❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱ From the Desk of the President Dear Friend of CBMC, Summer can be one of the busiest times for my family, and I suppose the same is probably true for many of you. Between vacations, activities, and work, this seems to be a non-stop season. Unless we intentionally slow down the summer months will pass us by, and before we know it, kids are back in school, and the stores are filling up with Christmas decorations. I have decided to be intentional with my summer. It doesn’t mean life stops, but I am saying “no” to good things in order to make room for great things. For me, this will be a season to reflect, remember, ponder, and consider. As I reminisce, gratitude starts to build up, and I am overwhelmed at the goodness of God and His patience with me. As I consider all the gifts God has given me, I am keenly aware that I don’t want to miss a single moment of my present and my future. This special summer edition of The Connector spotlights CBMC men who have incredible stories of faith, life-change, and legacy. I’m excited for you to read these powerful articles. Bill Ryan shares how, despite a tragic accident, God wasn’t done with him yet. A young professional, Brad Stiglemen experienced a radical life-change when his CBMC team read a book together that God used to speak to him. Reflections on a life well-lived, by Robert Tamasy, will make you stop and ponder the important things.

NATIONAL UPDATE
Powerful testimonies of leadership and business God’s way is sparking a movement among YPs.
The inaugural meeting of one of the newest CBMC Young Professional teams recently took place. One of six YP teams in the Tampa area, this group recently met with visiting CEO Richard Hayes of Digital LightBridge. With a message to encourage the next generation, Richard gave a stirring testimony and implored the young men to be fearless. Pray that God would continue to raise up men to answer the calling to a life of fearless faith following after Jesus. ■
I’m Listening, God.
Young Professional team Bravo
Young Professionls engaging and connecting with each other at CBMC events.
by Brad Stigleman, Young Professional CBMC Member Since 2014 Usually, it takes thoughtful, focused prayer for me to understand God’s will. Sometimes I’ll spend days praying on and searching for an answer to a problem and, even then, the signs are often subtle and the answer is yet a whisper. I believe God works in this way because he wants me to be wholly focused on Him and His plan, not my own selfish desires. But sometimes God screams at me. Such was the case when reading Warren Wiersbe’s book On Being a Servant of God in my CBMC Young Professionals group. God used this book to open my eyes to some of the most destructive behavior in my life; harboring a grudge and cultivating an enemy. In 2010 I went through a very contentious divorce. My ex-wife and I share a daughter and seemingly every interaction over the last 7 years with my ex has been combative,
frustrating, and frankly exhausting. My ex was my enemy. Our culture has normalized these hostilities, attorneys by and large help to fuel them, and the court system thrives on them. What I realized as I read On Being a Servant of God is that I had created the enemy, and I was the one who had chosen to keep my enemy. As unsettling as that realization was, even more disturbing, are the costs associated with having an enemy. I have already paid some big bills financially, emotionally, and spiritually as a result of keeping an enemy. Wiersbe helped me realize the price could go much higher if I kept proceeding on the same path. Looking back, God had tried whispering to me about my failings in this area. He had given me warnings. My Pastor and the CBMC Area Director Dan Shock and I had had conversations about my dealings with my ex. God was speaking to me, but I wasn’t listening.
