Men After God

Why Strong Men Still Break: Embracing God's Timing in Hard Seasons


Listen Later

In this raw and reflective episode of Men After God, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen dive deep into the reality that sometimes, God has to break us before He can rebuild us. Life comes in seasons — some marked by growth, others by pruning — but all are used by God to shape us into the men He’s called us to be.

Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3 and personal experience, Dustin and Luke explore what it means to walk through a season of tearing down. They discuss how to stay faithful during uncertainty, how to embrace spiritual reconstruction, and why effectiveness in your walk with God matters more than outward efficiency.

This episode is for every man who’s ever asked, “Why is this happening?” and who wants to trust God’s process even when it hurts.

🧠 Key Takeaways
✔️ Growth often begins with surrender
✔️ Some things must be torn down for God to rebuild
✔️ Trusting God's timing leads to deeper healing
✔️ Effectiveness > Efficiency in spiritual life
✔️ You’re not stuck—you’re being shaped

📖 “There is a time to break down, and a time to build up...” — Ecclesiastes 3:3
