WEBVTT - Pursuing Manhood with God 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:04.360 Coming to you from the Morning Star Mission sponsored studio. 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:08.120 This is Carl and crew on Moody Radio. 0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:13.480 Unmerited favor. Unlimited power. The grace of God. Sometimes we 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:15.240 get the first part of that one. That's how you 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:16.520 pass seminary courses. 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:17.799 Unmerited favor. 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.920 Yeah, but. But the aspect of grace that we often 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:28.400 forget is this unparalleled, unimaginable power likened unto the raising 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.400 of Christ from the dead. It's an amazing thing, God's grace. 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.400 It's his grace. Alone, guys. That's it. Um, as we're 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.599 steaming towards Mother's Day, I've had a passion this week 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.200 to do something very different. And we're going to flip 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.920 this around for Father's Day as well. But if you 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:48.240 think about women and the role of men to be 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:53.480 initiating God word in the context of marriage providing men, 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.680 you kind of got to unwind this thing because for 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.440 I think a lot of us, we go, all right, 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.930 what's the. Give me the. Give me the five high 0:01:01.970 --> 0:01:04.130 points of what a man is to do to love 0:01:04.170 --> 0:01:06.730 a woman. Well, right. I mean, it's easy to go 0:01:06.730 --> 0:01:09.890 to that one, but what if the bigger issue here 0:01:09.890 --> 0:01:13.610 is we got to unwind ourselves from some stuff, and 0:01:13.610 --> 0:01:15.290 we've seen that in our lives, right, Ali? 0:01:15.330 --> 0:01:18.690 Yeah. And I think this is obviously the direct application 0:01:18.690 --> 0:01:21.250 would be the context of marriage. But you think about 0:01:21.250 --> 0:01:27.610 how much our society needs, needs healthy, strong, initiating men. 0:01:27.650 --> 0:01:30.809 So even if you're a single woman, you may not 0:01:30.810 --> 0:01:35.130 have a direct relationship with a man right now. And 0:01:35.130 --> 0:01:39.250 even if you never do, we need strong men. 0:01:39.610 --> 0:01:44.610 Yeah. Yes. And you have an indirect relationship insomuch as 0:01:44.890 --> 0:01:47.450 these men populate. Let's just take a local church. These 0:01:47.450 --> 0:01:51.130 men populated church. So the more we can get men 0:01:51.450 --> 0:01:54.930 being men, let's just break it down really simply here. That's. 0:01:54.930 --> 0:01:57.890 That's one of the most profound things you're going to experience. 0:01:57.930 --> 0:02:02.990 Godly men. but to become that man that God wants 0:02:02.990 --> 0:02:07.030 us to be. Sometimes before we go into the what 0:02:07.030 --> 0:02:11.310 we're standing for, we've got to unwind something that we 0:02:11.310 --> 0:02:15.510 need to be standing against. And I've been intrigued. And 0:02:15.510 --> 0:02:18.230 I was up early this morning, and this was actually 0:02:18.230 --> 0:02:20.510 two days ago. I first kind of hit on this 0:02:20.510 --> 0:02:25.350 again in first Timothy chapter six. You get this great 0:02:25.350 --> 0:02:28.070 call on a man's life. But as for you, O 0:02:28.110 --> 0:02:31.470 man of God, flee these things. Well, here's the point 0:02:31.470 --> 0:02:37.070 before you go on to pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness, 0:02:37.070 --> 0:02:40.310 which are all phenomenal attributes for men. That's in verse 0:02:40.310 --> 0:02:43.910 11 of first Timothy six. You got to look and go. 0:02:43.950 --> 0:02:48.470 Hold it. What are we fleeing? That's my point. Sometimes 0:02:48.470 --> 0:02:51.870 before you take the three steps to great manhood, you 0:02:51.910 --> 0:02:54.310 got to unwind the stuff that got our turkey in 0:02:54.310 --> 0:02:54.989 a Squisher. 0:02:55.510 --> 0:02:56.829 Got to flee some things. 0:02:56.830 --> 0:03:00.359 You got to flee some stuff. And the context of 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.960 this passage is amazing because it talks about godliness with 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.399 contentment is great gain. And then we find this famous 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.280 passage for the love of money is the root of 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:15.680 all kinds of evil. It is through this craving that 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.440 some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:23.799 with many pangs. Isn't that fascinating? The unwinding, the fleeing 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.000 that needs to be done is not a letting. And 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.720 I'm going to put it in brass tacks terms here. 