The night that we discussed Chapter 28 of the book, I admitted to my CBMC brethren that I had an enemy. I admitted that I was as much at fault as anyone for cultivating that enemy. I also recognized that I had never forgiven my ex-wife for the pain that she had caused me. Our discussion that night changed my whole perspective. That night I stopped being an enemy. On the suggestion of the group, I started praying for my ex-wife to live a righteous and honest life and to have insight into God’s Word. The relationship between my wife and my daughter is better than it has been in 3 years. The primary source of tension in my marriage has been released, and I no longer waste precious time on how to fight back after the latest attack from my ex-wife. There are still bills to pay from my past failings. I am still praying to find true forgiveness in my heart. God had to scream at me to get me to listen… I’m glad He did. ■
❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱ Hitting a Wall and Making a Breakthrough “I heard a crunch and immediately knew I was paralyzed. Unable to move, I sank in 14 inches of water, knowing I would drown if the lifeguards didn’t save me. Yet I felt the peace that passes all understanding that Philippians 4:7 describes. The apostle Paul’s words, ‘to live is Christ and to die is gain,’ came to mind. It seemed like a ‘heads I win, tails I win’ situation. If the lifeguard saved me, I still had more ministry on earth; if not, I’d be home with Jesus.” Bill Ryan
When we use the term “hit the wall,” it could mean someone’s progress has stopped. Or it might mean they have finally realized it’s time to stop and change direction in their lives. But for Bill Ryan, when he literally hit a wall in 2017, it meant a new opportunity for ministry. Even though it didn’t seem that way at the time. An accomplished swimmer who had spent 13 years as a swim coach at high school, college, national and international levels, before engaging in a number of business pursuits, Ryan had competed in the Senior Olympics in 2013, in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, winning two silver medals. Competing in another Senior Olympics in Birmingham, Ala. in 2017, he had won a gold medal in the 50yard freestyle event on the first day. He anticipated winning a second the next day in his best event, the 50-yard butterfly. Just before the race was to start, while he was standing on the blocks Ryan’s goggles fogged up and there was no time to clear the moisture from the lenses. “When I started, I felt great. I was focused on keeping my head down in order to stay horizontal, which is vital in the butterfly. My plan was to sight the cross on the bottom and not look up for the target at the end of the pool,” he recalled. “Just as I thought, ‘I haven’t seen the cross,’ I accelerated into the wall head first.
Bruce Rollins, a 6-foot-8 competitor with a big voice, was watching the race intently. He recognized Ryan’s plight and caught the lifeguard’s attention. “As they pulled me out of the water, I had the sense that I must have something more to do. Then I wondered, ‘Am I going to be a quadriplegic?’ followed by the same sense of peace,” Ryan said. Gradually the paralysis wore off, but in its place came intense pain. Over time, that pain also diminished. What remains to this day is minimal neuropathy.
about seeking how God would use his swimming mishap. In addition to being involved with CBMC beginning in 1986 and later becoming the leader of a Connect3 team, Ryan has served on the steering committee for leadership prayer breakfasts in Cleveland and nearby Akron. Over that span, a number of men became instrumental in his spiritual journey:
“As they pulled me out of the water, I had the sense that I must have something more to do.” Tony Ciepiel, the chairman of CBMC’s leadership team in Northeast Ohio who taught him a lot about discipling others; Joe Ferrini, who discipled Ciepiel and is founder of R2D2 (Radical
“When I was able to return home from being hospitalized in Birmingham, I also had a smashed nose that required reconstructive surgery and stitches in my forehead. In addition, I had the question of what exactly God had in mind for me to do. Then I heard a voice in my mind say, ‘I’m going to speak through you,’ Ryan said.” Eventually, he was able to resume swim training, but that was just a platform for God’s new calling on his life. This was when some of the connections he had established through CBMC came into play. One of the things he had learned through CBMC was intentionality in life and work, and he set

❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱ Revolutionary Dedicated Disciples of Christ), a discipleship course Ryan took several years ago; Larry Morrow, an emcee for many Christian events in the area, “and all the guys in my C3 team, as well as men I have been privileged to disciple.”
Morrow, known as “Mr. Cleveland,” who also teaches speech at John Carroll University, was inspired to invest in Ryan when he first heard him speak. He helped sharpen his skills for sharing his story in various settings, including CBMC events. To date, Ryan has told his story at more than 20 events in Ohio, Missouri, and Kansas. In the Cleveland area, CBMC has become a catalyst for a cooperative effort between parachurch ministries and churches of many denominations, and Ryan has become a key proponent of these supportive relationships. “Years ago, Henry Blackaby – the author of the Experiencing God studies – spoke here and said he sensed God was going to start a special work in Northeast Ohio, maybe even through the business community. CBMC has been at the focal point of this movement, and we’re seeing many ministries coming together in an amazing way,” he said. Now, despite his scare with paralysis, Ryan is back in the race, literally. Also having a home in Kansas City, he competed in the Kansas state games last fall, winning his events, and qualifying for nationals in Albuquerque, N.M. this summer. But foremost, whenever the opportunity presents itself, he wants to share his experience and the message of God’s love and grace with as many people as possible. “I don’t know if I would volunteer to go through this again, or prescribe it for anybody else, but it has turned out to be a blessing. God is using my experience as a platform. And if it’s a platform, I don’t want to walk – or swim – away from it.” ■
