    #151 | Work It Out | Philippians 2:12–13 | Lights in the World

    New week. New section of Philippians: LIGHTS IN THE WORLD. Before Paul talks about how Christians shine out there, he talks about what God is doing in here. Paul doesn’t say work FOR your salvation. He says work OUT your salvation—because God Himself is already at work within you. In this episode: Own your obedience — Your faith has to become your faith.Work your faith — Eventually, you’ve got to pick up the weight.Trust God to work in you — You work out what God is working in.Embrace dependent obedience — God empowers. I respond. God convicts. I obey. God produces. I participate.Don’t waste the resistance — Growth requires tension.Let God change your want-to — He isn’t only changing what you do. He’s changing what you want.You work out what God is working in. Daily Rebel: Don’t waste the weight.

    Psalm 144:15 | Four Marks of a God-Formed Man What are you really counting on to make your life good? Psalm 144 ends by pointing beyond the blessings God gives us to God Himself: “Happy are the people whose God is the LORD.” In the final episode of FORGED, we’re talking about a man whose hope is anchored in God. Enjoy God’s gifts without making them your god.Don’t measure blessing by what you have.Anchor your hope in what cannot be taken.Check your anchor by asking what you’re most afraid to lose.Hold God’s blessings with open hands.Build your identity before the storm comes.Learn to say, “Jesus, You are enough.”Remember: an anchor doesn’t eliminate the storm—it keeps you from drifting in it.Four practical ways to check your anchor are:  Ask what you’re most afraid to lose.Thank God for gifts without clinging to them.Build your identity before the storm.Practice saying, “Jesus, You are enough.”A blessed man isn’t a man who has everything. He’s a man whose God is the Lord. Train my hands. Surrender my heart. Build my home. Anchor my hope. God, forge the whole man.

    #150 | Every Knee Will Bow, Every Tongue Will Confess | Philippians 2:10–11 | Holy Humility

    Episode 150 — and what a place to land. Paul brings us to the conclusion of this incredible passage: every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. In this episode: Every knee will bow — Nobody is outside the authority of King Jesus.Every tongue will confess — Jesus isn’t merely helpful, inspiring, or a consultant. He is Lord.Bow now — The ultimate posture of humility is a bent knee before King Jesus.Take the throne test — What are you still fighting Jesus for control over?Surrender all of it — Your relationships, money, ambition, body, calendar, career, future, private life, and public life.It all ends in glory — Jesus on the throne. Us on our knees. God receiving the glory.Jesus doesn’t need your permission to be Lord. Daily Rebel: Kill the ego. Take the towel. Carry the cross. Exalt the name. Bend the knee.

    #149 | The Name | Philippians 2:9 | Holy Humility

    Jesus went lower than anyone—and the Father exalted Him higher than everyone. Philippians 2 turns on one massive word: therefore. The humble, serving, obedient, crucified King is the risen and exalted King. There is no throne above His, no authority over His, and no name higher than His. In this episode: God highly exalted Him — The One who went lowest is exalted highest.The cross reveals the King — The cross didn’t make Jesus King. It revealed what kind of King He is.His name is above every name — Every other name has a ceiling. The name of Jesus doesn’t.Stop building your name — You don’t have to make a name for yourself when your life exists to make much of His.Take the name test — Am I using Jesus’ name to build my name, or using my life to lift His?Make much of Jesus — Your name isn’t the destination. It’s a signpost. Point it toward Jesus.Big Idea: There is no name higher than Jesus. Daily Rebel: Kill the ego. Take the towel. Carry the cross. Exalt the name.

    #148 | Carry the Cross | Philippians 2:8 | Holy Humility

    How far does your yes to God actually go? Paul shows us that humility isn’t merely an attitude—it becomes obedience, and Jesus carried that obedience all the way to the cross. In this episode: Humility surrenders — Pride asks God to bless my will. Humility surrenders to His.Obedience has a cost — Eventually following Jesus will collide with your comfort, preferences, plans, or approval.Carry the cross — Jesus became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross.Take the stopping-point test — Where have you quietly told Jesus, “I’ll follow You unless…”?Give God your yes — Real surrender doesn’t wait to read the fine print before obeying.Humility isn’t just how you see yourself. It’s how far you’re willing to obey God. Daily Rebel:Kill the ego. Take the towel. Carry the cross.

