Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to the Lion Within Us, a podcast serving
Christian men who are hungry tobe the leaders God intends you
to be.
I'm your host, chris Granger.
Let's jump in.
All right, fellas, fun Fridaytime, let's get into it, okay.
So the scripture of the weekthis week has been 2 Corinthians
, the 10th chapter, the thirdverse.
It says For though we walk inthe flesh, we do not war
according to the flesh.
(00:24):
Beautiful verse, guys, theApostle Paul just dropping some
knowledge on us right there.
Obviously, we talk about thisverse at length in our spiritual
kickoff episode.
So if you're wanting to know,like man, that sounds awesome,
but I'm not really sure how tolike apply it to my life today.
Hey, go back and listen to thatepisode.
We try to give you somepractical insights on how you
can simplify and apply it toyour life.
(00:45):
Again, we do that Mondaythrough Friday in our Lion
Within us community, all forfree, thelionwithinus.
We call it the daily spiritualkickoff or daily SKO, whatever
you want to go with there, right, but that's a great way to get
that little plug.
You get that little boost toget your day started.
Cool part was the daily SKO isyou can do it with us, live like
, literally while we're doing itlive and within our platform,
(01:08):
and if you miss it, no worries,we always post the videos the
same day, so you're constantlygetting opportunities just to
plug in, engage and hopefully beencouraged by the word All
right.
All right, fellas.
That last episode with Justinwas great for sure.
He dropped so much informationon Beyond the Line Ministries
and what he's doing there tohelp you.
(01:28):
Particularly well, guys inparticular battle pornography.
So statistics are out there,fellas.
I mean it's like 90% in theworld period secular, but within
the church itself, it's between70% and 80% of guys are looking
at pornography within the last30 days.
We start thinking about statslike that and then look around
the classroom and you're in theSunday school class or maybe
(01:50):
your discipleship group or oreven just a church service or
worship service and startapplying those statistics to the
guys in that room.
It's alarming, it is absolutelyalarming.
It's alarming.
It is absolutely alarming.
And he also mentioned that lessthan 7% of churches actually
have a program or any type ofinitiative to combat this.
There's a gap.
(02:10):
It's a massive gap, and the gapis there for not by surprise,
because the evil one wants thatgap to be there.
The last thing the evil onewants is for a Christian man to
be walking free in sexual sin.
No, he wants us to feel trappedby that bondage and absolutely
nothing that we can do.
We're just trying to help yourecognize that you are not
(02:34):
trapped.
So if you find yourselfconstantly battling pornography,
you don't know, you don't seeany light at the end of the
tunnel.
This could be that littlepinhole of hope just to reach
out.
And it may not be the end, allbe all, but it may be the first
step.
Again, when you're doingdiscipleship like we do, like
(02:56):
Justin does, you're not in itfor the harvest.
No, you're all about the sowing.
We just got to sow, baby.
We just got to sow God's wordinto guys every day.
And if we do that sowing,somebody else may do the
harvesting and guess what.
That's okay, that's okay, butwe're going to help you get
(03:17):
started, okay.
So the lionwithinus, check outthose resources and let me know
if we can help you.
All right, for our fun Friday,we always do a health, wealth
and a self tip, okay, so that'slike the pillars for the line
within us.
If you're new listening to theshow, health is all about mind
and body.
Wealth is all about career andfinances.
Self is about being a betterhusband and father.
Okay, pretty simple stuff.
(03:38):
So for the health tip, I heardthis and I thought was awesome,
awesome.
It was called a three, two, onebedtime routine, like three,
two, one height.
Right, let's go.
So the three is no food threehours before bed.
The two was no drink nothing todrink, no liquids two hours
before bed.
And then one was no screens onehour before bed.
So I thought that was just apretty cool tip.
(03:59):
Like you know, it's tough to do, you know, with the world we
live in these days, but justthink about that.
How much better would yoursleep be if you didn't put
anything on your stomach threehours before you went to sleep?
You may not have to get up andtake a leak as much either if
you didn't drink anything twohours before bed.
And then those screens one hour.
Just lets that mind calm down.
So instead of a screen, I don'tknow, pick up a book, right?
