The Jeff Jerina Show

God has an amazing plan for every man on the planet. Whether you are a single man, married, dad, retired or divorced. Key insight and wisdom discussed on the the Men Unplugged podcast as Jeff Jerina asks his guest, Mike Chrasta tough questions about his own life experiences.

Jeff asks Mike how he came up with the material (4 truths about every man).

We truly are in a crisis right now when it comes to a serious cultural problem in our families, country, etc.

Mike shares his personal salvation story. He states that he had come to the end of himself. Realizing that he was angry, confused, he did not have support from his own father. In that confusion he found the Lord Jesus Christ. This is true for a lot of men.

Mike states that he yielded to God Almighty. He made a decision to give up control of his life and allow God to control it.

Jeff asks Mike to share his worst moment and what he learned from it. Mike shares that overall when you can come to the place where you can realize your darkest most despairing time that God's hand is there to help you and wants you to thrive that this will spur you on. That God does not love you conditionally. God loves you unconditionally.

Jeff shares that when he finally understood God's grace he was able to see that God loves him and all of us unconditionally. Jeff shares that he felt like an ugly duckling before then.

Jeff asks Mike to share a time when he doubted he could make it as whatever. Mike shares that it was when he first got married, he had no good model for a righteous or courageous man that he could follow. He realized he knew nothing about raising children and love. He asked the Lord to give him wisdom on how to raise children. The Lord gave him wisdom to raise and train his children. His children all love the Lord and Mike has a great relationship with each one of his three children.

Jeff mentioned that God is our Abba Father.

God has grace for each man. The Lord has it for everyone.

Mike shares his biggest obstacle that held him back. Mike states that it was his own beliefs about himself. How his influences gave him beliefs about himself that were not true. How these influences in our lives cause us to have broken and unhealthy thoughts and beliefs about ourselves. We need to completely shatter these beliefs and allow the Lord Jesus Christ to put the pieces back together and make us whole.

Hallelujah we are all broken because the Lord can make us all right.

God has made each man specifically for a purpose. Jeff and Mike have a good laugh as Jeff makes a joke about himself.

Mike realized that all of his solutions in life had failed. He had to turn to the Lord Jesus Christ.

When Mike came out high school with all of these accolades he had a distorted view of who he was and the choices he made were wrong.

Mike shares a story from his college years. Mike thought after he graduated with an undergraduate degree he said he would never go to school. After he placed his faith in Christ the first thing the Lord told him was to go back to school. He went back to school three times and finally received a PhD.

God has an amazing plan for every man on the planet (husband, father, single man).

Jeff reminds the Men Unplugged listeners part of what we are doing here on Men Unplugged. Help you find and live your true purpose.

Jeff says, it's not enough to find your purpose you have to live it.

He's got the plan - it's wonderful.

Mike shares one of his blindspots. Mike says it's when he goes into fighting mode in his response and he is working on that with the Lord on this issue. He was not aware of how strong this was. Now that the Lord exposed it.

Jeff shares one of his blindspots is being impatient.

The good news is that when you can talk about your blindspots or weaknesses when another man you can start to be free.

Jeff and Mike have some good laughs talking about how they joke around with each other when planning events and activities for the dad's community they co-lead.

Jeff asks what's the best advice Mike has ever received. Mike shares that it was from a friend who told him that all you need to do with your children is to love them. Meaning that all that God has for your child will be revealed and our love for our children is like water on a plant. If we just water them with the love of God, everything we desire and God desires for each of our children will be released. It will blossom someday.

Just love your children. Love them unconditionally.

Who is MIke's biggest critic. Point here is a man without critics and without opposition is a man that isn't doing what he should be doing. Because when you start to act for the truth, when you start to do what is right no matter what people say you're going to get opposition and unfair criticism. Even from Christians. Our job is to love them but not comprise.

The United States of America was built by men who were not comprisers. It was built by individuals who were God-fearing, bold, courageous Christians.

Jeff notes this reminds him of 2 Timothy 1:7

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

Jeff asks Mike who his biggest mentor is. Mike mentions Daniel from the Bible. Daniel and Solomon being wise men. They exemplify wise leaders.

Mike's biggest motivator and encourager is the Holy Spirit.

Mike shares a personal habit or discipline that attributes to his success. He says that it was when he read the book of Proverbs in a cassette and listened to it over and over again. His hunger for wisdom is probably his biggest discipline.

Quick tip to tap into God's wisdom. As it says in the book of James, God gives wisdom to anyone who asks it. It's not intellect that makes us better than one another. Wisdom is higher than intellect. Ask God for it and believe He will give it to you.

