In this week’s raw and honest episode, we’re going deep. Deeper than porn. Deeper than behavior. This is about the heart and the eternal battle between comfort and calling.
You’ll hear a powerful story about Alexander the Great and how his army’s success became their greatest hindrance. And how that same pattern plays out in the lives of Christian men today. Spoils become shackles. Comfort becomes compromise. And sin, both obvious and subtle, keeps us from the race we were meant to run.
But we’re not left without an example. Jesus, the greater King, burned every worldly treasure to obey the will of the Father—and then called us to follow Him. Not to simply “go,” but to follow.
You’ll discover:
Why the call to follow Jesus means radical surrender
How to throw off the “weighted vest” of comfort and sin
A practical challenge to fix your eyes on Christ...not other Christians, not your Instagram feed, not your bank account
And a live invite to join a free workshop on biblical meditation (inside the Man of Valor community)
This is not about white-knuckling your way out of pornography. It’s about magnifying Christ and living for something that will never fade.
Mentioned in this episode:
The Alexander the Great story and spiritual parallel
Hebrews 12:1–4 | Philippians 2 | 1 Peter 2 | 2 Corinthians 8:9
Quotes from Charles Spurgeon
The “Murph Workout” analogy to carrying spiritual weight
A free community for men: themanofvalor.com
Upcoming live workshop: How to Meditate on the Word of God (register inside the group)
