The Crisis of Broken Male Influence 0:03 To you now is a man that we met in a moment like this. It was a men's conference at Gateway Church. I was speaking and Kenny was the other speaker. I was speaker number 1, he was speaker number 2. And,0:15 that was in terms of quality as well. And, 1st thing he said to me is, I want to be like you. And I said, No, I want to be like you. See, I'm tired of being a champion. I want to be lucky. And he was tired of being0:27 lucky, so he wanted to be a champion. But Kenny at the time was the Saddleback Men's Pastor for many years and out of that ministry, Kenny would begin to have a worldwide impact on men's0:39 lives through every man ministry that he still runs today. His books are in the hands of men that you would know, I would know, all over the world. And in that moment at Gateway, we had a0:51 connection and a bond that literally has taken us together around the country, speaking to men. And there are very few men that I would really say, I I want to do life with, but I also1:03 want to do ministry with. And and it's just it's the relationships that you know when you have them, it's there there's no work, there's no labor, there's just so there's no pretense. It's just1:14 life. And it is so good. And often on many occasions, he will call and ask how I'm doing, and we just call each other. And the Bible says, Iron sharpens iron. And I have1:26 the privilege of being in this man's life. He's the executive pastor as well at Crossline Church, great church there in Laguna Hills. And, I just want you to know we are honored, but we have been1:38 blessed to have this man come and speak to us. And, as Pastor Kenny comes to speak and give the word, I want you to take a look at this video that will set up what he's about to say, in1:50 Jesus name.2:01 The dangerous good movement is a movement of men all over the world who believe that being strong and being loving are not mutually exclusive. It's a movement that2:13 rejects self centered broken male culture that causes others to suffer. It's a movement that is for strength, but that strength is shaped and directed by equally2:25 strong character and compassion. And when you have strength with character and compassion, you have a dangerous good man, who will be welcomed by the world,2:37 that is in desperate2:37 need of a revolution of men who care. Now, the2:37 model is Christ, a revolution of men who care. Now the model is Christ, who brought to the world a new wave of masculinity that disrupted the broken male culture of his day,2:49 but it wasn't by being nice or tolerant, he disrupted the ethnic, religious, and toxic masculinity of his time by being strong and loving as a man. He launched a new way of3:01 how to be a man, believe as a man, and behave as a man never seen before. 1 that defended and protected women. 1 that recognized and raised the value of children. 13:13 that didn't pre qualify others on the basis of race. And against the dark back drop right now of hashtag me too, toxic masculinity, and a broken male culture that is simply3:25 dangerous, there is coming a new movement of men in the mold of Christ himself that do not need to stay invisible. Instead, they're gonna shine against the darkness for all to3:37 see. Dangerous good men by the millions will rise and make billions of life changing choices in the character of Christ. Life giving hope and blessing will be3:49 1 dangerous good man away for tens of millions of women and children all over the world. Men are gonna embrace it. Women are gonna welcome it. And evil is gonna loathe it. The dangerousYour Identity as Son of the King 4:01 good are coming.4:18 Alright. Alright, take a seat man. Pastor Joe, thank you. I am a champion now because of my relationship, with you. It's good to be back at Celebration, good to be at4:30 Calibrate. You know the impact of this church. You're not in a church that is a self contained holy huddle. This church is changing the world. You know that. I hope you know that. I hope you know what a4:42 gift Pastor Lori and Pastor Joe are to you, that the kingdom of God is advancing forcefully, and this church believes that forceful men will take hold of it. Those are the words of Jesus.4:54 You have a pastor who is a model, he is a mentor, and he pours into his men because he believes, that the gospel is going to be realized in this city,5:06 by a movement of spirit empowered men. And this church is at the center of changing this city. I know your pastor. I know his vision. I know his story of how he came5:18 here. And along with the other churches in the body of Christ, Celebration Church is gonna change this city. Do you believe that? Yes. I believe that. I believe that.5:30 I believe that. I'm I'm excited to be here because, 1 spirit empowered man changes many things. 