MAKING REUNIONS MORE MEANINGFUL High school reunions can be curious events. Ones held 5-10 years after graduation tend to become comparisons of careers, families and other personal accomplishments. Reunions held many years afterward can become “a colossal waste of time,” observed Bill Ryan, who after attending his 40th reunion in Michigan decided to do something to make the 50th more meaningful. “My 40th (in 2006) was at a country club, the music was loud, and we had only surface conversation,” Ryan said. “So as our 50th neared, I contacted the former homecoming queen, our class president and some people I really didn’t know very well. I suggested that we conduct a ‘Going Deep’ gathering in the afternoon before the official reunion.” This “Going Deep” preliminary consisted of “two hours together getting real. We didn’t feature beverage or snacks. And since it was during the 2016 Presidential campaign, we established a guideline that if anyone wanted to talk politics, there would be no fisticuffs,” he quipped. Ryan’s intention was to share his testimony, so he asked the moderator to place him at the end. But before he did so, two of his former classmates already had spoken about their faith in Christ. “It was a phenomenal success. Several people told me and the other organizers how much it had meant to them,” he said. “That included an avowed atheist who sat next to me during the program. He described himself as a scientist and had a career as a pharmacist. He said he thought the gathering was really good, even admitting, ‘I can’t believe what you believe – but maybe there’s room for further discussion.’” Since the August 2016 reunion, Ryan and this former classmate have stayed in contact almost monthly, talking by phone on the seventh day of each month at 7 p.m. “We have had open, challenging dialogue. We have gone through all kinds of apologetics. Occasionally we send each other links to videos, books or sermons/speeches that the other might find interesting. Iron sharpens iron. “We’ve challenged each other to examine our respective beliefs. He’s softened over time, and now considers himself an agnostic – but a seeking agnostic.” Commenting on the informal gathering in general, Ryan said it proved to be an effective, non-threatening platform for ministry. Everyone had an opportunity to share their story, whatever that happened to be. Now there are plans to do a similar meeting prior to his class’s 55th reunion in 2021. The reunion committee has officially adopted it as part of the weekend’s schedule, and he is eager to see how God uses the time.
Connect3 and Operation Timothy: Where Life and Faith Get Real
tend, 12-14 on any given week. About four of them work here, and the rest come from other industries. We start with prayer, then have a lesson, such as going through CBMC’s Living Proof or working through content from Operation Timothy. We break into smaller groups for discussion and then pray for each other. Our focus is always on Christ and the Scriptures.” An important third step for Pappas was starting to disciple other men individually through Operation Timothy. At present, he’s discipling three men.
❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱❱ Sam Pappas, to the left, leading a group of CBMC men.
In CBMC terms such as “life on life” and “doing life together” come up so often, they could start sounding like clichés. But that’s what happens, whether it’s taking someone through Operation Timothy, meeting with a Connect3 team every week, or helping one another address business challenges from a biblical perspective. This – and more – is what Sam Pappas has discovered since his introduction to CBMC in 2017. For years Pappas, president of MacArthur Associated Consultants in Edmond, Okla., a civil engineering firm, had been seeking a way to integrate his faith within his company in meaningful but unobtrusive ways. “I wanted to do something to help people at my company grow in the Lord. I wanted to be aligned with where I sensed God was leading me.” A first step was volunteering to help in following up with guests at Oklahoma City’s Metro Leadership Prayer Breakfast. Up to that point, he had been aware CBMC sponsored the event, but that was all he knew about the ministry. Step two was being invited to attend a Connect3 team meeting at Marty
Hepp’s company. Pappas became a regular participant for about three months until he decided to start a C3 team at his own business. “Before my involvement with a Connect3 team, I would have said I was accountable and transparent with others. But I discovered a level of trust with these men I had never experienced. If you confessed sin or an area of struggle, there was zero judgment. They were just there to pray for you
“I discovered a level of trust with these men I had never experienced.” and help in any way they could.” An added benefit, he said, was discovering mentors for how to run a business God’s way. “I could watch the other guys and see how they run their companies. They were blazing a trail ahead of me, and it was encouraging to see that they’re still learning, too.” After starting a C3 team at his own company, Pappas saw the same kind of openness develop there. “We have a total of 20 people who at-
