You can’t achieve your manhood. Sorry, but that’s great news. Especially if you experience confusion and frustration like most guys. We’re told we have to earn our manhood. Society has dozens of misguided suggestions, from sexual conquest to a big bank account to six-pack abs. Even in churches, men seek self-assurance through spiritual performance. But all these efforts fail because we’re trying to win the approval of our peers, wives, fathers, kids or even God Himself. It frustrates and wears us out – leaving us isolated, burnt out, and confused.Would you like to feel secure as a man without competing or pretending? Jesus has a better way. It’s receiving, not achieving. Abba Father invites us to receive our way to live just as we receive His solution in Jesus Christ. Let’s explore the journey of manhood in the way of Jesus - receiving your identity as God’s son and following Jesus’ perfectly dependent way of being a man. Let’s experience how receiving transforms everything in your life – from finding your purpose to rediscovering deep friendship – and defines what it means to be a real, good man.

Following Jesus means taking risks in your relationship with God as well as in your relationships with people.  When speaking to his men he also told them they would be taking risks in their relationship to His church. Specifically, that they would be connected to an evil defeating machine that advanced his agenda on earth! As both head and builder of His church, we are called to follow his example of building up and serving the Body of Christ.  This dimension of our journey with Jesus will also involve a tension, a stretching of our faith, and a life giving connection to a community of believers.  Join men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck to learn exactly how Jesus expects God's man to think about, act toward, and engage His church.

Relationships are risky and unpredictable because the possibility exists that something bad or unpleasant will happen as opposed to what is hoped for happening. That is true in any relationship - even your relationship with God. But when you take risks in your relationship with God he rewards them and, over time, you begin to find courage to start risking in the second most important dimension of life - your personal relationships. But what are the things Jesus will ask you to trust him with and act on in your relationships? Join men's expert and Pastor Kenny Luck to learn how Jesus is calling you to the Next Adventure with him in your current relationships.

Now that we’ve seen leadership through the lens of two different men with power andauthority, let’s consider what godly leadership looks like when activated by trust andobedience. Interestingly, there are no average guys in the kingdom of God, and leadership isnot an optional characteristic for those who overcompensate sacrifice for obedience.If it weren’t for difficult times—would you pray? If it wasn’t for uncomfortablecircumstances—would you ever listen to or pray for others? Brace yourself for a breakthroughthat has eluded you for far too long. Knowing your enemies is easy, loving them is much moredifficult, yet serving them just might be where humility is birthed and the fruit we produce asmen matures.

Everything in life stands or falls on leadership, which begs the question, “What is leadership and what exactly does it look like?” As men, we are continually becoming something greater, lesser, or comfortable in our response to God’s directives in life. Let’s review the lives of five uniquely different men throughout Scripture, and consider what leadership, character, and integrity looks like as applied to our own lives.https://egyptspeaks.com

“This week we finish the book of James with a final encouragement and challenge. Will we be men who hope in our wealth? Who place our trust and faith in the things we’ve amassed, storing them up until they begin to rot and even condemn us? Or will we be men who trust fully in Christ? Allowing Him to direct our very lives?”

Pressure reveals substance.  Heat and pressure reveal what something is made and also transforms it into something different.  Think gold - heat purifies and makes it more valuable.  The same is true for every man of God - we are tested and that testing reveals what we really believe and if we will really believe it.  Don't run!  Pass the test.  Bring glory to God.

In relationships remembering another person is synonymous with caring for another person.  Think about when someone thoughtfully remembers you when you are apart and shows up and says, "I was thinking of you and thought you would appreciate this." The Lord is a person and He says that He loves to be remembered not forgotten.  When we forget the Lord there are consequences.  When we discipline ourselves to remember him there are rich, blessings.  Each day we make that choice.

Each Day Part 1 with Kenny Luck

“It’s like man to want to be served.  It’s like the Son of Man to serve.  It’s like the sons of the King to serve.  It’s the way to be.  It’s what we do.  It’s who we are.  That when need comes into our zone of influence and we see it and we are the ones who are faced with it, we enter need to serve.

Episode 333 The Path To Greatness

“If you’re looking to learn how to be unselfish you gotta build strong relationships.  Where do you learn that?  Whether you’re ok at it or whether you never learned how to do it.  You learn that in the family of God where both the father is and the model is in Jesus Christ.”

Episode 295 Risk Building Strong Relationships

Jesus made an audacious claim regarding anyone who believed in him.  He said "whoever believes" ... "will do" the things he did and "even greater things" than he did.  A normal response to that would  be...  Really?  Was he serious? What does it look like? And, perhaps most importantly... am I accountable for that?   As we will see in today's study the answer to that question is YES.  Just like a farmer who plants a fruit tree expects for that tree to yield what it is designed to produce, when you are planted in Christ there is fruit God expects to see.  In today's study men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck is going to explore a powerful moment in the lives of the disciples that would both disrupt and sharpen how they saw their present and future relationship with him.

