Do you have a spiritual father? Is there someone in your life who encourages and challenges you to be what God made you to be? That’s what Paul was to Timothy.

Could you be a spiritual father? You might think you’re not qualified. After all, you’re not the Apostle Paul. But we can all learn what it takes to be a successful spiritual father to a guy who needs that encouragement.

Do you have a spiritual father? There are probably men around you who are qualified to guide you towards a deep and meaningful life. But how do you know who that might be?

Join Brett Clemmer tomorrow as we start a new study of 2 Timothy. It’s a letter from a father to his spiritual son, and it's full of lessons on what a spiritual father needs to say, and a son needs to hear.


Verses referenced in this lesson:
2 Timothy 1:1-2, Acts 16:1, 1 Cor 16:10, Phil 2:22

On Being (and Having) a Spiritual Father

Every week, Patrick Morley and Brett Clemmer aim to provide messages that are biblically rooted, grace based, application oriented, and created for men. Recorded live in the Orlando area with a community of men, the goal is simple: we try to help each other see a larger glimpse of the God who is, reject the God (or gods) we may have wanted, and then discuss how to transition to our everyday world.

The Fruit of the Spirit, Episode 9: How does one man gain the upper hand on the world, flesh, and devil while another has to keep 911 on speed dial?

Jason is a loving husband and father who leads, protects, and provides for his family. He does excellent work, repays insults with kindness, and bears up under unjust suffering.

Jonas, on the other hand, is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. He loses his temper when cut off in traffic. He eats, drinks, and spends too much, and he neglects his health. His lack of self-control creates chaos wherever he goes.

Join me, Pat Morley, as we explore self-control, what that looks like for you, what puts your self-control to the test, and a couple of surprising things you may not have thought about. God’s promise is that you can have a self-control that doesn’t depend on a strong will and massive personal determination. It’s going to be a great day!

Self-Control: Victory Over the World, Flesh, and Devil (Fruit of the Spirit, E9)

What prompted the three wise men to update their passports and travel to Bethlehem to worship an infant child? What prompts men to seek Jesus today, and is it different or the same? In this special Christmas message, we will look at how the Lord guided the wise men, and how he guides men today. We all know what happened when the wise men finally found “the King of the Jews,” but what does that have to do with us now?

Verses referenced in this lesson:
Matthew 2:1-12

THROWBACK: What We Learn From the Wise Men (Christmas Special)

The Fruit of the Spirit, Episode 8: The world is not a very gentle place. Cancel culture. Opposition research. Three strikes. Defund the police. Election politics. Abortion. The death penalty. And the list goes on. It affects our daily lives as well.  Handling the unjust criticism at home or work, dealing with frustrating drivers on the road, or gossiping “friends” in your church or community. The world and our daily lives can be harsh. How will you respond? Some would say that you have to “give as good as you get.” But the Bible tells us a different story: you can be gentle AND be strong. And Jesus shows us how. Join Brett Clemmer as he continues in our series on Fruit of the Spirit. Share with a friend or coworker and for the benefit of men studying God’s word together.
