Men’s Health: Talk it out

Summary

Please call 988 for assistance in preventing suicide. There is value in you. Found myself in conversation with a coworker sharing experiences he endured while helping a buddy of his. Situations, time and immediacy play duel, but not competing roles in the attempt of suicide. Guys, ladies, many times we can avoid life changing results by simply talking. Don’t discount your presence and influence in the lives of others. Your very joy can give someone hope. — This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mandated/support

Men’s Health: Inguinal Hernias

Summary

So, earlier this week I went to my PCP to discuss what is known as an inguinal hernia. Very interesting what the procedure looks like. Right now I’m weighing the cost of not having the surgery or moving forward with it.

Being Vulnerable!

Summary

Coming off a great event at Kingdom Ekklesia Church with Pastor Jason Johnson, Apotles Dettrick and Azeez this past weekend. So much word that we took in that allowed us all to be transparent, with the hope of helping men grow. One word that stuck with me is one that should go into the vocabulary for men. That word is ‘vulnerable’, coupled with trauma.

This episode was created specifically to help address how men do not allow themselves to be open, but rather stay closed in various areas of our life. What filters do we have in place that strengthens us? What filters do we have in place that keeps out all the bad stuff?

Let’s find those answers together. — This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mandated/support

Room Making

Summary

Prov 18:16
“A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.”

We wonder about our gift making room for us. But keep in mind, the room is only as big as how much you have developed the gift. Wreck the silo of what is in your hand. Meaning, focus on the one, specific talent/gift that has your attention.

You can do this. Wreck it!

Operating in Freedom

Summary

The Place of Now & the Place of Tomorrow. Are you frustrated with the transition of moving into what you have been called to be?
Today I discuss my recent frustration over the last week, which showed me that I wasn’t Operating in my Freedom. Not being free means
that we are bond or tied down.

Don’t discount yourself or where you are now. Use it as a launch to what awaits.

Philippians 4:13 “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

Role of Men pt2: Affirmation

Summary

Men, we are now in 2022 which is already moving by with the quickness. So in order to make this a successful year, I want you to know there is greatness in you (Les Brown). But we can’t do any of this alone.

Affirmation: act of saying or showing that something is true – the action or process of affirming something or being affirmed

It’s time for us to speak words of life over ourselves and family. They are depending us to be the bit to the horses mouth, or the rudder to the ship. What do I mean. We should speak the given word of God that we move in the direction he is steering us.

This requires us to live a resurrected live unto God through Jesus (Yeshua).

Genesis 12: 1-3
2 Peter 1:21
James 3:2-5
Proverbs 23:7
Judges 6
Exodus 12

Jonah: Man Overboard

Summary

Jonah 1:10-16

We go deeper into the character of Jonah at a time where he is needed most. Many times we realize our lives would be better staying in our silos. Not having to deal with anyone or the world. However, when God has spoken his will over us, it’s time to move.

Unknowingly, Jonah is the key to the salvation of the ships mariners headed to Tarsus. Because of their urgency of life they cry out to the Lord after their ‘gods’ could not provide safety. Without thinking, actions of the ‘called church’, us, you, me can indirectly lead someone to Jesus.

We have been asked to be a light that cannot be hid. So let our light shine for those that need direction.

Being uncomfortable is necessary.