    #147 | THE MIND OF CHRIST | Philippians 2:4–7 | HOLY HUMILITY

    What does it actually mean to think like Jesus? Paul points us to Jesus—the King who willingly took the posture of a servant. The mind of Christ always moves toward others. In this episode: LOOK BEYOND YOURSELF — Humility widens your field of vision.THINK LIKE JESUS — The mind of Christ doesn’t ask, “What do I deserve?” It asks, “How can I serve?”USE YOUR STRENGTH TO SERVE — Jesus used His power to move toward people.TAKE THE TOWEL — If serving isn’t beneath Jesus, it can’t be beneath us.NOTICE PEOPLE — You can’t serve people you’re too self-absorbed to see.MAKE YOUR INFLUENCE USEFUL — Use what God has put in your hands to help somebody else. THE MIND OF CHRIST ALWAYS MOVES TOWARD OTHERS. DAILY REBEL: KILL THE EGO. TAKE THE TOWEL. Send us Fan Mail Book Derek Griffon to Speak at your next event  https://www.derekgriffon.com/invite

    # 146 | KILL THE EGO | Philippians 2:1–3 | HOLY HUMILITY

    We’re stepping into Philippians 2 and a new section called HOLY HUMILITY. Paul makes it clear: following Jesus means declaring war on the need to make everything about us. Unity gets difficult when everybody needs to be the main character, and selfish ambition can turn ministry, relationships, and even serving into another way to chase attention. Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself. It’s refusing to make everything about yourself. In this episode: FIGHT FOR UNITY — You don’t have to make everything about you.KILL SELFISH AMBITION — Ambition asks, “How can I contribute?” Selfish ambition asks, “How can I get credit?”MAKE OTHERS BIG — Pride walks into the room asking, “Do they see me?” Humility walks in asking, “Who am I not seeing?”HUMILITY ISN’T THINKING LESS OF YOURSELF. IT’S REFUSING TO MAKE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOURSELF. DAILY REBEL: KILL THE EGO. Send us Fan Mail Book Derek Griffon to Speak at your next event  https://www.derekgriffon.com/invite

    FORGED | Episode 3: Home Built With Purpose | Four Marks of a God-Formed Man

    We’re in Week 3 of FORGED — Four Marks of a God-Formed Man. Week one: HANDS — TRAINED FOR BATTLE. Week two: HEART — SURRENDERED IN WORSHIP. Now David moves somewhere incredibly important: HOME — BUILT WITH PURPOSE. Psalm 144 starts on the battlefield but ends in the household. David realizes the battle was never just about the battle. There were people, families, children, and a future behind him worth protecting. A GOD-FORMED MAN DOESN’T JUST BUILD A LIFE. HE BUILDS WHAT WILL OUTLIVE HIS LIFE.  YOUR HOME NEEDS MORE THAN YOUR INCOME. IT NEEDS YOUR PRESENCE. Providing matters. Working matters. But your wife and children need more than what your paycheck provides—they need you. Don’t get so busy providing a life for your family that you forget to live that life with them.BUILD IN THEM WHAT THE WORLD CAN’T TAKE FROM THEM. You can’t control who your children become, but you can cultivate the soil they grow in. Your words, habits, priorities, marriage, worship, repentance, and relationship with Jesus are teaching them what your family considers normal.  WIN YOUR BATTLES SO THEY DON’T HAVE TO INHERIT THEM. Some battles aren’t just about you. Anger. Addiction. Passivity. Compromise. Spiritual apathy. By God’s grace, a man can decide: THIS ENDS WITH ME.And single men—build now. Don’t wait until you have a family to become the man your future family will need.   This week, make it practical: be present, pray over your home, create what you want to become normal, and identify what stops with you. DON’T JUST LEAVE YOUR CHILDREN SOMETHING. LEAVE SOMETHING IN THEM.  And remember, this isn't about earning God's acceptance by becoming a better man. THE GOSPEL DOESN’T JUST FORGIVE THE MAN YOU’VE BEEN. IT BEGINS FORMING THE MAN YOUR HOME NEEDS YOU TO BECOME.  THE FORGED CREED TRAIN MY HANDS. SURRENDER MY HEART. BUILD MY HOME. ANCHOR MY HOPE. GOD, FORGE THE WHOLE MAN. Key Scripture: Psalm 144:11–15 Send us Fan Mail Book Derek Griffon to Speak at your next event  https://www.derekgriffon.com/invite
