One of the most asked questions I've ever gotten over the years from Christ-followers is "How Can I Hear God?" The real concern is always, "How can I be sure it's His voice and not my own?" In this episode, we'll talk about the rarely discussed discipline of listening during our prayer time—developing the aspect of discipleship where we hear and obey His voice. We also talk about the truth behind "praying without ceasing." And then the bottom line of hearing from God to better minister to others in His name.

Of the thousands of metaphors for life, few are better than a climb up a mountain. Especially as men, we can relate to the days we have to dig our fingernails in to hold on and not fall, as well as the days we can look out and enjoy the beauty of where we have been allowed to reach. Today, let's talk about the mountain of life through the lens of a teaching that Jesus gave on a literal mountainside.

Most men today count the guys they work with or are in their career network as their friends. But who do you hang out with? Spend time with? Talk to? But then the big question—where do you go when you need counsel? Real help? When the crisis comes? In this episode, we evaluate the difference between acquaintances, friends, and brothers.

We see the darkness growing stronger in our world every day. Meanwhile, we have a story to tell about Jesus who has changed our lives and will always overcome any darkness with His Light. We live in a day when people don't want to be told what to do, but everyone sure loves a great story. And we have a really good one to tell.

Our world is so obviously in desperate need of help to take care of conflict. We live in a day where people air out issues with one another in front of everyone on social media. As is the case with so many problems in our lives, Jesus had something to say, the right way to handle something that will be opposite of what the world says to do. In this episode, let's look at how the Lord tells us as men to deal with conflict, both when we offend and when we are the offenders.

As Christian men, most of us have the goal of one day being filled with wisdom and able to wield the Word of God in our everyday lives, influencing and helping others. So, how do we get there? How do we become that guy? Today's episode is a challenge and encouragement to start that journey now.

Waiting is tough, especially in a culture that demands immediate experience. Today's episode focuses on our timing versus God's timing and how we can navigate the difference, the balance, and the ultimate outcome. If you're wanting and waiting on anything, these words will hopefully bring you some help and encourage you.

Every disappointment begins as an expectation. Disappointments can be used as seeds that root as much bigger issues. In this episode we talk about how to navigate all this into a far better outcome—gratitude.

Striving is a weird word we don't use much anymore, but it describes really well when we think we have to make something happen in our own strength. And the longer it takes, the more desperate we become. But in the Kingdom of God, giving up doesn't mean failure. In fact, that decision can actually create success in the eyes of our Heavenly Father. If you struggle with striving anywhere in your life, I have some good news for you.
