About this episode

As 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.

  1. 1Identity Crisis Part 6 with Dusty Davis – Audio OnlyWhether or not you know it, we are at war. All day and everyday there are dark forces doing battle with the Kingdom of the Living God. The question is not whether or not you are in the battle, it’s are you winning? And if we are to win, where does this power come from? Join us for the conclusion of Ephesians for Everyman.
  2. 2Identity Crisis Part 5 with Dusty Davis – Audio OnlyI remember when my kids were little, they were constantly imitating me. Sometimes they were being cute, other times they were being sassy. I loved it either way. A father loves to see his actions, his heart and his values on display in his kids. The same is true of you and I. Our father loves to see us live as “imitators of God, in everything we do”. How can God’s man live out a calling so large? Join us for week Five of Ephesians for Everyman to find out how.
  3. 3Identity Crisis Part 4 with Dusty Davis – Audio OnlyWe don’t live our faith out in a vacuum. There is no such thing as a Lone Ranger, or Marlboro Man in the family of Christ. We need one another. Period. So, is our role simply to police and discipline one another? No. God’s man needs men to call him up, not simply call him out. Join us for week four of Ephesians for Everyman, where we seek to live in real and authentic community as we follow Jesus.
  4. 4Identity Crisis Part 3 with Dusty Davis – Audio OnlyWe have been saved. Rescued. Brought back to life. But for what? What were we saved to? To amass things? To obtain power, possessions or new and higher positions? No! We exist to make sure Heaven is a crowded place. How do we move from seeing the sharing of the Gospel as a burden and a chore, into the truth that it is a beautiful privilege? Join us for week three of Ephesians for Everyman.
  5. 5Identity Crisis Part 2 with Dusty Davis – Audio OnlyWe once were dead. Not sick and in need of a few vitamins or some r & r…we were dead. Period. It was then….at our most vulnerable and hopeless, that Christ stepped in and brought us back to life. But what does it look like to walk this new life out, in the spaces and places God has placed us? Join us for week two of Ephesians for Everyman.
  6. 6Ephesians for Everyman: Identity Crisis Part 1 with Dusty DavisEphesians for Everyman is a 6 week adventure where we will seek to lay aside our Identity Issues by trusting God’s word to tell us who we are as His men. Who are you? Such a simple question, and yet so much rides on the answer. How do we find out exactly who it is that we are? How do we live out the reality that identity informs activity? Well, if we know who we are, then we’ll know what to do. Join us for week one of Ephesians for Everyman.

  9. 9Fully Defined Part 3 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyRelationships on earth define our life on earth. As a follower of Jesus, this relationship completely shapes every dimension of life by mirroring what he experienced. Jesus lived a life on earth, he died a death on earth , and came alive again to God's purposes here on earth. Are you ready to come alive to God's purposes?
  10. 10Fully Defined Part 2 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyEvery man has his ways. In fact, our patterns of thinking and living, believing and behaving can be so consistently manifested that we can use it as an excuse for not changing. "I am the way I am," is the defense. The problem is that the people or circumstances connected to our lives might not be as forgiving as the fear and the pride inside of us make their case in our brains. Just think about how many problems have been created, how many partnerships have blown up, and how many relationships have been destroyed because of a fear that created an unwillingness to risk change. God says, that mindset and approach does not work for him. In fact, Jesus declares that in order for you to experience the most out of your relationship with him - someone has to die. Specifically, the man you feel you need to be needs to go - the one which prevents the man God is calling you to be from becoming a reality.
  11. 11Fully Defined Part 1 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyA defining moment is a point in your life when you're urged to make a pivotal decision, or when you experience something that fundamentally changes you. Not only do these moments define us, but they have a transformative effect on our perceptions and behaviors. This is God’s intention when you decide to cross the line into a relationship with Christ. In fact, a supernatural process begins and it is God’s intention that your decision and this relationship FULLY DEFINE you personally for the rest of your life. Join men’s expert and pastor Kenny Luck as we explore the 5 powerful ways a relationship with Christ is intended to fully define your life right now.
  12. 12Push & Pull Part 5 with Kenny Luck – Audio OnlyHas someone ever asked you to do something and you didn't feel like doing it? Your first thought is "Now? Why now?" You have things to do. You have plans right now. You have needs that will go unmet if you say yes. All valid but because of who is asking you do what is requested, you don't voice any of those reasons saying "no" and you fulfill the request of the "asker." How about when God asks? How do you respond? Is it okay to struggle with the request? What puts God's man over the top? What should be your guiding motivation to do what he wants to do versus what you want to do at any given moment? In this last session of PUSH and PULL men's expert and Pastor Kenny Luck teams with Dusty Davis to finish this powerful series by addressing the personal spiritual dynamics of motivation and personal responses to God when he speaks into our lives a direction or request. Will it be "I have to do this?" Or, will it be "I want to do this!"? Your response matters but your motivation matters more to God.47 min