(04:23):
There's a Bible right there forthose who aren't watching on
YouTube, but that's it right.
So that three, two, one.
And also it's a pretty easyreminder for us, or framework,
rather, for those who have kids.
If I'm in a three, two, oneframework, all right, three
hours.
So you got to do some backwardsengineering on the math.
So if you want your kids bed bynine, get dinner done by six,
(04:47):
we're cutting off the drinkanything before seven, and then
at eight o'clock, guess what?
Tv's off and lights out at nine.
So we start thinkingpractically in those areas.
Man, it's a really big way thatyou can make an impact on your
personal sleep, your rest, aswell as those around you.
So there you go Three, two, onebedtime routine.
(05:10):
All right, wealth tip we'regoing old school right here,
baby.
Cash envelopes Okay, they'regreat ways to start budgeting
because it forces you to engageand think critically about
purchases, cause I'm going totell you what.
Nothing's going to get yourblood pressure up and that heart
rate.
Thinking about do you haveenough money in your pocket to
cover the expenses?
(05:30):
Getting ready to hit that cashregister, okay.
So this is budgeting one-on-onestuff, so it's not for
everybody.
If you're trying to get startedwith a budget, a great way to do
it is with cash envelopes.
So you just take an envelopeand you for the different
expenses you have for the month,whatever that budget is.
So let's say, you have agrocery envelope.
Maybe you allocate $700 a monthfor groceries.
(05:52):
Put $700 in that envelope.
Then you have an envelope forgas and maybe that's a $300
envelope.
You put $300 in that, you justgo down the line for your budget
and then you utilize thosefunds directly for those
expenses for that given month.
This is not for everybody, butthis will teach you.
(06:13):
There's something that mentallyhappens when you have to
actually take the exchange ofcash, take it out your hand and
put it into a vendor's hand or acashier's hand for them to ring
you up.
There's something that mentallyit just hurts more versus
swiping a credit card.
It just does man Credit cards.
(06:34):
The one thing they've doneright is they've made it almost
emotionless buying Like.
You just don't feel the emotion.
You just get the euphoria highfor the product that you want,
but you don't think about theconsequences.
So cash envelopes again, oldschool OG way to go.
It's a great way to get started, particularly if you're in a
(06:54):
financial crisis right now andyou just like the wheels are
falling off all around you andyou got to think radical.
Thinking radical could mean youknow what let's?
Let's start some of these bigbucket items like groceries,
like gas, and develop a cashenvelope system.
All right self-tip this oneright here comes from my old
brother Doug.
(07:15):
I love him so much.
He's always bringing updifferent dad jokes every week,
or pretty often rather and nowhe gave me this self-tip that I
just thought was really good.
And I'm pretty sure he broughtthis up during a couples night,
which, by the way, we do couplesnight once a month at the Lion
Within Us.
Actually we're doing it tonightfor the Lion.
(07:36):
We always do it the firstTuesday of the month.
So his tip was argue betweenthe nines.
He's like look, there's nothingthat's going to behoove you to,
to be picking or argumentativewith your spouse before 9 am or
after 9 pm.
I thought that was just reallysalient advice.
(07:58):
Think about it Before 9 am youprobably haven't woke up.
Good.
Now, most people aren't like me.
I'm getting up at 430.
We're here on the farms and mywife in the morning, she she has
to get up because we're upRight, got four kids.
I'm getting up at 430.
We're here on the farm.
So my wife in the morning, shehas to get up because we're up,
right, we got four kids.
But most people, it takes alittle bit of time and it takes
her some time too, for real,she's got to get that caffeine
flowing.
So I'm not a caffeine guy, butshe definitely is.
(08:19):
So she's got to get thecaffeine going just to get
engaging with the world right.
So before 9, be careful.
Be careful.
After 9 pm what happens?
We get tired.
When you get tired, you makebad mistakes.
You say stuff you probablyshouldn't say.
Right, you're not thinking withthe clarity that you have.
(08:40):
You know, at 10 am you justdon't have that.
So be careful.
If you're trying to to work onareas in your marriage and you
find yourself in a frictionpoint, have those discussions
between the nines.
So, doug, you are the man rightthere.
