    #290 – Saved… But Still Stuck?

    You love Jesus. You believe the gospel. You know you’re saved. So why do you still feel stuck? In this episode, I walk through the powerful story of Lazarus in John 11–12 — not just as a miracle story, but as a mirror. A mirror of what Christ has done for us… And why so many Christian men are still tangled up in “grave clothes” long after being raised to new life. We talk about: What it really means that we were spiritually dead How Jesus loves us even in our worst condition Why resurrection happens on God’s timing, not ours The power of Christ’s Word to bring dead men to life Why being saved doesn’t mean you’re instantly untangled The role of brotherhood in removing “grave clothes” What real repentance looks like Why your transformation points others to Jesus And why this is ultimately about God’s glory, not ours If you’ve ever thought: “Why do I still struggle with this?” “Why do I still feel bound?” “Why can’t I fully break free?” This episode is for you. You may be out of the tomb. But are you still wearing grave clothes? Let’s deal with it. https://thegrizpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/LazarusFinalCut.mp3 – – – Resources and Links: Covenant Eyes – Accountability software for all your devices Website: covenanteyes.com Use code: grizzin for a free 30-day trial Support Our Nonprofit Ministry – Narrowtrail Ministries Website: https://narrowtrail.com/give Or text “give” to 301-888-6860 Climb Teams – Online addiction recovery and discipleship groups for Christian men Learn more and apply: https://narrowtrail.com/climb-teams GRIZ Tribe (Closed Facebook Group) For Christian men who listen to the podcast and want online brotherhood and encouragement. https://facebook.com/groups/griztribe Connect with Jason … Email: Jason@narrowtrail.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegrizpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/griz_jasongeorge/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-george-6a746729/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@grizpodcast – – – Outro voiceover music: By Pavel Front Popov Royalty Free by Frontmusic and AudioJungle

    #289 – A Man Alone With God

    In this episode, I talk honestly about why time alone with God isn’t optional—it’s essential. We live in the noisiest generation in history, and most men are spiritually dry or exhausted because we never slow down long enough to sit quietly with God. Community matters. Accountability matters. Brotherhood matters. But real transformation starts in the secret place. I share from my own life what it looks like to abide in Christ in a distracted world, and why everything in our spiritual lives flows from time alone with Him. I also tell the powerful true story of George Müller and how his daily time alone with God shaped both his life and his ministry. If your soul feels tired, scattered, or dry, this episode is a wake-up call. Brother—put the phone on Do Not Disturb, get alone with God, and let Him do the deep work. Keep climbing.

    #287 – You Must Reframe Your Pain

    Suffering has a way of breaking men when they don’t understand it. But when suffering is given meaning, it can become the very thing that forges strength, endurance, and purpose. Drawing from Scripture and the life of Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl, this episode will help you: Keep your mind strong when your body is breaking down Find meaning in your suffering instead of letting it destroy you Reframe your pain through the lens of eternity Endure the storm and keep climbing when everything hurts This is not motivational, self-help hype. This is battle-tested, biblical truth for real life. If you’re in the middle of a storm, this episode will help you walk through it with strength, perspective, and unshakable hope. https://thegrizpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/reframepain.mp3 Scriptures Referenced: 2 Corinthians 4:17 Hebrews 12:2 Philippians 1:21 James 1 2 Timothy 2 1 Peter 1 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 My brothers … Your suffering is not random. Your pain has purpose. Your story is still being written. Don’t quit. It’s always too soon to quit. Keep climbing.

    #285 – Building Your Walls of Self-Control

    Proverbs 25:28 says, “A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.” In this episode, Jason unpacks what that actually means for Christian men today. Using the parable of two cities—Everwind and Stonewatch—he shows how self-control is the difference between a life that collapses and a life that stands strong. You’ll learn 8 practical ways to build the “walls” of self-control in your life through prayer, daily disciplines, guardrails, brotherhood, renewing your mind, redirecting your desires, fighting from your identity in Christ, and getting back up when you fall. If you’re tired of getting wrecked by the same sins, temptations, and habits, this episode will help you start building a fortified life—brick by brick.

    #284 – God is Sovereign—You’re Not in Control

    In this episode, I’m getting honest about something God has been drilling into me lately: I’m not in control. And neither are you. We think we’re steering the ship — managing outcomes, holding everything together, directing how life is supposed to go. But the truth is… we’re not running anything. God knows. God sees. God rules.And I’m learning to let Him be God — right in the middle of pain, uncertainty, heartbreak, and unanswered prayers. In this episode, I talk about: How I’m personally wrestling with the sovereignty of God Why it’s easy to believe God is sovereign intellectually, but hard to trust emotionally What Scripture actually says about God ruling over everything The difference between control and surrender How real peace isn’t the absence of chaos — it’s the presence of Christ in the chaos Why letting go is a daily battle, not a one-time event How God uses suffering, struggle, and loss to shape His people Why “beautiful people don’t just happen” — they’re forged in the fire Why nothing in my life (or yours) is wasted in God’s hands I also share: The verses that anchor me when life feels upside down Quotes that have been hitting me hard My own raw struggle with wanting answers and control How God meets us in the waiting and the hurting Why surrender is actually strength, not weakness If you’re dealing with uncertainty right now… if life feels unfair… if you’re scared, confused, overwhelmed, or frustrated — I promise, this episode will encourage you. God is sovereign. He knows what He’s doing, even when we don’t. ⸻ QUOTES I SHARED: “True peace isn’t the absence of chaos — it’s the presence of Christ in the chaos.” “Control says, ‘I’ll be okay if things go my way.’ Faith says, ‘I’ll be okay because God is still on the throne.’” “Nothing in your life is wasted — not even your tears.” ⸻ SCRIPTURES READ: Psalm 115:3Ephesians 1:11Colossians 1:16–17Revelation 19:6Daniel 4:35Proverbs 19:21Isaiah 46:9–10John 16:33Romans 8:28Philippians 3:13–14Psalm 56:8 ⸻ RESOURCES MENTIONED: Do You Believe? — Paul David Tripp Quotes from C.S.
