41
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:25,480
Ultimately, a man of faith and fortitude is a man of character and integrity.

42
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:34,040
He is driven by a sense of purpose and meaning and is determined to live a life of significance.

43
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:40,880
He is courageous and resolute in the face of adversity and challenge and is committed

44
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,160
to doing what is right no matter what the cost.

45
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,120
He is a humble and generous in his dealings with others and is willing to put the needs

46
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,200
of others before his own.

47
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,760
He is a leader in a role model and is guided by a set of values and principles that he

48
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,520
holds dear.

49
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,320
He is a man of faith and fortitude.

50
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,360
