Father On Purpose Podcast Manhood Journey

Years ago, God challenged Don Manning to go deep with Him and to go deep with his family. While it wasn’t the answer that Don was seeking at the time, it was a call that changed his life and his family legacy forever. The result has been a ministry that’s focused on helping dads find meaning and purpose—not to mention a whole lot of fun—in doing family God’s way. Listen to hear the wisdom Don’s gained over more than three decades of building and nurturing his own crazy, cool family.

In a world where guys are supposed to have it all together, admitting any kind of need or weakness seems like a dangerous proposition. But, as pastor Craig Bowler reminds us, Jesus often comes to us with a simple question: "What do you want?" Becoming the man God created you to be involves letting Jesus show you the "wants" you may not even realize you have—and letting Him be the One who meets those deepest needs.

While money comes in handy for this life, time has always been humanity's most precious resource. After all, we can always make more money, but time disappears forever with each tick of the clock. Since time is so valuable, we need to make sure we're not wasting a single moment of this gift that God has given us. Wise and generous men recognize a great investment when they see one—and nothing can be more profitable to us and our families than learning how to spend our time well.

The anonymous writer of Psalm 118 wrote that every day is a gift from God's hand, so we should celebrate each one. That sounds great until the pressures of the world start putting the squeeze on our lives. It's hard to maintain genuine joy and excitement about life when we're bombarded by the stresses and struggles of daily existence. As men of God, it's important for us—and our families—to stay connected to the only One who provides true meaning, purpose, and joy with every sunrise.

Words mean things. That's why we need to be incredibly careful about the words we use—and the words we believe. Our cultural vocabulary is filled with phrases that might sound motivational on the outside, but they miss the mark of what Jesus wants His followers to know about who they are and who He created them to be. He needs to be the filter for everything we say or hear about ourselves and others.
 
Take these common phrases and compare them to the truth of God's Word:
1) Take it like a man
 
2) Every cloud has a silver lining
 
3) Don't put all your eggs in one basket
 
4) Good things come to those who wait
 
5) Ignorance is bliss
 
6) Look before you leap
 
7) Play devil's advocate
 
8) There are other fish in the sea
 
9) There's no such thing as a free lunch
 
10) You can't have your cake and eat it too

We may never be more like Jesus than when we practice generosity. We serve a God who gives without limits, and He gives us the chance to be His hands and feet in this world every day. Even when we're living from paycheck to paycheck, we can still find ways to be generous. We just need to be open to the possibilities.
