Is your faith on offense… or defense?Too many Christians live passively — reacting to the world instead of advancing the Kingdom.In this episode of The Building & Becoming Show, Jim Motz explains what he calls Offensive Christianity — using the Word of God as a weapon against fear, temptation, and spiritual attack.Most believers own a Bible.Very few know how to use it.Jim shares the exact 7-week system he used with the Building & Becoming community to memorize scripture and turn the Word of God into a real weapon in spiritual battle.If you want stronger faith…more discipline…and a mindset that attacks life instead of hiding from it…The 7 Scriptures We Used1️⃣ 2 Timothy 1:72️⃣ Philippians 4:133️⃣ Joshua 1:94️⃣ 1 Peter 5:85️⃣ James 2:176️⃣ Hebrews 12:117️⃣ 1 Corinthians 6:19–20Memorize them.Weaponize them.Use them.⚔️ JOIN THE BUILDING & BECOMING COMMUNITYJoin the FREE Skool Community👉 https://www.skool.com/building-and-becoming-3294/about🧠 APPLY FOR DEEPWATER (Private Coaching)90-Day Elite Mentorship for High-Performing MenApply Here:👉 https://calendly.com/jimmotz/schedule-your-call-with-jim💥 WHAT WE BELIEVEFaith first.Discipline daily.Strength for life.We build faith in Christand become strong, fit, capable leaders.CHECK out the new website... jimmotz.com

Welcome back to the Building & Becoming Podcast.In this episode we do something most people with platforms avoid…We lean into criticism. I pulled three emails from listeners who think my message is:• Too harsh• Too aggressive• Harmful to the churchThey challenged my beliefs about discipline, masculinity, strength, and Christianity.So today I respond.We talk about:• Is Christianity supposed to make people strong?• Why modern churches avoid discipline• The difference between grace and complacency• Why men becoming weak is hurting families and churches• What the Bible actually says about the body• Why followers of Christ should be dangerous to darknessScripture says:“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”Transformation means your life changes.Your standards change.Your habits change.Your discipline changes.This episode will challenge you.But that’s the point.If we’re going to follow Christ, we’re not called to comfort.We’re called to discipleship.⚔️ Join The Building & Becoming CommunityFree to enter.

Most Christians say:"God only cares about your heart."But is that actually what the Bible teaches?In this episode of the Building & Becoming Show, Jim Motz confronts one of the most common lies in modern Christianity — the belief that physical discipline, health, and strength don’t matter to God.If your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit…then how you live, train, eat, and discipline your life actually matters.This episode breaks down:• The Scripture people misuse to justify laziness• Why the Bible actually calls us to discipline• Why weak Christianity produces weak men• Why your physical life impacts your spiritual mission• And why followers of Christ should be dangerous to darknessJim also explains the philosophy behind DEEPWATER, his private mentorship designed to produce physical, spiritual, and mental transformation in 90 days.The world doesn’t need more passive Christians.It needs strong men and women who decide to win anyway.APPLY FOR DEEPWATER (90-Day Transformation)Schedule your assessment call with Jim:👉 https://calendly.com/jimmotz/schedule-your-call-with-jimOnly 10 mentorship spots are available at a time.If you’re ready to become stronger physically, spiritually, and mentally, apply for DEEPWATER.JOIN THE FREE BUILDING & BECOMING COMMUNITYStart here (FREE):👉 https://www.skool.com/building-and-becoming-3294/aboutInside the community you’ll find:• Daily devotionals• Faith & fitness training• Discipline challenges• Leadership coachingWATCH MORE EPISODESBuilding & Becoming Show:👉 https://www.youtube.com/@BuildingandBecoming-7CHAPTERS 👇0:00 The Lie Christians Believe1:30 “God Only Cares About Your Heart”4:10 Your Body Is A Temple7:20 Discipline Is Biblical10:30 Comfort Is The Real Idol14:00 I Would Die For My Kids… But18:10 Weak Christianity vs Warrior Christianity22:00 The Mirror Test26:30 What Building & Becoming Is30:00 The DEEPWATER Transformation36:00 Stop Living Like A Victim40:00 Final Challenge

