- 73One Changed Man Part 2 – Audio OnlyWhat is in control of your life? Who, or what makes the decisions? What calls the shots? Is it your appetite? Desires? Plans? Hopes? Dreams….or is it Jesus? What Christ desires of us is surrender. That we would relinquish what control we think we have, over to the One who holds all things. But…it’s not as easy as it sounds! So many voices vying for our attention, so many things claiming to be true…how does God’s man know what to do? Join us for week two of One Changed Man, where we’ll unpack the freedom we find when Jesus Christ becomes the King over our entire lives.
- 74One Changed Man Part 1 with Dusty Davis – Audio OnlyWe often wonder what difference our life is making, or if it is making a difference at all. In such a vast world it is easy to feel insignificant. BUT…the Creator God has planned, purposed, and placed Every Man to make an impact for His Kingdom. The true question is not if my life is having an impact, but rather what kind of impact is my life having? As God begins to change us, to transform us He always does so with a purpose in mind. We are changed, to be used to change others. What can our God do, through One Changed Man? In this series we’ll study the lives of 4 men whom God changed, and then used powerfully to change many others.
- 75Forever Brothers Part 6 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyIn the Star Wars meta-verse there is one saying you can count on when something intense or meaningful is going to take place. Do you know what it is? When one character in the resistance must leave or separate from another brother in the resistance to head out to battle the dark side, the one staying will always say to the other: "May the force be with you." Upon leaving earth to return to heaven Jesus asked the Father to protect his men who would remain on earth to fight evil and advance his Kingdom as well. His prayer would travel down through the ages to this moment, to me, and to you as we enter the battles of our era in his name. He asked for UNITY among his men so the world would know that He was the Son of God. In other words, Jesus says "The force is with US." He says that the power of his kingdom will manifest when his people are unified AS ONE.
- 76Forever Brothers Part 5 – Audio OnlyEver heard a friendship described as two people being "thick as thieves"? It means they have secrets and experiences only they know about - they are bonded by unique history and events. Their connection is THICK. The fact of friendships is that the good ones cost you. A price has been paid for it - choices that reflect uninhibited commitment. It is rare air to find and keep a relationship like this. Few reach that space - as it should be. They have "place." Imagine the small triangle space at the top a large pyramid versus the large spacious base. That's the difference between consecrated relationships which are few and casual relationships which are many. The Bible says to "consecrate yourselves to the Lord" or set that relationship apart as special. The same is true with godly friendships. Who in your life is "set apart" as friends under God? Who is at the top of the pyramid? Who is a true forever brother? What does spiritually "thick" look like?
- 77Forever Brothers Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyNo one disagrees with this simple fact: relationships are a risk- especially at the start. You can't know before the fact if they are gonna work out. At the same time, when your risk of connecting was rewarded with close, lifelong friendship you believe the risk we took was worth it! The same is true with God. We must - by faith - risk toward the relationship without knowing the outcome in advance and we are glad we did! Jesus delights in our faith placed in him, his ways, and his words. If that's the model - risking for relationship - then how does that apply to the family of God and being a brother? For those relationships to be great shouldn't we have to risk as well? But how? In what specific ways? Are you ready to take the leap into better community? If so, God says you are gonna have to take some new risks.
- 78Forever Brothers Part 3 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyMasculine and intimacy are not a natural pairing of words. And yet, survey after survey shows that the greatest need among men to combat isolation is closeness with a few other men. If you follow Jesus, know THIS: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are close. The Bible represents our own relationship with God as a Good Shepherd who loves the sheep and the sheep desperately need him and each other. But because of cultural, familial, religious, or traumatic factors men are failing at friendships. In fact, every 11 minutes, desperation and deception win, a man believes a suicide lie and takes life - literally - with his own hand. While you may not be in that category, every man is vulnerable when isolated to believe things. The "solution" is community - the real kind you drink in like a fine wine and treasure. Do you have that? Solid, consistent, meaningful connection is God's plan. But no one can force you. Could it be that the missing piece of your "success" formula is simply better friendships?

- 79Forever Brothers Part 2 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyGod has a plan for your friendships. Do you know what that is? Seems silly but most men don't enter into things which could change the course of their lives dramatically without doing a little research first. But when it comes to the men closest to us we tend to have a "go with he flow mentality" as long as we are having fun and no one is getting harmed. This lack of intentionality in community is definitely NOT God's plan. In fact, God's Word is crystal clear with respect to what he wants for your community of buddies who know Jesus and are connected to you -- and it is not as simple as gathering and studying the Bible. It SO MUCH MORE! The bottom line for Christ-centered brotherhood is a willingness to risk in the direction of your identity in Christ and then live that identity out with other men in community as intentionally as possible.
