God blesses his most retarded soldiers
from The Forge with Tomas Mones-Cazon · host The Forge with Tomas Mones-Cazon
Retardmaxxing might be the most theologically accurate description of how God expects you to live.There's a reason Christ said you have to become like a child to enter the kingdom of heaven. Not because thinking is bad, but because most of what we call discernment is actually just fear with a spiritual costume on. You already know what you need to do. You're just not doing it.This video makes the case that the overthinking, the optimizing, the endless reading without fruit, the "I'm still discerning my vocation" at 25 with no prayer life and no discipline, all of it is a trap. David didn't deliberate in front of Goliath. Paul didn't set up a five-year plan after Damascus. Peter stepped out of the boat.The Church has answers for every level of inquiry. But the baseline is simple: get baptized, receive the sacraments, say your prayers, go to Mass, and start doing the work. Everything else builds on that. And if your faith isn't producing fruit, virtue, charity, discipline, growth, it doesn't matter how many books you've read.Retardmaxxing is trust in divine providence, obedience to your spiritual father, and the humility to act on what you already know is true.Are you seeking a community of like-minded men who hold the same standard you're trying to hold?The Legion is a brotherhood of Christian men built around real accountability, weekly coaching, and a network of men who are actually doing the work. If you're done doing this alone, the door is open.https://fitforthekingdom.com.au/the-legionMy work:https://linktr.ee/tomas.monesFit for the Kingdom (FFTK):http://fitforthekingdom.com.au/#retardmaxxing #catholic #christian #discipline #retard0:00 Retard Maxing Plus Christ0:48 The Business Case for Just Starting1:37 Childlike Faith and the Sacraments2:31 Faith Without Works Is Dead3:10 Biblical Heroes Who Just Acted3:55 We Already Know What We Need to Do4:24 Scrupulosity Obedience and Simple Prayer5:33 Stop Overthinking Your Vocation7:04 Trust in Divine Providence8:08 Start Retardmaxxing Today