Brothers, that's three reallygood tips, fellas.
Hopefully you enjoyed those.
The health, wealth and self.
Again, the health is that three, two, one bedtime routine, no
food, food three hours, drinktwo hours, screens one hour
(09:02):
before bed.
Wealth tip Think about thatcash envelope system, self-tip,
argue between the nines.
All right, now for our book Igot I'm pulling this one up.
It's called sons of purpose aview of biblical heroes through
the eyes of a 21st century man.
And this is a 40 writercollaboration and the reason I'm
(09:23):
bringing this up.
You see this little name righthere Bunky Griffith.
He is the writer of the firstchapter, ok, and he talks about
Philemon, and he is a member ofthe Lion Within Us and we want
to celebrate the guys at theLion when they have major
accomplishment, and this is amajor accomplishment to be
published in a book like this.
So we're just super encouraging, encouraged by Bunky.
Any meetings and engagements hegets to come to, a book like
(09:44):
this.
So we're just super encouragedby Bunky.
Any of the meetings andengagements he gets to come to,
it's always fun.
He has the greatest sense ofhumor.
I've never been in a call withBunky where I didn't laugh.
I mean, he's always cutting up,but he also, he knows his Bible
, he knows God's word.
He's all about discipleship.
He's all about serving others.
He's all about discipleship.
He's all about serving others.
(10:04):
He's all about encouragingothers.
And this right here.
Just add this to your library.
Guys support him directly.
So go out there and search sonsof purpose, a biblical view of
heroes through our eyes of the21st century men, and search his
name Bunky.
You heard it right, b-u-n-k-yGriffith, just like Andy.
There you go and then plug thatinto your library.
Hopefully you will enjoy that.
So, monkey, thank you forsharing that super proud of you,
(10:26):
my friend, and thank you forall you do for the line within
us.
All, right, guys?
So the quick.
Actually, before our question ofthe week, we got to get to our
dad jokes, right?
So our dad jokes this week.
We got two good ones.
The first one is my dad told mea joke about boxing.
I guess I missed a punch lineall.
So that's the first one.
Number two that car looks nice,looks nice, but the muffler
(10:49):
just seems exhausted.
So there you go, fellas.
Let us know which one works,number one and number two.
Number one my dad told me ajoke about boxing.
I guess I missed the punchline.
Number two that car looks nice,but the muffler seems exhausted
.
Again, dad jokes are all aboutgetting a sigh, an eye roll,
just a deep breath, right,that's what it's all about.
(11:09):
So sometimes they hit betterthan others.
So let me know which one youlike best.
We always do a poll within ourLion Within Us community on
Fridays, by the way, for our dadjokes.
Just see where guys line up atand if you have a dad joke that
you want us to use we haven'tused on the show yet.
Support at thelinewithinus.
Send us that email.
We love to use it on the show.
I'll give us a free swag alongthe way, all right?
(11:33):
So the question of the week thisweek is what small compromises
have gone unchecked in your life, and it's the small compromises
that lead to the big impact,right, either positive or
negative.
We have to be super careful asmen, as Christian men, not to be
compromising on areas of thevalues that we know to be true.
And what do we know to be true?
God's word, that's it.
So we cannot compromise there,fellas.
(11:55):
So if you start findingyourself with these moments of
compromise, give yourself somegrace, don't beat yourself up,
but then correct it.
It's time to course correct.
All right, guys.
So that's it.
I hope you enjoyed that.
Thank you so much for listeningthis week.
Again, this week, that episodeon pornography.
For those guys that arestruggling with it, please reach
out.
Okay, again, my email is chrisat the lion within dot us, shoot
(12:18):
me a note.
Let me know.
I got emails coming in prettyregularly with guys who are
struggling with some form ofsexual addiction and, again, I'm
not always going to be able totake the resources directly to
work with you one-on-one, but Igot ways and different avenues.
We've been blessed with thelion for guys that can, and
(12:40):
that's what I want to help youwith.
I want to help you get pluggedin with the guys that can help
you the most in the season oflife that you're in and walk
with you through that pain.
And our buddy over at JustinLine Ministries is it fellas, so
we can get you connected withJustin and get you going there.