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:36.320 Don't let the American dream nudge out God's vision for 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.920 your life. Man, I get chills just thinking about that. 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:46.560 The American Dream is awesome, but it is minuscule compared 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.840 to God's vision for your life. And if your dream 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.200 ends with the American dream, and I'm just putting that 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:56.640 in air quotes here, it's the American dream is really 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.970 predicated upon getting stuff. And he who dies with the 0:04:00.970 --> 0:04:04.210 most toys wins. Right. I mean, come on. 0:04:04.250 --> 0:04:08.330 Right. And I mean, and having having enough being able 0:04:08.370 --> 0:04:12.450 to provide for a family, having owning your own home, 0:04:12.490 --> 0:04:16.089 having the ability to take vacations, all of that's kind 0:04:16.089 --> 0:04:20.409 of tied into our own sense of autonomy. Comfort? 0:04:21.370 --> 0:04:27.730 Yes. And those are all. There's autonomy, comfort, independence. Those 0:04:27.730 --> 0:04:32.210 are all great virtues when it gets tangled with. Now, 0:04:32.210 --> 0:04:36.050 I'm starting to love this stuff more than the contentment 0:04:36.050 --> 0:04:40.010 that's found in God. Yeah. That gets us in a problem. 0:04:40.050 --> 0:04:42.410 Dangerous. It's a good thing that God's given us that 0:04:42.410 --> 0:04:43.529 can get out of control. 0:04:43.970 --> 0:04:47.810 Yeah, exactly. We take good stuff from God and turn 0:04:47.810 --> 0:04:48.969 it into picking idols. 0:04:48.970 --> 0:04:49.730 All the time. 0:04:50.810 --> 0:04:53.289 So how are we going to unwind this? Oh, boy. 0:04:53.290 --> 0:04:55.370 Have we got a treat for you coming up. I mean, 0:04:55.370 --> 0:04:57.670 one of my faves. I can't wait to hug this 0:04:57.670 --> 0:05:01.110 guy soon. Doctor Crawford Loritts is going to be with us. 0:05:01.110 --> 0:05:03.830 We're going to talk about unwinding this. Why? Because to 0:05:03.870 --> 0:05:07.550 pursue manhood. There's some stuff we got to flee. Hang on. 0:05:07.550 --> 0:05:08.229 Boom crew. 0:05:08.710 --> 0:05:13.270 A basketball mom who's mastered the dad joke. Ali is 0:05:13.270 --> 0:05:16.990 in the crew. It's Carl and crew on Moody Radio. 0:05:16.990 --> 0:05:21.029 But as for you, O man of God, Paul talking 0:05:21.070 --> 0:05:24.550 to Timothy, flee these things if you leave that out. 0:05:24.550 --> 0:05:31.110 We got a problem here because it goes into pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness, 0:05:31.589 --> 0:05:35.150 fight the good fight of faith, take hold of eternal life. 0:05:35.150 --> 0:05:39.589 It's this vision for this incredible life in Christ. But 0:05:39.589 --> 0:05:43.190 we can't forget. Flee these things. And you ask, what 0:05:43.190 --> 0:05:46.229 are these things? Well, it's all linked around the love 0:05:46.230 --> 0:05:49.589 of money. He says, godliness with contentment is great gain, 0:05:49.589 --> 0:05:52.510 but the love of money is the root of all evil. 0:05:52.510 --> 0:05:55.470 And this is what we need to unwind. I think 0:05:55.470 --> 0:05:59.160 some guys get stuck as we're speaking right now. Some 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.600 guys are stuck, unable to take hold of this call 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:07.320 on our life to be godly men and therefore loving 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.279 the women around us. And as we're steaming towards Mother's Day, 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:14.400 being the husbands that our wives need because subtly, the 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.000 American Dream has become an idol. And I love the 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:22.160 American Dream until we worship it. What do you say, Crawford? 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:23.120 Am I crazy? 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.680 No, Carl, you're not crazy at all. If you're crazy, 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.760 then so am I. You know the statement in verse 11. 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.240 But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:38.120 Easy for us to slip over to the identity statement there. 