Mission Focused Men for ChristThe Resurrection of Jesus' BODY Not Just His SOUL MattersEpisode Summary: The resurrection reminds us that the gospel is not just about our personal, private salvation and growth in holiness (which is called the two-chapter gospel.) Such a gospel leads to separating from the lost, forgetting their inherent value as those created in God’s image, and devaluing the (common grace) contributions they make to our culture. In contrast, the resurrection of Christ’s physical body reminds us that the true gospel story has four chapters: creation, fall, redemption, restoration. Christ-followers are called to be part of the greatest mission in the history of the world, Chri...2025-04-2029 minMission Focused Men for ChristShaping Day-By-Day Life to Seek First the KingdomSummary: Hall of Fame NFL stars, besides excelling at unrelenting commitment to becoming the best they can be at their position, usually have developed a high football IQ, which helps them put playing their position in context.

Christ-followers are chosen to be a blessing to the rest of the world. God’s special revelation, the Word of God reveals to us wisdom that is more valuable than gold, truth that is more precious than diamonds.

George Barna’s Millennials in America report observes, “One of the most attention-grabbing attributes revealed in this research regarding the Millennial way of life is their widespread desire to identify a purpose for living. Three out of four Millennials are still searching for their purpose in life.” This evidence that Millennials want a life of purpose reminds me of the popularity of Rick Warren’s book, The Purpose Driven Life, which has been translated into 137 languages and sold more than 50 million copies. There is weighty evidence that human beings are designed to want a purpose...2023-01-1628 minMission Focused Men for ChristBuilding Your Wife’s Self-EsteemEpisode Summary. Thirty-five years ago, a psychologist from USC’s School of Medicine, named James Dobson, was concerned about husbands not understanding their wife’s emotional needs. His research led him to write a book entitled, What Wives Wish Their Husbands Knew About Women. He then wrote, “If I could write a prescription for the women of the world, I would provide each of them with a healthy dose of self-esteem and personal worth (taken three times a day until the symptoms disappear). I have no doubt this is their greatest need.” If you google, Depression Among Woman, m...2022-02-2826 minMission Focused Men for ChristHer Heart-Driven Hunger for a Spiritual LeaderEpisode Summary. In this episode we explore two biblical texts that help identify what a wife needs in a spiritual leader.

How does a husband romance his wife the way God designed her to be romanced? Scripture provides powerful answers. Today’s episode looks at a wife’s need for romance. Now, it’s just a guess, but I suspect you find trying to meet this need very pleasurable. But be warned. No husband and wife walk down their wedding aisle expecting their romance to fall apart, but 50% of Christian marriages fail, bringing enormous emotional devastation to spouses and children.

In Genesis 2:15, we are told that Adam was placed in the Garden to cultivate (AVAD) it and to protect (SHAMAR) it. Throughout history it has been a man’s responsibility to stand in the doorway of his home, spear or shotgun in hand to protect (SHAMAR) his wife and kids from marauding gangs who might steal their food, rape their wife, or harm their children. In the 21st century, men have the same protective responsibility; but the enemies to be resisted are not ravaging pirates or plundering thieves, but ideas that want to ...2021-09-0622 minMission Focused Men for ChristA Costly Investment that Pays Great DividendsEpisode Summary. What do you think of the statement, God never intended a Christian man to fight his spiritual battles alone? Could that statement be true? And if it is, could Satan be constantly defeating Christian men today because it is so hard to get them connected to a few brothers to help them fight their spiritual battles? Could the world around us see Christians today as not very different from everyone else, because Satan is neutralizing Christ’s power at work in men by isolating us, when men are supposed to be leading the wa...2021-08-3025 minMission Focused Men for ChristObstacles to Walking Closely With ChristEpisode Summary: In John 10:10 Jesus taught his followers that he had come that they might have life and have it abundantly(vs 10). Later in John 15, he explained HOW IT IS that Jesus imparts that spiritual life to us. He said, I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever ABIDES in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. Spiritual flourishing results from ABIDING in Christ. That is not a word we use much today.