All right, so have a greatweekend.
Thank you so much for listening.
Give us a rating and review ifyou don't mind.
(13:01):
That will be helpful.
Head over to thelinewithmanus.
If you like what we're doing,you should really consider
joining our community.
It's going to be straight up.
It's super easy.
That's a really low investmentfor what you're getting.
And then considering yourapplication for our leadership
masterminds, that's where we'releaning in hard.
We have groups going right now.
These guys are just pushingeach other on a regular basis.
(13:23):
Guys, this is not for the faintof heart.
So if you're not really seriousabout your discipleship journey
, don't even worry about it.
I must be honest.
You're probably not going toenjoy it, you're not going to
qualify for it.
But if you are serious aboutyour discipleship journey, you
don't have those guys in yourlife.
You're looking for thatpersonal board of advisors.
The Leadership Mastermind isthe way to go, fellas.
I'm telling you, the resourcesthere are incredible.
The conversations, theengagements, the way that we're
(13:46):
plugging Christian men together,fellas, that's what it's all
about.
So thelionwithinus is where youfind all your info.
All right, so have a great day,guys, get after, have a good
weekend.
Thanks for listening and justkeep unleashing the Lion Within.
I've got something big to share.
(14:06):
We're making a major shiftbecause we know the battle is
real and it's time more men hadaccess to the support they need.
For too long, guys have beentrying to carry the weight alone
pressure at work, tension athome, wounds from the past in a
world that demands strength butoffers no place to rest.
We see it, we've lived it, andthat's exactly why we built our
community.
It's a stronghold, a placewhere warriors can find rest,
(14:28):
truth and a band of brothersstanding beside them.
And starting now, we're makingit easier than ever to step in.
We've lowered the barrier tojust $15.99 a month.
That means for less than thecost of a drive-thru lunch, you
can join a brotherhood that'scentered on Christ and built for
growth.
Inside you'll find access toour daily spiritual kickoffs
every Monday through Friday, ourLion Lunches, our Bible Studies
(14:50):
, our Friday Forge Gatheringsall that and so much more.
Every man needs a stronghold,and you don't have to fight
alone.
If you've been waiting for theright time to jump in, this is
it.
Go to thelionwithinus and jointhe community and see for
yourself what happens when irontruly sharpens iron.
Welcome to the Lion Within Us, a podcast serving
Christian men who are hungry tobe the leaders God intends you
to be.
I'm your host, chris Granger.
Let's jump in.
All right, fellas, fun Fridaytime, let's get into it, okay.
So the scripture of the weekthis week has been 2 Corinthians
, the 10th chapter, the thirdverse.
It says For though we walk inthe flesh, we do not war
according to the flesh.
(00:24):
Beautiful verse, guys, theApostle Paul just dropping some
knowledge on us right there.
Obviously, we talk about thisverse at length in our spiritual
kickoff episode.
So if you're wanting to know,like man, that sounds awesome,
but I'm not really sure how tolike apply it to my life today.
Hey, go back and listen to thatepisode.
We try to give you somepractical insights on how you
can simplify and apply it toyour life.
(00:45):
Again, we do that Mondaythrough Friday in our Lion
Within us community, all forfree, thelionwithinus.
We call it the daily spiritualkickoff or daily SKO, whatever
you want to go with there, right, but that's a great way to get
that little plug.
You get that little boost toget your day started.
Cool part was the daily SKO isyou can do it with us, live like
, literally while we're doing itlive and within our platform,
(01:08):
and if you miss it, no worries,we always post the videos the
same day, so you're constantlygetting opportunities just to
plug in, engage and hopefully beencouraged by the word All
right.
All right, fellas.
That last episode with Justinwas great for sure.
He dropped so much informationon Beyond the Line Ministries
and what he's doing there tohelp you.
(01:28):
Particularly well, guys inparticular battle pornography.
So statistics are out there,fellas.
I mean it's like 90% in theworld period secular, but within
the church itself, it's between70% and 80% of guys are looking
at pornography within the last30 days.
We start thinking about statslike that and then look around
the classroom and you're in theSunday school class or maybe
(01:50):
your discipleship group or oreven just a church service or
worship service and startapplying those statistics to the
guys in that room.