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:43.000 The identity statement. Oh, man of God, really sets you 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.200 up to be able to flee these things. In other words, 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.560 what brings value to you is God. And what brings 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.400 value to your life is God, and these other things 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:58.210 are surrogate Get statements of your identity. You don't need 0:06:58.250 --> 0:07:02.289 these things to make you valuable in the sight of God. 0:07:02.610 --> 0:07:06.010 So you bring stability to your moment in history. You know, 0:07:06.050 --> 0:07:08.369 I mean, as we read these texts and we skip 0:07:08.370 --> 0:07:10.810 over these obvious statements that are there. 0:07:10.850 --> 0:07:13.850 Doctor Crawford Loritts our guest right now, doctor Loritts, I 0:07:13.850 --> 0:07:15.930 was on a zoom call last night, and we it 0:07:15.930 --> 0:07:18.170 was a training call, and there was a young man 0:07:18.490 --> 0:07:21.450 he shared that the thing that sometimes trips him up 0:07:21.450 --> 0:07:24.890 the most. He said, you know, I grew up without much. 0:07:24.930 --> 0:07:26.650 There was a lot of lack. And he said, so 0:07:26.650 --> 0:07:28.570 one of the things that I feel like holds me 0:07:28.570 --> 0:07:31.610 back now is that I have such a need to 0:07:31.650 --> 0:07:33.890 try to control. I want to make sure I'm not 0:07:33.890 --> 0:07:37.090 in lack anymore. I have my budget, and sometimes that 0:07:37.090 --> 0:07:39.490 keeps me from maybe stepping out to do what God's 0:07:39.490 --> 0:07:42.530 called me to do. Men are often hardwired with this 0:07:42.530 --> 0:07:47.010 desire to be, to be stable, to be self-sufficient, particularly 0:07:47.010 --> 0:07:50.490 if they want to pursue a young woman. How do 0:07:50.490 --> 0:07:53.090 you balance this? Because that's an honorable desire. I want 0:07:53.130 --> 0:07:55.710 to be a good provider. I don't want to bring 0:07:55.710 --> 0:07:58.470 somebody else into into my life when I when I 0:07:58.470 --> 0:08:01.070 don't feel like I'm stable. But at the same time, 0:08:01.070 --> 0:08:05.190 this desire to have money can become in itself an idol. 0:08:05.230 --> 0:08:06.470 How do you balance that? 0:08:06.750 --> 0:08:10.110 Yeah. You know, you're asking. That's a that is the question, 0:08:10.150 --> 0:08:13.150 isn't it? I to have a desire to to take 0:08:13.150 --> 0:08:17.830 care of your family, uh, to even have extra things 0:08:17.830 --> 0:08:20.670 and to be able to enjoy life. God gives us 0:08:20.670 --> 0:08:24.350 all these things to enjoy and to discipline yourself, to 0:08:24.390 --> 0:08:27.790 move toward those goals. That is not sinful and wrong. 0:08:28.190 --> 0:08:32.430 What is sinful and wrong when you make the resource 0:08:32.429 --> 0:08:37.990 the source? In other words, your sources are sources. God. Uh. 0:08:37.990 --> 0:08:41.429 And with or without it, I'm going to be okay. 0:08:41.910 --> 0:08:45.350 Which means that each step along the way. Yes, I 0:08:45.350 --> 0:08:48.830 work hard. Yes, I have these goals. No, I don't 0:08:48.830 --> 0:08:51.590 want to, um, be what I used to be in 0:08:51.590 --> 0:08:55.160 terms of poverty in this kind of thing. If the 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.200 Lord will help me to do something about that. But 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:02.240 I have to constantly remember whether or not those dreams 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:06.360 get translated into reality. I'm not. I'm more than okay. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.439 My source of identity and strength is found in him. 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.760 It's when you make these things an identity statement. It's 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:18.280 when you make these things, uh, terminal goals. And it's 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:22.120 when you make these things, uh, expressions of pride and 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:26.760 arrogance and and you become dismissive of other people. That's 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.640 when they're idols. 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.680 Love it. Doctor Crawford Loritts our guest right now. When 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.199 we get back here, Crawford, I want you to unpack 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:40.839 a greater vision for pursuing righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:47.480 These attributes are something that a woman finds frankly irresistible. 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.880 I'm convinced of that. So how do we capture that vision? 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.090 Hold on to it so that the love of money 0:09:55.090 --> 0:09:59.050 doesn't get sucked into this idolatry. More with Doctor Crawford 0:09:59.050 --> 0:10:00.370 Loritts straight ahead. 0:10:00.850 --> 0:10:03.530 You can take him out of Alaska, but you can't 0:10:03.570 --> 0:10:07.410 take Alaska out of him. Carl is in the crew. 0:10:07.650 --> 0:10:10.210 It's Carl and crew on Moody Radio. 