Study the wisdom literature of the Bible over and over again. Proverbs, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon and Job. Walk with wise men a word from Psalm 1.

Mike shares outside of the Bible the one book he would recommend is the Odyssey by Homer.

Mike shares what he is most fired up right now that he is working on.

Jeff shares that they are available to talk to men's groups, men's ministries, teams, corporate teams.

Jeff Jerina interviews a close personal friend and co-ministry leader, Dr. Mike Chrasta on the Men Unplugged show. Jeff and Mike discuss the four truths of every man and how to experience true freedom. There are many things that God calls us to do. The most important thing as a man is to know his true design, his true calling. When a man finds his true calling he is a dangerous man. Dangerous in a good sense.

Every man has 4 things that define who he is.

A quick discussion on how Mike and Jeff found their true purpose in life.

A quick talk about Mike's book, Make it a Place of Springs which you can get through the MenUnplugged.net website here.

Jeff noted that for him it took taking different tests, spiritual gifts testing asking others and a lot of prayer. To get Jeff's book, Ten Steps to Power and Purpose that gives you simple, practical steps to discover and live your true calling in life go to MenUnplugged.net.

Men have a role in creating a vibrant culture in Christian education.

Try to follow wholeheartedly what God is leading you to do.

There are many things that God calls us to do. The most important thing as a man is to know his true design, his true calling. When a man finds his true calling he is a dangerous man. Dangerous in a good sense.

Psalm 84:6-7 why this Scripture is so important to Mike Chrasta.

God tends to send us to hard, dark and dry places. Wherever we go because we carry the presence of the Lord with us, we transform those places into life giving places of springs. Mike suggests there is no better image than what we are called to do as men.

Jeff notes this reminds him of Psalm 23. With the presence of the Lord the psalmist has no fear. The same for us as men today.

A lot of times the Lord sends us to places that we would not normally go. He wants us to go through those places to bring light to them. To make them better.

The place of Baca is a place of weeping a dry valley. As we pass through those places, the Lord in us and through us. Every time we pass through those places they are transformed. By doing that we are transformed as well.

The most dangerous human on the plane is a free man. A free man is comfortable in his own skin. He is not afraid of anybody or any circumstance because his faith in the Lord. He leads his family because he receives his orders from the Lord.

He is emotionally, socially, intellectually and spiritually equipped to pursue his dream.

The one secret that most men (Christian men or non-believers) are unaware of is that no man can be truly set free unless he is set free from the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Let's be honest, how many men like this really exist. Reason being, we have seen the biggest decline in what manhood really is in the last six decades. One of the biggest contributors to this is the leftist social experiment to an attack on authority. Just follow the publications of books and movies since then. The book Iron John was a book to address this in the secular culture.

A talk about the movie, A Rebel Without a Cause. How this movie depicts a man as someone who is weak.

The good news is that men can be healed. The first step is to get in touch with the 4 truths of every man. God comes in and heals us.

First truth: Every man has a limitation of some kind. Most men will never play professional sports, hold political office or command a naval submarine. Even those men have limitations.

We have these limitations that we have learned from our family, culture, society, etc.

Some of these limitations we can change. Knowing and accepting these limitations is essential to a man maturing.

Often times we put limitations on ourselves.

Self-acceptance is the foundational virtue for a man to becoming free.

Second truth: Every man has a form of brokenness in some area of his life.

Our brokenness does not makes us bad. It is simply reality. The problem is when a man denies that brokenness. Some men think that Being grounded in reality makes a man a true leader. Romans 8:1-2. Great point here. Jeff says, it takes a lot courage to tell another man your strongholds, your failures, your blindspots, etc.

Third truth: Every man has a bent in some sin area. Some are passive others are controlling, some men struggle with pornography, greed, etc.

We are to courageously drag that sin into the light, acknowledge it, agree with the Lord about it so we can free from it. Regardless if it is something small or a spiritual stronghold.

Fourth Truth: Every man has a blind spot. Those closest to us see it, but we do not. We form judgments and acquisitions. We don't see the full picture. Our point of view is skewed. Here's a quick and easy test to find out your blindspots. Ask the three people you know best on three things you need go remove or improve on.

Here's the good news. No man can get well apart from a real relationship with the Lord Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit to get a hold of us and transform us.

Every one of these truths is countered by something the Lord does or gives us.

His grace covers our limitations. His healing corrects our brokenness. His forgiveness and power cancels our sins and delivers us from bondage. His marvelous wisdom compensates for our blindspots. That's where there is hope for every man. The Lord Jesus Christ can restore every single one of us. We are molded back into the men we were meant to be.

When God created us, He created us whole not broken.

