  • The Practical Power of Values
    Nov 20 2024

    What good are values? How do they help us in the everyday chaos of life?

    That is what we are talking about on the show today. We will discuss how values are essential for us as we navigate life. Just like a compass helps sailors arrive at their destination, values guide us to live empowered lives. This means each day can be rich and full of meaning no matter what you do for a job or how many tasks you have to accomplish.

    Values Help Us Live Focused in the Chaos of Life
    • Values can act as a compass and bring focus amidst the chaos.
    • Values give us direction on what action to take.
    • Values help us cut out the unnecessary or unimportant in our lives.

    Values are an Antidote to Aimlessness
    • Without values, we aren’t aiming our lives in any specific direction
    • Values force us to choose.
    • If we don’t choose a direction for our lives, someone or something else will choose for us.
    • The current of life draws us towards the easy and the urgent. The easy and the urgent are rarely the important.
    • Not choosing is a choice.

    Values are an Antidote to Overwhelm
    • A million different voices are screaming at us that we NEED to do their thing. (Buy their product, take their course, follow their advice, etc.)
    • There is a dangerous assumption in our world that we can do everything.
    • You CANNOT do it all. “Teach us to number our days, that we might gain a heart of wisdom.”(Psalm 90:12)
    • We don’t need to do everything. We just need to do the right things
    • The difference between a light and a laser is the focus.
    • The difference between surviving and thriving is the focus.

  • Our Values: The Key to Our Identity
    Nov 13 2024

    Samwise Gamgee was an iconic character in the Lord of the Rings series. He was an everyday gardener who was put into some unbelievable situations. The amazing thing about Sam was that he didn’t let the good or bad situations change him. He had a strong identity and stuck to it no matter the situation.

    Many men today are facing an identity crisis. This is due to their lack of foundational values. When a man has strong values, he will often have a strong identity. He can stand up in hard situations and is less likely to back down in the pressure cooker of life.

    Today’s show discusses how our values help shape our identity.

    The Current Identity Crisis among Men

    “You have to be great and world-changing!”

    All the unrealistic men on TV and social media.

    Who am I? Do I need to be like them?

    How we often look to accomplishments to validate ourselves.

    Values Help Connect Our Current Identity and Future Ideals

    They help you become more confident in who you are

    They give you a pathway on how you should live

    Values Help Us Focus and Keep Moving During Hard Times

    Values guide us and keep us focused on what we can control

    Values are meant to guide your personal behavior, not define your circumstances.

    Values guide how we live more than how we feel, where we are at in life, or how others respond.

  • Our Core Strength as Men
    Nov 6 2024

    Core strength often involves our abs and whether we are exercising. However, we want to discuss a different type of core strength in this week’s show: Inner Core Strength.

    This has nothing to do with abs but has everything to do with your Values. When a man has values and seeks to live by them, he is stronger in every area of his life. When a man ignores his values, he will live a weak life of following others. Join us as we focus on values and why they are so important to men today.

    Society has a lot of weak men

    Weak men lack purpose and wander through their lives

    Weak men selfishly focus on themselves

    A weak man’s world is easily wrecked by circumstances

    Weak men will often seek escape from hard choices

    The Answer

    The answer isn’t just to try harder

    The answer is to build your core strength

    Core strength in men is their values

    Values = Core Principles that Guide Our Lives

    Some values are universal and some are personal

    Lack of Values Makes Men Followers

    They will become slaves to other people’s opinions and their appetites

A must listen!

I enjoy listening to David, he is precise and to the point. He has a relaxing voice that draws you in, almost like a father or grandfather. He lays down wisdom in every episode. The men of this world need to listen to this podcast or someone similar. For me personally, the best part is that he brings in the gospel from time to time without shoving it in your face.
