Hey this is Jim Graham from the masculine dirty podcast where we explore relationship instead a religion every week their chosen Truth Network podcast is starting in just a few seconds to enjoy it Sarah but most of all, thank you for listening you for choosing The Truth Podcast Network. This is the Truth Network welcome to man talk brought to you by T8 W CM is talking and walking Christian men's ministry where they are devoted to breaking down the walls of race, age, challenging, and to take their God assigned as our host will Hardy and Roy Jones Junior, a black guy and a white welcome back to mantle.

I got up, got my guest with Duane Kennedy segment today in the coupons back on the phone with us so we had a blast.

We can lesson shows which it picked back up in some conversation.

I really appreciate you guys join us again. The things we were talking about. Just before we went live on the mic to this today is that you think were often times trying to make the world the church didn't world not the world and world to the church and I think that's part of what Ken's experiencing now you know that he mentioned last week showed going like you and I were just talking about the word of God either believe it is the word of God, you don't serve your follower of Christ. That's gonna be one foundational principle agreed yes oh yes you so so therefore let's start with that and then will loop back around into his God to sleeves down this path.

How do you see that manifesting itself Duane in your work in your quiz you do Christian rap on lot on the Saturdays party talkshow in the music you play different opportunist witness to people.

How do you see that playing out in in the public marketplace what lot I will say this was been going on. I have seen a lot of a great deal of people get fired up for the Lord, you know, so whatever's going on in in in the spiritual rim.

Ice also seen some states get fired up for the Lord. I see some people start new new ministries SEC no new ministries was birthed I seen Christians getting closer to the Lord conversation out a conversation is about Christ see so I see the positive side of that to even over going through a lot of like I said, what we talked about last week. His weapons of mass distraction.

We have so many weapons of mass distraction that cell phones the media church foe to so many distractions. That's why we have to put everything that we have in our relationship with Christ. To me that's what's most important viable one. You know the first two Commandments.

I love the Lord thy God with all your heart, my body, so any other centered at the love your neighbor as yourself, just so if we're not loving our neighbor as thyself, when not completely following the will of God wound as deeply made a kin about you with with the other ways that you see in this thing play out in a positive side we agree lot with what about everyone in the light table. Other quote you're the one leading the charge, saying my dear lady fell and basically got me all about what we will do about and I love your job trying to figure out what to do, brought along my leaders are able to go but all the love in them and serving them and showing up there and provided oh yeah and I love the fact that leaders are leading the charge on so if you listen to the show today and you're thinking about okay where my are you lukewarm. We talked about this and we know how God feels about lukewarmness.

Are you sitting there thinking you not really have not been as active as I should last 12 months is folks, you know this life is very short. The matter what age you are you it's it's clinging off Quicken. This pandemic is certainly made more obvious to never talk about that today in you.

It's just you wake up on Monday and see what the next morning wake up, it's Friday special if you're walking home person. That's the as result of the pandemic and and I'm in that boat right now working from home approaching a year in the top of my personality type is very challenging in the so book the times clipping off folk so you've got to get up put a line drawn on simple stake in the ground. Christ needs you as one of his warriors.

He needs you to serve him. He needs you to share the gospel. He needs you to take care of those that are in need. As we just talked about. And I think we really we just need to call for revival much those listening today and say look, it's okay. You don't have to have the answers you don't have to know where you got ago you just have got to start stepping and we talk about this on the show quite often feel step in the natural guys can come along and supernatural and guide your passing director press.

Proverbs 3, five and six right so you just need to start walking and let him pick up the tempo and tell you where you need to be inserted. Let's talk about some of the positive things to say yes of had an opportunity to see some things, like you guys to people's to rise up this had friends that have been, it's very difficult times to never asked for prayer. The device for prayer.

So those kind of things are two point Duane Kenner. Some of the positive signals that people are coming to the table and you know it's okay for those people that lost the see the table because they chose not to stay engaged is not okay. It would only by lewdly the kingdom of her walkway from the father but it may be the wake-up call that they need because they may have been too comfortable there. I agree with every. In fact, that I believe that we where the time. When when the Lord is is really looking for the ones is going to worship him in spirit and in truth. You know this is a bunch of scriptures before that mean asked when it would quote a lot but yet he you know, it starts out with a bit relationship X got him talking local will grow old Jesus.well, anything you talk about the true worshiper kind of father speak and it goes mean that guide work of the crew work and the people will talk about the moment so so through compassion becomes the skin and bones of the and and silent will make a different in question is are you make a difference if you listen to us as well and her producer teeth are we make a difference.

