Leadership Formation For Christian Men

What is love?  For starters, it’s a verb.  It's shown through actions that have the other persons best interests in mind.  Oftentimes, people will get love mixed up with lust, which can be used to control and manipulate. The Greeks believe love to be so complex that they have 6 different types.  Join us as we dissect each one and their importance in our relationships.  At the end of the day, the p...

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘safe’? We think about the invention of so-called “safe spaces”.  It’s the idea that in a specific place you can be safe to be completely vulnerable.  Some schools, businesses, and workplaces have implemented these safe spaces.  But, are they really safe? We live in a society where everyone is encouraged to share their story.  We teach this idea of being...

It’s been a week since Tim and Jamie started The Marriage Journal, and they have some thoughts on it.  While they do agree that it works for both newlyweds and couples that have been together for a long time, Jamie warns that it does have a spiritual aspect to it that you have to be ready for.  After you make a marriage mission statement and draft some goals, the book leads you into a weekly exerc...

Today we are going back to the future.  While doing their daily reading in Wake Up to the Word: 365 Devotions to Inspire You Each Day, the word of the day was ‘future’.  This got Tim and Jamie thinking about the past, present, and future.  The self-help movement is big on digging deep into past traumas, which leaves people feeling depressed.  On the other end of the spectrum, people are living anx...

Too often, people’s motives for doing a good deed is to simply gain recognition and praise.  The Bible tells us if you do it for those reasons, it’s like you didn’t do it at all.  The same goes for studying the Bible or having devotionals.  Tim and Jamie know that it’s inevitable that these activities will inspire them, but they don’t ever want to fall into the trap of doing those things simply to...

The self-help/self-care movement has really stolen the spotlight over the last 20 years or so, but what does the Bible tell us about this topic?  You can’t go on social media without seeing an ad for some self-proclaimed guru that promises to help you discover your best self.  Their methods usually revolve around focusing on yourself and what makes you happy.  The Bible tells us that whoever finds...

The God Centered Man Show is now Real Connections.  In this rebranding, Tim welcomes his wife Jamie as a co-host and looks forward to a more well-rounded conversation.  Tim assures listeners that if you liked the previous content, you’ll want to stick around because it’s only getting better. Growing up in the Mormon church, Jamie had it engrained in her that to have a connection with God, you had...

Good gifts come from above. Don't err or be misled into thinking that bad gifts come from above. Belief that God is the source of your pain. Good – beneficial, wellness, useful There is none of this with God… Variables – able or apt to vary : subject to variation or changes. Fickleness – marked by lack of steadfastness, constancy, or stability : given to erratic changeableness. Transmutation – a s...

G4105   (Strong). Deceive πλανάω planaō plan-ah'-o From G4106; to (properly cause to) roam (from safety, truth, or virtue): - go astray, deceive, err, seduce, wander, be out of the way. Total KJV occurrences: 39 Jer 9:6 You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me,” declares the LORD. Ps 101:7 No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house; no one who spe...

Mat 23:2  Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: Mat 23:3  All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. Mat 23:4  For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. Mat 23:5  But all their works th...

In Paul’s letter to the Galatians, he wrote, “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel.” Grace is the exact opposite from religion. Grace is the unmerited and unearned favor of God obtained by Christ. On the other hand, religion says that His favor must be merited, earned, and deserved. The promise of religion is the favor of God, b...

The foundation of Christianity is “He gave Himself”. The fuel for religion is you give yourself if you want the acceptance of God. Christ gave Himself for the purpose and intention to deliver us. Religion on the other does not give, it only enslaves. Jesus Christ brings freedom from the law (religion) and this present evil world. The Strong’s dictionary says “deliver,” means to tear out, let go, r...

If religion depends upon the inner strength of man then all religion is a form of humanism. Humanism is mankind proclaiming they have what it takes to fully obey. This brings us to the place of trusting in our own abilities, which leads us away from the life of faith; religion places us as the source of our life. The Father is the source of grace and peace but religion is the source wrath and enmi...

“The law” (Jews religion) began the Day the Jewish nation said “I will” to God. It is recorded in the book of Exodus that when God gave the terms of the covenant, the Jewish nation became married to Jehovah. They proclaimed that everything that God had spoken they would do, and decided that day they would measure up to the agreement. What they failed to recognize, was that they did not have the ab...

To inquire about coaching email-godcenteredmensrecovery@gmail.comPeace with God is the cornerstone of Christianity. Paul wrote, “Christ made peace through the blood of His cross.” The reason we can have a harmonious relationship with God is because of what Christ accomplished on the cross. The word peace means, “to join,” this means, we now can join God and be connected to Him. A relationship with...

The reason our Christianity is weak is that it lacks the required ingredients. The Christian life simply does not look or taste right without grace and peace. I love salsa and I like it hot, but I never get the flavor right the first time, because the peppers are always different. So I must repeat the taste test until it reaches my desired flavor. I believe God loves His people, but He likes them...

Grace is not merely mercy during times of failure. Grace is the empowering love of Christ, giving us the ability not to sin if we don’t want to. Grace is empowerment, not just forgiveness. In Paul’s letter to the Galatians, he wrote, “Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ.” Grace and peace are the two ingredients for a healthy Christian life. It’s easy to re...
