Rediscovering Biblical ManhoodThriving When the World’s on Fire - Marriage Part ThreeIn this episode, we explore how your career isn't just a paycheck or a passion—it's a covenant. Just as marriage, your calling requires commitment, sacrifice, faithfulness, and a clear vision. Drawing from biblical wisdom, we unpack what it means to approach your work not with a consumer mindset, but with a heart rooted in purpose and obedience to God. Whether you're questioning your path or deep in the grind, this conversation will challenge you to stop "dating" your calling—and start honoring it like a marriage.

When uncertainty rises, so do emotional reactions. But did you know that the way we respond to conflict, stress, and even silence in marriage is wired into our brains?
This episode unpacks how neuroscience and Scripture beautifully align to help us love well, even when things feel chaotic. You’ll learn what’s really happening in your brain (and your spouse’s) during those tense or distant moments—and how to shift from reaction to reconnection through God’s truth and practica...2025-06-1622 minRediscovering Biblical ManhoodThriving When the World’s on Fire - Marriage Part OneRate our podcast!

The Swirl of Chaos in Today’s World
Wars, economic shifts, political instability, digital information overload.
Modern men are deeply affected by the chaos but often forget it’s not new—chaos has existed throughout history.
God Thrives in Uncertainty
The hosts reflect on how God historically brings order out of chaos (e.g., Genesis, Jesus calming the storm).
Instead of fearing uncertainty, Christian men should lean into it as a time for spiritual growth.

The Bible teaches that when a man marries he is to leave his parents and cleave to his wife (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-5; Ephesians 5:31).

So, what is time? To put it simply, time is duration. Our clocks mark change or, more precisely, our timepieces are benchmarks of change that indicate the passage of time. We could say, then, that time is a necessary precondition for change, and change is a sufficient condition to establish the passage of time. In other words, whenever there’s a change of any kind, we know that time has passed. We see this as we go through life and as we age.

While powerless to grant salvation or produce true freedom, the Law nevertheless pointed the way to Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:19–24).

A father’s lived-out example is not to be minimized. Fathers, as do mothers, set visible examples for their sons to imitate (1 Corinthians 4:15–16). Neither do we minimize the influence of a mother’s counsel, as Lady Wisdom to her husband and sons. But as the heavenly Father himself demonstrates in his declaration to and about his Son — “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased” — we fathers must reckon with the remarkable power of our words.

However, in all three Gospels — this is no small detail — the account of Jesus rescuing this father’s demonized son follows immediately on the heels of the transfiguration, which has the heavenly Father’s declaration about his Son at its heart.

Ask, seek, knock. Notice the three different senses being considered here. Asking is verbal; Christians must use their mouths and petition God for their needs and desires. And believers are to seek with their minds—this is more than asking; it is a setting of priorities and a focusing of the heart. To knock involves physical movement, one in which the Christian takes action. Although asking and seeking is essential, they would be incomplete without knocking.

First-rank doctrines are those that are essential to the gospel itself.
Second-rank doctrines are urgent for the health and practice of the church to such a degree that they tend to be the cause of separation at the level of local church, denomination, and/or ministry.
Third-rank doctrines are important to Christian theology, but not important enough to be the basis for separation.
Fourth-rank doctrines are unimportant to our gospel witness and ministry collaboration.

2022-06-1022 minRediscovering Biblical ManhoodFlesh vs. Fruit - Part 10 (Patience)When we hear the word patience, we probably think of the virtue that enables us to wait. That’s one way of looking at it, but Spirit-led patience is also much more. Patience is longsuffering. It involves more than passive waiting; it is active forbearance. It is a deliberate willingness to put up with disagreeable things in pursuit of higher goals.

2022-06-0318 minRediscovering Biblical ManhoodFlesh vs. Fruit - Part 9 (Love)The fruit of "love" may be the best example. We cannot produce the type of love God desires without the leading and strength of the Holy Spirit. The English word love has a very broad meaning, but the Greek language was very precise. The love which the Holy Spirit manifests in believers is agape. This love is not a feeling, but a choice. It is the choice to be kind, to sacrifice, and to consider another's needs greater than one’s own (Philippians 2:3).

2022-05-2017 minRediscovering Biblical ManhoodFlesh vs. Fruit - Part 8 (Peace)The fruit of the Spirit includes a peace that goes beyond that of salvation. It is a sweet relationship. We are called to His presence and called to be confident in that presence because we are His friends (John 15:15).
God’s peace transcends earthly matters. Believers are to be "anxious for nothing," for God promises to "guard your hearts and minds." It is a peace “which transcends all understanding”; that is, to the worldly mind, such peace is incomprehensible. Its source is the Holy Spirit of God, whom the world neither sees nor knows.

The fruit of the Spirit is essentially the character of Jesus. The quality of gentleness is the opposite of harshness with others. It is power over one’s Spirit that exudes a response like Jesus.

Faithfulness comes from a place of trust and loyalty. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is a confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” As a Christian, it is important to be faithful to God.