1 transformed spirit empowered5:41 man changes many things. Has a blast on you. Say, Kenny, where's that in the Bible? In Romans 5 19, it says, just as through the disobedience of the 1 man, many were made sinners, so also5:53 through the obedience of the 1 man, many will be made righteous. You know what that's called? A blast zone. Everybody say blast zone. Blast zone. That's right. When you have the spirit of God in you, you're a6:05 giver of life through your obedience to Jesus Christ. You know, I was at the gym this morning right outside my hotel. My gym is right there. I was so stoked. So I made an appointment. I got up early. I6:17 went there. I walked in. I'm from out of town. They say, where are you from? They said, Orange County. And they said, oh, that's where all the women look fabulous, but their their marriages are falling apart. I said,6:28 that's where I'm from. Yeah. And and they said so what are you doing in Austin? And I said I'm speaking at Celebration Church and it was almost like the girl that was talking to me just like levitated. She's6:39 like, you're gonna speak tonight at Calibrate? And I'm like, Yes. I am. What are you gonna do right now? I'm a little scared of you. She goes, I was6:51 just baptized at Celebration Church last week. And I just went, tell me your name, are you dating someone? You asked my boyfriend, Heston if you're in the room. Hannah says hello.7:05 Invited another dude that was there, Steve Adams if you're here, Steve or not. Hello, how are you? So let's get into this session a little bit. I was asked to talk about influence7:17 and I want to ask you a question. If you were to characterize in general what the public thinks about male influence at this hour of history, how would they characterize it? I don't7:29 know about you, but I am sick of choking on the bad news surrounding male influence in this country. It boils my blood and it breaks my heart.7:42 It boils my blood that there are 42000000 women who wake up every day and have a job. They're called prostitutes. Their number 1 customer is men. It boils my blood and it breaks my heart that there are7:53 173000000 children around the world without a daddy. It boils my blood and it breaks my heart that 70 to 80 percent of the metro urban families in8:05 our country do not have a dad in it, which quadruples unwed teen pregnancy, incarceration, drug use, and high school dropout rates. It8:17 boils my blood and it breaks my heart that every 15 seconds I'm up here, a man balls his fist and hits a woman in the face. Domestic violence.8:29 18 years ago, I got sick of it. And that's why I started Everyman Ministries. Because I saw the influence of broken male character and conduct, and I thought the women aren't gonna stop it. I have to stop it.8:42 Through my own life. Through my own influence. Someone's gotta do something. And that just doesn't even touch on all the covert emotional abuse. I mean even right now8:54 we've got 1 of our most prized national treasures and football coaches going through a scandal and he didn't intervene. He didn't step up. He didn't9:06 step in to defend and protect a woman who was being physically abused. Guys, trust me. I come from Guamanian culture. We're super masculine9:18 in Guamanian culture. Alright? That's that's where this pigmentation comes from. My mom was liberated by 1st marines on the island of Guam in 19 45. Semper Fi.9:30 But I'll tell you, there's a solution. I'll tell you I'll tell you that the reactions that you're seeing right now are not the solution. Activism is9:42 a reaction, but it's not a solution. Right? Jesus told us a solution. Right? He said, make a tree good and its fruit will be good. Make a tree9:54 bad and its fruit will be bad. Good things come out of the good man because of the good that is stored up in him. Evil things come out of the evil man because of the evil that is inside10:06 of him. Did you hear it? Yeah. In Luke 11, Jesus said, so if you, fathers, know how10:17 to give good gifts to your children and your evil, how much more will your heavenly father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?10:30 That is a solution. Can I get an amen? Amen. You see, Jesus said in Luke chapter 4, the spirit of the Lord is upon me,10:43 And he's anointed me. Preached gospel to the poor, sight to the blind, release to the captives. To be dangerous with goodness. In the book of Acts chapter 2 verse 14, it says,10:55 and Peter stood with the 11 in front of thousands of other men. And what did they proceed to do? They proceeded to11:06 relieve pain and reduce loads and raise spirits and reach souls. You read the the fellowship of the dangerous good filled with the Holy Spirit in the11:18 book of Acts and you just go, wow. That's incredible. Because between church and a prayer meeting, 2 by 2, they're walking into the small spaces of life helping people.11:30 In Acts chapter 3, Peter and John see a man and he can't walk and he's begging for