What if you could read your obituary while you were still alive
In 1888 Alfred Nobel did exactly that. A newspaper mistakenly announced his death and labeled him the merchant of death. That single moment became a mirror that forced Nobel to confront what his life had actually been about and what it could still become.
In this episode of The Lion and the Bear we explore how one man’s accidental obituary sparked a radical shift from accumulation to generosity and why his story matters deeply for Christian men today.
We connect Nobel’s awakening to the words and encounters of Jesus especially the contrast between the Rich Young Ruler and Zacchaeus two wealthy men two encounters with Christ and two very different legacies.
This episode speaks directly to the modern pressure men carry
The weight of being a provider
The quiet drift from provision to greed
The temptation to measure worth by income success and possessions
The fear of failing those we love
You will hear why greed is not just about money it is about orbit about whether a man’s life revolves around himself or is poured out for something greater.
This is a call to Christian men who want more than financial success
More than survival
More than a full bank account and an empty legacy
If you have ever wondered
Am I living to have or living to give
What kind of man am I becoming
What story will my sons and daughters tell about me
This episode will challenge you steady you and call you higher.
Because you cannot change your past but in Christ you can absolutely rewrite your legacy.
