When You're Born, You Look Like Your Parents. When You Die, You Look Like Your Decisions.

from Built. Not Felt. · host Shannon Ferro

You did not choose the face you were born with. You are choosing the man you will die as. Every single day.You have a picture of yourself in your head. The man you are. The man you are becoming. A good father. A man of faith. A builder. A man whose word means something.And then there are the decisions.The private ones. The small ones. The ones made on autopilot before you are fully awake. The ones nobody sees. The ones you stopped examining because they stopped feeling like decisions.Those decisions are building a man. The question is whether that man matches the picture in your head.In Episode 60 of Built, Not Felt, Shannon names the most uncomfortable gap in a man's life — the distance between who he says he is and what his daily decisions are actually constructing. And what it costs to keep looking away from it.What you'll walk away with:— Why the man at the end is always a picture of the decisions in the middle — not the intentions— What Galatians 6 means when it says do not be deceived — and why that warning is for you right now— How to audit the decisions you have been making on autopilot and what they are quietly building— The one question to ask before every decision that reorients everything— How to start closing the gap today — not with an overhaul, with one decision made differentlyRooted in Scripture (Galatians 6:7-8 · Proverbs 4:23 · Romans 12:2 · Luke 6:43-44 · Deuteronomy 30:19 · 1 Corinthians 15:33) and built for the man who knows there is a gap between who he says he is and what he is actually doing — and has been looking away from it long enough.When you die, you look like your decisions. Make them count.🎧 New episodes of Built, Not Felt drop every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Subscribe so you never miss one.Built, Not Felt is a production of The Rise Code.
