    Why Churches Often Fail Men - And How TO Create Change with Mark Lubbock

    The church is missing its best growth engine, and it’s not another program - it’s men. Mark Lubbock breaks down why so many churches are thriving with women but failing to disciple men, and what actually changes when leaders stop managing the organization and start meeting people at their point of need. In this conversation, Mark shares how his own story of divorce, questions, and a search for real answers led him into full-time men’s ministry. Now serving as Executive Director of the United Methodist Men and Wesleyan Foundation for Men, he explains why traditional training often equips pastors to maintain systems, not reach men where they are. You’ll discover: Why men respond to catalytic events, not just Bible studies How the "conveyor belt" model moves men from curiosity to discipleship What Pat Morley’s "No Man Left Behind" framework gets right about meeting men at their felt need Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Dark Night of the Soul Is Actually a Gift

    The dark night of the soul is not God abandoning you - it's God growing you up. Tim Holloway unpacks why spiritual dryness, doubt, and deconstruction can actually be the mercy that moves you from emotional faith into mature, steady love.If you have ever wondered why prayer feels flat, worship feels distant, or your once-vibrant faith now feels like it is being stripped down, this episode puts words to the experience. Tim traces the dark night through Scripture and spiritual formation, showing how crisis exposes immaturity, reveals what is really ruling your heart, and forces you to confront the competing voices of fear, pride, lust, anger, and approval-seeking.You'll discover: Why spiritual growth happens in stages, not as an instant leap How Hebrews, Corinthians, and Peter all point to the same maturity pattern Why self-control is really about mastery, temperance, and authority How good spiritual practices can become dangerous when they replace relationship Why God sometimes removes the training wheels so your faith can finally walk Tim also makes a sharp case against the trap of “cultural Christianity” and the modern habit of chasing experiences, fixes, and emotional highs instead of seeking the Lord Himself. He reframes the dark night as a proving ground where God expands your capacity, rebuilds your inner life, and teaches you to carry what He wants to entrust to you.This is a needed listen if you feel stuck in spiritual infancy, are wrestling with doubt, or suspect your faith has become more about the tools than the treasure. Tim closes by pointing to the kind of love that does not depend on a feeling spike - the kind that keeps choosing God when the emotions settle. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Stop Repeating the Cycle: Notice Your Patterns First

    Are you tired of repeating the same emotional reactions, relationship conflicts, leadership struggles, or painful cycles and wondering why nothing seems to change? In this session, Tim Holloway teaches how to begin noticing the patterns in your life so you can stop living on autopilot and start growing with wisdom, maturity, and spiritual clarity. This message is for men, leaders, believers, husbands, fathers, business owners, and anyone pursuing personal growth, emotional maturity, spiritual formation, and biblical transformation. You’ll learn why your reactions, avoidance, anger, withdrawal, fear, overworking, procrastination, and relationship tension are not random. They are patterns revealing something deeper beneath the surface. God uses patterns everywhere: seasons, seedtime and harvest, day and night, pruning, leadership growth, biblical stories, emotions, and even pain. When you learn to notice these patterns without blame, excuses, or denial, you begin to see where you are located, what God is forming in you, what needs to be pruned, and what cycle must finally be broken. What you’ll learn: how repeated emotional patterns reveal hidden beliefs; why biblical stories like Adam and Eve, Cain, David, Elijah, and Jonah show recurring human cycles; how relationships drift from connection to disconnection through neglect, assumptions, and unresolved hurt; how leadership, business, money, burnout, and spiritual maturity all follow patterns that can either produce growth or keep you stuck. 00:00 Intro: What Are You Noticing?02:21 The Key to Wisdom Is Recognizing Patterns03:33 Life Stages, Growth, and Development05:22 Independence, Marriage, Fatherhood, and Maturity10:11 Successful People Notice Patterns11:24 Seasons, Timing, and Ecclesiastes15:42 Seedtime, Harvest, and Spiritual Growth18:16 Bringing Ideas and Growth to Life20:04 Water, Flow, Stagnation, and Integration21:27 Location Identification and Leadership Growth22:12 Transformation Patterns and the Butterfly23:47 Forest Growth, Decay, Renewal, and Pruning26:05 Ebb and Flow: When to Advance or Retreat28:35 Day, Night, Work, Rest, and Sabbath29:31 The Pruning Pattern Before Greater Fruit31:00 Biblical Patterns and the Sin Cycle34:34 Cain, Comparison, Resentment, and Sabotage35:46 David, Bathsheba, Temptation, and Cover-Up37:18 Why Detrimental Patterns Keep Repeating39:30 The Fork in the Road Before the Cycle Continues43:18 Emotional Patterns and Faulty Interpretation48:53 Relationship Patterns and Repeated Conflict51:03 Behavior Patterns, Escapes, and Reinforcement52:45 Leadership, Business, Bottlenecks, and Growth53:59 Kingdom Patterns and God’s Process56:25 Jesus Christ as the Ultimate Pattern #SpiritualGrowth#EmotionalMaturity#BiblicalWisdom#LeadershipDevelopment#PersonalGrowth Learn more about your ad choices.
