Seriously Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

Energy. Men measure interest by the amount of it we see expressed. We say, "I don't have any energy about that" or we ask "Where is this energy coming from?" We know that the expression of "energy" physically or emotionally means it's personal. A lot of times we don't if a man has energy about something until a situation presents itself which calls for an expression of previously hidden inner energy. After that we say, "Now I know." The first disciples were unaware of the energy Jesus had about ...

Seriously Part 3 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

Wealth. Wisdom. Power. Today's culture is loathe to give a man these three things because it fears that he will use them to serve himself and abuse others. This brand of broken male culture is called toxic masculinity. The message being sent to men could not be clearer: being strong and being a man is toxic - don't empower him because he does not have the character to handle the power and influence he has been given. More to the point, others will suffer due to his strength not having the emotio...

Seriously Part 2 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

Starting a race is different than finishing a race. Starting a "DIY" (do-it-yourself) home project and leaving it unfinished is confusing. Or, maybe you have heard it this way: "People don't remember how you start but they will remember how you finish." The big idea is this: starting something doesn't become meaningful until you actually finish what you started. The Bible says the same is true in our journey as God's man. In fact, Jesus put it this way: "Most people's love will grow cold. But th...

Seriously Part 1 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

Who gets to decide what is best for you? You or God? We can respond in one of three ways. First, we can respond in pride which says to God: "I know better on this one." Second, we can respond in fear which says to God: "Thanks but no thanks, I know how to meet my needs better on this one." Or, third, we can respond in faith which says to God: "You know better." In our journey with God, pride and fear warp obedience, dilute God's authority and assist the Devil in his schemes. Today's culture enco...

Crazy Asks Part 5 with Jason Park – Audio Only

The only guarantee with adversity is, it’s coming. You can’t schedule its arrival, but you will for sure know when it gets here. The seasons of adversity offer opportunities for spiritual growth and a realization that our God is Sovereign. God makes big asks of us in these moments. Our faithful decisiveness provides opportunity to fulfill God’s purpose.

Crazy Asks Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

For most men, their life is full of "loves." In fact, we like to describe a man by what they love. In answer to the question, "What is he like?" we will say "Oh, he loves ..." and then go on to identify what a man values. This would include his attachments to people, his beliefs, his sports teams, his hobbies, types of food or music. To get an accurate picture of who they are, all you have to do is talk about who or what they "love." The downside of loving anything is that that "thing" can be ta...

Crazy Asks Part 3 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

Quick fixes to big problems are hard to come by - especially embarrassing ones. Your computer crashes and you can't get your work completed on time. It will be late. No quick fix. You are on your way to work and your coffee mug tips over onto your shirt and pants. Time to go back home. No quick fix. Without warning your toddler's digestive system decides to jettison the "veggie-carrot" baby food out of its present location inside, outward, onto your friend's carpet. Ever been there? Instead of a...

Crazy Ask Part 2 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

"For such a time as this." Ever said that? Maybe not. But if you have ever been in a desperate situation and someone with the exact set of skills arrived to help, you can identify with this expression. Your car breaks down and the tow truck driver arrives. It's a relief! In the Bible those words are spoken when a person is in the right place at the right time to bring success or deliverance when no one else would be as well suited to the task. They are like a puzzle piece - uniquely designed and...

Crazy Ask Part 1 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

A man knows when he is "coasting." It means that he is not stretching to achieve a higher standard, putting a full effort into his work or sacrificing anything to improve a situation, an endeavor or important relationship. The Bible reveals a personal God who does not believe in"coasting" in your relationship with him and in your service of him. In fact, He will intentionally ask a man of God to do things in faith that, from the man's perspective, are not only personally challenging but are also...

Force Of Habit Part 6 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

in a group of men all it takes is one bad idea. All of us have been there. You are in a group of guys. There is camaraderie. There is energy. There is stupidity! You end doing stuff in a group that you would never choose to do if you were by yourself. And hopefully, you come out of it alive. In a powerful twist, the exact opposite is also true. Same camaraderie. Same energy. Different character of friend. The Bible is clear: our associations determine our destinations as men. Where we will end u...