“And the Bible says that when you fear men over God, it’s a trap.  It’s a snare.  Why?  Because you’re denying who you really are.  You’re saying no to God and yes to fear and in the process, you’re putting man in God’s place.  Because only God brings justice.”

SESSION 1So many things in our lives are requiring less and less time.  High tech advancements have shortened just about every aspect of our lives.  Think about it.  We can send (hold up phone) and expect for someone to receive a personal text message half way around the world and then that person can respond to us as long as there WIFI.  So many things can happen so fast and, nowadays, there is not a lot of patience for things that take a long time, for situations that can’t be fixed quickly, or for results that don’t come on our timetable.   In fact, the research says we are bailing out faster, quitting earlier, and giving up sooner than ever before on people, on jobs, on new experiences, or just about anything that inconveniences us or causes discomfort.  That’s why we are starting a new series today called The Endurance Series.  The Bible says that the man of God is a man who must learn how to endure in his faith.  That’s what we are going to cover in Part One this morning with Pastor and Men’s expert Kenny Luck.  Maybe you feel like you are ready to give up or maybe know a friend who is on the edge.

We have so many guys tuning with us I just want to say to ALL of you - whether you are on a run, driving in your car, in the middle of a business trip, at your church, with your men’s group, or just sitting in your favorite chair at home – GOD IS ON THE MOVE in your life and YOU ARE PART OF A MOVEMENT of men who are becoming dangerous with goodness through the Spirit of Christ. We are starting a new series called WITH GOD.  So to get you ready for today’s message from God’s Word let me ask you a question…Have you ever let how you are feeling on the inside affect how you relate or connect with people on the outside?  The bottom line is that all of our relationship stories are INSIDE stories.  What is INSIDE of us will eventually leak out from us and into our most important relationships for better or for worse.  And no feeling inside destroys relationships faster and more effectively than FEAR. Fear is powerful.  Fear can be subtle.  Fear wants to control your connection to God.  The good news is that we all battle fear as men.  The bad news is that it can ruin our connection to God.  So… all I can say is … SUIT UP and prepare your spirit … it’s going to be a powerful time together.But before we dive into to today's study … think about all the people connected to you … and realize they are fighting this same battle with their own fears… and you sharing this powerful session with your friends could make the difference in their life.

Tested Tough Part 2

To be Christ's leader in the world, we have to surrender to Christ's same process - we must embrace tests of faith and courage.  In Part 3 of TESTED TOUGH we are reminded that when we choose God's process we become like Christ.  When we reject God's process we become something less - less of a man and more like a boy.  The world is desperate for strong men with strong character forged in the crucible of adversity.  Don't despair if you are suffering.  God is making a man.

“When you have the middle ground to go to, it creates vacillation or fluctuating spiritual commitment.  It creates trepidation letting apprehension and panic rule your emotions about your mission.  You see, that’s what the middle ground does.”

Episode 201: Get Rid Of The Middle Ground

Have you ever heard a man say "That was a game-changer for me?" Maybe you have said that yourself.   Looking back, something powerful happened that shaped or reshaped his perspective on a person or issue in a profound way.  Ask a medal of honor "survivor"  - those are the people who lived because someone else chose to sacrifice their own life save them.  They are forever changed in a specific way -  deep sense of responsibility to honor the sacrifice by the way they choose to live going forward.  Why?  Because they have been given a second chance at life.  The experience has become a DRIVING FORCE in their lives.  The Bible says the same thing is true in our relationship to the Lord.  Specifically, God says that our experience with Him will create a powerful new energy inside of us, strong new motivations, and a bold new willingness to risk for Him.

Episode 351 Whats Keeping You Down

“A reflecting man is a connecting man.  When you are a good self reflector.  When you are able to look at yourself in the mirror first.  And you’re honest with yourself and you do inventory in the same area that you are addressing in the relationship- trust me - that conversation will go ten times better.”

Episode 292 A Reflecting Man Is A Connecting Man

Episode 369 Winning Through Obedience

Being a taker is easy.  Being a giver requires inner resources we don't always have. Jesus made this issue of giving and taking as a man a defining feature for those who followed him.  Men who did not follow him were free to be takers but men called themselves by his name were free to be givers - saying no to themselves in order to say yes to others. Jesus modeled exactly what he expects and in Part 4 of the Each Day series men's expert and pastor Kenny Luck breaks down what being a giver means by looking at Jesus - the ultimate gift and giver.
