Faith and Trust E188
This is a battle for many Christians, and well men... us too. We struggle to understand faith and trust when things get rough. Why is it we struggle with understanding God's will for us when things are tough?

If We Don't Step Up, Satan Will E187

Banner of Fear E186
This episode is a call for all of you who believe God is asking you to do something and are allowing Fear to keep you from doing it. You will be surprised how Fear in many cases are excuses we use because we are afraid of the unknown or we use our current comfort in life to keep us where we are.

Art Of Staying Hurt E174

Shepherd's Voice E 173
Sometimes we think we need someone with "Skin On Them" over trusting in God and the Holy Spirit. This is why when leaders who believe they are what you "need" do their best to have you follow them over following Jesus. Do you struggle chasing after leaders over God? Then when God is speaking you cannot hear?

Faith is Hard E166
When you have faith and yet things do not happen the way you expected... What do we do?
Doubting God E165
I will be out for 1 or 2 podcasts due to moving. We do not have a rental house yet, and this week until next will be super busy for my wife and I... please pray!
So I say that above because this weeks episode is about Doubting God... yeah... I am feeling overwhelmed and well this episode is about what we do when we doubt, like Doubting Thomas, trusting God through all the struggles in faith, trust, and OBEDIENCE!
Bible Verse(s): Psalm 27; John 20:24-29; Joshua 1:9
Be-Attitudes Persecution Gospel E164
This is the last Be-Attitude episode. This is about understanding being persecuted to where people attack you. Not all persecution leads to death, but today's world they can use social media. Yet, what does this mean to be messengers of reconciliation? Does the gospel teach about judgment?

Be-Attitudes Pure Heart Seeing God E161

Bible Verse(s): Matthew 5; Ephesians 5:1-12; Psalm 24; Psalm 119:9-16
That is Unfair E160
Sometimes life seems unfair, that things seem to happen for those who do not love God. I have struggled with that before, and the word UNFAIR always seems to show itself. It can be possible to give up on all morals, truth, and walking away from the faith to get all that this world could offer... the Turkish Delights (Narnia reference) of this world. At the end, what will that offer?
Bible Verse(s): Psalm 37; Proverbs 29:27
Be-Attitudes Showing Mercy E159
Mercy is something many men fail or struggle with as we are very competitive, and we want to win. That also means when we are treated badly... we want justice. Di not God show us mercy through Jesus?
Bible Verse(s): Matthew 5; Ephesians 4:30-32; Hebrews 4:16; James 2:13; 1 John 1:9
Be-Attitudes: Broken to Righteousness E158
Being hungry for God means something has to break in our life to be willing to chase after righteousness. We have to stop chasing after this world, and start chasing after God. We need to truly put our satisfaction in God and stop seeing the Fog of War, the schemes of the Devil... He is there reaching out for you to come! Will you come? Bible Verse(s): Matthew 5; Psalm 119:169-176; 1 John 3:4-10; John 16:33

Bible Verse(s): Matthew 5; Romans 12:3-7; Romans 12:1-2; Matthew 6:2
Be-Attitudes: Mourn Sin E156
This one is a huge talk- How lightly do you treat sin in your life? In the Be-Attitudes it talks about Blessed are the mourning... did you know it is about mourning over your sin? We ALL struggle over sin, how much control does it have over you? Do you even fight it?
Bible Verse(s): Matthew 5; James 4:7-10; 2 Corinthians 7:2-16