It's alarming, it is absolutelyalarming.
It's alarming.
It is absolutely alarming.
And he also mentioned that lessthan 7% of churches actually
have a program or any type ofinitiative to combat this.
There's a gap.
(02:10):
It's a massive gap, and the gapis there for not by surprise,
because the evil one wants thatgap to be there.
The last thing the evil onewants is for a Christian man to
be walking free in sexual sin.
No, he wants us to feel trappedby that bondage and absolutely
nothing that we can do.
We're just trying to help yourecognize that you are not
(02:34):
trapped.
So if you find yourselfconstantly battling pornography,
you don't know, you don't seeany light at the end of the
tunnel.
This could be that littlepinhole of hope just to reach
out.
And it may not be the end, allbe all, but it may be the first
step.
Again, when you're doingdiscipleship like we do, like
(02:56):
Justin does, you're not in itfor the harvest.
No, you're all about the sowing.
We just got to sow, baby.
We just got to sow God's wordinto guys every day.
And if we do that sowing,somebody else may do the
harvesting and guess what.
That's okay, that's okay, butwe're going to help you get
(03:17):
started, okay.
So the lionwithinus, check outthose resources and let me know
if we can help you.
All right, for our fun Friday,we always do a health, wealth
and a self tip, okay, so that'slike the pillars for the line
within us.
If you're new listening to theshow, health is all about mind
and body.
Wealth is all about career andfinances.
Self is about being a betterhusband and father.
Okay, pretty simple stuff.
(03:38):
So for the health tip, I heardthis and I thought was awesome,
awesome.
It was called a three, two, onebedtime routine, like three,
two, one height.
Right, let's go.
So the three is no food threehours before bed.
The two was no drink nothing todrink, no liquids two hours
before bed.
And then one was no screens onehour before bed.
So I thought that was just apretty cool tip.
(03:59):
Like you know, it's tough to do, you know, with the world we
live in these days, but justthink about that.
How much better would yoursleep be if you didn't put
anything on your stomach threehours before you went to sleep?
You may not have to get up andtake a leak as much either if
you didn't drink anything twohours before bed.
And then those screens one hour.
Just lets that mind calm down.
So instead of a screen, I don'tknow, pick up a book, right?
(04:23):
There's a Bible right there forthose who aren't watching on
YouTube, but that's it right.
So that three, two, one.
And also it's a pretty easyreminder for us, or framework,
rather, for those who have kids.
If I'm in a three, two, oneframework, all right, three
hours.
So you got to do some backwardsengineering on the math.
So if you want your kids bed bynine, get dinner done by six,
(04:47):
we're cutting off the drinkanything before seven, and then
at eight o'clock, guess what?
Tv's off and lights out at nine.
So we start thinkingpractically in those areas.
Man, it's a really big way thatyou can make an impact on your
personal sleep, your rest, aswell as those around you.
So there you go Three, two, onebedtime routine.
(05:10):
All right, wealth tip we'regoing old school right here,
baby.
Cash envelopes Okay, they'regreat ways to start budgeting
because it forces you to engageand think critically about
purchases, cause I'm going totell you what.
Nothing's going to get yourblood pressure up and that heart
rate.
Thinking about do you haveenough money in your pocket to
cover the expenses?
(05:30):
Getting ready to hit that cashregister, okay.
So this is budgeting one-on-onestuff, so it's not for
everybody.
If you're trying to get startedwith a budget, a great way to do
it is with cash envelopes.
So you just take an envelopeand you for the different
expenses you have for the month,whatever that budget is.
So let's say, you have agrocery envelope.
Maybe you allocate $700 a monthfor groceries.
(05:52):
Put $700 in that envelope.
Then you have an envelope forgas and maybe that's a $300
envelope.
You put $300 in that, you justgo down the line for your budget
and then you utilize thosefunds directly for those
expenses for that given month.
This is not for everybody, butthis will teach you.
(06:13):
There's something that mentallyhappens when you have to
actually take the exchange ofcash, take it out your hand and
put it into a vendor's hand or acashier's hand for them to ring
you up.
