God. Loves. Goals.

Christianity has some small thinkers who want to tell you that you shouldn’t pursue your dream, think big, and set some ambitious goals.

Today's episode will set you FREE to run after a new vision and see some things Jesus said in a new light. We are going to look at the words of Jesus in Matthew 18 when the disciples are arguing over who will be the greatest in the kingdom of God. To fully unlock this passage, we must pay attention to what Jesus does NOT say.

Practical wisdom

To fully run after your goals, you need to ensure you are getting adequate sleep. One of the major obstructions to getting a good night's sleep is the amount of screen time we are all exposed to. Blue light is a killer of deep sleep. My family and I have been using Bon Charge Blue light Blocking glasses for a few years.

Dr. Brown paints a vivid picture of biblical masculinity, guiding us away from misunderstandings and providing the true identity of men who follow Jesus.
