Iron Faith 2026 — Walking With Jesus
Thumos Training · Iron Faith 2026
Walking
With Jesus
A testimony on tough beginnings, building with purpose, and who you are in Christ.
01
Opening
Where Do
You Come From?
  • Has where you come from ever felt like a ceiling?
  • Everyone has a story — yours matters
  • Where I came from → what God did → who you are
"

You are not the victim of a cosmic mistake. You are the recipient of a plan more ancient than the stars.

The Story
A Tough
Childhood
  • The environment, the pain, the moments that shaped me
  • The lies I believed about myself
  • Building worth on performance, approval, survival
  • The moment something cracked open
"

People build their sense of worth on performance, appearance, approval, achievement. All of it is sand. All of it will shift.

Faith Meets Action
Starting
the Business
  • The dream — and the fear that almost stopped it
  • Real obstacles, real setbacks, real doubt
  • Obedience before outcome
  • What it looks like when God shows up in the grind
"

You don't train to become worthy. You train because you already are — in Him.

Foundation
Rooted
in Faith
  • Faith isn't just church — it's a daily relationship
  • What happens when you're not rooted
  • Roots aren't visible — but everything depends on them in the storm
  • Prayer · Scripture · Community · Mentorship

"Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord… They will be like a tree planted by the water."

Jeremiah 17:7–8
05
The Core Message
Identity
in Christ
  • The world builds identity on things that shift
  • You are salt and light — Matthew 5:13–15
  • You are God's handiwork, made on purpose — Ephesians 2:10
  • You are a new creation — your past does not own you — 2 Cor 5:17
  • What lie are you still believing about yourself?
"

Jesus didn't say you should be these things. He said you are. That's your nature now — from the moment you stepped into His story.

Iron Faith 04 — Your Identity
The Greeks gave grace to friends.
God gave it to enemies.
He leaned toward you — even when you were leaning away.

Your identity is not what you achieve.
It's whose you are.

The Call
The Mission
& What's Next
  • You were not saved to stay small
  • Speak one truth about who you are in Christ — every day this week
  • Find one person to walk with
  • Take one step toward what God put in your heart
"

The command to make disciples isn't a burden laid on top of your already-full life — it's the thing that gives your life its deepest meaning.

Iron Faith 05 — The Mission
You don't have to earn your way to the life God has for you.
You're already in it.
Now go live like it.