Force Of Habit Part 5 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

Right habits build the RIGHT LIFE. One of those right habits is hanging out with the RIGHT PEOPLE who will help and support you in building that right life. The battle for every man then becomes about disciplining ourselves and our calendars to make time for your "go to guys." So who are your "go tos"? The Bible reveals a personal God who wants personal time in your personal calendar every day. God says He wants to be your "GO TO" GOD. For that to become a reality, however, the daily habit of me...

Force Of Habit Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

"I got this." These are words of confidence uttered when we feel command over a situation or challenge. When it comes to the daily management of our lives and walk with God those words don't make sense to Jesus. He said, "I am the Vine and you are the branch. Apart from me you can do nothing." Nothing? Really? But what does that actually mean? How do I actually work that out? Answer: you depend on God for EVERYTHING - big and small. It's a habit that good "branches" develop so that they can be s...

Force Of Habit Part 3 with Jason Park – Audio Only

Big victories are the result of a collection of small wins. BUT visualizing the prize at the end, gives me discipline in the moment. It gives me hope and that hope shapes my habits. These habits provide a road paved with confidence and direction filled with peace. The habit of Listening to God drowns out the noise of this world. When we listen to God and allow for what we hear to leak into our hearts, we experience VICTORY.

Force Of Habit Part 1 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

The Bible reveals that an authentic relationship with God is a lifestyle - a way to be and believe that produces a way to behave daily. As opposed to what you say? A compartmentalized event or a disconnected set of singular experiences? Yet that is how many men experience God. Before a meal. On a Sunday. When loss or pain suggests we pray. At a men's group. At Christmas and Easter. God is situational. We divide our lives into sacred and secular. He is invited into some aspects and events but not...

It Ain’t About You with Jason Park – Audio Only

Jesus’ teachings are not recommendations for how we should “feel.” They are commands for how we should act. Where we prefer to act in compliance with how we feel, Jesus calls us to act in a way that is often in defiance of how we feel. What does that mean? If we plan to follow the commands of Jesus, we will do some things we do not feel like doing. Our gut (aka pride, selfishness, sinful nature, etc.) is going to tell us, “No, this doesn’t work for me.” Jesus is going to tell us…..” IT AIN’T ABO...

Inner Man Part 5 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

Knowing something through experience is different than knowing about something. Head knowledge is good but heart knowledge through experiencing something or someone is way better. Someone asks: "Do you know him?" You can have one of three responses: "I don't know him" or "I know about him but we are not friends" or "I know him personally and he is a close friend." When it comes to God's love and your personal connection to Christ, God wants a heart - not just a head - connection! There is a big ...

Inner Man Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

If your identity has never been stolen you probably know someone who has been exploited. Sensitive and personally identifiable information was compromised and a HACKER started stealing their livelihood ruining their life for a period of time. There was a security breach. Did you know that your identity in Christ and your inner security in him is under attack right now? A Hacker is attempting to breach your inner man and he is seeking to compromise the truest truths about you - that you are fully...

Resolve Part 5 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

Sometimes the best lessons of our lives are discovered through the "backdoors" God opens while we are waiting for life to unfold a certain way. Initially, we don't like being delayed but then, with hindsight, we see the wisdom of the back door plan God had in mind. We often don't think of Jesus having to wait on God for anything but the Bible reflects a completely different picture. He had to wait - a long time in some instances - on the Father's green light. And, as men's expert and Pastor Kenn...

Resolve Part 4 with Kenny Luck – Audio Only

Ever made a bad decision that taught you a good lesson. Godly men become godly not because they make perfect decisions but because they repent well from their bad ones! They RESOLVE to take their lumps well and not come out of a situation without the lesson. That's exactly what the Paul in the Bible did and God used the consequence of a bad decision to change his life and the lives of billions forever. How? Because he waited well on God! He couldn't have know it at the time but he is glad he did...
