- 169“come to ME” Part 3 Live with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyA ritual on the playground I remember easily is choosing teams to play kickball. Two "captains" would be selected for a game and they choose alternatively from an assembled group of boys hoping they won't be the last one picked! On those occasions when I was a captain I knew who I would pick first every time without fail - it was my buddy Todd. He had what every kickball team needs if they hope to win - a powerful right leg. Let's put it this way: Todd's leg had the "kick" that sent the other teams we played chasing the "ball." Then, as now, power and strength on your side provides confidence but you have to be intentional in choosing it. In the battle of life, a man who does not choose God to help lead him to victory is a fool for one simple reason - His power. Jesus wants you to pick him. He says, "Come to me." A strong God produces strong confidence and strong wins. Or not.
- 170“come to ME” Part 2 Live with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyMen are like icebergs - most people only see the tip. We live seen and unseen lives. We are very public about our successes or just about anything that reflects well on us. We are also very private about our struggles or just about anything that reflects poorly on us. Here's the problem - our struggles take a toll when unshared or unprocessed over time. They turn into secrets that we carry around. No one knows about them - fears, challenges, and needs that are secret go unmet because potential people and sources of help remain in the dark. Every day of a secret life that passess walls between us and help, between truth and lies, and between us and people grow taller and harder to breakdown. Into this secret life comes the call of Christ. He says, "Come to me." Jesus wants to unburden us from the anxiety of having a public/private split, living a seen life of images and a private life of unseen struggle. He wants to end our isolation. But He knows we will not come unless we are convinced of one thing to the core of our being - His love. Our connection and conversation with God will never surpass our awareness of the love of God. For God's man this is the difference between spiritual life and spiritual death.
- 171Come To Me Part 1 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyWhen people we love have a huge need or problem that went unspoken and unresolved causing them pain or harm we say, "Why didn't you come to me?" Usually the responses range from "I didn't want to burden you" to "I was embarrassed" to "I didn't think you would understand." None of these reasons makes sense because the outcome of not expressing or sharing what's going on at the time is always worse than talking about it - this is especially true when real help was available. Fear or pride always limit needed help and relief coming into our lives. Jesus knew this about us and positioned himself forever as someone in our lives who we never need to hide our problems, needs, or concerns from. In fact, he made us a standing invitation to take advantage of his care and capacity saying "Come to me." He was serious about that but are we? And what is the price we pay as a man of God when we let pride and self sufficiency limit healthy and humble dependency upon God in prayer? God says conversation with Him is a necessity for a healthy relationship. How's that conversation going?
- 172New Year // New Man with Keith PeelerNew Year // New Man Scriptures talk a lot about being new in Christ. New man. New mind. New spirit. New life. The most challenging part of the "new man" is the journey of intimacy and honesty. We just don’t know how to do it naturally. Today we will explore the reality of being a real man that can talk about real things. Intimacy with others, spouses, and God.

- 174Whatever The Weather Part 2 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyAny dad with small kids knows that his little ones are not going to understand his behavior at times. Key word? Little. They are physically not as tall as the one whose hand they are holding and, as such, can't see what he is seeing at any given time. A dad will see danger twenty yards away his "little one" cannot and gives instructions to "STOP!" A dad will be holding his toddler's hand walking in a large crowd, guiding him based on what he sees in front of him - not the other way around. A dad sees ahead of his child visually and guides accordingly. The Bible says we are like the "little one" and God is the Dad who sees what we cannot see. And just like a child gets frustrated at times by that reality, a dad's control, and his own inability to see what's ahead - a loving dad will never stop seeing what He sees and make the adjustments he needs to protect and guide his child. Right now, God is seeing ahead of what you can see God is guiding you accordingly. The question is: will we trust Him or will we get frustrated? Or worse, will we break away in ignorance and suffer the consequences? Join men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck for this powerful session on trusting God WHATEVER THE WEATHER.
- 175Whatever The Weather Part 1 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyEver heard the expression "fair weather fan"? It describes someone who will passionately follow a sports team but only when they are winning. One minute they are all in, high-fiving, jersey wearing, evangelists for their team. Then the season's "weather changes." Winning ways are replaced by the "struggle bus" and everyone connected to the team is on it. Discontentment and dissatisfaction sets in and separation is the result. Faithful "die hard" fans separate from the "fair weather" fans. One loyally stays on the bus. The other gets off and puts his jersey away. Did you know God has "fairweather" fans? These are men who are content and satisfied with God until their circumstances change and don't match their expectations. Things happen that were not a part of their plan. Gratitude is replaced by ingratitude. Contentment is replaced by discontentment. They have forgotten that God's character and attitude toward them does not fluctuate according to their circumstances. Find a man who has learned to be content and grateful "whatever the circumstances" and I will show you a man who truly knows God and expereinces joy "whatever" the weather.