It's a if you not make a difference this time to pause and maybe you just distracted. Maybe it's and it's subconscious thing that your BMs taken away and don't realize it from the work in, you know, and I would encourage the pray about it. In his essay encourage you to pray about it.

Let me also come to this other point that no one shall come to the father except through the son. So if you if you haven't asked Jesus in the heart. Your prayers are Nolan board right but he's just not hearing them because you've not accepted Christ as your Savior. So that's the first step. But if you've done that, and you've got you've got the communication channel opened and I would encourage you just step back prayer to the policy. Father what is it that you need me to be doing what.

Maybe even in your own maybe even on your own group with your kids and your wife to look to learn directly. Pray like you cannot imagine how many men are bad all and pastor of a you have a daily time that you pray with your one and they did their house know the answer. Mother silent for very far until detail. That's a topic that I just last week on the men summit is that prayer thing so that's that very thing is about praying with your spouse with your children and and alone as well and you're so so so true pastor that that it is a deer in headlights look that you get not 10 times and you think that goes back to me and have been charged with this post have all the answers. This posted to the other fix it if it's broken, so I think that requires a certain amount of humility to sit down and start praying with your wife and transparency in the and with your girlfriend and only children you know the funny thing about that. A lot of people can't because now they live in front of them. You know so yeah mean you know what was that all is that old gospel hymn didn't like church and let's go home. She is, but that's this was about the human state of their doings and how they live in front of them. So, meaning that face the AC is different than the one assumes on the here yet. The minute you listen, you're better off just to be the bad person all the time and yard make a façade or be hypocritical, be one way on Sunday them to be in and look totally different. Monday through Saturday is Bible so God needs you all the time. The same way so we can work through you. He does need a chameleon does not need a commitment and I think that to encourage every other listener's you know God is got is that he's easy, he's white and you know the Bible says that we have a great cloud of witnesses, that I chair and a someone and also so we have people that moving force what every time a soul comes in the heaven the angels rejoice as a party in heaven. You know so so and I say that to say that this it no matter where you are, or we were.

You can always make the best step forward in NSG really just reaching out to Christ and say hey you know to worship in spirit and truth is that is like this be true for got come as you are truthfully look what I can do is know what I need help, Lord, help me out. It is not. You see my situation.Lord help me and worship him in the process of being truthful with him.

He already knows any.

This he does well in fact I can skin's got a great testimony about that because he's the way God is seizing him much like you Duane and me the different seasons of our life that the he can speak to that very thing you know when it seems the worst, and at the very bottom. It's it wasn't working very bottom. It was putting in the best position to need to be in. Take care some to do some soul winning some caretaking of my corrective land home I needed it. I needed to get my corrective land get back to work to get back to where I was called little about mostly doing is an amazing thing to think about your heavenly father loves us that much. He came to die force not that person relationship. Can't you talk about one rightfully lost to that living relationship in last week so that living relationship.

While Kim want to just for the listeners in the while you take a moment if you don't mind and just share a little bit more about what that living relationship is about. Yeah it it the right talk about a lot of both of them are referred to a lot of late though the plague talk about what it is that when that will be great pastor that I would love to hear about that. I'm looking for to it as well. If you lived with his brothers will be right back with you will gotta take a quick break.

Remember, affordable chiropractic on the W. Lexington Ave. in High Point Hall 336-885-1987. Welcome back to man talk radio right before the break is a leadoff into a conversation where I would is good for LRA to get cut up and left little bit so we got a producer of door.

There he caught me off guard. So can we talk about what that living relationship. The intimate relationship looks like we are asking what that looks like. So while you just take over here can give us a little bit of script descriptive view of what that looks like Sir writing the word implement. The man was probably thinking immediately Becky lot like the long because intimate is only you know that good but it did not live with barely flexible (think a lot of men really struggled heaven implement the like. All open with the living God.

Is it me you're balk if I told you know somebody that I'm not known for the dude are you are you walking in the intimate relationship and they basically take but talk about oh but but I think we we don't understand that but I did life with you.

Like everyday and I celebrated your victory. I was there in the holiday life together comes a lovely roller really knowing what God wants you want to be like with but that means you gotta talk to about everything five minutes in the morning product will look radio that I mean I'm I'm talking throughout the day to the up down in the United we move the boat we both day and read. For in the left Journal of light and I like them. I thought the like, is feeling and amenable relationship and think I feel my need to really teach men typically may how to be in a relationship with the living wheel, a very personal very active very present God not of the Carol universal comfort very present. We can get that flow along the daily faith maybe your week we can get graphical says that's this great king and I think you cannot talk on one who's been quite a bit of time to go. He's been a brother in Christ for long time talks about being a hero maker not not not anything about him, but investing another man to bring them along.

