- 242The Corona Chronicles Part 7 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyWhen the pressure underneath the surface exceeds the pressure on top of the surface you have a good old fashioned explosion. Doesn't matter whether it's pot on your stove or magma simmering for years under earth's crust or a global pandemic that has forced people indoors for 2 months - pressure over time will produce an eruption. You can see the lid beginning to foam and the steam escaping the surface of this COVID 19 pressure cooker which is about to spill over and onto the street. This experience and the changes it has brought will be felt in the coming days, weeks, and months in every dimension of life and culture. The question for people of faith is: "What will be the overflow onto culture from all of the work God did in us during this crisis?" The blueprint for a group of Christ followers told to quarantine themselves, receive power from heaven, and then explode out upon their culture is found in the Bible. What did that look like? What did people say? How did that moment change history? In the last session of The Corona Chronicles men's expert and pastor Kenny will challenge every believer from to work out in culture what God has worked into them through a crisis. God's unplanned plan is for the work His Spirit during the waiting period to be followed by a power period which glorifies God and influences millions.
- 243The Corona Chronicles Part 6 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyWe live in a culture that is changes faster than ever before. Like a fast moving rapid once you are in it - it is hard to get out of it's grip and avoid its pull upon your whole life. But that is exactly what God has done for most of us in the COVID CRISIS. The once foreign and remote idea of a national quarantine is now a daily reality. As we have discovered - in the midst of the craziness GOD is moving in us and all around us. We are resetting our lives. We are rethinking our priorities. We are recommitting to people. We are reconsidering how we live, what we believe, and where we will be placing our personal and professional energy as men. Will you make the shift successfully? Or will you hold on to to your assumptions and approaches to life and living? That's the very real and very daunting challenge of this moment as it appears a transition is occurring as a carefully orchestrated resumption of the global human ecosystem begins. For perhaps the only time in our lives, the obstacle of a pandemic has now become the opportunity of lifetime to change some things. Or not. In Part 6 of The Corona Chronicles: God's Unplanned Plan For Your Life men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck is going to explore how disruptions can take us to the new destinations God's plan.
- 244The Corona Chronicles Part 5 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyTo get us ready for today's study let me ask you a question: Have you ever had the windshield of your car fog up? You know ... where you can't see through it and it makes it hard to drive? Not only is it dangerous but it makes you nervous when you can't see what is front of you clearly! Or maybe you have a window in your house that has a lot build up on it and you can't see through it. The bottom line is that we need to get rid of that fog on the windshield and spray some glass cleaner on that window so we can see what is on the other side. THAT... is exactly what God is up to right now with this circumstance. He is removing the build up. He is clearing up the fog. But for what purpose? So that you can SEE HIM CLEARLY.
- 245The Corona Chronicles Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyPart 4: THE CORONA CHRONICLES Rising above. Think about it. The greatest moments in history involve poor odds, limited resources, desperate times, and snatching victory from almost certain defeat. Movies are made about these moments and when we watch them we feel something inside. Sure, we are pulling for the characters in these stories but we are so invested emotionally because the person we are really pulling for - in reality - is ourselves! We project ourselves into the story. We project our challenges into their challenges. We hope for ourselves the exact thing we are hoping for them. Either they will succumb under the pressure to their negative circumstances and emotions or - through some personal motivation, perspective or hope - they will transcend them. Right now, that's everyone. We hear impressive people right now say depressive things like "it's going to be worse before it gets better" or perhaps we hear from a boss that the company is being forced into lay-offs. What will the future hold? And it is that moment that fear and sadness face off against faith and hope. Who will win? In Part 4 of the Corona Chronicles Pastor Kenny Luck is going to remind all people of faith that you own some wings that will create the exact lift you need to rise above.
- 246The Corona Chronicles Part 3 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyPart 3: THE CORONA CHRONICLES: GOD'S UNPLANNED PLAN How do you react when your plans are interrupted? Normal people get frustrated. We say things like: "Really!" or "You have got to be kidding me right now!" or "Seriously!" Those are the PG rated versions - others are more colorful but they all mean the same thing You had an expectation and - now through no fault of your own - that EXPECTATION is being replaced with a "SITUATION" you must now adjust to and navigate. No human being plans their own interruptions. But God - on the other hand - specializes transforming and using all of life's interruptions to achieve what our carefully planned "smooth seas" could never do. In Part 3 of the Corona Chronicles Pastor Kenny Luck is going to reveal the key decisions that move you into God's supernatural plan when it appears your plans and dreams are being interrupted.
