THE GRIZ PODCAST

"Fire Woman" is a rock song by the British rock band The Cult, written by singer Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy. It was the first single released from their fourth studio album Sonic Temple, and was subsequently featured on all of The Cult's compilation/greatest hits albums, as well as being a steady fixture of the band's live performances. It peaked at number 2 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached number one on New Zealand's Recorded Music NZ (then RIANZ) chart and number 15 on the UK Singles Chart. Astbury claims the eponymous "Fire Woman" is a universal symbol, along the lines of a primary element. - Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Woman  

I believe the song describes a deadly woman ... the same deadly woman that God describes in great detail in the book of Proverbs ... she is "the forbidden woman" ... the adulteress, the seductress, the mistress, the prostitute, the women you secretly view and lust after on your computer or smartphone, the woman you sexually long for who is not your wife!

That woman is the Fire Woman!

The Fire Woman is sexual sin!

Many strong and honorable men have danced with her and enjoyed their fleeting moment of sexual pleasure, but in the end ... she burned down everything good and honorable in their life. That's what she does. That's what she's highly skilled at.

She thrills ... and then she kills! She fascinates ... and then she assassinates!

It happened not only in biblical times, but it continues to happen today. Just look at these staggering statistics ...

- 97% of Christian men acknowledge they have looked at porn.

- 64% of Christian men view porn at least once per month.

- 37% of Christian men view porn several times a week.

Count to one. In that one second, almost 30,000 people are viewing pornography - and it continues every second after that.

In this episode, Jason brings some hardcore inspiration and motivation to those of you who've been feeling beat up and stuck in the pit. You're not the only Christian brother going through it. All of us go through various trials that knock us down and make us want to just throw in the towel on life (even the Apostle Paul felt like that). You're not alone, but dude, you gotta get up and fight with the rest of us! You gotta get up and fight it! "NEVER QUIT" is part of who we are in Christ. Quitting is not an option. In the strength of God, you gotta fight it! In this episode, Jason shares some of his own personal and recent trials/struggles ... and he then pounds us with some inspiration and motivation with some hardcore tunes that will light a fire under you. We have to remember and do what Sir Winston Churchill said, "If you're going through Hell ... keep going!" #NeverQuit

In this episode, Jason dives even deeper into the question ...

"How do I lead my family?"

It's a question that Jason is asking God for himself, and he's simply sharing what God is teaching him.

Here are four facts that Jason has dropped on us ...

Fact #1 … God has appointed YOU (the man – the husband – the father) to be the spiritual leader of your family.

Fact #2 … There is no duty, responsibility, or mission in your life that’s more important or more sacred than your role as the spiritual leader of your family.

Fact #3 … Jesus is the ultimate and perfect example of how a man needs to lead his family.

Fact #4 … You (the spiritual leader of your family) must love God first and foremost.

“How do I lead my family?”

That’s a question that I hear from a lot of young married men, and it’s a great question to ask. It’s actually a question that all of us need to be asking if we’re husbands and fathers (no matter how old we are). And it’s a great question to ask if you plan to one day be a husband and father. Heck, it’s a question I’m still asking and still trying to figure out. That's what we begin diving into in this episode.