“This has turned out to be one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done in my life,” he said. “When you get started, you focus on the basics, the fundamentals that set a firm foundation for the rest of the materials. But as you proceed, it covers so many facets of life and business, as well as how to relate to people we interact with every day.” An example was a time when one of his Timothys expressed frustration about the amount of work his wife expected him to do at home. “I told him about when my dad had Parkinson’s disease, and I was going to care for him 3-4 days a week,” Pappas said. “I was complaining to someone about this at church one day, and he just responded, ‘It’s an honor and a privilege to take care of our parents, isn’t it?’ That hit me, realizing what he had said was true. I told the young man I was discipling that we need to think this way about our family. “The next week he texted me, saying he had realized the honor it is to serve God by serving his family, instead of looking at the work as just something else he had to do.” “This past year, I’ve grown more personally than in the previous 10 years combined,” he said. “Through my C3 relationships I’ve learned to be more open and transparent, and as I love on other people at work – sharing the love of Christ with them – it’s changing our company from the inside out. I never want to force my beliefs on somebody, but when the opportunity arises, I tell about what God has done in my life. I want them to know that He loves them as well.” ■
Reflections on a Life Well-Lived By Robert J. Tamasy Years ago, the rock band MercyMe recorded the hit tune, “I Can Only Imagine.” It later served as the inspiration for a theatrical film, telling the story behind the song and its message which ponders what heaven must be like. Don’t you sometimes wonder about this yourself? These words take on a deeper meaning when a dear friend or loved one who follows Christ passes away, and it occurs to you that their wondering and imagining are over. A few months ago, my friend, Gilbert “Gib” Purtee, ended his year-long bout with cancer when he quietly drifted from this life to the next in his sleep. Over the months following his diagnosis and numerous treatments, Gib had voiced concern about the dying process, but never once did he fear the prospect of death. Many times he told me and others, “I can’t wait to see my Jesus.” For several years, Gib had been a fixture at the Tuesday noon CBMC meetings at Wally’s Restaurant in East Ridge, Tenn., eager to learn from others as well as share what God had been teaching him. This included the months while he was going through chemotherapy and other treatments, which ultimately failed to stem the progression of his disease. When people learned he was dealing with cancer, they would predictably respond, “Oh, I’m so sorry.” Gib usually took this as an open door to tell them there was no reason for feeling sorry, that he was looking forward to going

to heaven. Then he would kindly – but directly – ask if they had the same hope. His hearers marveled at his confidence; some called it courage. But as we studied the Scriptures together, even before he was diagnosed, Gib and I had talked about what the biblical term “hope” actually means – earnest expectation, confident assurance. And this is what Gib possessed until he drew his final breath. There was no hint of the tentative “hope-so” that comprises the best some people can muster as they consider their eternal destiny.
Over the months following his diagnosis and numerous treatments, Gib had voiced concern about the dying process, but never once did he fear the prospect of death. Many times he told me and others, “I can’t wait to see my Jesus. In 2 Corinthians 5:8, the apostle Paul writes, “We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.“ Gib could have written these words as well, and at last, the Lord has granted his “preference.” Now, no longer encumbered by disease and physical limitations, my friend is experiencing what I like to call the other side of eternity, since the Bible teaches that eternal life actually begins before death for all who have received Christ as Savior and Lord: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13). Gib was truly a gentle, congenial giant, the kind of man who never knew a stranger. Whether as an Uber driver, bass player in the church band, eating at a local restaurant, or sitting in a chair receiving his periodic chemotherapy treatments, he saw himself as an ambassador for his Lord. And he did his job well.
Gib Purtee with Colton
In the Bible, we occasionally come across seeming imponderable statements, making us want to stop, scratch our heads, and ask, “Say what?” The declaration of Psalm 116:15 is one of these: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” How can a loving God delight in the death of His children? How can someone’s passing be described as “precious”? I puzzled over that myself until I realized what we perceive as the end of someone’s life is actually the beginning of a new one, unfettered by sin, pain, sorrow and all the hardships of our temporal lives. But there’s another aspect to it as well. Think of a parent eagerly awaiting a beloved child’s return from a long stay in a distant land. I truly believe it’s that way with God the Father. We talk about people “going home to be with the Lord.” According to the Scriptures, that’s exactly what it is, our heavenly Father with open arms receiving us to our real home. I do wonder what it was like for Gib, as well as many other friends and loved ones, to be in the Savior’s presence for the first time. What a marvelous experience that must be, one that will never grow old for all eternity. As 1 John 3:2 tells us, “Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” Imagine that, Jesus looking at us and instantly seeing an undeniable family resemblance! ■