0:10:10.929 --> 0:10:14.130 As we steam towards Mother's Day. It gives us a 0:10:14.170 --> 0:10:18.130 golden opportunity and the opportunity to say, how do we 0:10:18.130 --> 0:10:25.450 bless moms, women, wives, how to men be men? Because 0:10:25.450 --> 0:10:35.209 the irresistible men, clearly righteous, godly, full of faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Oh, Nelly, 0:10:35.610 --> 0:10:40.090 that's irresistible. It really is. And what we find here 0:10:40.090 --> 0:10:42.930 in Paul speaking to Timothy, he says, listen, I want 0:10:42.929 --> 0:10:45.050 you to pursue these things, but you got to flee 0:10:45.050 --> 0:10:49.250 this stuff. And in order to flee this stuff, which 0:10:49.250 --> 0:10:51.050 is the love of money, which is the root of 0:10:51.050 --> 0:10:53.350 all evil. And by the way, we can say this 0:10:53.350 --> 0:10:56.350 is not just reserved for wealthy people. You can have 0:10:56.350 --> 0:10:58.990 very little means and still have your heart tangled around 0:10:58.990 --> 0:11:01.110 the love of money. We know that I've done that 0:11:01.110 --> 0:11:03.949 as a young man. We can all do it. But 0:11:03.950 --> 0:11:06.390 the question is, how do we get on to this 0:11:06.390 --> 0:11:11.510 greater life? We need a vision for it. Doctor Crawford 0:11:11.510 --> 0:11:15.310 loritts with us here this morning. Crawford, it seems that 0:11:15.309 --> 0:11:19.150 we need to cast this holy grandeur of a vision 0:11:19.150 --> 0:11:21.550 for what can be if we're going to get ourselves 0:11:21.830 --> 0:11:25.590 kind of untangled from what is holding us back. What 0:11:25.590 --> 0:11:26.190 do you say? 0:11:26.510 --> 0:11:29.989 I think you're absolutely right. I think you know, Carl, 0:11:30.510 --> 0:11:34.030 the way to approach all of this is to make 0:11:34.030 --> 0:11:37.990 up our minds, to live in the presence of God 0:11:37.990 --> 0:11:42.030 and cultivate our own communion with God. And you've got 0:11:42.070 --> 0:11:45.230 you've got to decide to do that. You've got to 0:11:45.230 --> 0:11:49.750 decide to do that. What we pursue becomes the stuff 0:11:49.750 --> 0:11:52.600 that owns us. And so if I'm pursuing the heart 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.559 of God and I'm on a daily basis spending time 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.560 alone in his word, and it doesn't just become a 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.400 point of reference, it becomes a context of my life. 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.320 And that's a major decision you have to make. There 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.400 are a lot of Christians who are believers, and but 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:12.240 we assign ourselves a constant struggle because we won't make 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:16.319 up our minds that Jesus is going to be everything 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.679 to me in a very practical way. That means I'm 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.360 going to apply. And by God's grace and the power 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.000 of the Holy Spirit, I'm going to apply the truth 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.200 of God's Word. That truth is not given just to 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:33.000 motivate my thinking and kind of like stir up my emotions, 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.760 but to transform my life. 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:35.320 Yes. 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.600 You know it. You know this, Carl. You've written a 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:42.240 marvelous book about this. It's the choices and decisions we make. 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.040 Your line when you're born, you look like your parents. 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:48.560 But when you die, you look like your decisions. And 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:53.610 it's making the decisions, you know. Contentment is not something 0:12:53.610 --> 0:12:57.610 that just kind of like out of the air involuntarily 0:12:57.770 --> 0:13:02.890 cascades over us. Contentment is a decision. Contentment is a choice. 0:13:03.450 --> 0:13:07.730 I choose Karen, and I will be married 54 years 0:13:07.730 --> 0:13:11.090 here in a couple of weeks. And but every day 0:13:11.130 --> 0:13:16.530 of our married life, I we said I do. May 22nd, 1971. 0:13:16.530 --> 0:13:19.410 But every day of our married life, we have to 0:13:19.410 --> 0:13:23.730 decide that if she decides that she is a one 0:13:23.730 --> 0:13:26.650 man woman and I decide that I am a one 0:13:26.650 --> 0:13:30.650 woman man, and everything in my life is determined by that. 0:13:30.929 --> 0:13:33.809 And so it is with our walk and relationship with God. 0:13:34.210 --> 0:13:40.770 We can't keep bouncing back between these, you know, competing identities. 