- 80Forever Brothers Part 1 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyWhat one word comes to mind when you think about God? Loving? All powerful? Gracious? Truth? God is many things all at once but a word not frequently used to describe God is RELATIONAL. In Jesus' final prayer to the Father about and for us he paints a picture of interwoven relationship that he desires for you and me with God at the center: "...that they may all be one, even as you, Father, are in me and I in You, that they may also be in US, so that the world will believe You sent Me." Close, eternal bonds are the driving force for the Godhead and his people. Can the same be said of God's men today? Are we connected eternally first and socially, professionally, and ethnically second? Is our identity and its connection to eternity resulting in a powerfully intimate and strong community? Jesus said to his men, "For one is your Teacher and you are all brothers." Then, just like now, acting and connecting like forever brothers holds the key to the life God wants for us. You can't become like Jesus by yourself. You can if you have FOREVER BROTHERS taking you deeper. Do you?
- 81From the Inside Out Part 6 – Audio Only“It is only the true gospel that protects the heart of God’s man. But, what does it protect him from? From the love of money, from the pursuit of worldly things, and from ever thinking he can either EARN or LOSE the love of God. For God’s man, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is everything. Don’t miss the sixth and final session in our series “Inside Out”.
- 82From the Inside Out Part 5 – Audio OnlyWhy is it that the elderly are so revered in scripture, and so ignored in culture? When did men decide to take cues from our culture or our flesh rather than the word of God? 1 Timothy 5 will begin with a quick counter cultural calling for God's man to honor the more aged members of society...but the truth doesn't stop there! Join us for week 5 of From The Inside Out!
- 83From the Inside Out Part 4 – Audio OnlyOur culture is eroding truth itself. We have subjective versions of truth; your truth, my truth…but, how do we know what is ACTUALLY the truth? We will only be able to spot a lie, to the extent that we know the truth. So what do we do? As God’s Man we feast on the truth…DAILY! Join us as we unpack 1 Timothy 4, in our series “From The Inside Out!
- 84From the Inside Out Part 3 – Audio OnlySo many things seek to control the heart, and the life of God’s man. The desire to accumulate and achieve, the things we do for fun, the quest for meaning and purpose…but God’s man is to be controlled by one thing… the Spirit of God. Join us for week 3 of our series “Inside Out” where we continue to unpack Paul’s encouragement to Timothy.
- 85From the Inside Out Part 2 – Audio OnlyIn any battle, in any skirmish or military effort one of the initial and most important tactical attacks….is upon communication. If you can disrupt communication, you can defeat your enemy. For God’s Man, prayer is our direct line of communication to our leader…Jesus Christ. Prayer is the method through which God reveals His plan, encourages our hearts, and leads our lives. The question is…are we men of prayer? Will we become men of prayer? Join us for session two as we unpack the power of a praying Man!
- 86From the Inside Out Part 1 with Dusty Davis – Audio OnlyEverything that God wants to unlock in our lives, all of the places He wants to use us powerfully, everything He desires to do THROUGH us….begins by things unlocking WITHIN us. In a time when he deeply needed encouragement, Timothy received a letter from his lifelong mentor and friend..Paul. Through the book of 1 Timothy we will find out that God’s man is made strong in the inner places, so that he can build the kingdom in the spaces and places God has placed Him. The Christian life is truly lived…. From The Inside Out.
- 87Secret Life Part 5 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyTO REGISTER FOR THE EMM PROMISE LAND LIVING GROUP SIGN UP AT: https://promisedlandliving.com/emm/ When things are not going well materially in a man's life he tends to believe that things aren't going well spiritually. The thought is: "Maybe God isn't pleased with how I am living my life?" The translation or thinking behind that thought is that God is less present in financial adversity and more present in financial prosperity. WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! We all know poor people who live lives rich in love and God and rich people who live lives bankrupt in the same. So that can't be right and, according to the Bible, isn't! So how should we think about material prosperity? What should our attitude be about our financial condition? How do we get our heads right about this all consuming emphasis of life so that our peace is not robbed and we live joyfully and gratefully in God? Hit PLAY on session 5 of The Secret Life with Kenny Luck and find out.