- 247The Corona Chronicles Part 2 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyPART 2: The Corona Chronicles: God's Unplanned Plan "CRAZY" is a word you are hearing a lot right now - especially on social media - as people strive to make sense of the upside down circumstance they find themselves in. Strangest of all? Just a few short weeks ago everything was normal and now the new normal is ...well...CRAZY! Every major aspect of life for all of us, it seems, has been cancelled. And yet, there is a weird, almost surreal thing happening in the midst of CRAZY. People are coming together in new ways. People are helping each other in new ways. People are serving each other in new ways. People are sensing that some "other thing" is happening and, whatever it is, it is refreshing. In Part 2 of the Corona Chronicles, men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck is going to reveal what many feel and show how God has an unplanned plan for your relationships that transcends a virus to a new vision for how you do community.

- 249The Red Letter Warning Part 5 with Kenny LuckIf you are joining this ever-growing community of men for the first time this morning ... WELCOME ...and buckle up! This morning we are finishing what has been one of the most challenging and transforming series we have ever broadcast...THE RED LETTER WARNINGS. RED LETTERS? Those are the words of Jesus. WARNINGS? Those are the urgent or challenging statements spoken to followers of Jesus that - if not heeded - carry dramatic consequences for your relationship with God. And if you thought the first four sessions were strong...this final session is going to take an "X-RAY" of your spiritual life. Now like with any X-RAY, you are going to see what God sees in you. Some of you will already know it's there and God will ask for a new response. Others of you will be made aware for the first time that there is something you need to address or remove. But most of all what I want you to know this morning is that you are in good hands as all of us seek to take our next spiritual step. GOD is with you and I want to encourage you to be courageous this morning. Now before we dive in to today's study, take a moment and share this session with your friends who will be blessed by this mornings encounter with God. Also let us know you are tuning in...say hi...and let us know where you are watching the LIVESTREAM from. OK... you ready for this?
- 250The Red Letter Warning Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyYou happen to be joining us for a powerful and challenging series called the RED LETTER WARNINGS and today we're in Part 4. As the title implies, all words in our lives are not equal - especially when you are a follower of Christ. When he issues a warning - the smart man pays attention and responds. Now to get you ready for today's study... I have a simple question for you: IF YOU KNEW IN ADVANCE THAT SOMEONE IMPORTANT WAS COMING TO YOUR HOUSE...LET'S SAY ....THE PRESIDENT ... OR A CELEBRITY...OR IMPORTANT FAMILY GUESTS FOR A PARTY... WOULD YOU GET READY FOR THEIR ARRIVAL? WHAT WOULD YOU DO? WHAT WOULD YOUR MINDSET BE? That is the theme of today's RED LETTER WARNING
- 251The Red Letter Warnings Part 3 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyIf you are joining us for the first time I want to extend a special welcome to you and let you know that you are a parT if an ever growing community of men who desire to live out their true identity in Christ. In fact, that is the challenge from Jesus. Now to help get your mind and heart better prepared for today’s study, think about someone you call a really close friend - someone you have gone through a lot with - someone you would call on when you were in a tough spot. Got there face in your head? OK - now imagine that same person is asked by someone if they know you? Think about what you would expect them to say? You are pretty confident because your relationship they would not only get excited to say they knew you but they would be able to comment on what great guy you are but also go into detail about your history As bro’s, some of your your experiences and your close connection. right? Well what if you found out later that ... not only did your “close friend” not claim a connection but he denied knowing you at all by staying silent? Now if you’re like me you would say “well that would never happen because we are so close” right? I mean that would be way confusing. In today’s study men’s expert and pastor Kenny Luck is going to look at what Jesus expects when we are asked about our connection to him. In part 3 of the Red Letter Warnings Jesus warns his followers about denying their identity in Christ. So buckle up. Before we get started I am sure there are some friends you can think of that would be challenged and blessed by today’s study. So take a second ... click share and go through the discussion questions connected to this study at a later time.
- 252The Red Letter Warnings Part 2 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyWell if you are just joining us ... we are in Part 2 of a series called THE RED LETTER WARNINGS. If you own a Bible ...then you probably know the red letters in the second half of it are the words of Jesus. In Part 1 we recognized that some statements that Jesus makes to his disciples are - let's just say - a lot stronger than others. There is an urgency and importance that is noticeable because he knows the truth about something, he loves his guys, and there are big consequences at stake. Today ...men's expert and Pastor Kenny Luck is going to dive into the second RED LETTER WARNING of Jesus. I'm going to let Kenny unpack that for you in just a moment. But to get you ready let me ask you a question: Have you ever met someone who claimed to be religious or super spiritual and then they didn't practice what they preached? (Pause) Well, that's where we are headed today... but before we get started I am sure you know of someone who wants to know and walk with Jesus more closely - and if you do - this is the perfect message to share with them.
