The Daily Blade: Joby Martin & Kyle Thompson

#60 - Kyle Thompson // A Godly Man is Selfless


Listen Later

We explore the second element of godly manhood – selflessness – contrasting Christ's call to self-denial with our culture's obsession with self-fulfillment. Matthew 16 reveals a pivotal moment where Jesus explicitly commands followers to deny themselves and take up their cross, challenging the modern notions of "my truth" and self-preservation.

• Living in perhaps the most selfish time in human history
• Social media epitomizes our self-centeredness
• The cultural shift to moral therapeutic deism has damaged church and society
• Matthew 16 marks a turning point in Jesus' ministry
• Jesus begins explicitly discussing his death and resurrection
• Peter's rebuke and Christ's counter-rebuke reveal the battle between divine and human thinking
• Christ's command to "deny yourself" directly opposes modern sensibilities
• Stuart Weber: "Many people wanted to follow Jesus, but most wanted to do it on their own terms"
• True discipleship happens on Jesus' terms, not our own
• A godly man focuses not on himself but on Christ who saved him