money. And he calls out to them and he says, I'm not gonna give you gold or silver, but I'm gonna give you11:42 what I do have. In the name of Jesus, walk. And they start doing good in that city, so much so that the word spreads that the good that spirit empowered men are11:54 doing, everyone's hearing about it. And in Acts chapter 4 verse 16 it says, we have witnessed a notable miracle. The whole city knows about it. Do you think Austin wants to hear about spirit empowered men12:06 who are relieving pain and reducing loads and raising spirits and reaching souls? Every city in America needs a movement of spirit empowered12:18 men. Let's say that together. Spirit empowered men. That's right. Men who know Jesus Christ, men who have had the holy spirit deposited as pastor Joe said into their life. And they guard that12:30 deposit, and they steward that deposit, and they let that deposit come in and change them from the inside out. And the kingdom of God comes in them, and then the king of God explodes through them. Like Jesus. You see,12:42 Jesus walked into a culture that thought like this. Thank God I'm not a woman. Thank God I'm not a kid. And thank God I'm not a Gentile. That was the toxic male12:54 culture that he came into. What did Jesus do? He stepped in to protect and defend women. He said, no. No. No. No. Let the children come. And he touched them and he blessed them. And then he startedIntegrity, Liberty, Energy for Influence 13:06 telling parables about the good Samaritan and reaching those, oh, those Samaritans. Wow. He turned broken male culture on its head. If that's the spirit of the Lord anointing Jesus to do that in his13:17 time and in his culture that was toxic too, what do you think God's call is on men and the body of Christ right now? To intervene, to step in, to step out.13:30 Not to have beliefs, but to have convictions. You see, a belief doesn't become a conviction until you live it in the open. So there is incredible,13:42 incredible, incredible relevance to this meeting because God wants his sons back. See, you have sons of covenant acting13:54 like sons of culture, and God's saying no more. You have sons of Christ acting like sons of culture, And God says, blending is not14:06 the mark of a man of God. It's like in The Lion King. How many of you guys ever seen Lion King? Okay. It's a lot of you. So you got the son of a14:18 king who has responsibility to his identity, and because he's irresponsible with his responsibility connected to his identity, his influence goes14:30 in the dinker. In fact, he builds a world for himself with a warthog who farts and a meerkat who dances. And he looks goofy14:42 with them because he's a lion. And then he grows from a cub to a strong male, and now he looks more goofy. Until14:54 a baboon hunts him down and tells him who he is. Rafiki. Remember that? I know you. You're Mufasa's boy.15:09 What did that mean? You're the son of the king. That's your identity. This is not your influence. But there is evil that needs to be confronted back in the pride, and the kingdom is15:21 suffering because you've abandoned your identity and your responsibility, and you've created this blended world that makes you comfortable and cozy, but you are out of place. You are out of15:32 influence and I'm here to tell you who you really are. You're a son of the king and the kingdom is calling right now on you to defeat evil that is making people suffer.15:50 You're sons of the king. The Holy Spirit knows who you are. Do you know who you are? I'm gonna say that 1 more time. The Holy Spirit knows who you16:02 are. But do you know who you are? I'm here to tell you who you are. You're a son of the king. And that identity carries with it great stewardship16:14 and responsibility like Pastor Joe just told us. You see, strength is being attacked in today's culture. Male strength. Hashtag me too, toxic16:26 masculinity, Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer. Here's the problem. Give a man influence, power, strength, wealth, influence, strength,16:38 but he's gotta have character and compassion with that strength or else he will abuse it. That's Jesus.16:50 Jesus didn't turn broken male culture on its head because he chose not to be strong. This is the guy who because he saw a relationship with us said, yet not my will be done, but your will be17:02 done. Setting his comfort and convenience aside and saying yes to what God declares to be significant. Strength is not the issue, men. People love17:14 men who are strong and good. Men and women love men who are strong and good because their strength is shaped by the spirit17:26 of God that gives a man the character of Christ, that shapes his strength. And it comes out as a dangerous man to broken male17:38 culture, but a man who is welcomed by women and children in a world who desperately need it. You know, there's 90000000 men in America. 