- 253The Red Letter Warnings Part 1 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlySession 1 Most of my day to day conversations with friends and family don't require me to be serious or raise my voice to get someone's attention. But sometimes ... there are some issues... there are some situations ....where I will raise my tone...or I will have to be more seriousness... or ... I will choose our words more intentionally the moment or topic of discussion calls for it. Think about a guide talking to a team about climbing Mt. Everest ... it's a serious challenge that requires a very serious conversation because there are serious consequences if you are not made aware of the realities you will face on the mountain. That's the idea behind this exciting new series we are calling the RED LETTER WARNINGS. These are the statements by Jesus to his men that have real consequences for your relationship with God. These are truths that reflect his strong love and concern for us. But most importantly, the RED LETTER WARNINGS require a response that will change your relationship with Christ. The Every Man team is praying that you are going to be blessed and challenged and transformed as we encounter Jesus' words.
- 254The Endurance Series Part 5 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyWe have been learning from God’s Word that every man of God needs to develop spiritual endurance (that was part one) … and that when it comes to your ability to withstand hardship, testing, and adversity over the long haul in your faith journey… LIGHTER IS BETTER (we need to shed sin in our lives right now)…we also learned that HOPE IS HUGE (that the prize of enduring is worth the price… in Part 4 we learned the ENCOURAGEMENT IS ESSENTIAL (that we need to receive it regularly in the middle of our race because afterward it does us no good) …which brings us to Part 5 and TODAY’s powerful concluding study in God’s Word. Men’s expert and Pastor Kenny Luck is going to be sharing how ETERNITY fuels the spiritual ENDURANCE of God’s man. Think about it … as God’s man we can make choices that die with us OR we can make choices that last forever and give glory to God. That fact should gives the whole idea that “choices have consequences” a whole different weight and power in your life.
- 255The Endurance Series Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyToday we will be bringing you PART 4 of the ENDURANCE SERIES with men’s expert and pastor Kenny Luck … today we are going to see that when it comes to your spiritual endurance for Christ …your ability to withstand pressure to compromise or give up…and stay faithful over a lifetime.... ENCOURAGEMENT IS ESSENTIAL. Think about it … men who are given encouragement on their journey, take it to heart, and put it to work emotionally are WAY more likely to finish strong than those who receive little or no encouragement. Here is the problem … did you know that most men … including the ones you think are so spiritual … are suffering right now from a lack of encouragement? In fact…we all need to know that a small but meaningful dose of encouragement in the middle of a race is worth more than an hour of congratulations AFTER a race.
- 256The Endurance Series Part 3 by Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyAs we get ready for SESSION 3 OF THE ENDURANCE SERIES… we are going to ask a question that will help us apply today’s study and here it is… are you ready? What is something you have done that was REALLY HARD and TOOK SOME TIME, but when you finished the process you said to yourself, “That was worth it.” I know that some of you immediately thought about a physical race…you trained hard physically for that race … you finished it … or set a personal record…or even won! Lots of guys can identify with that. Hard but worth it. Others of you took a risk and started a business and battled to grow it, fought to make payroll for months, and finally users or customers got consistent and you started making money. What about in the area of relationships? I would be willing to bet that a lot of guys out there went into marriage bright eyed and fully optimistic until you had to work through some hard issues with your wife that you couldn’t just fix…that was reeaaalllly hard but also realllly worth it. It even brought you closer which is for sure …worth it. The big idea for us to think about is this: IF WE THINK THE PRIZE/OUTCOME/RESULT IS WORTH IT – WE WILL PAY WHATEVER PRICE, ENDURE WHATEVER CHALLENGE, AND ENGAGE ANY OBSTACLE TO SEE IT THROUGH. Another way of saying it is that when it comes to our endurance, OUR OBJECT OF HOPE is huge.

