In part 1 and 2 of this series we have been learning that faith in Jesus means that you will be going against how you feel, what you see happening, or the "consensus" opinion in order to realize God's purpose and experience God's power. Today's explores the challenge of being called to love others the way Jesus has loved you. I think we can all agree that this is easier said than done, especially if you have had no models in your life. Every man wants great connections with the people in his lif...

All of us, at one time, were little men. And the odds are that when you were a toddler - you probably wore your feelings on your sleeve. That's what we expect from toddlers. They flop on the ground. Have tantrums. They listen to their impulses. Got the picture? Their emotional "filter" is not yet developed. So why take you back in time? Here's why. We expect impulse in a child but - in a man - it is disastrous. Men are supposed to be able to put feelings in their proper place to lead, serve, and...

The theme for Part Four of Maximum Faith is "Going the Distance." Versus what? Coming short, giving up, or quitting in the middle because things got hard. Ultimate faith is always willing to pay the ultimate price. No man in history modeled this like Jesus Christ. When his feelings were pulling hard his faith pulled back harder and triumphed. In watching Jesus go the distance for us we see a real man with real reservations and concerns but facing them all with honesty, humility and the heart of ...

The theme for Part 3 of Maximum faith is "you gotta believe." At some point, beliefs about God are expressed in the open as actions for God. Call it what you want: the proof in the pudding, the rubber hitting the road, or - for our purposes - where faith actually begins. Words about God are not the same as actions which express true trust in God - we know the difference but more importantly God knows the difference and is waiting to see it and move in response. It happens when there is no obviou...

The theme of Part Two of Maximum Faith was "God's Bigger." When God demands our trust and calls us forward in faith, he says we do so with the assurance and confidence that His personal power and presence are WITH US. When God makes a promise like that we risk more trust and take more actions in faith versus retreat. In fact, because God has made that promise to us he puts his men into situations where can actually trust it. Those are the times God calls us out of our comfort zone and into the "...

Part One Many times a man doesn’t know what he is capable of until someone pushes him. A coach, a mentor, or a friend says “you could do even more” or “you could beat that number” or, more personally, “that’s not your very best and you know it.” Most men sell themselves short, or worse, play it safe because they have fallen into a mindset and routine where nobody challenges them or pulls more out of them. The sad irony is that the gain in performance was there all along – it was simply left unre...

#4 - Moral Conflicts Hey guys it’s Jeremy and I want to welcome you to this morning’s worldwide live stream study. If you pay attention to the news at all you see very well-known or famous people making decisions as adults that make you scratch your head and say why did they do that? People who seem to have it all-beautiful wife, a great job, lots of money in the bank, and if they are super blessed, perhaps a wonderful family to complete the picture. But then they make a decision that causes the...

#3 - Spiritual Conflicts How many of you enjoy being told how to live, what to do, where you can go, and when you have to say no or yes? It’s not a trick question and the answer is not tricky either. The Bible says that every man is at war inside over which voice will control his actions - his voice - his conscience or his conscience & God. Let’s face it - no man likes to surrender control of his choices to anyone. And yet that’s exactly what God asks us to do - surrender control of how we t...

#2 - Emotional Conflicts Hey guys - it’s Jeremy - thanks for joining the EveryMan worldwide live stream study. To get us ready for this morning study let me ask you a question: “Have you ever made an emotional decision in the moment that you ended up regretting?“ You were angry and said words. You were afraid and you acted too early. You were alone and sad and chose to make yourself feel better in an unhealthy way. Did you know there are over 120 negative emotions a man can feel that can create ...

We spend a lot of energy as human beings trying to avoid, minimize, or escape conflict and the pressures that come with it. Good luck. The Bible promises conflict in our broken world and how we respond to it reveals who we really are and what we really believe. The Bible teaches that inner conflicts, while unwelcome, are loaded with God’s purpose and blessing. In fact, when a man wins the inner battles of life he will win more intimacy and closeness with God and people.

Part 4 – Jesus v Posers Have you ever experienced this before? A Christian with good intentions ends up doing more harm than good with the very people he is trying to influence for his faith by acting overly religious. Have you ever bumped into one of those people? They look goofy. They act goofy. They become goofy. And there’s nothing goofier than a goofy Christian. Well, in today’s study we are going to see Jesus confront dysfunctional, judgmental, and goofy spirituality. We are going to watch...