Every man can step out of the sin they are in right now and be set free for good.

Questions:

How much freedom do you want?

What specific changes can you make (worship, service, prayer, reading God's Word, activities) so the Lord can set us free?

Will we do what it takes to accept the freedom that God wants to give everyone of us.

John 14:6 Follow the truth, Jesus Christ

An amazing discussion and training session for defending your faith (apologetics) with Jeff Jerina's guest Bodie Hodge of Answers in Genesis a partner of Men Unplugged.

Topics mentioned in this podcast, evangelism, defending your faith, apologetics, apologetics for teens, apologetics for kids, evolution, Noah's Ark, Big Bang theory, ark of the covenant, dinosaurs, Jonah and the whale, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, divine creation.

Factual evidence that a believer can share with a skeptic.

Jeff notes something that he shares with others in his evangelism training and upcoming book that you need to learn how to share your faith before you can defend it and how evangelism and apologetics work together.

Jeff says one of the best things to do is to ask non-believers why they think a certain way. By doing this, you will be able to understand and navigate more clearly what that person believes. A lot of times, a person's worldview is based on the viewpoints of their parents or others who have influenced them throughout their life.

Bodie Hodge former mechanical engineer now works at Answers in Genesis.

Jeff asks Bodie how he went from engineering to being a Christian apologist.

Another great tool for answering these questions from Genesis is the Strand Study Bible which you can get here only at MenUnplugged.net

The key is the interpretation of the evidence.

Soft tissue in dinosaur bones good evidence of divine creation.

Bishop Bell's tomb at Carlisle Cathedral in northern England. Bishop Bell is actually buried in the church.

Skeptics a lot of times want to mock what we believe as Christians.

What is the significance of believing in creation versus evolution.

Bodie says if there was a big bang theory there would be no right and wrong.

Jeff asks what evidence is there to support young earth creationism versus other theories. Bodie says have a proper understanding of the evidence. So often we are told the secular interpretation of it and just accept it. Look at rock layers from a flood.

When we look at the evidence everything makes sense that the earth is young. Coal, oil, fossil formation, canyons, stalagmites, etc.

Tower of Babel - historical and archeological evidence on it. Can trace these people groups all around the world.

A chat about Noah, his sons and his grandsons.

Bodie Hodge says that when people started to buy in a evolutionary worldview racism started to explode.

Jeff talks about Genesis 11, Genesis 1:26 and Genesis 1:1 using the Hebrew word Elohim the composite unity word for God. Showing the Triune Godhead.

How using these verses are a good tool to share the Gospel to someone of another faith.

Remember Jesus Christ's number one mission was to seek and save those who are lost and by sacrificing His life for others He gave us an example to follow. Jesus was a servant leader.

Brandon talks about his time playing baseball and a little about hard work and dedication to make it in Major League Baseball. A word about being mentally tough.

To find your calling go to the Bible, ask the Lord to reveal it to you. Another place to start is to practice humility by asking your wife and kids how you can serve them.

Key points:

God's Word, prayer and the practice of humility are excellent starting points for Embracing the Call on Your LIfe.

You are creating a legacy no matter what you do. Will it be one that serves others or yourself.

Christ's number one mission to seek and save those who are lost. Luke 19:10

Jesus was a servant leader, we as men need to be as well.

Don't let the sin of pride hold you back from your true calling.

Time reveals truth.

Know whose you are rather than what you do!

A simple way to stay in Awe of God is to remember the grace that He pours out on you every single day. No matter how old you are - God is not done with you! Your story of God's work in your life matters. If you are compelled to live a life in awe of God then you will follow behind Jesus Christ closely. Author and sports psychologist Dr. David Cook is on the Men Unplugged podcast with Jeff Jerina. There is a moment when you ask Jesus Christ to be the Lord of your life. That moment is when things radically change for good - you have salvation for ever and ever. Now Jesus has called you to live a better and more transformed way. Galatians 5:1 it's for freedom that Jesus Christ came to set us free. Do things out of freedom you have in Christ in awe of God rather than out of obedience or as the drudgery to do something for God.

Jeff says to remember your personal testimony, your own personal salvation story of how Jesus Christ saved your life and to talk about that with others. To share your testimony and that will help you being in awe of God. Understand grace, it is a free gift. Ephesians 2:8-9. David shares his personal testimony of when he accepted Jesus Christ. Live in the power of the Holy Spirit in full of grace knowing Jesus Christ. David Cook shares a story of when God helped him see that sports psychology was a platform for planting seeds of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to others. David also talks about the worst moment of his career. His answer will surprise you. Dr. Cook talks about the best moment of his career. David talks about the sweet spot in golf.