- 257The Endurance Series Part 2 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlySESSION 2 Everybody knows that if you are going to be walking, or running, or riding a long distance … LIGHTER is better. Think about it. Can you imagine a marathon runner at the starting line holding 50lb. dumbbells in his hands? You would say “That guy is a dumbbell!” because you know he will not get very far before he has to stop to rest or give up all together. Here is the thing though…as unimaginable as that seems …so many of us are doing the exact same thing in our journey with God…spiritually, we are carrying around sin while we try run the race of faith. And just like that marathoner trying to run with dumbbells…we can allow sin to remain a part of our lives while trying to live Christ. How’s that going? The good news is that every man can get “lighter” right now, go farther than you ever imagined right now, and feel as strong as you ever felt in your faith right now as God’s man … BUT we are going to have to shed the sin that is holding us back and drop the disobedience dragging us down. Will it be a battle? Of course. Will it be a process? Probably. But as we will learn today in Part Two of The Endurance Series – less sin means more energy for relationship with God, more endurance for God, and more impact for God on earth.
- 258The Endurance Part 1 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlySESSION 1 So many things in our lives are requiring less and less time. High tech advancements have shortened just about every aspect of our lives. Think about it. We can send (hold up phone) and expect for someone to receive a personal text message half way around the world and then that person can respond to us as long as there WIFI. So many things can happen so fast and, nowadays, there is not a lot of patience for things that take a long time, for situations that can’t be fixed quickly, or for results that don’t come on our timetable. In fact, the research says we are bailing out faster, quitting earlier, and giving up sooner than ever before on people, on jobs, on new experiences, or just about anything that inconveniences us or causes discomfort. That’s why we are starting a new series today called The Endurance Series. The Bible says that the man of God is a man who must learn how to endure in his faith. That’s what we are going to cover in Part One this morning with Pastor and Men’s expert Kenny Luck. Maybe you feel like you are ready to give up or maybe know a friend who is on the edge.
- 259With God Part 5 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlySESSION 5 – TRANSFORMING WITH GOD We get pictures sent in from churches in every part of the country and world that show men in fellowship halls, around tables, using the outlines, and having discussions. Question: How is men’s ministry going in your church? Do you have a weekly study you can count on to touch and transform men? If you like what the Every Man livestream is doing for you personally, think about what it could mean to the other men in your church or community. We believe that God is raising up movement catalysts and if you have felt that TUG inside to reach the men of your church and community – go to everymanministries.com and get your subscription today that gives you access to dozens of curriculums and content. Start that WILDFIRE in your church and see what happens. As we finish up this powerful series called WITH GOD… we don’t want anyone to think this is has been a journey of getting some great spiritual information. THAT would be a fail. But if the truth that has been shared in sessions 1-4 is being trusted we should see what we are going to discuss this morning – TRANSFORMATION. I like it when Pastor Kenny says “INFORMATION WITH OUT APPLICATION AND TRANSFORMATION IS HALLUCINATION.” In other words, if I have an authentic relationship with God where is He is pouring into me and I am listening …that means that my thinking will begin to change, my living will begin change, and I will be transforming as a man. When is truly with God – he will truly transform and those around him will take notice. But before we dive into to today's study … share this powerful session with friends so that they can experience the transforming and healing power of Jesus. Thanks for doing that.
- 260With God Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlySESSION 4 – LISTENING TO GOD They are refueling just like you, they are recommitting to the fight just like you, and they are going to enter some spaces for Jesus today just like you to take territory BACK from evil. The Every Man Team wants all of you Sons of the King to know that you are NOT alone, we are praying for you, and this morning we declare victory over any evil coming against your life in Jesus name and speak the power of His Spirit onto you, in you, and through you. We are team Jesus and we will always have your back. Well if you are joining us for the first time, or are coming back to the Every Man LIVESTREAM, we are in a powerful series called WITH GOD. The big idea in this series is this: there are ways we can relate to God that have MORE to do with our needs, our desires, or our fears and LITTLE or NOTHING to do with connecting to God himself. And just like there is a rhythm and SIGNALS we send in our relationships with people that let THEM know we are present to be WITH them…the same is true in your connection to God. In today’s study we are going to look at the one signal that communicates your interest in another person in the strongest and clearest way – do you know what it is? LISTENING. In world filled with distractions, shiny objects, endless push notifications from every app on our phone, and a relentless battle with HURRY – the first thing to go is our ability to SLOW, listen thoughtfully to another person, take it in, receive it, and respond in a way that tells them we were actually LISTENING! In today’s culture, it is a special and rare skill that makes you stand out. Ever think why that is? Because when we sense a person is really listening to us – we know they care about us. Same is true in your relationship with God. The only question that remains now is – WHAT SIGNAL ARE YOU SENDING? Buckle up. This session can change forever how you connect with God – and – even how you are connecting with others in your life.
