Reaching For Real Life with Sean Azzaro

"Store up treasures in Heaven...For where your treasure is, there is your heart."

Okay...so how do I do that? Sean takes a page out his stewardship campaign and focuses on not just giving to give because it's good for your taxes...but being generous, just like our Father is generous to us. Sean says "God can do more with your 90% than you can do with your 100%." Try Him.

This is Part 2 of a topic that started 2 weeks ago (Reaching For Real Life #535) on Acting Like a Man. Today we invite Dr. Owen Strachan into the conversation who authored the new book "The War on Men - Why Society Hates Them and Why We Need Them" (Salem Books). Dr. Strachan is provost and research professor of theology at Grace Bible Theology Seminary and a senior fellow with the Family Research Council.

This show is strong...strong like bull...but the bottom line is that real men reflect Christ. Step up...and listen up.

On the 50th Anniversary of the Yom Kippur War (1973), Israel was attacked again which seemed like 50 years in the planning with an enemy in Hamas that didn't look like yesterday's Palestinian conflicts. More murderous and evil easily compared to ISIS' style of terrorism. Israeli resolve in "finishing a war they didn't start" sounds like it will last longer that the 3 week war of 50 years ago. How will America "stand with Israel" and how can you do the same?

Is there a war on Manhood? Toxic Masculinity is a phrase that didn't exist "yesterday", but Pastor Sean says the Word of God is clear...ACT LIKE A MAN...AND DO IT TODAY WITHOUT APOLOGY. Sean offers six traits of Biblical Manhood as we reflect the Father. Be a real man and listen. (Bonus points for listening with your wife.)

Comedian Jeff Allen who coined the phrase "Happy Wife Happy Life" pops in to talk about his first book in his fifth decade in comedy. It's his memoir "Are We There Yet - My Journey From a Messed Up To Meaningful Life."

Hear how God rescued him from alcoholism with a revelation from the Old Testament. Get the book on Amazon or if you get inspired, go local. But Jeff's wife will tell you, get it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1684514827/?tag=regnerywebsite-20

While Sean likes to interview authors and experts, sometimes he's a guest on radio shows. You'll hear him tell stories you've never heard before about his childhood dogs and some parallels in our relationship with our pets and God like protector, comfort, focus, and prayer. The show is called God and Our Dogs with Meg Grier and airs on Boerne Radio 103.9FM on Saturdays at 9am. Now sit. Good boy.

After 25 years of Real Life Ministry, Pastor Sean reflects on God's Faithfulness and tells the stories of the biggest challenges along the way.

This Sunday River City Community Church will celebrate 25 years of ministry, multi-generational families, and gratefulness for God's Faithfulness. Pastor Willie Mayfield who has been with Pastor Sean since day one, joins the conversation and celebration.

Dr. Katie McCoy serves at the Director of Women’s Ministry at Texas Baptists and holds a Ph.D. from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. She is the author of To Be A Woman: The Confusion Over Female Identity and How Christians Can Respond. It's an important conversation Pastor Sean has as they track the how the gender confusion issue has peaked in this decade, and what the Scripture and science have to say on the matter.

Today Pastor Sean takes a rapid fire look at the headlines from today, and responds with the same Kingdom perspective you'd expect. Hot headlines include the Republican Debates, Contraception on the School Supply List, New Mask Mandates, and Women's Weightlifting Record Shattered By Trans-Athlete in Canada. The common denominator is always "truth in love".