And who knows which of those manikins invest in twos can investing into this could be the next the next great evangelist of the next next great men's leader. The next pastor and can affect is a byproduct of that type of touring and in the land to building Internet and me as well. Both of us will mentor by the passion and keep Carol down the Mount Zion Thomasville many years ago the different church and Kim became came out marketplace became a pastor. You and I and within my life. God birthed the desire to do men's ministry so so that's that's the kind of investment cans talk about the interrelationship of Christ, and that real day-to-day talk hourly talk and when we think about the kin when Jesus modeled it force you he didn't do anything. What he did go talk to the father first in the and even though he knew what the outcome was that he was still talking to the father right up to the end right in the year and that's said that that should be reassuring to every person listening out there that God cares about every thought that you have every worry that you have existed there. We only talk to them. It's so cool collegiate circle all the background started with. Yet what's going on in the church in Inwood did come back to what we started with that Jesus was born man who spent three years directly.

He ministered about it either type of 12. I think a lot of pastors, a lot of people feel like will write if I can reach thousands of people in this type of thousand. Remember the home that we all have an opportunity you to take on that role with not only to be involved but could become a clerk and no Jesus lost one of your heart knowing that one of the world claim is not perfect but really you and David here. We should be focused a lot more about haters and lasers are Kirk to see how it could become clearer and more connected and we need to become a lot more focused on the 12 PM 53 of the people living under my be a good place to start. Let's great point. I kin this is the start home living.

That's the first place that that is your first chapel that is your first as a man in the husband and the father that is your first line of responsibilities right there and in if you have trouble mentor. That's when you need to grab hold mentor man come alongside of his general board to his battle buddy and in the end, and we need to talk about that real quickly that it's so important. Have an accountability partner group of men that you can surround yourself with and so configure multiple things be praying for you.

Be there in a family emergency, you know that I can ask ask the tough questions and especially if you struggle something of the other strongholds in your life that need to be broken.

That group can be there to help you through that in your back to the comment in circles like that to Jesus and the 12 he had the 12 letter to become 11 but that was his circle of larger influence in the smaller circle and was tells you for for modeling our life question, we need a community of men around us and to be a part of community years back as quick example that years ago one of my best friends back in 2008, you know, he was part of our men's ministry and died suddenly of a massive heart attack you member Kim Bronson clearing just love the Lord was a servant's heart was a giant of a man.

683-3853 90 and just but had a heart inside same size that he was when he died, it was just amazing to watch the men that were part of his life come around and support watch after his family for the next five or six years to us to assist through some difficult times for his family left a wife and a daughter and just that's what lights do in life is about us doing life together and it's a man we know we struggle have those interrelationships but were here to encourage about that you get three brothers you're talking to. You are all experiencing and understand the importance of Cindy so Ken got a few more minutes here today. Let's how can we pray for you as a pastor and how can the listening listening audience.

Pray for you as a pastor and a man doing all ask you the same thing and and lets us the spirit transparent yet great question: I I would love the players directly in garden. I know he lives within me.

I know you got a plan and a little be okay but it's just your head into the great adventure you don't really know the path you know that I have just a couple hours ago but work leader called instead of having a worship team on the first Sunday back would been gone out eight weeks, nine weeks to get into that was deleted.

We do. In this, the number moving forward in your field.

Look to get there. Will figured out it never stopped teaching and preaching depositing the thermostat love thermometer. You know I don't reflect the conflict around men have to be affirmed that it skin and connect my calendar that would be greater deeply and improve the other pastors that I do listen better. Need anything.

Correcting garden right so courage moving for and I guess that what I said earlier, think of what we talk about walking the talk on things. But we had to move it in, though. You know the fate of David later they conquered it to look at what you don't need to live it every day moving forward with faith the people walking their group very tuned in).

This home with factory doing thinking you move forward. Megan and go work that would be debugged by your quick that's great going well, you know. Hey, I have so many prayer requests but but the main thing is just pray that the Lord keeps his hands on Duane candidate because with that alone. Everything I have sought out a man you know Celeste S that's my prayer request I always even when I pray I said Lord place me in the center of your will that I may be able please indent you and that's been in my prayer life for 30 years, you know, I was incorporate that in this. Oh yeah, just pray that the Lord keep his hands upon Duane Kennedy and Abby all good. That's great doing it well.

I think of can you peg on something that you're the new the thermostat not the thermometer which is really good. Which means you control the temperature so you control it with God's leading.

You control if it's going down. If it's going up that's that's really good thoughts that has a parallel to to you as a man in your home.

You control the temperature in your home.
