The Battle Lines
The Battle Lines are 7 non-negotiables that shape the ethos of The Grit and Co. and direct our decision making within our lives, families, and business.
1. KINGDOM FIRST
Above all, the directives of the Kingdom of God take priority over our own will and desire. Humility before pride, we trust God's perfect will.
2. UNTO THE GRAVE
We will fight and persist to uphold the commitments we have made to ourselves, our families, and God. Daily we will fight to lead, protect, grow, serve, and defend the truth until the end.
3. EAT LAST, SERVE FIRST
In a world that encourages and glorifies a self-centered life we pray that we would instead be given a heart after God. As the Son of God came to serve and sacrifice, we aspire to live a life that serves our families, friends, and communities above our own interests.
4. OBEDIENCE TO GOD, REBELLION TO TYRANTS
Our loyalty and commitment is to the Kingdom of God over the kingdoms of men. When tyranny faces our nation and stands in direct conflict with the directives of Christ, we will stand in opposition and seek to defend God's way.
5. SWING THE AXE
Success in life demands perseverance. Many things of worth require repeated steps of preparation and tedious work but are worth the labor in the end. We commit to seeing the tasks through completion, one swing at a time.
6. HANDS TO WAR, FINGERS TO FIGHT
We believe in training ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually to combat the fights both in our minds and at our doors. It is our responsibility to protect our families and defend our homes. We will seek peace but prepare for battle.
7. HOLD THE LINE
In a world that believes that good is evil and evil is good, we will hold the line for what is truly right. The Word of God is our standard, and we hold to it unapologetically. In pain or comfort, loss or gain, hate or love, we will stand in the gap regardless of the cost.
FOR THIS WE FIGHT