- 177Real Courage Part 2 with Jason Park – Audio OnlyA police officer typically starts their shift with a briefing or roll call. It is designed to take roll, pass along critical information, and provide relevant training. Motivated officers hurry out of briefing and quickly advise dispatch they are "10-8", which is the radio code for "in service". The lazier officers hang around the station, trying to delay the time before going 10-8. You see, once you go 10-8, "in service", you have to serve. That can be very risky and a total inconvenience, especially when I only want to serve myself. Briefing is the place you talk about the doing. Going "in service" is where you DO! James 1:21-23 says briefing is for "hearing God's word". Going 10-8 is for doing God's word. Sure, we must show up for briefing and discuss God's word and application, but too many of us don't get to that critical next step. We don't DO. In that same passage in James says the one is listening and not doing, "has no idea who they are or what they look like" (Message translation). Lets stop talking about doing, and LET'S DO IT!
- 178Real Courage Part 1 with Jason ParkWe live in a world where we are surrounded by people in need. Just about everyone you come in contact with today needs something. Some of those needs are obvious, but others we are AFRAID to ask. We are AFRAID to ask, "how can I help." I am sure I don't have what they need, and if I do, I don't want to give it away. So, I carefully manage my interactions. I protect myself from entering that space with people where I might intentionally or accidentally identity a need. I don't make eye contact and get in and out of the situation with the least time and energy wasted. Even better, I use an app. I click a few buttons, step carefully through the door, grab my coffee and quickly retreat. I could use curb-side services, but then I have to interact with a human. I don't need that kind of pressure. If I am careful, I won't see a need because I AM AFRAID.

