Think about the five men you spend the most time with.
Now look in the mirror.
You’re more alike than you think, and it isn’t a coincidence.
Researchers Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler studied decades of data from the Framingham Heart Study. They found that when a man’s friend is obese, he’s 45% more likely to be obese too. If his friend’s friend is obese, he’s 20% more likely.
Read that again. Someone you’ve never met can shape your life.
That goes for your health, your habits, your marriage, and your faith.
God knew that from the beginning. That’s why the Holy Spirit led the Early Church to stay together:
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” (Acts 2:42)
They met often, prayed together and shared what they had. They were bound together in heart and spirit, and they turned the world upside down.
So here’s the question. Who’s influencing you right now? And are they pulling you closer to God or further away?
You need a bond of brothers, and that starts with a band of brothers.
