You're Good, But Not Virtuous (Here's Why That Matters): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJNqzd0dNvc&list=PLNiMDAMs3mP4hu5KJE9rnUm7h7kLLOVPk&index=8&t=476sGuide on Defeating Lust: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akbNH_4xUt0&list=PLNiMDAMs3mP4hu5KJE9rnUm7h7kLLOVPk&index=4We are all prodigal sons. Every single one of us. The fall is not the end of the story, but how you respond to it determines everything.Most men fall, feel shame, and spiral. The shame turns into despair. The despair turns into apathy. And before long, Satan hasn't just wounded you, he's actually winning. The scariest part is that this cycle doesn't require a catastrophic fall. It can start with one bad morning that writes off the rest of the day. One moment of weakness that becomes an excuse to flatline for a week. That's where the real damage is done, not in the fall itself, but in what you do with the next hour after it.This video breaks down the framework for getting back up after a fall, breaking the cycle of despair, and using every setback to actually rise higher than you were before. A saint is not someone who never falls, but who rises again every time with greater love for God. That's the standard. That's what we're working toward.In this video I cover:-why guilt and remorse are actually a good sign-the cycle of despair and how Satan uses your fall against you-the difference between falling and staying down-how to snap yourself out of it immediately after a fall-building an identity and battle plan to return to when you've failed-why not making the same mistake twice is the real measure of your remorse-the debrief process that turns falls into ascent toward virtueMy work:https://linktr.ee/tomas.monesFit for the Kingdom (FFTK):http://fitforthekingdom.com.au/#virtue #repentance #catholic #masculinity #spiritual