These words came from a veteran Christian counselor who had once been a beat cop on the streets of Miami. I think this counselor is right—which means that today’s Christian men need to be steering the rising generation towards wholeheartedly embracing God’s gender design. But there are two BIG OBSTACLES to getting the rising generation to embrace the biblical worldview concerning gender.

A few years ago, while having lunch with a Marine Corps officer at Quantico, he said, “My 12- year-old daughter just told my wife and me that she is transgender. What do you think I should do?” In America the current administration is working very hard to promote transgenderism. A week ago, we had a transgender day of visibility proclaimed at the White House, executive orders have been signed, and the Equality Act is winding its way through the halls of Congress.

Masculinity, itself, is under assault by many in our culture, some out of simple rebellion against God’s design, but many, because they’ve been injured by toxic masculinity in its various forms. This episode calls Christian men to show the world the glory of God’s design of manhood as it should be, because we know how to draw u...2021-04-0525 minMission Focused Men for ChristPalm Sunday and Your Own Mission StatementSummary: In recent years we have seen the rise of a new industry called life coaching. A life coach asks you what is most important in your life and helps you shape a personal mission statement around your goals. Jesus assigned his followers their personal life mission statement. He said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.” But to be honest, without some good theology and a little historical background, the concept of the kingdom of God is way too fuzzy and nebulous for anyone to base his life direction upon, much...2021-03-2921 minMission Focused Men for ChristStudying How Lust Defeated DavidSummary: Men hate to lose at anything. But these days, many Christian men, including married guys, are losing the battle with lust, looking at porn on their phone and masturbating. Strong, urgent, forceful, and impatient, the sex drive dominates the mind and body of every healthy male. These strong sexual urges start off as simply the result of hormones. But surrendering to lust repeatedly strengthens lustful cravings, sows the seeds of selfishness, and interferes with our spiritual perception. “The pure in heart,” said Jesus, “are those who see God.” We are going to repeatedly lose battle with lust, bu...2021-03-2225 minMission Focused Men for ChristWhy Prayer Releases Spiritual PowerSummary: God’s salvation plan for Adam, his descendants, and his kingdom is not for those living in 2021 to withdraw from this evil world and wait around for Jesus to return to destroy evil. The gospel of the kingdom, taught by Jesus, is that Jesus reigns right now and he wants us to seek to spread his kingdom of righteousness over the earth, in this life. In this pursuit, God tells us that our battle is not with flesh and blood. We are to love every human being made of flesh and bl...2021-03-1525 minMission Focused Men for ChristUsing the Sword of the Spirit to Stay on the Path of LifeSummary: The biblical context for viewing all of life’s events is called spiritual warfare—the age-old conflict between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light…. Biblically and practically speaking, we are in a spiritual war. The Christian’s spiritual enemy is not in uniform, and he doesn’t meet us on an identifiable battlefield. He uses ruthless and unconventional tactics such as deceit, deflection, and disguise…. The church of Jesus Christ needs to know its enemies and his strategies. Above all, Christians need to know how to gain victory over this enemy.

Most Christian men want to be contagious Christians.

