START HERE! Christian Warrior Mission 90-Day Crucible Challenge Instructions! Welcome, Fellow Warriors of the Cross! The Christian Warrior Mission's 90-Day Crucible Challenge isn't just another program. It's a rigorous training ground, a spiritual boot camp designed to mold you into a Christian Warrior for Jesus Christ. The crucible awaits—forge your spirit, mind, and body into an unbreakable weapon for the Lord.
The 90-Day Crucible Challenge is an accountability challenge that will take you from zero (or wherever you are currently) to having a solid, well-rounded foundation within 90 days by taking deliberate action in each of our five pillars: Faith, Family, Fitness, Fundamentals, and Finances. After 90 days, we will continue to build upon that foundation with the lifelong goal of forging you into a highly-trained Christian Warrior for Jesus Christ. This is what Discipling is all about. Simply put, this is a WAY OF LIFE. Why did we choose these categories as the 5 pillars of being a Christian Warrior? Read on.
FAITH: YOUR SPIRITUAL SHIELD AND SWORD
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God..." Ephesians 6:10-11
The first Pillar is FAITH. FAITH is not merely a pillar—it is the bedrock upon which all others stand. Each day, clothe yourself in the Armor of God, enter the battle room of prayer, and engage in acts that honor His holy name. This is non-negotiable; God reigns supreme, and your first allegiance is to Him. FAITH is the foundation of success in ALL areas of our lives, so it will be woven throughout everything we do. We also want to ensure that we are deliberate in our relationship with GOD, honor him as our top priority, and put HIM first.
FAMILY: YOUR SPIRITUAL BATTALION
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15 The Second Pillar is FAMILY and should be the primary focus of your life after GOD. Your most important job is to DISCIPLE YOUR FAMILY! We are called to lead those around us into disciples of Jesus Christ. As a Christian Warrior, the health of your family relationships significantly impacts the health of all other areas of your life. We define Family as your immediate and extended Family, any close non-blood relationships that affect your life, and lastly, your neighbors. You are strongest as a warrior when your Family works together as one body, and this challenge will help you attain that.
We are also called to love our neighbors as ourselves. We should seek to help them once we have put our own houses in order, obeying the commands of our LORD to make disciples of all nations.
FITNESS: HIS TEMPLE, YOUR FORTRESS
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit?" 1 Corinthians 6:19
The third Pillar is FITNESS. Your body is a temple and a fortress. FITNESS prepares you for the physical trials and tribulations you'll face, making you a weapon for the Lord's work. Daily physical training is part of your spiritual mandate because your health is your physical resiliency and impacts your effectiveness in combat. We are called to treat our bodies as a temple of the Holy Spirit and honor His glory with all we eat, drink, and do. Taking care of your body and your health should be a priority, not only to glorify God but also so that you are ready to defend yourself and your loved ones whenever necessary.
FUNDAMENTALS: THE WARRIOR'S TACTICAL GUIDE
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." Matthew 5:9
The fourth Pillar is FUNDAMENTALS. Being a Warrior of Christ doesn't exempt you from conflict—it prepares you for it. Master lifesaving skills: self-defense, emergency preparedness, and essential crafts like carpentry and farming. FUNDAMENTALS Provide you with the knowledge and skills you need not only to defend yourself, your Family, and your community. But to also be the greatest asset to your Family and community. Being a protector/guardian and provider is what Christian Warriors were created to be. We hear many questions and concerns from Christians who do not believe that violence is ever okay within the constraints of the Bible. We are called to protect the innocent and vulnerable from those who would seek to do evil.
FINANCES: YOUR WAR CHEST
"Well done, good and faithful servant." Matthew 25:21
The last Pillar, your FINANCES, represents God's resources entrusted to you. This is your war chest; steward it well to free yourself from worldly chains and armor up for the Kingdom's work. FINANCES can be a temptress of sin, chasing earthly things of wealth and status. It can also be a prison of stress, unbelief, and poverty. Look to The Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30 to see how GOD looks upon those who fail to be responsible shepherds with what GOD blesses us with. Our finances are our material resources and war chest. We must eliminate the slave driver of debt and avoid the temptress of worldliness.
HOW DOES THIS CHALLENGE WORK?
Daily Five Pillar Challenges will be shared Monday through Sunday to the Patriot Crusader Members Only Facebook Group. The night before, Jason will post his actions as an example in each Pillar category. Use this for inspiration only. Start where YOU are and use our content as a template for what will work best with your body, schedule, and ability. JUST DO SOMETHING FOR EVERY DAY FOR ALL 5 PILLARS! Participants will then REPLY TO EACH PILLAR what they completed in each Pillar category. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and share thoughts, comments, and pictures of their progress in the comment section on the FACEBOOK group. Didn't start on the same day as we did? No problem! You can start at YOUR Day 1 and go at your own pace. Here is the bad news. If you skip a day, you must START ALL THE WAY BACK AT DAY 1!
Enable your settings to be notified when there are new posts for your attention. We strongly encourage your participation in all discussions.
Gird your loins, fasten your belt of truth, and take up the shield of faith. For as it is written in Proverbs 27:17, "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another." Let us march forward in divine formation, Locking shields with one another. Each one of us; a crucial link in the impenetrable shield wall of God's army.
Prepare for glory in Christ. The Crucible awaits.
