Life gets tiring for all of us, and we can easily find ourselves running on fumes.  All of our responsibilities within our families, our jobs, places to go and people to see, will truly spend our energy and will cause us to be exhausted.  Then factor in the spiritual battle that Christian men are fighting every day, and we can clearly see how important it is for us to find proper rest and sleep in order to recover physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually every day.  We don't consider sleep to be of much importance.  We more so focus on the grind and working hard, which is an honorable thing, but if we are living our lives burnt out and worn down, we must consider if we are really succeeding at being the men that God has called us to be.  I hope you are challenged and encouraged by today's episode.

Today's podcast was recorded with no plan, no notes and truthfully no desire to record.  It's been a tough week and today my motivation to record my weekly episode was no where to be found.  I thought that I would share some "real talk" with you from my heart and my own life, with hopes that it will be a source of encouragement and strength for you.  Sometimes God will allow us to walk through some difficult and very uncomfortable circumstances, and its only our faith that keeps us moving forward.  God is calling us today to EMBRACE THE UNCOMFORTABLE and to allow Him to keep directing us forward into our destiny and His perfect plans.

Sometimes in life, it seems like God has forgotten all about us.  It can feel like He is far away, nowhere to be found.  It can feel like He doesn't listen to our prayers or even care about what we are going through.  It's during these times, that God is actually growing us in our faith in Him and in His truth.  Our flesh will feel very uncomfortable during these times, but our spirits will be gaining strength and faith in God.  If you are feeling like God has forgotten you, I want to encourage you that He absolutely has not, and will never forget about you.  You are His child and He is with you always.  He knows what you are going through, He knows what you are struggling with, and He knows exactly what He is working out in your life, and it's for your good.  I hope you are encouraged by today's episode.

Anger is a totally normal emotion that we all deal with from time to time.  Sometimes anger can be good as a motivation to cause us to change things that need to be changed.  But uncontrolled anger does no good, and will only bring harm, hurt people and make things much worse.  Anger is a real battle of our flesh, and we will be tempted to allow it to determine what we say, how we say it, what we do and where we go.  We must rely fully upon the Holy Spirit to help us use self control in our anger, so that it does not control us.  The bible teaches in Ephesians to be angry, but don't let our anger cause us to sin.  There is hope for our fight against our anger and tempers, and I hope you find some encouragement by listening today.

As Christian men, our entire life is lived out by faith in God and in His truth.  We don't see God with our eyes, we can't touch God with our hands, but we have faith in God that He is real and alive and faithfully with us each day, through every circumstance.  For us who have experienced the presence of God, we absolutely know, by faith, that He is good and real.  We are saved by God's grace through our faith.  We walk by faith and not by sight. We even die in faith, knowing we are at the door of eternity with Jesus.  But while we live on earth, we will at times come to certain situations where we are needing to take a step of faith into something new.  No more praying about it, no more thinking about it, no more considering options, we have been brought by God here, to now step out into the unknown by faith.  This can be terrifying, and will be opposed in many ways.  We will struggle with doubt and questions of should we really step out?  If God has brought you this far, then step out, knowing that He is with you every step of the way.

Every day we make many decisions.  Things we say, things we do, places we go, and people we hang with, are all decisions that we make.  Every one of these decisions have a motive behind them.  We have reasons for what we do, and it is important that we are honestly checking our motives behind everything.  We must question... Why do we do what we do?  Why do we post what we post?  Why do we go places that we go? Why do we say what we say?  God is the one who will ultimately examine our motives, and He will lovingly call us out when He finds wrong motives at work in our life.  I hope that you are encouraged by today's podcast.

We are never called by God to live this life as a "lone wolf" Christian.  We will not succeed at life alone.  We need Christian brothers who will stand by our side and hold us up when we are worn out and discouraged from the battle.  We need brothers who will love us enough to hold us accountable in our life and to make sure we are pressing forward into the things of God, and not slacking off in the fight.  If you are in need of brotherhood, ask the Lord for this, and seek out brothers who you can do life with.  God will provide these crucial relationships that are needed as we ask Him and honestly seek them out.  I hope that you are encouraged by today's episode.

Every man will fail at times.  We all have different areas in life that will trip us up from time to time.  When we do fail, and we will, we must own our failure, confess to God and sometimes people our failure, and get up from our failure and move forward into following the Lord.  Your failure does not define who you are, Jesus defines who you are in the scriptures.  Don't allow the enemy to put shame and condemnation on you when you fail, rise up in faith and move on in the grace of God.  I hope that you are encouraged by today's podcast