- 180Love Strong Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyFACT: Sacrifice cements friendships. Risk nothing in your relationships, receive nothing from them. It’s easier to play it safe versus go deep. It’s easier to do activities together than to practice transparency. It’s easier to be a fan of someone else than a true friend. It’s easier to laugh off mistakes than to address them. LOVING STRONG involves risking strong in any relationship. Courage and faith are required. NO risks, NO reward. Learn to take the right risks in your relationships and LOVE STRONG in this powerful session with men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck.
- 181Love Strong Part 3 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyThe famous mathematician/philosopher Pascal once said, "There are two kinds of men: the righteous who think they are sinners and the sinners who think they are righteous." His point? The two different kinds of thinking lead to two different lives and sets of relationships with others. One man can connect with everybody. The other selectively connects with people like him. One man avoids certain kinds of people. The other engages those same people. One steers clear. The other draws near. One loves. The other is pseudo-religious. Why make the distinction? Because Jesus was more like one and NOT like the other. When it came to loving people in his context, Jesus has only one filter - an honest need. When he found this in someone he would "jump in the the boat" and make it to that person's shore whatever the winds or waves he had to face culturally. Jesus was dangerously attractive, inviting, and controversial. Why? Because he didn't only love those close to him or like him well, he loved perfect strangers, unacceptables, and undesirables well and broke the rules of his culture to do it. Will the men who claim to follow him today be known the same way? Join men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck for this culturally relevant and challenging session in Part 3 of LOVE STRONG.
- 182Love Strong Part 2 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyIt's called a "game changer." It is an event, idea, or experience that rocks your world in a positive (or negative) way to the point where you permanently shift the way you go about doing or thinking about something. Think about it. You discover a new power tool that transforms a potential five hour project into a one hour breeze. There is no way you are going back to the old way of doing it. It is "game changer." You discover a new digital technology that eliminates bulky hard equipment, storage needs, and paper processes. Same. It is unthinkable that you would go back to the old way. More personally, maybe you experienced a trauma, loss, or pain so strong that it permanently changed the way you on an emotional level and how you go about life and relationships. It reshaped you. The common denominator? You are permanently different after the experience. The Bible declares that your experience with God's love is intended to be the single most powerful game changer in your life. In fact, understood and applied personally, it is intended to permanently shift the way you go about ALL your relationships. You become a man who LOVES STRONG and people see that the game has changed for you. Do they see that? Join men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck for this powerful session on how God's presence in your life is game-changing for your relationships.’’
- 183Love Strong Part 1 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyEvery man knows that if he is not doing relationships right, he is not doing life right. Think about it. If marriage, family, or close relationships that MATTER to you are not good ...you are not good! In fact, we get frustrated with ourselves, mad at ourselves, and then sad over repeated relationship mistakes. Been there? To boot, piling on and tempting us in these moments is the Devil who hates healthy relationships that glorify God and amplify his blessing. In fact, he wants you to be WEAK at loving relationships and STRONG at blaming others or making excuses for yourself. Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for his friends." In other words, LOVE STRONG! Join men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck for this powerful experience that will transform your relationships with the people God wants you to love.

- 185Turning The Tables Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyHuman beings are a complex ball of unfulfilled needs, wants, desires, longings and hopes. Magnifying our dilemmas is the fact that life, others, bosses, spouses, friends, or unplanned circumstances get in the way (how dare they) of us seeing all those needs, wants, desires, longings and hopes being met or realized. What to do - what to do! Do the ends justify the means? Do we want things bad enough to deceive ourselves or others with twisted logic that gets us the result we want but at the expense of the truth? How far is too far? A little lying, a little cheating, a little stealing doesn't hurt anybody right? We tell ourselves: "We work hard. We deserve it. Go for it." Or maybe we go darker and say to ourselves: "Others have hurt us which makes what we are about to do ok." Ever lied to yourself so that you can do what you want to do? If you answered "yes" this session is for you and for every man who wants to be like Jesus or a man of truth because to become one you must be able to turn the tables on lying to self, to God, and to others. This the root of all spiritual warfare - believing truth or believing lies. Are you winning the fight?

- 187Turning the Tables Part 2 Live with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyMen love the idea of "iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another" but when the sharpening stone is pressed against their personal behavior the real battle begins. Men love competition but they do not like confrontation. No man likes to be told that the way they are believing and behaving is wrong and yet every man, the Bible says, requires loving confrontation. A buddy who is married is clearly flirting with another woman. What do you do? You notice a brother in Christ crossing the line with his drinking into drunkenness. Do you say anything? The banter among the boys goes from funny because something is truly funny to gross or inappropriate funny. Do you keep laughing? No man wants to be a nitpicker or the moral police but the Bible is clear - confrontation plays an important role in the fellowship of believing men - it seeks what is best for the one being confronted. And to be sure, it will not feel like a kindness in the moment but it is one of the most loving things we can do for each other in the company of men. It is not judging, it is helping a man so that he will not be further hurt by his own behavior. Huge difference but a step that requires huge faith and courage in God. You are strategically placed in the lives of other men to both be sharpened and to sharpen - sometimes through confrontation. And when God says, "If not you right now, then who?" What will you do?
