Ever wonder why Jesus didn't recruit from the religious elite? In this powerful episode of Raising The Standard, Josh Khachadourian breaks down the 5 strategic traits Jesus looked for in His disciples—and why these same characteristics are essential for Kingdom-driven men today.
Jesus didn't go after scholars or theologians. He walked straight to the marketplace and chose builders, business owners, and risk-takers with calloused hands and the courage to bet everything on a moment's notice. These weren't random choices—they were strategic decisions that reveal what Christ needs in men who will advance His Kingdom.
In this episode, you'll discover:
✅ Why Jesus recruited BUILDERS who owned businesses, homes, and had families (and why you need to be building something right now)
✅ The shocking truth about discretionary time and money—why the disciples could leave their businesses for 3 years and what that means for your financial stewardship
✅ How community experience qualified the disciples for Kingdom work (and why isolation is disqualifying you from your assignment)
✅ Why high risk tolerance was non-negotiable for fishermen on the Sea of Galilee—and why playing it safe is the riskiest move you can make
✅ The power of swift, high-risk decision making—why the disciples dropped their nets immediately and what's holding you back from decisiveness
This episode is for you if you want:
- Biblical masculinity principles that create real transformation
- Strategic insight into Jesus' leadership and disciple selection
- Practical coaching questions to challenge your current trajectory
- Tools to step into your full Kingdom assignment
- To understand what qualifies a man for greater responsibility in God's Kingdom
Powerful coaching questions inside:
- What are you building right now that Jesus could point to?
- Do you have margin? Could you step away if God called you today?
- Who's in your corner holding you accountable?
- Where are you playing it safe instead of stepping into risk?
- What decision are you avoiding that God has already spoken to you about?
