This week, we confront the raw, real-world challenge of "Big Buck Jealousy" that can creep into even the tightest hunting camp. It’s easy to feel sour when your buddy tags a monster and your own tag is still empty.
We dive into 1 Corinthians 3:3, which directly addresses the fleshly nature of jealousy and strife among believers. The hosts confess that even they struggle with "shards of jealousy" when a friend kills a spectacular deer. This challenge serves as a powerful opportunity for self-reflection and a chance to be shaped into the image of Jesus Christ.
Next, we look at Acts 14:13, where the crowd attempts to offer sacrifices to Paul and Barnabas. This moment of misplaced glory reminds us to check our own ego and focus on the true Creator.
Deer camp is the perfect setting to demonstrate Christ-like conduct. We discuss how to defeat envy by using the camp's forced proximity to practice patience, encourage one another, and genuinely rejoice with those who rejoice. True Christ-likeness is modeled by focusing on the shared connection and brotherhood, rather than the size of the rack. Finally, we use Revelations 21:7 to encourage you to be a courageous and bold overcomer for Christ, demonstrating your faith to your buddies in the woods.
