All eight weeks

Week 7 · Loyalty and Benevolence

Brotherhood, Duty, and Service

Brotherhood is more than friendship. It is accountability, reliability, and a refusal to abandon someone in difficulty.

Each day teaches the job. You can follow it without the book and without a class. The book is where the stories and the training finish what a page opens.

The seven days

One job a day. Today is where you do it.

  1. 01Read the weekName the duties you will keep, and one loyalty you will refuse
  2. 02The practiceGive one man honest correction or real encouragement
  3. 03The practiceDo not abandon someone during a hard moment
  4. 04The practiceComplete a service or mentoring act if it is in your power
  5. 05Study loyaltyFaithfulness to worthy people, principles, responsibilities, and commitments.
  6. 06Close what is openFinish any practice still unchecked. Do not invent a new one.
  7. 07Close the weekRead what you wrote. Mark the week only if the conduct matched it.

Loyalty this week is concrete: family, the training community, your word, and the truth. It is never cover for wrongdoing. If a friend, leader, or group asks you to abandon righteousness, that is not loyalty.

Duty may take the form of a service project or a mentoring act. Encouragement and honest correction belong in the same week.
