THE GRIZ PODCAST

Sometimes God allows us to go through pain and suffering that we don't deserve, and none of it makes much sense at the time when we're going through it.

But what if that unfair pain/suffering is part of God's plan to do something great in and through your life further down the trail?

I've learned that God's best meals are slow-cooked. That's what I see in the life of Joseph and that's also what I've seen in my own life.

We need to trust, obey, and wait on God through whatever life throws at us. That's how God accomplishes a Romans 8:28 in and through your life!

Listen to learn more.

Main Text: Genesis 39:6-23.

Honor God - Live Manly!

God is teaching me that if we are to be changed men, better men, strong, fit, healthy, godly men who impact this jacked-up world, then we must be disciplined men. We must pursue the strenuous life, not a life of ease and comfort.

1 Timothy 4:7-8

1 Corinthians 9:27

Honor God - Live Manly!

Is Artificial Intelligence a danger?

Many claim that A.I. is an amazing breakthrough technology that can help "advance" humanity, but I fear it will do the opposite. I fear it will cause far more harm than good, and one of the ways it is already being used to do that is with what's called "deepfake" pornography.

We have to speak-up on such important issues!

Too many professing "Christians" do nothing and say nothing about the evil that is prevailing in our culture ... in our education systems ... in our government ... in media. We are called to be people who speak and live the truth (in love). Silent pacifism is NOT following Christ!

Honor God - Live Manly!

Most men pursue whatever makes them feel good. Comfort has become their god. They're addicted to their couch. They don't like to be pushed outside of their comfort zone but that comfort zone is ruining their life. It's the very thing that's contributing to problems like obesity, heart disease, cancers, diabetes, depression, anxiety, and self-loathing.

My brother, you can be different. You can be better than that, but to do so you must pursue the strenuous life. The strenuous life is actually the best life that yields the most rewards ... not just in this life, but also in the life to come!

Honor God. Live Manly!

This past week a Chinese spy balloon flew across the entire United States from Alaska to the east coast and President Biden did absolutely nothing to prevent it. It's unbelievable. Crazy. Unprecedented. I'm concerned. No, I'm more than concerned. I'm actually pretty irate over the whole freggin thing and I want to talk about it.

An article by Eric Simmons.

Pornography is a problem.

Porn is like a narcotic, it hijacks the brain, it redefines human sexuality, and in the meantime ruins lives, destroys families, and destabilizes ministries. And honestly it’s a problem that makes me tired — tired of the devastation Satan is causing to children, women, families, pastors, churches, and the world with this tragic evil.

Porn became a problem for me when I was only six, and by the grace of God that problem ended when Jesus saved me at age seventeen. But I know it rarely happens so cleanly. It is still a temptation, yes; temptation abounds living in the city I do, and with the heart I have, but grace abounds all the more in Jesus Christ.

Friends, I hate porn. And here’s why ...

I hate porn because it is a perversion of what God created in man and woman.

I hate porn because it exploits women made in the image of God into an image made for a man’s lust.

I hate porn because it objectifies women into a consumable product instead of a glorious image-bearing creature of God.

I hate porn because I love women — in particular my wife and three daughters.

I hate porn because it takes the soul satisfying experience of sex with a covenantally-committed spouse and turns it into a twisted soul shrinking experience of self-sex.

I hate porn because it turns sons and daughters of God into slaves of sex.

I hate porn because it turns potential missionaries into impotent Christians.

I hate porn because it destroys marriage, many before they even begin.

I hate porn because it extends adolescence and keeps men boys.

I hate porn because it lies to men about beauty and leads men to look for a porn star instead of a woman who fears the Lord.

I hate porn because it robs men and women of the full joy of obedience.

I hate porn because it fractures trust between a husband and wife.

I hate porn because it is a diabolical, satanic activity that is subtly leading thousands upon thousands to hell.

I hate porn because it leads to disqualified pastors and impotent churches. (Pastors, if you are addicted to porn, you are disqualified, and you are killing your church!)

I hate porn because I suspect it’s the most significant reason we are not planting more churches and sending more missionaries.

I hate porn because it disqualifies gospel preachers who could fill the empty church buildings in my city and so many others.

I hate porn because of the disappointment children have to go through when their dad tells them why they lost their job or opportunity to lead in the church.

I hate porn because it teaches a distorted view of sex to children before it can be explained by loving parents.

I hate porn because I am tired of sitting in my living room with sobbing, confused, devastated wives and broken, embarrassed, condemned men who got caught.

I hate porn because it leads to rape, molestation, and perversion that can devastate people for the rest of their lives.

I hate porn because it turns men inward and suffocates a man’s ambition to make God’s name hallowed.

I hate porn because it says sin, Satan, and the world are more satisfying than our Triune God and his grace.

I hate porn because I hate ungodly guilt and condemnation.

I hate porn for the fear it induces in the hearts of parents everywhere that their child could stumble upon a sight and get addicted.

But I love Jesus.

I love Jesus because he loves people with porn problems.

I love Jesus because he is powerful to free porn-enslaved hearts.

He who knew no porn addiction became porn addiction so the porn addict might become the righteousness of God in him.

He who had no sin became sin for you so that you may become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21).

In that one brilliant sentence, Paul puts an end to the porn problem.

Friend, you are no longer in Adam but in Jesus. Jesus became a substitute. It was as if he became the porn addict, by receiving the just penalty due for our perversion, and you became the righteous son or daughter of God with all its benefits.

Friend, in one act of Love and Justice, in the cross-work of Jesus, through faith in him, you are now clean, holy, accepted, forgiven and free. Let me say it again . . . free!

I love Jesus.

Many Christian men battle depression ... even many Christian leaders. At times, I've had some rough battles with it myself. But over the years, I've been encouraged to learn that some of the greatest men who’ve ever walked the planet also battled it. These great men did not let it define them. They learned how to manage it, and went on to live incredible lives of deep and lasting impact. We see this with Moses, David, Jeremiah, Elijah, Jonah, Job, Paul, Charles Spurgeon, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, C.S. Lewis, and even Jesus Christ.

I drop all those names of great men on you to let you know that you’re not alone if you’re dealing with depression. Let that fact encourage you!

On this episode, I share a recent dialogue that I had with a guy over the topic of "original sin." I accused him of promoting false doctrine to the griz tribe, and he came at me with both guns blazing ... belittling me and accusing me of whole lot of junk that isn't true.

Regardless, the dialogue between us brought up some great questions ...

- Is man born a "sinner" or does man become a "sinner" once he commits a sinful act?

- What does Scripture really say about this important doctrine?

- What did the church fathers think/decide about this important doctrine?

Theology matters. Doctrine matters.