Most people don’t want to hear this — but it needs to be said.In this solo episode of The Building & Becoming Show, Jim Motz delivers one of his most challenging conversations yet.This episode isn’t about condemnation.It’s about calling people up.We talk about why personal excellence is not optional for followers of Jesus Christ — and why discipline, fitness, and stewardship of the body directly impact how effectively someone walks out their calling.If you’ve ever wondered why faith feels powerless…Why conviction lacks weight…Why the message doesn’t seem to land…This conversation explains why.Inside this episode👇Why faith without discipline lacks credibilityHow neglecting the body limits spiritual effectivenessWhy personal excellence is the ultimate rebellion in today’s worldHow distraction, addiction, and comfort keep people stuckWhat it actually means to live set apartWhy transformation requires action, not just beliefThis is about more than looking good.It’s about being strong, capable, effective, and useful.“Do not be conformed to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” — Romans 12:1–2Every one of us is either conforming… or transforming.If you’re ready to stop negotiating with mediocrity and start walking in biblical excellence, this episode is for you.👇 JOIN THE FREE BUILDING & BECOMING COMMUNITYhttps://www.skool.com/building-and-becoming-3294/about🌐 Website & Resources👉 jimmotz.com📲 Connect with JimInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/realjimmotz/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553516815572

In this episode of the Building & Becoming Show, I explain why Allie and I made one of the biggest decisions we’ve ever made — moving our discipleship community to a FREEMUIM model.This wasn’t a marketing decision.It was a heart decision.Too many people told us the same thing:“I want to grow spiritually, but I’m overwhelmed.”“I want real community, but I can’t afford another program.”“I don’t want hype — I want discipleship.”So we removed the barrier.Jesus never made people prove themselves before inviting them to walk with Him.He simply said: “Come. Follow Me.”That’s what we’re doing now.⚔️ WHAT YOU GET (FREE)👇✅ Real community (not bots)✅ Daily devotionals — 365 days a year✅ Prayer + encouragement✅ Foundational discipleship✅ Access with zero credit card requiredNo pressure.No upsells.No manipulation.Belonging comes before becoming.🌊 FOR THOSE READY TO GO DEEPERWe still offer:🛡️Premium discipleship (live Zooms, classroom access, coaching)🌊VIP DeepWater (elite training, nutrition, macros, accountability)Different seasons require different levels of support.But the front door is open to everyone.🔗 IMPORTANT LINKS (ENTER HERE)👇👉 JOIN BUILDING & BECOMING (FREE):https://www.skool.com/building-and-becoming-3294/about?ref=a9c3594b155146838db7c76e3b184c89🌐 Website:jimmotz.com📅 1-on-1 Call (Premium / DeepWater):https://calendly.com/jimmotz/schedule-your-call-with-jim📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/realjimmotz/🚨 CALL TO ACTIONIf you don’t want to do life alone anymore…Click the link.

Aging is inevitable.

Most people aren’t really living — they’re just moving through life.In this episode of The Building & Becoming Show, I ask one question that cuts straight through distraction, comfort, and spiritual autopilot:If today was your last day… would you be proud of how you lived?This conversation was sparked by a real moment — a divine appointment with a complete stranger that turned into a God-wink reminder of how easily we miss what matters most when we’re rushing, distracted, or spiritually asleep.Jesus didn’t endure the cross so we could live half-alive.He came to give us abundant life — fully awake, fully present, fully surrendered.This episode isn’t hype.It isn’t motivation.It’s a decision point.If something stirred in you while watching — don’t ignore it.Moments like this don’t come often, and they don’t last long.👉 YOUR NEXT STEP (DON’T OVERTHINK THIS)If you want help living with intention, discipline, and faith — not someday, but now — here’s how to take action:🌐 Explore the Building & Becoming Missionjimmotz.com🔒 Join the Building & Becoming Community (Elite Discipleship)https://www.skool.com/building-and-becoming-3294/about?ref=a9c3594b155146838db7c76e3b184c89📞 Schedule a 1-on-1 Call With Mehttps://calendly.com/jimmotz/schedule-your-call-with-jim📲 Follow & Message Me on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/realjimmotz/📘 Connect With Me on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553516815572If you know me personally — text me.If you don’t — comment below or send a message.I read them.