9 out of 10 of them17:50 had some kind of superhero paraphernalia. Batman, Superman, Ironman, Captain America. How many guys18:02 ever owned anything superhero? Raise your hand right now. Okay. That's the whole room. Why? Because you wanna be great and you wanna do great things. And you wanna defend the vulnerable. And you wanna deliver justice.18:13 And you wanna have special power. And you wanna stick it to evil. Amen? Amen. Who put that desire there? God did. God did. But instead of actually18:25 doing it, we're making the Marvel and DC franchises billions of dollars and saying, man, I wish I could be like that. God's here to18:37 tell you, you have the goods to be like that. You can be dangerous with goodness in the spirit of Christ. You have special power. You have a commission to defend the weak. You have a commission18:49 to defeat evil in your city. You don't have to look at look very far. And I'll tell you who culture has rejected. Culture has rejected broken alpha male, strength without character. They19:01 are reject they have rejected soft omega male, lots of character and no strength. But they're looking for alpha and omega coming together in 1. The man who is19:12 tough and tender, the man who is courageous and compassionate, the man who is sacrificial and servant oriented. They're looking for Jesus and he lives in you, but if you don't live out your faith in front of people in19:23 your city, they will not see him and they will regret it and they will be sad and they will be depressed and evil will win. The world has thrown us 1 of those blue19:35 dot softballs.19:35 How many19:35 of you guys ever played softball in your life? It's a little trick to the hitting, but you just gotta sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, and just wait. And then you just see that big blue dot and then you just kind of you just19:47 drive. The Lord is throwing us the most massive blue dot softball right now in history. Because it's so dark that you can see the19:59 light. When I bought my wife's diamonds, the jeweler came to my office, he opened his briefcase, and he glittered out all of these beautiful diamonds, and against the black velvet I could see every facet. The20:11 spirit empowered men's movement that God wants is gonna be like that. You are God's dazzling diamonds against the dark backdrop20:23 of what's going on in culture. God's calling you out. So, influence. How are we going to do it? Well my mentor said to me, J. P. Jones, I was 3 months a Christian20:35 and I got into a Bible study at UCLA and he used to say to me, Kenny, the truest thing about you is what God says is true. Can we say that together? The20:47 truest thing about you is what God says is true. Not what the world says is true, not what my past says is true, not what my title on my card says is true, not what my mistakes say is20:59 true, not what my bench press record says is true, not what It's what God says is true. And I'll tell you what, Satan's winning the war of identity with God's21:11 men because their identity is in the world, and he's neutralized them. But God is here to tell you through the Holy Spirit, the truest thing about you21:23 is what I say is true. And you're a son of the king. And you have limited time, and you have an unknown ending, and you have a scheduled meeting with me. It creates a21:35 little urgency in you, doesn't it? And you know what else the spirit of God is saying to us right now? It says, you are made by God, you are made for God, and you are going to God. So if21:46 you want influence, you gotta live out your truest identity. So we're gonna look at Christ very briefly. Living out my truest identity, number 1, gives me integrity to influence. Write that down.21:58 Living out my truest identity gives me integrity to influence. In Mark 12 14, Jesus' critics are coming at himCall to Connection and Dangerous Goodness 22:10 hard. But you know what? They couldn't get him on 1 thing. They said, teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. For you're not swayed by men. You pay no attention to who they22:22 are. But you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. That word integrity is huge when it comes to influence. Don't you respect men who are the real deal? Right? They walk the walk, they talk the22:33 talk, their words and their ways are together, their beliefs and their behaviors come together. They're the real deal. You know what the world respects? Real deal. Not confused22:45 men who claim an affiliation with Christ, but they're not activated to come against evil In themselves and in their world. No integrity.22:58 Sorry, you're 1 person on Sunday, you're another person on Monday. You know, you say things out here, but at home you you do this. You know what I love about how the critics23:09 defined integrity in this passage, Mark 12 14, is they said, we know you're a man