- 88Secret Life Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyTime is to relationships is what oxygen is to life - you can't have one without the other. The fact of the matter is that every man wants great relationships but not every man disciplines himself toward that strong hope. Any man who has ever taken an interest in a woman understands this! If he hopes to be with her in any way, he must discipline himself to get her attention, spend time, and risk acceptance or rejection. When it comes to getting close to God, that same hope and that same pursuit is met with acceptance one hundred percent of the time. Oh, and God loves when it is just you and him. Do we dare stand him up? Not if we desire closeness and connection. Join men's expert and Pastor Kenny Luck for a deep dive into Jesus' call for a secret life of spiritual disciplines.
- 89Secret Life Part 3 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyMy third grade teacher wrote on my progress report "Kenny is a bright student but he has diahrrea of the mouth." WOW. Point taken. I said a lot of words but they were not connected in the moment and I was not self aware - ruining the hope for meaningful connection with anybody! Jesus says "When you pray don't heap up empty phrases like the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them." WOW. This is strong medicine when it comes to the discipline of prayer and what meaningful conversation with God looks like. What would Jesus write on our PRAYER PROGRESS REPORT? Sometimes we need to get it straight from Jesus - unfiltered. Join men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck on how a secret life of prayer can change everything.
- 90Secret Life Part 2 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyPublic visibility is the wallpaper of today's culture. Before the advent of social media only the notorious or the glorious became visible by virtue of their victories, their vice or their violence. Infamous. The rest of humanity remained unseen. Being seen is a primal human desire but being seen by God who has perfect knowledge, constant presence, and offers full acceptance - like the bible teaches - is seemingly not enough for most Christians. So in response, and in an evil twist, Christians use their faith to be seen by others. True in Jesus time. True now. True of you? "That's not me!" you say? Self righteousness is not only powerfully deceptive, it's subtle but NOT a secret to those around you and to God himself. At stake? Your glory or God's glory. One life makes religious life public by intention and the other makes it hidden by intention. Curious which is you? Join men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck for the answer to a challenging issue facing all Christians.
- 91Secret Life Part 1 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyIt is the stuff of news headlines when the private life of a public person goes viral. People are hungry to know what goes on in the private worlds of others lives - especially when they work hard to keep things unknown! The Bible says that there is no such thing as secret life when there is God. We can hide things from people. We can keep our thoughts to ourselves. Or we can compartmentalize the reality of God's omniscience neatly boxed away on a shelf in our brain to make space for certain behaviors. In fact, many times our hidden life reveals the person we don't want to be. But Jesus says there is another secret life that we can live that is invisible to men but visible to God which he desires to bless which forces a choice. We can live a secret life God will ultimately reveal or we can live a secret life that God will ultimately reward. Which life are you living? Join men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck for this powerful session introducing you to the secret life God sees, knows, and wants you to live with him.
- 92As One with Dusty Davis Part 6 – Audio OnlyIn our last session, we discussed the reality that WHEN Christ returns, as well as HOW Christ returns is not nearly as impactful in our lives as the reality THAT Christ is returning. Chapter 5 does begin to give us a picture of what that day will look like…. And it will be unexpected! The reality of Christ’s return informs everything in our lives…including how we encourage one another. Join us for our final session in 1 Thess.
- 93As One with Dusty Davis Part 5 – Audio OnlyFor so many, death and hope cannot coexist. Death is the ultimate expression of hope that failed….but not for God’s man! Through Christ, we realize that death can contain incredible hope…in fact, it is through the death of Christ that all hope is birthed! But how can we be prepared, aware and ready when our number is called? Join us as we complete chapter 4 of 1 Thess.
- 94As One Part 4 with Dusty Davis – Audio OnlyIf the enemy can lower our view of scripture, he wins. Such a challenging and ominous reality in a world that is continuing to lower its view of the Bible. BUT, God’s man recognizes that the words of Paul to the Thessalonians were, in fact, the very words of God brought by the Holy Spirit! Our view of the word shapes our view of everything! Join us as we jump into the first 12 verses of chapter 4.
- 95As One Part 3 with Dusty Davis – Audio OnlyCulture has sold us a brand of Christianity that promised no pain, no struggle and no conflict. Health, wealth and prosperity all wrapped up in an easy life…..but Paul loved us enough to lay it out plainly. We were not only promised troubles…we were destined for them BUT God’s man can find peace, strength and even joy in the struggle. How? Tune into week 3!
- 96As One Part 2 with Dusty Davis – Audio OnlyThe unity between us, comes from the Spirit of God living within us. Oftentimes, the challenges we faith in this live cause us to retreat. To retreat physically into isolation, and mentally and physically into a desperate aloneness making us vulnerable to the enemy. How can we turn towards one another during our most challenging seasons? How can our faith encourage another, and how can the faith of another protect a protective shield to me in times of trouble? Tune in to find out!