Christian men — if your wife and kids feel anxious about the future, it’s probably not the economy.It’s probably you.In this episode of the Building & Becoming Podcast, we talk purpose, calling, and provision — and why passive faith creates anxious homes.You say you’d die for your family?Cool.But if you won’t stop drinking… won’t lift weights… won’t open your Bible… won’t lead your home… won’t get your finances in order…You won’t even live disciplined for them.🔥 Key line from this episode:“Anxiety is the tax your family pays for your lack of preparation.”This is not motivation.This is not comfort.This is REAL DISCIPLESHIP.⚔️ JOIN BUILDING & BECOMING (ELITE DISCIPLESHIP)If you’re done being passive and ready to raise your standards in faith, body, leadership, and legacy, join Building & Becoming here:👉 JOIN BUILDING & BECOMING (SKOOL):https://www.skool.com/building-and-becoming-3294/about?ref=a9c3594b155146838db7c76e3b184c89This is paid discipleship — because transformation requires investment.No contracts.

What if 2026 was the year you actually changed your life?Not with motivation.Not with New Year’s resolutions.But with standards.In this episode of Building & Becoming, we sit down and answer one simple but uncomfortable question:👉 “I want to know Jesus. I want to get in shape. I want to be a better man… but I’ve never read the Bible or stepped foot in a gym. Where do I start?”The answer is simpler than most people want it to be:Sunshine.Weights.Water.This conversation breaks down why most men stay stuck — not because they lack information, but because they lack discipline, standards, and real discipleship.We cover:• Why New Year’s resolutions fail• Why waiting to “feel ready” is a lie• Standards vs. outcomes (and why standards always win)• Why faith and physical discipline are inseparable• How men reclaim leadership in their homes• Why modern church attendance often replaces real transformation• What ARETÉ (biblical excellence) actually means in daily lifeThis is not inspiration.This is training.🔥 READY FOR ELITE-LEVEL DISCIPLESHIP?If you’re tired of starting over every January…If you’re done attending church but never being changed…If you want your faith, body, leadership, and standards to rise together…Then Building & Becoming is for you.This is an elite discipleship community for men who are willing to live by standards — not feelings.We don’t hype you up.We train you.We hold you accountable.We walk with you as you become someone different.Faith.

🎙 EPISODE 42 — THE BUILDING & BECOMING SHOWWhat Is Discipleship? (And Why Most Christians Aren’t Actually Being Discipled)Most Christians aren’t being discipled — they’re just attending church.If you go to church every Sunday…If you attend a men’s group or Bible study…If you listen to sermons, take notes, and stay “connected”…But nothing is changing — your life, your leadership, your health, your discipline, your standards — then this episode is for you.In this episode of The Building & Becoming Show, Jim Motz breaks down what biblical discipleship actually is, why programs don’t produce transformation, and how the Word of God was always meant to be a living, breathing blueprint for an optimized, disciplined, and abundant life in Christ.Jesus didn’t call us to be informed.He called us to be transformed.True discipleship should show up in:• Your daily habits• Your physical health and discipline• Your leadership at home• Your stewardship and standards• Your courage, sobriety, and obedience to ChristThis episode challenges comfortable Christianity and calls the few who are ready to live set apart, strong, capable, disciplined, and rooted in ARETÉ — biblical excellence.🔥 READY FOR REAL DISCIPLESHIP?👇👉 Join Building & Becoming (FREE Week):https://www.skool.com/building-and-becoming-3294/about?ref=a9c3594b155146838db7c76e3b184c89Click the link, sign up, and use the FREE week to step inside the community.Meet the men and women.Hear their testimonies.See firsthand how months of real discipleship can produce more transformation than decades of church attendance ever did.This isn’t hype.This isn’t motivation.This is training.🔗 CONNECT & NEXT STEPS👉 Follow Jim on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/realjimmotz/👉 Schedule a Call with Jim:https://calendly.com/jimmotz/schedule-your-call-with-jim🎥 STUDIO BUILD CREDITHuge shout-out to Kyle Ranney for helping bring the new Building & Becoming studio to life.Follow his work here 👉 https://www.instagram.com/kyleranney/