Bible Verse(s): Matthew 5; Luke 18:9-14; Ephesians 4:1-3
Betrayed To Forgive E154
At the time of when we are hurt by others or by those who who have betrayed us we all want fairness. However, when we allow God to fight our battles it will not be as the way we would like it to be. This is a little on what happened to my wife and I a time back, but it is also about what God had taught me these last few months about forgiveness.
Bible Verse(s): Ephesians 6:10-12; 2 Samuel 18:9-15; 31-33; Romans 12:19-21
A Matter of Integrity E153
Episode 153– A Matter of Integrity
What does it mean to have moral integrity? Should men have integrity today? We are called to be godly and righteous, and being a man of integrity is taking on a moral principle of living as it is in Scripture to live. There are qualifications we can practice.
Bible Verse(s): 2 Peter 1:3-10; Romans 2:20-24; James 2:1-13
Tunnel Vision E152
Lately God has been reminding me that I have been tunnel visioning His guidance. I have been trying to force a door open that God has not opened. How many of you are trying to understand God's direction and leading? How many of you feel confused, frustrated, and feel like you are failing? Check this episode out.
Bible Verse(s): John 16:12-15; Joshua 6, Romans 10:17; James 1:22-25; Matthew 7:24-27
Faith Bigger than a Giant E151
David's Faith comes from somewhere? What is it that helped him see God as he did before Goliath? Maybe we are being called like David, but we allow fear or doubt to get in the way?
Bible Verse(s): 1 Samuel 17; Psalm 119:33-40; 1 Samuel 16; 13:14 Hebrews 11:6
The Humble Mark
We battle following God or following the World. We want to leave a mark in this world, a legacy worth remembrance. So we think by finding a mark to live by in the world is how we can reach the world. That mark becomes our VERSION of life. We never understood what it means to humble ourselves to God- Only Jesus- there is nothing that this world can offer that will matter once we are with Jesus. Will you humble yourself to Jesus?
Bible Verse(s): Romans 12:1-3; James 4:3-6; Micah 6:8; Philippians 2:3-4; Proverbs 3:34, 29:23
Doubt in Storms E149
There are times where we begin to doubt God, doubt our faith, and doubt our worth. However is it because God left us? Are we focusing on the storms around us instead of Jesus? Or maybe we are trying to force doors open and not seeing the others He has opened?
Bible Verse(s): Matthew 7:7-11; Matthew 14:22-33; James 1:5-8; James 4:1-4
Progressive Painting E148
Progressive painting is all about how easy our foundational truth is painted enough to seem better. As Israel wanted to be like the other nations, our Christian Culture wants to be like the Culture. How are we to progress if we have not changed? We have not changed because our foundation is absolute/Solid Ground. Many progressive Christians want us to deconstruct the foundation to create a better painting of the original Art work.
Bible Verse(s): 1 Samuel 8; Gen 3; Ephesians 4:11-16; John 14:5-7; 2 Peter 2:1-3
The Unknown Road E147
This episode is much for myself as much as it is for you all. I can fail to remember sometimes that trusting God can be a lack of trust or forcing a will that is not of God. I had been trying to force this ministry to happen when I wanted and not allowing God to prepare it right... In His timing. Have you been trying to figure out the path He has for you? Do you struggle in trying to force things and nothing works out? If you want to know the path He has for you then this one is for you, just know that the path maybe a desert road, unkown, and nothing we have ever expected. God has the plan... are you ready to allow Him to lead and you follow?
Bible Verse(s): Proverbs 3:1-8; Isaiah 55:8-9; Colossians 2:8-10; Isaiah 58:11; John 4:13-15
The Grudge E146
Do you hold a grudge? This episode is all about that grudging anger inside that we hold against others and enemies... we say we forgive but we demand justice. As a Christian, forgiveness is not about making them pay the debt they deserve, but giving it to God. When we allow that Grudging flame to fester... it will turn into anger, bitterness, and then burn everyone... burn your life. We will be so focus on that flame that we will miss out on God's Peace, Love, and a life full of His will for us. Let Go!
Bible Verse(s): Psalm 37:8; James 1:19-20; Colossians 3:13-14; Ephesians 4:31-32; Romans 12:18-21
Step in Faith E145
This was such a fun episode for me. Stepping in faith is hard, but if God is calling you to do something... are you obeying? Are you hiding? Ignoring? Using Excuses? This episode is about the passive men we have created in the Church Culture today. When God calls us to do something and we don't... He will give it to someone else.
Bible Verse(s): 1 Corinthians 16:13-14; Judges 4; Hebrews 5:11-14
Are We Forgetting God? E144
Are we being like Israel with the judges, forgetting God? Are we going back to the gods of the inhabitants? What has happened that has caused this cycle to continue? This episode is about remembering what we were taught and teaching others.
Bible Verse(s): Judges 3; 4; 6; 8 2ndhalf- Judges 2; Judges 21:25; Titus 2:1-6; James 1:22-25
Is Chivalry Dying? E143A
Is Chivalry Dying today? Can Chivalry be a way to live today? Did you know that Christians are suppose to have a Chivalrous perspective about how they live ands treat others? This is a bit long but with a lot of thought and concern all in one for men today in a world that does not want us to be chivalrous by any means.
Bible Verse(s): Proverbs 21, Proverbs 11; Galatians 5:13-15; 22-24; Colossians 3:12-17

Lion and Lamb: Being Strong and Courageous E142

Knights need Good Soldiers behind them-After thought for Leading Upright
Something that came to mind right after I downloaded the last episode. I hope this is encouraging!
Lion and Lamb: Leading Upright E141
We continue to talk about the series of Lion and Lamb for Christian manhood. Last week we talked about gentleness this week is about leading upright. Some of us mean believe we are never to be leader, but leading is a part of the Christian manhood. Leading our families, leading in the church, and in the community. it is not about being qualified in the sense of officership it is all about being qualified as we should be, even if we will never be a pastor, deacon, or elder of the church. What is keeping you from chasing such qualifications in Titus 1?

Grow Up! E139
Grow Up, yeah this sounds harsh! We always got to practice growing up, and others still need to. So many young people have been taught to be young until 18 and then grow up suddenly. Now we have a spiritual immature adults. It is not about a certain generation- this ranges in many generations who have focused on the world over their walk with God. Sadly, our younger generations have been subject of the lack of Discipleship from the church and parents. Many of us will have weakness because of the lack of maturity while we also will have strengths that we can teach. Remember we are in a constant state of growth and teaching.
Bible Verse(s): Ephesians 4:11-16; Proverbs 25:28; Hebrews 5:11-14; 1 Corinthians 3:1-11; 16-17