We also realize that if we are to lead our homes well, our wives and kids need to see us mo...2021-02-0724 minMission Focused Men for ChristMyths That Make Us Fear Sharing Our FaithSummary. Often Christians think of evangelism like this: It is having the courage to overcome every piece of emotional intelligence we’ve learned about relationships, and intruding into the life of a co-worker, neighbor, or stranger to tell someone, who doesn’t want to hear it, the gospel message that they are a sinner in need of a savior, and then being willing to suffer rejection if we are accused of being preachy. If that is what sharing our faith looks like, who would want to do it? But this view is NOT BIBLICAL. It has m...2021-02-0124 minMission Focused Men for ChristUnderstanding the Breastplate of RighteousnessSummary: Do you ever feel like our side is losing in the spiritual battle—that the powers of darkness and evil are winning? Perhaps more specific to our own lives, do you ever wonder why the Christian life is so hard, why sin so easily ensnares us, why our whole-hearted resolve on Sunday to love Jesus better by obeying him more has given way to blatant sin by Sunday night? Today we continue our series, Winning Spiritual Battles Because We Use Our Spiritual Weapons. Paul tells us that to fight evil we must put on the breastplate of...2021-01-2525 minMission Focused Men for ChristKnowing How NOT to Promote Biblical TruthEpisode Summary: Is our mission today, as Christians living in America, to recover America as a Christian nation? As we process what happened in the last election and the storming of the Capitol since, Christians are divided. Eschewing passivity, many believers feel impelled to speak up on the social media to fight a movement rooted in ungodliness, which they see shaping our culture. They are appalled that younger Christian leaders either don’t seem to see this happening or seem to lack the courage to speak up about it. Other believers are horrified at the vie...2021-01-1824 minMission Focused Men for ChristPrayer That Defeats EvilSummary: This episode continues the series, Winning Spiritual Battles Because We Use Our Spiritual Weapons. Every guy who gets this podcast would stand at the door of his house with a shotgun to protect his family physically. But most Christian men feel inept and inadequate at fighting to protect them, spiritually. As we saw last week, Jesus told his disciples the ultimate weapon for defeating Satan is prayer. But if we are going to use this weapon effectively in spiritual battle, we need to understand it. This...2021-01-1125 minMission Focused Men for ChristUsing the Spiritual Weapon Satan Most FearsSummary: This episode begins the series, Winning Spiritual Battles Because We Use Our Spiritual Weapons. As we seek to run well the race marked out for us in 2021, i.e. advance the righteous reign of King Jesus in our own lives, God has ordained one, primary offensive weapon that overthrows the kingdom of darkness: PRAYER. Jesus said to Peter, “Satan has demanded to sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you “(Luke 22:31-32). One veteran missionary writes, There is nothing on earth that Satan so fears as prayer. He cannot triumph over...2021-01-0424 minMission Focused Men for ChristHonoring Christ More Than Ever in 2021Summary: As we turn our thoughts to the year ahead, wouldn’t it be great if Jesus came to you and said, “This is what I want you to concentrate on most in 2021. In the year ahead, this is the matter of greatest importance for you.” I think most of us getting this podcast or blog would listen very carefully to what Jesus said, and immediately begin forming our plan to reach this objective that The Master says is of greatest importance. But what if Jesus has already told us that? This episode takes a fresh look at how...2020-12-2824 minMission Focused Men for ChristHow Jesus’ Incarnation Generates Passion For Our MissionSummary: Running the race marked out for us requires endurance and therefore the fuel to keep running laps. Today’s episode has the potential to generate thousands of kilowatts of spiritual power for pursuing our three callings: Called TO Christ to enjoy a love relationship with him, Called TO BE LIKE Christ to holy Christ-like attitudes, and called to EXERCISE DOMINION FOR CHRIST, as we seek to influence the spheres of our lives towards righteousness. This energy comes from taking a close look at the significance of Jesus’ incarnation.

It turns out that the Christmas season is a great time to sharpen our focus on what OUR everyday mission as Christ-followers IS because we better understand what CHRIST’s mission WAS. Jesus’ mission was NOT merely to come down from heaven, die for our sins, and then whisk us back to heaven when we die. If that had been JESUS’ mission, then OUR miss...2020-12-0724 minMission Focused Men for ChristHeart-Transformed LivingSummary: When Jesus came to earth, the teaching of the Scriptures had been so horribly corrupted by the Pharisees that an Israelite man thought his mission from God was the lifeless keeping of thousands of requirement in God’s rule book that had been expanded by the Pharisees to 30 volumes of do’s and don’ts. In utter contrast to this externally focused, rule- keeping slavery, Jesus said, those who enjoyed the presence of God never were the self-righteous rule-keepers but those who were pure in heart. Jesus’ message was, “righteousness is a matter of the heart and that ba...2020-11-3023 minMission Focused Men for ChristShowing Jesus to the World by Being MercifulSummary: This episode continues the series, Christ’s Compelling Mission for Us. We know that Christ’s mission for us is TO BE LIKE HIM and that he gave a summary of his heart attitudes in the Sermon on the Mount. In past episodes (season #1 episodes 8-11), we examined the first four beatitudes. Today we come to the fifth, from Matt 5:7, Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

The thought crosses our minds, “Why battle for truth in a world that hates you? After all, Jesus was clear to his disciples, If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.Why bother trying to shape our election based on arguing for biblical principles.