0:13:40.970 --> 0:13:43.250 It's kind of like what Joshua said to the children 0:13:43.250 --> 0:13:46.329 of Israel in the valley of Shechem says, okay, choose 0:13:46.330 --> 0:13:48.170 this day. Who are you going to serve? 0:13:48.210 --> 0:13:49.390 Yeah. That's right. 0:13:49.429 --> 0:13:52.550 Doctor Crawford Loritts our guest this morning. Doctor, I know 0:13:52.550 --> 0:13:55.829 that one of your big passions is to help raise 0:13:55.830 --> 0:13:59.790 up the next generation of Christian leaders. For so many men, 0:13:59.830 --> 0:14:02.630 they've not seen this modeled out. I heard someone yesterday 0:14:02.670 --> 0:14:05.630 say I didn't have a blueprint for this. I didn't 0:14:05.630 --> 0:14:08.030 know what it looked like to be a good dad, 0:14:08.070 --> 0:14:09.990 a good husband. And that's the cry of the heart 0:14:09.990 --> 0:14:13.150 of many men, is that they're not going to maybe 0:14:13.190 --> 0:14:16.590 say it, but they desperately need another man to come 0:14:16.590 --> 0:14:20.190 alongside to speak into their lives. How can men pursue 0:14:20.230 --> 0:14:22.830 that when maybe it goes against the grain of everything 0:14:22.830 --> 0:14:25.030 they've ever known to say, hey, I need some help here. 0:14:25.350 --> 0:14:28.550 You know, the way you phrase that question, you've answered it. 0:14:28.590 --> 0:14:31.030 The truth of the matter is, no, we didn't have 0:14:31.030 --> 0:14:35.990 a blueprint. We didn't have maybe an incarnational blueprint, meaning 0:14:36.030 --> 0:14:38.350 a father that did it, another man that did it. 0:14:38.350 --> 0:14:41.790 But we do have a blueprint. We do have a blueprint. 0:14:41.790 --> 0:14:45.350 It's found in 66 books of the Bible. We do 0:14:45.350 --> 0:14:47.870 have a blueprint. It's found in the Holy Spirit that 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.000 lives inside of our hearts and lives. We do have 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:55.080 a blueprint. It's found in other men that we need 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.600 to invite into our lives as a man, and submit 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.800 ourselves to them at a certain point. This sounds cold, 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.360 and I don't mean for it to sound cold, but 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:09.320 at a certain point, we've got to stop grieving our 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.480 loss to the point in which it hinders us from 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:16.960 creating our future. Uh, you you have to say to yourself, 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:21.520 all of us are deficient. All of us are. All 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:25.080 of us have various deficits, and all of us have. 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.880 And I'm using air quotes here have reasons not to 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:34.080 keep moving and stumbling forward. But the clock is ticking. And, uh, 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:38.160 you know, Father Time is undefeated, and we've got to 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.520 sit down and say to ourselves, okay, this is what 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:44.680 I don't have, but this is what I do have. Amen. Okay. 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.290 What can I do to press into the heart of 0:15:48.290 --> 0:15:51.810 God and really make the declarative statement. Like David said, 0:15:51.810 --> 0:15:54.370 when my mother and father forsake me, then the Lord 0:15:54.370 --> 0:15:57.970 will take me up, and then I need to become 0:15:57.970 --> 0:16:03.170 an aggressive, an aggressive follower, meaning, you know, be humble 0:16:03.170 --> 0:16:07.050 enough to go to somebody that you admire and say, hey, look, 0:16:07.330 --> 0:16:10.050 I like to I like to spend some time with you, man, 0:16:10.090 --> 0:16:12.890 and maybe, maybe have a cup of coffee with you 0:16:12.890 --> 0:16:15.290 at once in a while. And there's some empty spots 0:16:15.290 --> 0:16:17.130 in my life that I think I can learn from 0:16:17.130 --> 0:16:21.330 you and aggressively move toward what you can get. And 0:16:21.330 --> 0:16:24.090 I think as older men, maybe the guys that are 0:16:24.090 --> 0:16:28.370 listening right now, you know, we need to make ourselves 0:16:28.370 --> 0:16:30.730 available to some of the men that we see who 0:16:30.770 --> 0:16:33.730 are perhaps struggling and have have these spots in their 0:16:33.730 --> 0:16:37.610 lives and these deficits and move toward them. You know, 0:16:37.650 --> 0:16:41.090 the answers are all around us. The question is, will 0:16:41.090 --> 0:16:45.090 I take the initiative to get what I need and 0:16:45.090 --> 0:16:49.470 God will help us. I mean, the book is transformative, right? 