Gentlemen welcome to The Blood Brothers Podcast.  This is a new season for Blood Brothers as we turn our attention toward reformed theology.  As Christian men, it is vitally important that we never stop growing in our understanding of the Lord and his will.  As we dive into Calvin's Institutes this season, ask the Lord how he can take the knowledge and understanding He's given you to impact the world around you outside the walls of the church.

Gentlemen welcome to Blood Brothers Men and The Blood Brothers Podcast. In this episode, I share some housekeeping for Blood Brothers concerning some changes coming up in 2021. The episode concludes with 3 thoughts/observations from 2020.

Remember the old hymn, "Come Thou Fount"? There are many profound lines in that hymn. One, in particular, has always hit me, "Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love. Here's my heart Lord, take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above". What is a sealed heart and has yours been sealed? In this episode of Blood Brothers Men, we will take a look at what this means. Comment below on your take.

Back to the basics men. We need to always be engaged in the battle against passivity. Today I share with you 5 words and phrases that must be a regular part of our vocabulary. If you are not using these words, chances are people are taking advantage of you, you are agitating them by not being clear, and you are a pushover. No one likes to see a spineless man. Be a man of confidence and courage, not timidity.

It's clear that our culture has made some significant shifts the past few years and especially this year. In episode 63, I shared what I believe is the best way we can respond to our culture as Christian men. Episode 64 is part 2 of this series where I go into more detail about how we can form our response.

We are seeing some of the worst of American culture.  For a Christian, we are faced with the question, "Where does our allegiance lie?" 

Today, guest Richard Pratt from Third Millennium Ministries joins us for a very insightful conversation that will have you re-thinking your allegiance and challenge your faith.

2020...what a year. COVID-19 Riots in the cities. Politics. It can be overwhelming and for a Christian, we need to respond in a way that is in line with Scripture. Do we start conversations? Protest? Should the church preach more sermons on the issues? In Episode #63 of Blood Brothers Men, I'll share my approach. Make sure to like and subscribe - it goes a long way.

Social media and our devices have taken the place of godly wisdom. We are swayed by opinions that lack knowledge and truth. Senior Editor at The Gospel Coalition, and author, Brett McCracken developed "The Wisdom Pyramid". The Wisdom Pyramid uses the food pyramid concept as a tool to help us understand where our sources of wisdom should come from and which we need to take in moderation. Don't miss this episode of The Blood Brothers Podcast. It will change your wisdom perception.

With the instability of our current cultural climate, we can be tempted to try to take on issues that we may not be qualified for. Rather than taking on each individual concern in our society, we need to understand that what we see is a heart issue. If we can confront our own hearts and then the hearts of others, we can begin to see some real change. In this episode, I offer three suggestions on how to respond with wisdom and grace.
