The Prodigal Journey Journey Podcast Network

Welcome to The Prodigal Journey where we celebrate Christ's power through our weakness! On this episode I talk to John Price III about his journey in understanding biblical manhood. We also talk about cultural influences on our understanding of biblical manhood, struggles we face as men, and much more. Biblical masculinity is about following the example of Jesus, seeking Him above all else, and loving and serving others. We have been told for too long that being a man is about charisma instead of character. Let's get back to a biblical view of what it means to be a man who seeks God above all else!

Welcome to The Prodigal Journey where we celebrate Christ's power through our weakness!On this episode I talk about accountability software. It has been a conversation I've had with other men lately and I want to address it. My fear is that too many men are living out of fear instead of the freedom that we were saved for. We don't have to white knuckle our sin. If we love God and we want to seek Him, we can choose to grow in holiness and our love for Him.Main thoughts for this episode:Boundaries and guard rails are good but they don't give power to obey them or keep them. They don't give us the power to love Christ more.
True love COSTS something, and our love must fuel our acts of devotion.
Application Questions:Are you viewing your sin in light of the freedom that God wants for you?Or are you white knuckling your sin and only thinking about not sinning?

Is your obedience motivated by love for Christ or is it motivated by fear, shame, or something else?
What small steps can you take TODAY to change your thinking and move foward in the freedom Christ has for you?!To change your thinking from "not sinning" to growing in holiness and love for Christ.

Welcome to The Prodigal Journey where we celebrate Christ's power through our weakness! On this episode we talk through what has been happening for us through the summer and what God has been teaching us about punishment and provision. We look at the life of Job and talk about a few key points: - Bad things happening do not mean punishment. - As Christians how should we respond in spite of the bad things? - What does it look like to deepen our dependence on God in the good times as well as the bad?