But we will, if we forget one of the commands of Peter that is a prerequisite for having such an impact—BE READY. Always be ready, writes Peter to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you (1 Pet 3:15).In other words, Peter commands every Christian to prepare ahead of time—that is what “ready” means.

When this wrong idea captured Eve’s heart, she rebelled, Adam rebelled with her, and humans have been rebelling against God and his law ever since. Satan’s chief strategy to inspire rebellion in Eve’s heart was to make her doubt God’s goodness.

In my view, Christians today should be leading the way in the fight against toxic masculinity for the honor of Christ, because the world needs self-giving manhood, and because so many of the solutions to toxic masculinity being offered in our culture are destructive.

Such dreams should not surprise us since men are created for impact; that is why God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden, to transform it, to enable it to reach its full potential, to cause the world and culture to flourish. This episode explains how sin has corrupted that calling to make an impact in the world and challenges men to impact the world around them in five ways.

We enjoy seeing our teachers’ A at the top of our essay, hearing “good game,” or gazing on the diplomas on our wall that verify that we have been approved by an educational institution to receive a high school, bachelor’s, master’s, or doctor’s degree. Wanting approval often leads us down a path to success and achievement; but it can also lead us in directions of compromise, regret, and self-loathing, when we weakly surrender to unhealthy peer pressure. We all know the experience of hearing our conscience warn us, “say no”...2020-08-1721 minMission Focused Men for ChristWhy Enjoying God is So Important & How to Do ItMission focused men realize that their mission begins with the Call TO Christ, to enjoy a love relationship with him.

This role can come to us in countless ways—by being assigned by God to spiritual leadership at home as a husband and father, or by serving as a church or ministry leader. Leadership can come with being the default spiritual influencer on your sports team or among your friends. It can be the result of assuming responsibility to steer brothers and sisters in your extended family towards Christ, or neighbors, or work associates. This ep...2020-07-2020 minMission Focused Men for ChristRaising Kids Up In the Way They Should GoMen want to succeed at everything they do. They want to know which hill to take. They want a clear target on the wall so they can focus their masculine energy into it.

The common thread in these themes, is the break-down of the proper use of authority in our streets and homes. This episode looks at four restraints upon evil that God provid...2020-06-2922 minMission Focused Men for ChristResponding to the Argument that the Bible Teaches PatriarchyFor decades we have been hearing that the Bible is laced with a patriarchal bias, which more enlightened, modern Christians must uncover and correct. This episode examines this flawed argument, which if left unchecked will shape the rising generation in our homes and churches. It then identifies and amplifies five facets of biblical fatherhood that meet the needs of a child’s heart. 2020-06-2223 minMission Focused Men for ChristFatherhood Is Irreplaceable In God’s Design of HumansThe horrific murder of George Floyd and lawless property theft and destruction taking place across America have put our focus on American cities, the plight of the urban poor, and especially black urban poor. This focus has rightly challenged Christians to consider how better to confront racism in our own lives and American institutions. As Fathers’ Day approaches, I want to also suggest that, as we consider the plight of the urban poor in America, we recognize the epidemic of fatherlessness taking place in our cities and the black community. Its impact is enormous. But father absence is...2020-06-1522 minMission Focused Men for ChristPain is Easier When We See God’s Purpose In ItMany of our podcast listeners know Romans 8:28, God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. By faith, we claim this verse during difficult times. But we miss tremendous power to cope well with the trials that God ordains for us if we stop reading Romans 8 at vs 28. It is vs 29 that tells us what god’s purpose for us is: For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to...2020-06-0821 minMission Focused Men for ChristComing Alive to God’s Jealous Love For UsToday’s podcast addresses our first, and highest calling—TO BUILD AND ENJOY A LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, HIMSELF.