of integrity, you aren't swayed by others. Wow. That's influence. You want to know how to get23:21 influence? Don't be influenced by others, but sit but rest on the fact of what God says is true. Right? That you want to have influence? Don't be influenced by others. Let the truest23:33 thing about you be what God says is true, and let the truest thing that you do is what God says to do. And they saw that in Christ. The word integrity, comes from the math term integer. It means23:45 undivided. Everybody say undivided. Undivided. You want influence? Be undivided between what you believe and how you actually live and think, and you will have influence. That will speak louder than all,23:57 all our jumping up and down, and all our complaining, and all our yacking, and all our partisan politics, and all the things that don't fix nothing. Integrity is your best24:09 gateway to influence. People respect the real deal, so stop caring about what men think. You want a movement in this city? We need spirit empowered men who stop caring about what other guys think.24:22 And they start caring exclusively about what God thinks. Now they're having influence because we're not helping people when we blend and dance and dabble.24:34 We help no 1. All we do is become smaller in our character and less influential. When we live divided between what we believe and how we live and think. Now24:46 Jesus had integrity, And look at who he's influencing. His critics. His critics. You see, integrity, remember this. Let's say this together. Integrity. Integrity.24:58 Allows me to. Allows me to. Be fearless. You know when you are disciplined spiritually, you are free to act25:11 because you're being consistent. If I save money, I'm free to spend. If I go to the gym, I'm free to run a race I couldn't run if I didn't go to gym. When I'm spiritually disciplined and I try to live undivided between25:21 what I believe and how I live and think, I am free to be God's man in the open. And that's who Pastor Joe told you who you are. That's the truest thing about you. The truest thing about you is what God says is true. You25:31 want influence? You gotta have integrity. 2nd, living out my truest identity gives me liberty. Everybody say liberty. Liberty. Okay? You look25:43 at Jesus and his influence. He had a reputation, you know. And his reputation was, his standards are pretty low when it comes to the people he hangs out with.25:56 They said, the son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, here is a glutton and a drunkard and a friend of tax collectors and sinners, but wisdom is proved26:08 right by her deeds. That's so cool. Jesus was free. And because he was free and he knew who he was,26:19 and he was living out his truest identity, and he let the truest thing about him let be be what God says is true about him. He had integrity, and then he had liberty to break the rules. Listen.26:32 To break the rules when compassion or God's word demanded it In the small spaces of life. He didn't care about what the religious superstars sought. He didn't care about what the rich and powerful thought.26:44 He wasn't competing with them. He was only living for an audience of 1, and in his liberty, he had influence. How cool is that? That's the kind of influence God26:55 wants to give you right now. He wants you to put a stake in the ground. To be undivided and to have liberty. Now, liberty has a result too. Liberty27:07 allows me to be free before men. Jesus was free to touch the ethnically unacceptable, the racially unacceptable, the physically27:19 unacceptable, and the morally unacceptable. He was free to break the rules. And you want spirit empowered influence? You're gonna break the rules. Just like27:31 Jesus did. You know, Jesus would say, you know, things and do things where people would go, but you know what it was a witness of? Kingdom rule. Because the king27:43 was in the house. You know the bible calls your life a house? Is the king in your house? When the king's in the house, there's a witness to kingdom rule. When the king's not in charge of the house,27:54 there's not a witness to kingdom rule. And you see, the world is waiting just like Jerusalem saw it. He was this way, now he's this way. The whole city's finding out. They used to think this way, now they think this way.28:05 Now they're relieving pain and reducing loads versus becoming destroyers. That's a witness of kingdom rule. And so when you're free to break the rules of broken male culture,28:17 man, that's a witness to kingdom rule. I'm I'm not like that. You know, just like when Pastor Joe was telling that story about, hey, you probably look at this, and he didn't dabble. He gave it back in the power of the28:29 Holy Spirit and led all those men to the Lord. You see that's what you know how many guys are operating in that whole pride and fear zone? And pride is just insecurity