There's something that mentallyit just hurts more versus
swiping a credit card.
It just does man Credit cards.
(06:34):
The one thing they've doneright is they've made it almost
emotionless buying Like.
You just don't feel the emotion.
You just get the euphoria highfor the product that you want,
but you don't think about theconsequences.
So cash envelopes again, oldschool OG way to go.
It's a great way to get started, particularly if you're in a
(06:54):
financial crisis right now andyou just like the wheels are
falling off all around you andyou got to think radical.
Thinking radical could mean youknow what let's?
Let's start some of these bigbucket items like groceries,
like gas, and develop a cashenvelope system.
All right self-tip this oneright here comes from my old
brother Doug.
(07:15):
I love him so much.
He's always bringing updifferent dad jokes every week,
or pretty often rather and nowhe gave me this self-tip that I
just thought was really good.
And I'm pretty sure he broughtthis up during a couples night,
which, by the way, we do couplesnight once a month at the Lion
Within Us.
Actually we're doing it tonightfor the Lion.
(07:36):
We always do it the firstTuesday of the month.
So his tip was argue betweenthe nines.
He's like look, there's nothingthat's going to behoove you to,
to be picking or argumentativewith your spouse before 9 am or
after 9 pm.
I thought that was just reallysalient advice.
(07:58):
Think about it Before 9 am youprobably haven't woke up.
Good.
Now, most people aren't like me.
I'm getting up at 430.
We're here on the farms and mywife in the morning, she she has
to get up because we're upRight, got four kids.
I'm getting up at 430.
We're here on the farm.
So my wife in the morning, shehas to get up because we're up,
right, we got four kids.
But most people, it takes alittle bit of time and it takes
her some time too, for real,she's got to get that caffeine
flowing.
So I'm not a caffeine guy, butshe definitely is.
(08:19):
So she's got to get thecaffeine going just to get
engaging with the world right.
So before 9, be careful.
Be careful.
After 9 pm what happens?
We get tired.
When you get tired, you makebad mistakes.
You say stuff you probablyshouldn't say.
Right, you're not thinking withthe clarity that you have.
(08:40):
You know, at 10 am you justdon't have that.
So be careful.
If you're trying to to work onareas in your marriage and you
find yourself in a frictionpoint, have those discussions
between the nines.
So, doug, you are the man rightthere.
Brothers, that's three reallygood tips, fellas.
Hopefully you enjoyed those.
The health, wealth and self.
Again, the health is that three, two, one bedtime routine, no
food, food three hours, drinktwo hours, screens one hour
(09:02):
before bed.
Wealth tip Think about thatcash envelope system, self-tip,
argue between the nines.
All right, now for our book Igot I'm pulling this one up.
It's called sons of purpose aview of biblical heroes through
the eyes of a 21st century man.
And this is a 40 writercollaboration and the reason I'm
(09:23):
bringing this up.
You see this little name righthere Bunky Griffith.
He is the writer of the firstchapter, ok, and he talks about
Philemon, and he is a member ofthe Lion Within Us and we want
to celebrate the guys at theLion when they have major
accomplishment, and this is amajor accomplishment to be
published in a book like this.
So we're just super encouraging, encouraged by Bunky.
Any meetings and engagements hegets to come to, a book like
(09:44):
this.
So we're just super encouragedby Bunky.
Any of the meetings andengagements he gets to come to,
it's always fun.
He has the greatest sense ofhumor.
I've never been in a call withBunky where I didn't laugh.
I mean, he's always cutting up,but he also, he knows his Bible
, he knows God's word.
He's all about discipleship.
He's all about serving others.
He's all about discipleship.
He's all about serving others.
(10:04):
He's all about encouragingothers.
And this right here.
Just add this to your library.
Guys support him directly.
So go out there and search sonsof purpose, a biblical view of
heroes through our eyes of the21st century men, and search his
name Bunky.
You heard it right, b-u-n-k-yGriffith, just like Andy.
There you go and then plug thatinto your library.
Hopefully you will enjoy that.
So, monkey, thank you forsharing that super proud of you,
(10:26):
my friend, and thank you forall you do for the line within
us.
All, right, guys?
