  • Calming Your Inner Storm

    Calming Your Inner Storm
    Jun 26 2024
    In a well known passage from the gospel of Mark, we learn about a time that Jesus was crossing the Sea of Galilee with his disciples and a storm broke out. Jesus awoke from his slumber to calm the storm. Today Chris discusses what we can take from this as men who are recovering from divorce.

    Bible Passage Inspiration: Mk 4:35-41 “On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” And leaving the crowd, they took him with them, just as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him. And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care if we perish?” And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?” And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?”

  • Man on Purpose Part Two

    Man on Purpose Part Two
    Jun 12 2024
    PART TWO OF INTERVIEW

    What does it mean to be a man on purpose? What does it mean to us, as men, when the Bible says we are a priest, profit, and king? How have women changed over the years and what does that mean for our role as men? Today we welcome Dave Johnson, author, former pastor, and corrections officer, who will share his years of wisdom and personal experience with us.


    Bible Passage Inspiration: 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and God of all encouragement, who encourages us in our every affliction, so that we may be able to encourage those who are in any affliction with the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged by God.”

    PART TWO of EPISODE

    If you are listening to this podcast you are well aware that divorce is one of the most painful and stressful events that a person can go through. But what are we doing with that pain? Are we sitting in a dark room alone? Are we numbing it with drugs, alcohol, or bad behavior? Or are we transforming that pain into something bigger? Are we letting God do his work within the pain? Today Dale and Chris discuss how to not waste your pain.

    Bible Passage Inspiration: 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and God of all encouragement, who encourages us in our every affliction, so that we may be able to encourage those who are in any affliction with the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged by God.”
