The Power Stance - feet apart, chest out, arms at your side. 

The pose is meant to inspire your own sense of confidence while giving others the idea you are powerful. 

The issue goes deeper than a perception though. And in this episode, Josh and Dan take a look at the past for where the Power Issues lie. 

When it comes to men and their unwanted sexual behaviors, power, or lack thereof, can point to the patterns we want to overcome. 

Listen in for a better understanding of what power is all about.  

If we’re hoping to recover from an addiction, the affair, cycles of abuse; we have to identify our the power issue in our story. Let’s take a step back in order to move towards becoming the empowered man with purpose and intentionality you are meant to be.

Highlights:

Any power that Jesus wielded, he wielded for the sake of others. He used his power, recognized his power was a tool for the sake of love. That’s our goal.

We need others that are on this journey with us to give us the courage to move towards another and to speak into something to have Christ like influence or power in a situation

Jesus is the picture of someone who has power, who could use power but willingly lays it down - That’s a place we’re invited to come from.

Homework:

Gateway Questions to Understanding Power:

  • What have your experiences with power been?
  • Who had power in your life and how did they yield that power? Was it a gift to you? Was it a threat to you?
  • What is it a harm to you?
  • What kind of influence do I have over my environment?

Realms of Power:

  1. The Over-Powering Man:  misuses/abuses power
  2. The Dis-Empowered Man: has issues with exerting whatever strength, influence, voice he’s supposed to have in his world.
  3. Being Empowered Men with voice, substance, agency in the world.