Part 3 – David v Saul Taking responsibility is a sign of maturity. Avoiding responsibility - well – that’s the stuff of boys. In fact, you probably remember your parents or a teacher or coach putting you in a corner at some point in your life and saying, “Well, what do you have to say for yourself?” The first two Kings of Israel were men just like us – their names were David and Saul. One man is famously referred as the “man after God’s own heart” and Israel’s greatest warrior, king, and poet. T...

Part 2 – Samson v Samuel Have you ever heard the expression “living a parallel life?” It’s when two people living in different spaces are experiencing the same things in their lives. This is the story of Samson and Samuel in the Bible. From their miraculous births to their divine callings to their eventual positions of influence, these two guys are living “parallel lives” within God’s community. But like many men today who live within the community of faith, our public identity often conflicts w...

MORE OF THAT! PART 1 – CAIN AND ABEL Every man likes to hear the words “you did good” – especially from people we respect or love or are hoping to please. Clear expressions of approval are appreciated because they take some of the guesswork out of the relationship. How about when it comes to your relationship with God? The good news is that God’s Word is filled with stories of men to whom God said, “YOU DID GOOD – YES - MORE OF THAT!” letting them know He was pleased by how they thought and what...

#5 ”My Disciple Is Loyal to Me Alone” When we say that a man has a “higher allegiance,” to anything we usually mean that when push comes to shove … he will choose THAT over any competing priority or person. Think work. Think hobbies. Think about a an important relationship. Practically speaking, your strongest loyalty […]

Hey guys – it’s Jeremy – thanks for joining the Every Man Livestream Study. Just this past week a gentlemen in Japan paid 3 million dollars for a rare, 615 pound blue fin tuna. That doesn’t make very much sense for most of us but when you get past the headline and find out that this man is the President of a Japanese Sushi Restaurant chain it starts to make more sense. Clearly this man – because of who he is – is willing to pay a very high for what he values the most. Personal value determines p...

#3 – MY DISCIPLE PRODUCES MUCH FRUIT Hey guys – Jeremy here – thanks for joining the Every Man Livestream Study. I am greeting from California – home to one the richest fruit producing regions in the world. In fact, California is often called the land of fruits and nuts – and I am not talking about the people – I am talking about literal fruits and nuts. It may seem silly but if I asked you, what kind of fruit does an apple tree produce? You would laugh at me and say, “Apples dummy!” We can answ...

#2 - MY DISCIPLE LOVES PEOPLE Hey guys – it’s your host Jeremy – thanks for being a part of the Every Man Livestream Study. Today’s study is going to be highlighting the fact that - who we really are eventually comes out in our relationships. I think we can all agree that that can be a good thing or… a bad thing. For most men, it’s fair to say that relationships represent his greatest challenge, his greatest source of regret OR his highest sense of achievement and satisfaction. How do we know? B...

Have you ever said to yourself, “Is that guy a Christian?” Maybe we see them behaving a certain way or doing something that raises the question in our minds. When someone makes a claim, there is a natural expectation we place on people once they make it. But how do we know if a person is the REAL DEAL…a real friend…a real follower...

Part 4 - Ground Zero: When Healthy Legacy Explodes In our culture today we make much of our celebrities – they are super visible people who have massive followings. But I think you would agree that there is big difference between a hero and a celebrity. * Celebrities are known for their name being known. * Heroes – on the other hand – are known for thinking of someone else. * Celebrities make history through visibility. * Heroes make history through character qualities. * Celebrities show how it...

Part 3 - Ground Zero: When Healthy Morality Explodes You might have heard the famous statement: “If we don’t stand for something we will fall for anything?” The idea is simple: weak convictions lead to a weak morality among men which leads to weak beliefs and behaviors. I don’t know about you but I think the world is pretty fed up with men who have a weak or selfish morality. On the other hand, we respect men who believe their beliefs and live them out – even if they differ from our own. What al...

Part 2 - Ground Zero: When Healthy Community Explodes I think you’ll agree that when a few men get together – all it takes is one bad idea for dangerous stuff to start going down. Am I right?

Ground Zero #1 By the looks of it, emotionally grown up, spiritually strong, and relationally committed men are in high demand but low supply. In a world scrambling for solutions to the chaos, dysfunction, injustices and related pain in today's cities and communities, it is equally clear that the ills before us will not be solved politically, economically, or by a gender grab for power and position. What would happen if a new wave of masculinity for others took root? A masculinity that focused l...

Traumas in our lives can redefine us or redeem us. What happens depends on what we allow to shape our thoughts and actions in the midst - not in the absence of - adversity. God's plan is for you to rise above and soar above your challenges not let them define you.
