#305 – 7 Things I’m Learning About Suffering

Have you ever felt troubled in your spirit?
In this episode, Jason shares a brief update from his recent trip to middle Georgia before diving into a powerful phrase from John 13 that has deeply encouraged him during a difficult season.
On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus was “troubled in His spirit.” What does that mean? Why was He troubled? And what does it teach us about walking through betrayal, grief, emotional pain, and suffering?
If you’ve ever wrestled with heartbreak, loss, rejection, or seasons when your soul simply feels heavy, this episode is a reminder that Jesus understands your pain—and that He walks with His people through every trial. Our present sufferings are not meaningless; they are preparing us for an eternal weight of glory.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
<ul>
<li>Why Jesus was “troubled in His spirit”</li>
<li>What betrayal teaches us about love and suffering</li>
<li>The biblical meaning of the fellowship of Christ’s sufferings</li>
<li>How an eternal perspective gives us strength to persevere</li>
<li>Why your pain is never wasted in the hands of God</li>
</ul>
“The cross always comes before the crown.”

#298 - The Man Who Wouldn't Die - The Incredible Story of Hugh Glass

In this episode, Jason talks about the storms of life that shake us, humble us, expose us, and ultimately reveal whether our faith is genuine or just “professing and posing.”
Through Scripture, personal stories, and hard-earned lessons, Jason challenges Christian men to stop being surprised by trials and recognize that storms are part of following Christ.
This episode dives into:
<ul>
<li>Why trials (storms) reveal the genuineness of faith</li>
<li>How suffering sanctifies us</li>
<li>Why comfort rarely produces spiritual growth</li>
<li>The disciples panicking in the storm while Jesus slept</li>
<li>Learning to trust God even when emotions spiral</li>
<li>Fighting through seasons of fear, grief, pain, and discouragement</li>
<li>Why prayer, Scripture, gratitude, and brotherhood are survival tools</li>
</ul>
If you’re enduring a storm right now and wondering how much more you can take… this episode is for you.
Storms don’t last.
Genuine saving faith does.
Persevere and keep climbing, my brothers.

In this episode, Jason talks about the storms of life that shake us, humble us, expose us, and ultimately reveal whether our faith is genuine or just “professing and posing.” Through Scripture, personal stories, and hard-earned lessons, Jason challenges Christian men to stop being surprised by trials and recognize that storms are part of following Christ. This episode dives into: Why trials (storms) reveal the genuineness of faith How suffering sanctifies us Why comfort rarely produces spiritual growth The disciples panicking in the storm while Jesus slept Learning to trust God even when emotions spiral Fighting through seasons of fear, grief, pain, and discouragement Why prayer, Scripture, gratitude, and brotherhood are survival tools If you’re enduring a storm right now and wondering how much more you can take… this episode is for you. Storms don’t last. Genuine saving faith does.

#297 – The Storm Reveals You

In this episode, Jason helps us take a look under the hood to see if we are living out of alignment ...

- Are you the same man in private that you are in public? ...

- Is there a secret life that you're trying to hide from others? ...

- Has your image/reputation become more important than your character?

- Has your ministry become more important than your own personal character development?

If we don't make our character a much bigger deal than our image/reputation and our "ministries" then we're eventually going to fall (and fall hard) ... and there's going to be serious pain and consequences ... there will be collateral damage that deeply damages many others.