0:16:49.790 --> 0:16:52.590 And so that that's what I say to younger guys 0:16:52.590 --> 0:16:53.470 all the time. 0:16:54.030 --> 0:16:58.630 She's a choreographer extraordinaire and everything is Greek to her. 0:16:59.030 --> 0:17:02.750 Super die is in the crew. It's Carl and crew 0:17:02.790 --> 0:17:04.030 on Moody Radio. 0:17:04.270 --> 0:17:07.629 Okay, we got mom. Days are steaming toward here. And 0:17:07.670 --> 0:17:12.510 you know what? Sometimes the best advice comes from moms. 0:17:13.750 --> 0:17:16.430 Usually in a funny package, though. Have you ever noticed that? 0:17:16.750 --> 0:17:18.190 Like that mom advice? 0:17:18.590 --> 0:17:19.310 What do you mean. 0:17:20.310 --> 0:17:22.430 Maybe? Maybe it was just my mom. She always had 0:17:22.430 --> 0:17:24.550 a way of saying things that had like, a little 0:17:24.550 --> 0:17:27.750 bit of a twist to it, and they kind of 0:17:27.790 --> 0:17:30.270 became sort of the mom isms. So there was advice 0:17:30.270 --> 0:17:32.070 embedded in there. But I. 0:17:32.230 --> 0:17:32.710 Do this. 0:17:32.710 --> 0:17:37.470 Or like she would always tell us, um, you know, 0:17:37.510 --> 0:17:41.990 her the advice would have been find ways to entertain yourself. 0:17:41.990 --> 0:17:45.030 Like you don't need to have other people. You don't 0:17:45.030 --> 0:17:48.200 need to have a TV. But. But how it came 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.160 out was if you're bored, do a cartwheel. That was 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:54.359 her thing. She said it all the time. We'd say, mom, 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.199 I'm bored, I need bored. Do a cartwheel. And we 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.800 knew it was mom telling us find ways to entertain yourself, 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:01.840 which was great advice, but it always came with a 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:02.720 little twist. 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:04.320 That's awesome. 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:06.800 We'd love to hear from you this morning. What's the 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.639 best advice? You could have had a twist to it, 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.640 but it was good, solid mom advice and you still 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:20.480 hear it ringing in your ears today. 800 555 7898 (800) 555-7898. 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.320 Yeah.

Young Thunder. 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:29.760 I'm sure I can find something. 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:30.440 Yeah. You got. 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:31.160 To be days like. 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.320 This. Mama said there'd be days like this. There'd be days. 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:35.280 That's a good one I like it. 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:37.000 By the way, does that song go on to give 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.560 the solution? Mama said get your turkey out of the 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.520 squisher by doing this. And that does. 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.250 It. Does it? I don't think so. 0:18:45.290 --> 0:18:47.770 Look up the lyrics because I don't know much past. 0:18:47.810 --> 0:18:48.609 Mama said there'd. 0:18:48.650 --> 0:18:50.290 Be days. 0:18:50.290 --> 0:18:51.490 Like this. Mama said. 0:18:51.930 --> 0:18:55.609 And that's all I said. Mama said oh too funny. 0:18:55.650 --> 0:18:58.610 Find out is there. Is there a solution in that lyrics. 0:18:58.609 --> 0:19:00.729 Or is it just said that mama said there'd be 0:19:00.730 --> 0:19:03.690 days like this? Because that's not the best advice. I mean, 0:19:03.690 --> 0:19:05.250 there's got to be better advice than that. 0:19:05.290 --> 0:19:05.970 Mama said. 0:19:05.970 --> 0:19:10.609 What best advice your mom gave you while there searching 0:19:10.609 --> 0:19:14.730 on this one, guys? 855 five 7898.

I'm curious. 0:19:45.430 --> 0:19:46.030 I would think. 0:19:46.070 --> 0:19:46.670 Yeah. Well. 0:19:46.990 --> 0:19:50.030 I mean, just given the temperatures. Yeah. I mean, it 0:19:50.030 --> 0:19:53.429 was like, you know, because it's it's kind of a 0:19:53.430 --> 0:19:56.630 universal thing that children do not put on the proper 0:19:56.630 --> 0:19:57.990 clothing for the situation. 