So the quick.
Actually, before our question ofthe week, we got to get to our
dad jokes, right?
So our dad jokes this week.
We got two good ones.
The first one is my dad told mea joke about boxing.
I guess I missed a punch lineall.
So that's the first one.
Number two that car looks nice,looks nice, but the muffler
(10:49):
just seems exhausted.
So there you go, fellas.
Let us know which one works,number one and number two.
Number one my dad told me ajoke about boxing.
I guess I missed the punchline.
Number two that car looks nice,but the muffler seems exhausted
.
Again, dad jokes are all aboutgetting a sigh, an eye roll,
just a deep breath, right,that's what it's all about.
(11:09):
So sometimes they hit betterthan others.
So let me know which one youlike best.
We always do a poll within ourLion Within Us community on
Fridays, by the way, for our dadjokes.
Just see where guys line up atand if you have a dad joke that
you want us to use we haven'tused on the show yet.
Support at thelinewithinus.
Send us that email.
We love to use it on the show.
I'll give us a free swag alongthe way, all right?
(11:33):
So the question of the week thisweek is what small compromises
have gone unchecked in your life, and it's the small compromises
that lead to the big impact,right, either positive or
negative.
We have to be super careful asmen, as Christian men, not to be
compromising on areas of thevalues that we know to be true.
And what do we know to be true?
God's word, that's it.
So we cannot compromise there,fellas.
(11:55):
So if you start findingyourself with these moments of
compromise, give yourself somegrace, don't beat yourself up,
but then correct it.
It's time to course correct.
All right, guys.
So that's it.
I hope you enjoyed that.
Thank you so much for listeningthis week.
Again, this week, that episodeon pornography.
For those guys that arestruggling with it, please reach
out.
Okay, again, my email is chrisat the lion within dot us, shoot
(12:18):
me a note.
Let me know.
I got emails coming in prettyregularly with guys who are
struggling with some form ofsexual addiction and, again, I'm
not always going to be able totake the resources directly to
work with you one-on-one, but Igot ways and different avenues.
We've been blessed with thelion for guys that can, and
(12:40):
that's what I want to help youwith.
I want to help you get pluggedin with the guys that can help
you the most in the season oflife that you're in and walk
with you through that pain.

And then considering yourapplication for our leadership
masterminds, that's where we'releaning in hard.
We have groups going right now.
These guys are just pushingeach other on a regular basis.
(13:23):
Guys, this is not for the faintof heart.
So if you're not really seriousabout your discipleship journey
, don't even worry about it.
I must be honest.
You're probably not going toenjoy it, you're not going to
qualify for it.
But if you are serious aboutyour discipleship journey, you
don't have those guys in yourlife.
You're looking for thatpersonal board of advisors.
The Leadership Mastermind isthe way to go, fellas.
I'm telling you, the resourcesthere are incredible.
The conversations, theengagements, the way that we're
(13:46):

about.
So thelionwithinus is where youfind all your info.
All right, so have a great day,guys, get after, have a good
weekend.
Thanks for listening and justkeep unleashing the Lion Within.
I've got something big to share.
(14:06):
We're making a major shiftbecause we know the battle is
real and it's time more men hadaccess to the support they need.
For too long, guys have beentrying to carry the weight alone
pressure at work, tension athome, wounds from the past in a
world that demands strength butoffers no place to rest.
We see it, we've lived it, andthat's exactly why we built our
community.
It's a stronghold, a placewhere warriors can find rest,
(14:28):
truth and a band of brothersstanding beside them.
And starting now, we're makingit easier than ever to step in.
We've lowered the barrier tojust $15.99 a month.
That means for less than thecost of a drive-thru lunch, you
can join a brotherhood that'scentered on Christ and built for
growth.
Inside you'll find access toour daily spiritual kickoffs
every Monday through Friday, ourLion Lunches, our Bible Studies
(14:50):
, our Friday Forge Gatheringsall that and so much more.
Every man needs a stronghold,and you don't have to fight
alone.
If you've been waiting for theright time to jump in, this is
it.
Go to thelionwithinus and jointhe community and see for
yourself what happens when irontruly sharpens iron.
