What's in a name?
And what can it do for us to hear God speak our name?
In our experience there might be nothing more powerful actually.
In this conversation Jay and Rich share stories about the bestowing of our true identities through our names.
Navigating our sons skillfully from boyhood into the world of men is confusing and sometimes terrifying, especially when it comes to the topic of sexuality. No father leads his son perfectly, but this perfection we'd like to offer is not as critical as simply having some courageous intentionality. In these next 2 episodes I have a conversation with my 20 year old son Baer and his best friend Jake
In part 2 of this 2-part conversation Darren shares his personal redemptive tale to help us see how God rescues us from living like orphans, reveals our true identity as His beloved sons, and molds us into the spiritual fathers the world so desperately needs.
Darren has taken the ancient path, chosen radical trust, and is living the life of significance every son is made for. In part 1 of this 2 part story-conversation he offers wisdom and encouragement to help us see and trust that God is up to creating a masterpiece out of every son's story.
Best-selling author and a father to many, John Eldredge joins us again for a 2-part conversation about learning to live with resilience from God in these testing times. It's the subject of his timely new book release "Resilient". We talk about the pressures of the hour we live in, the end of the age…
In part 2 of this 2 part conversation Jay Heck and Morgan Snyder, author of the new book “Becoming a King” continue to discuss the brilliant way God shapes a man to become trustworthy with the care of His Kingdom.
The powerful life men want grows as we increasingly risk more on God to come through. That's why the journey to kingship must start by believing God is our loving, deeply devoted Father who can always be trusted to come through, even as the stakes get higher than we can today imagine.
Beginning in his early thirties with a personal crisis around the issues of identity and purpose, Morgan has sought and been shaped by the divine wisdom of older men who have helped him piece back together God’s original vision for authentic manhood and the path to obtain it.
Listen in as we discuss what all men want but few can handle: POWER. It's God's desire for man to have power, but for the good of the world that power must be rooted in character, and that character rooted in…you guessed it… being a son. This is part 1 of a 2 part interview.
One of the bits of wisdom from King Solomon comes from the book of Proverbs, chapter 29, where He said “Without a vision the people cast off restraint” If you dig in a little bit deeper into the Hebrew, what it means is “If a man does not receive revelation from God for the direction and purpose of His life, he will most certainly lose His way and die.”
A few years ago I felt lost, and leaning into this Proverb I asked God for a vision to help me and my son on our journey of sonship.
While externally it feels like resources and answers are in short supply, there is a way of living that is ancient, time tested, and utterly dependable to help a man come through any trial. And more than that - it offers the hope of becoming a better, stronger man.
This Way is called Sonship. But this way of living is always under fire. Let’s watch Jesus navigate the 3 temptations every sons will face.
Jay and Rich continue introducing the offer into sonship as they navigate purchasing trucks for teenagers and helping Batman craft a hatrack. The offer of sonship: Who is it for? What does it look like? Even though we've already logged a few miles on the odometer we are still as curious as you. We begin exploring this invitation which is better painted through stories than by tips and techniques.
What happened to Jesus between 12 and 30 years old? While Scripture says little, that doesn’t mean we aren’t invited to explore the question. If Jesus is in fact the pioneer of our salvation as Scripture tells us, it’s worth considering the journey Jesus had to take to become the man who changed everything and opened up the Kingdom of Heaven to all.
