Making Men | Christian Podcast

Being grounded is SO important.Jesus modeled this for us when he would go to be alone with his thoughts and in prayer in the wilderness. Whenever he was overstimulated, emotional or preparing for a big sermon, he would retreat to a safe and quiet place away from the noise to pray.We were also given the sabbath and commanded to keep it set apart for rest and renewal of our minds, bodies and souls. This is the fourth commandment.Reseting, resetting and rejuvenating are hardwired into us. And there is research to show that what both God the father and Jesus modeled are imperative to our recovery and sanity. (Green exercise, NRF2 pathway activation, fighting inflammation).

Ilia Malinin was going for gold - and he had it in the palm of his hands. 1st place on the leaderboard, and had been in the spotlight as the best figure skater in the world for the past year.But he fumbled the ball - landing in 8th place when all was said and done. Why? Today we'll walk through performance pressure, and where we find our worth an value, and how God tells us in the bible that our worth comes not from what we do, but from who God has made us to be and how much he loves us.We know from the bible that even our best works are as filthy rags - they mean nothing, and can never secure us any performance points or "grace" to get us into heaven.We DO know that God has so loved us that while we were still his enemies - Children of Satan and against Him, he died for us on that rugged cross.Bare spine and hip bones from being whipped, beaten for so many hours that the soldiers couldn't physical go on, and then made to drag his cross from where he was beaten up the hill to the place of his death outside Jerusalem. He was hung from the wooden cross six feet in the air by nothing more than three nails in his wrists, and through both of his feet. He hung there naked as soldiers cast lots for his clothes. A crown woven from thorny vines was pressed into his scalp to mock him, and when he was thirsty he was given vinegar before his final breath. All for you.That is where our worth comes from; how we know we are truly and deeply loved. And I am sorry Lord for the times I forget this during my busy, hectic days.Enjoy this episode,Isaiah

In this episode of Making Men, Isaiah introduces a powerful verse from the book of Isaiah, reflecting on its relevance to contemporary young men. Having recently studied the book of Isaiah and the chronologically preceding prophetic books, Isaiah shares contextual insights gained from his study.  Today’s focus is on Isaiah 41:10, a verse cherished by Isaiah for its profound impact on his life. The verse reassures believers that God's presence provides strength, assistance, and support in times of fear and uncertainty. Through personal anecdotes and biblical exegesis, Isaiah unpacks the significance of trusting in God's promises amidst life's challenges. The episode emphasizes the timeless relevance of scripture in guiding and empowering young men today. I can’t wait for you guys to hear this one. This is a verse that my grandmother taught me when I was young, and something creating this episode really hit different. Enjoy and subscribe for more biblical self improvement content, - Isaiah
