In this episode, Matt Dobschuetz (AKA = The Dobber) from The PornFree Radio Podcast is going to share with you what he believes is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life. 

Matt lives in Chicago with his wife and two sons. He is a life-long Chicago Bears fan so he says he knows a thing or two about "grizzin." However, we aren't so sure that Dobber has figured out what "grizzin" truly means. Please pray for him.

Seriously though, this episode is going to be a big help and encouragement to you guys.

Self-Improvement

On this episode, I talk to you about the importance of your inner self-talk. We humans are constantly talking to ourselves because this is how we try to make sense of the world, relationships, work, God, faith, pain, stress, etc. It’s how we try to figure out the best way to cope and navigate through life. You may not realize it, but you’ve been talking to yourself all day, but what have you been saying to yourself ... Is it true, godly, positive, and healthy? Or is it false, ungodly, negative, and unhealthy? The Bible says we "reap what we sow" ... and that "sowing" begins with our thoughts (aka = our inner self-talk). If you want a life of freedom, growth, transformation, and impact ... then you better start working on your inner self-talk.

HONOR GOD - LIVE MANLY - WORK ON YOUR INNER SELF-TALK!

E-252: The Importance of Your Inner Self-Talk

In 1 Timothy 4:7, God commands us to "train" ourselves for "godliness." It's something we must do to ourselves.

My brothers, becoming a godly man won’t just happen. You have to train yourself ... and training means you have to be intentional, you have to prioritize it, put forth effort, sacrifice, and remain committed … day after day … week after week … month after month … year after year ... decade after decade.

Yes, God is the One who is ultimately at work in us (Philippians 1:6). He is the One behind all of it making us more like Christ (aka = sanctification), but we have an active role to play in that process. Sanctification is a tag-team effort between us and God. If we sit back and do nothing, we will naturally drift away from godliness. 

And when you begin to attain godliness, you have to maintain it, because whatever you attain, you must maintain … or it erodes! That's true for physical fitness and spiritual fitness ... whatever you attain, you must maintain ... or it erodes.

So how do we train ourselves for godliness? 

What does that realistically look like in the everyday grind of life? ... 

What training methods do we use? ... 

That's what I'm going to show you on this episode of THE GRIZ PODCAST.

HONOR GOD - LIVE MANLY - TRAIN YOURSELF FOR GODLINESS!

E-251: 10 Training Methods for Godliness

On this episode, we wrap up our series from J.C. Ryle's outstanding book, "Thoughts for Young Men." Specifically, we'll be looking at Part 4 of the book where he gives what he calls, "Special Rules for Young Men" .... and he gives 5 of them. 

By God's help he tells young men to do the following ...

1. Break off every known sin.

2. Shun everything which may be an opportunity to sin.

3. Resolve to never forget the all-seeing eye of God.

4. Be diligent in the practice of your Christianity.

5. Resolve that wherever you are, you will pray.

As I've said before my brothers, these words from J.C. Ryle are gold, precious stones that will keep you from many painful consequences and open up a world of blessings upon your life, marriage, family, friendships, career, ministry, etc. 

Do not blow off what you hear from Pastor J.C. Ryle.

As usual, I make a few comments of my own along the way as we go through this last section of the book. 

Get this book!

E-250: Thoughts for Young Men - Part 4 - J.C. Ryle

On this episode, we dive back into our series from J.C. Ryle's outstanding book, "Thoughts for Young Men."

Specifically, we'll be looking at Part 3 where he gives what he calls "general counsels to young men" .... and he talks about 6 things in particular ...

1. Getting a clear view of the evil of sin.

2. Seeking to become acquainted with our Lord, Jesus Christ.

3. Never forgetting that nothing is as important as your soul.

4. Remembering that it is possible to be a young man and yet to serve God whole heartily. 

5. To determine as long as you live to make the Bible your constant guide and adviser.

6. To be extremely careful who you choose as close friends.

As I've said before my brothers, these words from J.C. Ryle are gold that will keep you from many painful consequences and open up a world of blessings upon your life, marriage, family, friendships, career, ministry, etc. 

Do not blow off what you are going to hear from Pastor J.C. Ryle. 

As usual, I make a few comments of my own along the way.

E-249 - Thoughts for Young Men - Part 3 - J.C. Ryle

On this episode, I go over Part 2 of J.C. Ryle's book, "Thoughts for Young Men" and make some of my own commentary along the way.

This section of the book is specifically about the DANGERS that young men need to look out for ...

1. PRIDE.
2. THE LOVE OF PLEASURE.
3. THOUGHTLESSNESS.
4. CONTEMPT FOR CHRISTIANITY.
5. FEAR OF MAN'S OPINION.

This book is a powerful wake-up call to young men, but good for all of us old men as well.