0:19:58.030 --> 0:19:58.510 That's true. 0:19:59.030 --> 0:19:59.550 That's true. 0:20:00.150 --> 0:20:02.670 Yeah. I mean, it's what's funny is kids get it 0:20:02.670 --> 0:20:05.710 wrong on both sides because you lived in when I 0:20:05.750 --> 0:20:08.389 lived in Tempe, Arizona when I was in sixth grade 0:20:08.430 --> 0:20:11.990 and dad's going to Arizona State University, I, I would 0:20:12.190 --> 0:20:15.750 it was really hip. I think bell bottom corduroys were 0:20:15.750 --> 0:20:21.429 coming in style and it's like 103 out and mom's like, 0:20:21.430 --> 0:20:24.590 what are you doing with the corduroys on? Those are 0:20:24.590 --> 0:20:27.950 incredibly hot. No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. It's 0:20:27.950 --> 0:20:30.870 not overheating me, mom, I promise you. Well, it was 0:20:30.910 --> 0:20:31.949 and mom knew it. 0:20:31.990 --> 0:20:32.270 You got. 0:20:32.310 --> 0:20:34.149 But she's got to fight for the fact that you 0:20:34.150 --> 0:20:35.830 fought to wear them. And then you got to pretend 0:20:35.830 --> 0:20:38.390 you're not exactly right. 0:20:38.430 --> 0:20:40.430 And the same is true in cold weather. Put on 0:20:40.430 --> 0:20:42.840 your coat, kid. No, it's not I'm fine. 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:43.959 I'm good. 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:48.440 Don't wear coats. What's what?

Let 0:27:35.720 --> 0:27:38.140 us rejoice and be glad in it. This person says, 0:27:38.140 --> 0:27:40.580 I think about it every time I leave the house. 0:27:40.740 --> 0:27:41.020 Oh. 0:27:42.580 --> 0:27:44.859 You know something I was so grateful for when I 0:27:44.940 --> 0:27:47.859 started college, I really missed home. I really missed seeing 0:27:47.859 --> 0:27:48.980 my parents, and I called. 0:27:48.980 --> 0:27:49.380 Home. 0:27:49.380 --> 0:27:52.660 Sick. I got home sick, and so I called my mom, 0:27:52.780 --> 0:27:54.540 you know, like a week in. And we were just 0:27:54.540 --> 0:27:56.180 talking and catching up, and I said, you know, I'm 0:27:56.180 --> 0:27:59.660 thinking I might come home, uh, and see you guys 0:27:59.660 --> 0:28:03.580 for the weekend. And she said, no, you're not. And 0:28:03.580 --> 0:28:05.620 I said, what do you mean? And she said, you 0:28:05.619 --> 0:28:08.460 have to stay there for three months. You can't come home. 0:28:08.740 --> 0:28:11.820 And I said, why can't I come home? And she said, 0:28:11.820 --> 0:28:14.260 because if you come home, you're going to start wanting 0:28:14.300 --> 0:28:16.100 to come home every weekend and you're not going to 0:28:16.100 --> 0:28:18.540 make any friends. She said you need to stay there 0:28:18.540 --> 0:28:20.139 and hang out with some people on the weekend and 0:28:20.140 --> 0:28:22.460 make some friends. And and I got really connected with 0:28:22.460 --> 0:28:25.419 the people on my dorm floor because my mom wouldn't 0:28:25.420 --> 0:28:27.899 let me come home. I was grateful for that. 0:28:28.140 --> 0:28:31.980 That's actually really good, mom. 0:28:31.980 --> 0:28:33.500 And yeah, she was great. 0:28:33.540 --> 0:28:37.430 That is good, mom. And she knew you. She knew you? 0:28:37.470 --> 0:28:37.830 Yeah. 0:28:38.110 --> 0:28:40.470 Yeah. You're the. You're the youngest of four bros, right? 0:28:40.510 --> 0:28:43.670 Yep. Youngest of four. And so, you know, she missed me, too, 0:28:43.910 --> 0:28:44.470 but she. 0:28:44.510 --> 0:28:46.710 Yeah, of course she did. She missed you. But she 0:28:46.710 --> 0:28:49.030 knew what was better for you. She know you can't 0:28:49.030 --> 0:28:49.510 come home. 0:28:49.550 --> 0:28:50.790 She said you can't come home. 0:28:51.550 --> 0:28:52.590 Oh, man. 0:28:53.030 --> 0:28:56.910 That is hilarious. Eddie. First time caller in Illinois. What 0:28:56.910 --> 0:28:57.670 do you say, Eddie? 0:28:58.590 --> 0:29:00.550 How's it going? How's it going? Good morning. Yeah, so 0:29:00.590 --> 0:29:02.110 my mom would always tell us, make sure that you 0:29:02.110 --> 0:29:04.510 have a backbone and you always stick up for yourself, 0:29:04.510 --> 0:29:06.870 no matter what. No matter what the situation is, you 0:29:06.870 --> 0:29:08.510 got to make sure you do that, or else everybody's 0:29:08.510 --> 0:29:10.110 going to go ahead and try to, you know, tumble 0:29:10.110 --> 0:29:10.630 over you. 0:29:10.950 --> 0:29:11.470 Yeah. You know. 0:29:11.470 --> 0:29:13.670 What? There's some truth to that. And I mean, you 0:29:13.670 --> 0:29:16.550 can do that in a weird and dysfunctional way, but 0:29:16.550 --> 0:29:18.550 when you do it in the right way and just 0:29:18.550 --> 0:29:21.630 have and that's commonly called today boundaries, where it's not 0:29:21.630 --> 0:29:23.990 like somebody's going to walk over the top of me. 0:29:24.310 --> 0:29:28.710 That's some good stuff. Best advice you ever got, um, 0:29:29.110 --> 0:29:30.630 Ali from your mama? 0:29:30.870 --> 0:29:33.630 You know one thing. My mom, like I said, she 0:29:33.630 --> 0:29:36.920 always had advice with a twist, but she would always 0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:38.800 try to pin us down when we would come home 0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:41.840 and say things like, well, everybody's fill in the blank. 