Refusing the Drift

from Men's Morning Devotional · host Metro Life Church

Are you finding yourself just coasting through life? If so, you're in more danger than you realize. Thing is, complacency never announces itself as danger. It just feels comfortable - until it's too late. Most men think the greatest threat to their spiritual lives is outright rebellion, but they're mistaken. In this episode, Steve Alessi names the two things that quietly destroy a man. The first is obvious: knowing what's right and choosing your own way anyway. The second is far more subtle. Listen today to find out how you can become a man who sleeps differently, leads differently, loves differently, and faces an uncertain future differently — because his confidence isn't in himself, but in the One who never changes.Verse of The Day:  Proverbs 1:32-33 Your Daily Man-Up Challenge Ask one honest question: Where have I become complacent — my walk with God, my marriage, my health, my leadership, my parenting, my integrity? Choose one area where you've been coasting and start rowing again. Then make this commitment: I'm not just going to hear God's Word this week — I'm going to live it, and better yet, I'm going to be it.Tap HERE to send us a text!NEW TO THE MEN’S MORNING DEVOTIONAL? Welcome!The Men's Morning Devotional is a podcast to help you man up in every way - in your faith, your family and your work - by spending a few minutes getting into the Word before you face the world. Every weekday, you'll get a challenge and encouragement from Scripture that speaks to the pressures you carry as a husband, a father, and a leader.
