323. God Wants To Develop You, But You Have To Let Him

from The Impossible Life · host Nick Surface & Garrett Unclebach

What if the frustration, uncertainty, waiting, and resistance in your life are not proof that God forgot you, but evidence that He is developing you? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach challenge Christian men to stop trying to hack their way into purpose and start trusting the process God is using to form them. Garrett compares it to Navy SEAL training: SEALs do not show up to become something they are not. They show up to be trained into what they were already assigned to become. In the same way, God has a plan for your life, and real faith means believing that plan is not just true in general, but true for you.Nick and Garrett unpack what it looks like to let God develop you instead of trying to build your own staircase. Too many men want the promotion, platform, title, opportunity, or breakthrough without becoming the kind of man who can carry it. But God is not just interested in where you are going; He is interested in who you are becoming. Through Scripture, they show that Christian growth requires both God’s power and your effort. Faith is not passive. It is taking God at His word, acting accordingly, and making every effort to add goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, affection, and love to your life.This episode gives men three mentalities for the development process: consider it joy, praise God at all times, and play your part. That means learning to see suffering as training, worshiping Jesus for who He is even when life is hard, and caring more about God’s mission than your own reputation. This is where masculinity, humility, strength, and faith come together. If you want to live with purpose, stop asking God to bless your plan and start asking what He wants. When a man becomes submitted and determined, strong and humble, powerful and warm, he becomes the kind of man God can trust, develop, and use.Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereGet a Free 7 Day Trial On The Tailored Training App By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereLevel up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - [email protected]