- 261With God Part 3 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyIt helps everyone else watching realize that there are thousands of men, just like them, that God is calling to live out their truest identity as a Son of the King. As we get ready to receive God’s word for today, I want you to think of a time when you were on walk or maybe a hike with someone. Doesn’t matter where the walk is happening – in the city, out in the country, or on the ocean – but the goal is to walk together and experience what ever you see, whatever you sense, or whatever you encounter TOGETHER. Imagine you start out walking together but the other person is getting distracted or focused on something else besides you and starts walking ahead of you. Or maybe instead of walking ahead of you they lag behind. In both cases, do you know what the common denominator is? If you thought to yourself or said the word DISTANCE you would be right. The bible says that God desires to walk with us and while many of us start out walking WITH him, as time passes, as life speeds up, as things we didn’t plan on happening happen… well… we can find ourselves not walking with God but walking alone and by ourselves. In today’s session we are going to learn what walking with God looks likes and means from God’s perspective, why it matters so much, and how NOT to run ahead of him or DROP behind in your connection to him because both places create distance and both places are dangerous for the relationship. But before we dive into to today's study … think about all the people you know who desire a walk with God or … more importantly need to learn how to walk with God … know anybody like that? Now… share this powerful session with them. Thanks for doing that.
- 262With God Part 2 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlySESSION 2 – BEING WITH GOD No matter where you are tuning in from just know that there are thousands of your brothers tuning in with you who are part of a movement of Spirit Empowered men called to be Dangerous with Goodness in your part of the world. When it comes to being with someone – it’s easy to be in the same space. But depending on what is happening on the inside you might be in the right space but your heart is in a totally different space. That’s why Jesus would say things like “They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” Did you here that. He is saying that men claiming a relationship with and who were with him were actually FAR from him in spirit. There was no hiding that fact! He knew that we could say the right spiritual things, be in the right spiritual places, and make the right spiritual motions while, at the same time, be totally disconnected from the heart of God. If that kind of relationship with God sounds like acting – that’s exactly what it is! So why bring that up in preparation for this week’s LIVESTREAM… glad you asked! Just like we can see and sense when a person standing in front of us is detached or not “with us”– it us SUPER TRUE in your connection to God. God is a person and actually can see you from the inside out! And… just like you would question a person’s desire to be with you if they were constantly distracted by other thoughts or concerns or their smart phone, God feels the same way. Now if you are like me – the one person you don’t want to feel that is Jesus. In today’s session we are going to learn what being with God looks likes and means from God’s perspective, why it matters so much, and how God will respond to your sincere and authentic presence. But before we dive into to today's study … think about all the people you know who want a good connection with God… and share this powerful session with them. Thanks for doing that.
- 263With God Part 1 by Kenny LuckWe have so many guys tuning with us I just want to say to ALL of you - whether you are on a run, driving in your car, in the middle of a business trip, at your church, with your men’s group, or just sitting in your favorite chair at home – GOD IS ON THE MOVE in your life and YOU ARE PART OF A MOVEMENT of men who are becoming dangerous with goodness through the Spirit of Christ. We are starting a new series called WITH GOD. So to get you ready for today’s message from God’s Word let me ask you a question…Have you ever let how you are feeling on the inside affect how you relate or connect with people on the outside? The bottom line is that all of our relationship stories are INSIDE stories. What is INSIDE of us will eventually leak out from us and into our most important relationships for better or for worse. And no feeling inside destroys relationships faster and more effectively than FEAR. Fear is powerful. Fear can be subtle. Fear wants to control your connection to God. The good news is that we all battle fear as men. The bad news is that it can ruin our connection to God. So… all I can say is … SUIT UP and prepare your spirit … it’s going to be a powerful time together. But before we dive into to today's study … think about all the people connected to you … and realize they are fighting this same battle with their own fears… and you sharing this powerful session with your friends could make the difference in their life.
- 264Live To Please Part 5 by Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyI think every man watching and listening today would agree that having a clear goal in mind gives you more focus, better energy, and a greater chance at success. No brainer right? Well did you know that God's man only needs to have one goal in mind when it comes to his relationships with God? That's right ... no matter where you are, who your with, or what circumstance you find yourself in - you just have to have one goal in mind - ready for it ? PLEASE GOD. Not always EASY - but that is what Jesus modeled and what the Bible teaches. Jesus lived to please God...Jesus lives in every believer ... and the Bible says that every true believer lives to please God more and more as they grow in Christ. This morning we are going to learn that every man has a unique assignment from God only he can fulfill and God is pleased when we finish the work God has called us to do.