turned inside out.28:41 So Jesus was fearless. Why? Because he had integrity. Jesus was free because he had his liberty. You wanna have influence? Living out your truest identity gives you28:53 energy to influence. So just remember the theme here. If I want influence, I gotta live out my truest identity. The truest thing about me is what God says is true, and that will give me integrity, which will make me29:04 fearless. That will give me liberty, which makes me free before men, and it'll give me energy. Jesus would say things like this, the 1 who sent me is with me. The 1 who sent me is with me,29:15 for I always do what pleases him. Jesus would say things like, my food is to do the will of him who sent me. Jesus would say things like, as long as it is day, we must work the works of him who sent me29:27 for night is coming when no man can work. Fellas, I said it earlier. I want you to say it with me. Limited time. Unknown ending. Unknown29:39 ending. Scheduled meeting. Scheduled meeting. Eternity should be driving your energy. That's what Jesus said. He said as long as it's day, that's when people work,29:52 we must work. Pastor Joe told you the Holy Spirit's talking tonight. I'm telling you. We must work. Jesus said it. We gotta work the works of him who sent Jesus. We gotta work the works of God30:04 because night's coming and that's it. You know in Matthew 25, when the Bible's talking about, you know, when you meet your maker,30:16 there's a feeling. Not only is there limited time, unknown ending, scheduled meeting, there's a future feeling. And you get to decide right now, tonight, what that future feeling's gonna be. It can be well done, good and30:28 faithful servant. What does Jesus say? Come and enter your master's happiness. Or it's you wicked, lazy servant, not guarding the30:39 good deposit. Not not allowing God to speak into who he is and what he does. And he wasted his time on earth. Throw him out. Now those are hard words, but those are the red30:51 letters. That feeling is not where there'll be weeping and gnashing of teeth. You know what weeping and gnashing of teeth is? Have you ever when you've forgotten to do something or you didn't do something and you31:01 regretted it, have you ever gone, oh. You ever done that? That's weeping and gnashing of teeth. But it feels worse when you're standing before God and you're31:13 going, oh. Saved as through the fire. Because of the choices that you make. See, when you live out your truest identity,31:24 when you let what the truest thing about you be what God says is true, you're gonna have integrity and you're gonna be fearless. You're gonna have liberty and you're gonna be free and you're gonna have energy.31:36 Why? Because you're focused on eternity. You can you know you got a meeting coming. And we got Hey, guess what? I was driving home from an Angels game. 10 45 at night. I drive this thing all the time. 5531:48 miles an hour, drunk driver slams head on into me. Just a year ago. It could have been over. It was like seeing a Patriot missile. I now I know what a pilot thinks goes through his head when he sees a32:00 missile coming in his peripheral. It's over. I'm dead. And I just thought, well, I guess this is it. And I just turned the wheel a little bit. Should've killed this gal. Didn't.32:14 We jumped the curb. Went into oncoming traffic. She smashed my quarter panel on the right side so hard that the other side of my car was like that. And and32:26 we all walked away. But I'll tell you what, that was sobering. You're not guaranteed the right home. Right. Limited time, unknown ending, scheduled meeting, future feeling.32:39 Okay. How do you wanna feel? I wanna feel good. As your pastor, as your pastor right now in this moment, I am telling you, some of you need to stop being affiliated to Jesus Christ,32:51 and you need to start getting activated right now. That is what the Holy Spirit is saying. Living out my truest identity gives me integrity,33:03 liberty, energy. That's influence, guys. In the big and small spaces. Right? Last, living out my truest identity points others to my33:15 ultimate destiny. Living out my truest identity points others to my ultimate destiny. Jesus' identity33:27 was God's son. He would say quite often, I've come from God, and I'm going back to God. Alright? We should say that right now. I come from God, and I'm33:39 going back to God. That's your ultimate destiny. Alright? Decisions influence destinations. Remember? Future feeling. Jesus in the33:51 in in his high priestly prayer, right before he's gonna go to the cross, listen to his words. Alright? Again, on this theme of living out my truest identity points others to34:03 my ultimate destiny. Jesus looked toward heaven and prayed, Father, the hour has come. Glorify your son, that your son may glorify you. Okay? Here we are. Gonna glorify the father at the cross.34:15 Gnarly.