The honor we give to such countrymen and women for their devotion to their mission reminds me of some of Paul’s words as he neared the end of his mission. He wrote: As for me, I feel that the last drops of my life are being poured out for God. The glorious fight that God gave me I have fought. The course that I was set I have finished, and I ha...2020-05-2521 minMission Focused Men for ChristTwo Requirements of Dads For Daughters to FlourishIn the last episode, while celebrating our mothers, we observed that no one can nurture a child as well as his own or her own mother can. Similarly, no one can be the father to your children that you can be. Our job as fathers is to help our daughters flourish—to become all that God created them to be. This episode examines two ingredients required by every daughter’s heart for her to be able to thrive.2020-05-1820 minMission Focused Men for ChristThe Harm of Overvaluing or Undervaluing MotherhoodIn today’s world, many of our female loved ones are engaged in a very personal spiritual battle about their identity and calling as women, and how motherhood fits into that calling. This episode shows how the mistake of overvaluing motherhood will hurt them and how undervaluing motherhood can be devastating. Only the biblical worldview gets this balance right; so that is our topic today.I highly recommend the primary source used in this episode to evaluate the impact of the Industrial Revolution on family life, Nancy Pearcey’s book, Total Truth: Libe...2020-05-1121 minMission Focused Men for ChristRequired Today for Raising Godly, Confident, DaughtersOur calling as men, to help others flourish, means helping our daughters and granddaughters build confidence in the way God created them to be female. Gender differences are profoundly related to our sense of identity. Before helping men know how to winsomely explain the biblical worldview of gender, the podcast identifies two big obstacles that routinely prevent others from being open to the biblical worldview. This episode then articulates the glory of God’s design of humans as male and female. It then suggests questions men might asked their daughters or granddaughters to open their hearts to the biblical vi...2020-05-0421 minMission Focused Men for ChristHow the Breastplate of Righteousness Protects UsThis episode continues to consider very real spiritual battles that we men have to fight every day. When I look at the words Paul used to describe our opponents, cosmic powers over this present darkness, the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms, this stark reality brings fear to my heart. This sobering truth helps explain why Christians aren’t more sanctified and having more influence in the world. Since we have to fight THOSE POWERS, just trying hard won’t work. We need to understand what the spiritual armor of Christ is a...2020-04-2721 minMission Focused Men for ChristHow to Fasten the Belt of Truth for Spiritual BattleHave you ever considered that in only the third chapter of the whole Bible, human beings are taught that we have a spiritual enemy who hates us and constantly seeks to lead us down a path to destruction—i.e. rebellion against God. In fact, we don’t have just one spiritual enemy but a whole host of them! Paul writes, For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.Coul...2020-04-2023 minMission Focused Men for ChristWhat the Resurrection Means for Our Everyday LivesEpisode Summary: The resurrection reminds us that the gospel is not just about our personal, private salvation and growth in holiness (which is called the two-chapter gospel.) Such a gospel leads to separating from the lost, forgetting their inherent value as those created in God’s image, and devaluing the contributions they make to our culture. In contrast, the resurrection of Christ’s physical body reminds us that the true gospel story has four chapters: creation, fall, redemption, restoration. Christ-followers are called to be part of the greatest mission in t...2020-04-1320 minMission Focused Men for ChristPalm Sunday Clarifies Our Mission As MenThis episode begins a series, entitled, “Stable Leadership In Uncertain Times.” Effective leaders understand the big-picture perspective of their mission, so that they can prevent their followers from being overwhelmed by discouraging setbacks or temporary road blocks, but, instead, stay motivated to pursue their mission. To be the best spiritual leaders we can, this episode’s goal is to help us form a crystal clear picture of what it means to lead our families to pursue Jesus’ top priority: Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness Matt 6:33). 2020-04-0520 minMission Focused Men for ChristChrist’s Compassion: Godly Men Need It and Demonstrate ItIn times of trial like our current coronavirus pandemic, one of the truths that most strengthens me is not just God’s sovereignty but God’s compassion towards those who suffer.

We do that first by changing our FOCUS--praying for a Christ-like heart for the lost and being intentional about staying focused on those Christ puts on our hearts. It is then being interested listeners, being winsome, expressing care for others, and being real about our struggles with our...2020-03-0820 minMission Focused Men for ChristOvercoming the Impact of the Fall On Our WorkThis episode continues the series, entitled, Making a Difference for Christ In the Workplace.
