The Blacksmith's Discipline | Session 5 - Ministry

When men hear the word ‘ministry,’ most check out. Why? Because they think it belongs to pastors, platforms, or perfect people. But what if ministry isn’t a role you earn—but a life you live? SUMMARY: Ministry isn’t a position we wait for—it’s the everyday obedience we walk in. Many men disqualify themselves, thinking they’re not equipped or worthy, but Scripture shows us that God uses ordinary men for extraordinary purposes. Ministry begins with one act of obedience that influences others for Christ, no matter your occupation or past. REFLECTION & SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. Why do you think so many men disqualify themselves from ministry before they even start? 2. How has your definition of “ministry” been shaped by church culture or tradition? 3. What does Acts 4:13 reveal about the kind of men God uses? 4. How does Colossians 3:23–24 challenge your view of daily work and ministry? 5. What specific act of obedience is God prompting you to take right now? 6. How can one small act of obedience create spiritual influence, even without a title? 7. What lies have you believed about your ability to be used by God? 8. How does Paul’s example in Romans 1:9–15 inspire you to influence others despite obstacles? 9. What’s one practical way you can integrate ministry into your current vocation this week? 10. In what ways can you encourage another man who feels disqualified from serving God?