0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:44.560 Or they said, and she always say, who? Who are they? 0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:46.000 Who is? Who are they? 0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:46.880 I love that. 0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:49.680 And so what I took from it, she always tried 0:29:49.680 --> 0:29:51.880 to pin down that this idea that we had that 0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:55.480 everybody was talking about something or everybody. She would try 0:29:55.480 --> 0:29:57.560 to get us to isolate and then it's like, well, 0:29:57.640 --> 0:30:00.440 maybe I had one name if I could actually. Well, 0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:04.880 actually it was, it was, it was Susie. Okay. And 0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:07.280 it sort of she took the power out of this 0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:11.040 idea that everybody or they were doing something and therefore 0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:14.360 my in in I should be influenced some way by 0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:15.280 the masses. 0:30:15.720 --> 0:30:16.040 Yeah. 0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:22.280 Because feelings are valid, but they are often incorrect. 0:30:22.320 --> 0:30:22.840 Yes. 0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:26.400 And we need to take your mom's advice now. And 0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:28.800 it manifests itself in a lot of ways. I'm feeling this. 0:30:28.800 --> 0:30:32.960 I'm feeling that. Oh, because that this this situation. What 0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:35.420 what what's really going on here? Just boil it down. 0:30:35.420 --> 0:30:36.860 What are they going to think? 0:30:37.100 --> 0:30:41.460 Yeah, yeah, really good stuff. My mom's best advice was 0:30:41.460 --> 0:30:45.540 I came home to Alaska from Multnomah Bible College and 0:30:45.540 --> 0:30:49.420 I had with me the original Facebook. Facebook used to 0:30:49.420 --> 0:30:53.180 be just a list of names and pictures. And I 0:30:53.180 --> 0:30:55.260 showed her the girl that I was really interested in. 0:30:55.300 --> 0:30:57.340 My mom looked at that picture and she looked at 0:30:57.340 --> 0:31:01.700 me and she said, you better not mess this up 0:31:01.700 --> 0:31:04.540 because this is the girl that you need to marry. 0:31:04.580 --> 0:31:05.020 I love. 0:31:05.020 --> 0:31:08.340 It. And I did. And her name's Jubes. 0:31:08.380 --> 0:31:09.380 Oh, I love it. 0:31:09.420 --> 0:31:11.020 Yeah. Good advice. Advice? 0:31:11.540 --> 0:31:14.460 You're listening to Curl and crew on Moody Radio. 0:31:15.020 --> 0:31:17.620 We're asking you, what did your mom say? We got 0:31:17.620 --> 0:31:20.060 two of them back to back that are almost identical. 0:31:21.540 --> 0:31:26.260 Wait until your father gets home. Those are dreaded words. 0:31:26.260 --> 0:31:29.020 My mom didn't threaten me with it. It was a promise. 0:31:29.980 --> 0:31:34.270 It was a promise. And I remember, man, I'm sitting 0:31:34.270 --> 0:31:37.790 in my bedroom one day and I'm hearing dad get 0:31:37.790 --> 0:31:39.750 the debrief from mom on something. 0:31:40.070 --> 0:31:40.950 This is the worst. 0:31:40.990 --> 0:31:42.190 And it's the worst because you hear. 0:31:44.190 --> 0:31:44.390 Oh. 0:31:49.510 --> 0:31:50.030 And then. 0:31:50.270 --> 0:31:55.790 And then everything shut down. Yeah. Then the doorknob goes 0:31:55.790 --> 0:31:56.470 on my door. 0:31:56.510 --> 0:31:57.150 Oh, no. 0:31:57.190 --> 0:32:00.190 Turns the slow turn. I think dad did that for 0:32:00.190 --> 0:32:01.030 dramatic purpose. 0:32:01.070 --> 0:32:02.790 Or you hear the shake of the footsteps up the 0:32:02.790 --> 0:32:04.950 staircase or something like that, and you're like, oh, no, 0:32:04.950 --> 0:32:05.910 those are coming to me. 0:32:05.950 --> 0:32:08.870 Paralyze you with fear. Then my dad did the worst 0:32:08.870 --> 0:32:11.350 thing ever. Whenever he punished me, he usually had tears 0:32:11.350 --> 0:32:13.950 in his eyes. Which is a great dad, by the way. 0:32:13.990 --> 0:32:14.750 He's a good dad. 0:32:14.950 --> 0:32:17.469 And one time, he, uh, he had to give me 0:32:17.470 --> 0:32:20.190 a swat. I had it coming. I'm not even going 0:32:20.190 --> 0:32:23.430 to tell you what I did. It was not good. And, uh, 0:32:24.190 --> 0:32:26.870 he pulled out the line. He was famous for this. 0:32:26.870 --> 0:32:28.790 This hurts me. Carl, he didn't say more than it 0:32:28.790 --> 0:32:32.520 hurts you because he knew that it hurt. He said, 0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:34.000 this hurts me to have to do this because I 0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:39.320 love you, but you can't. You can't keep doing this nonsense. Boy, 0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:41.720 did I get the lesson on that one. That day 0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:45.680 was a rough day. Ouch. But it was good. Dad 0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:49.800 loved me. Sometimes your parents said something, and I mean 0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:53.120 take it to the bank. They said it. What was it? 0:32:53.160 --> 0:32:55.280 We're getting so much feedback here, Alan. 0:32:55.320 --> 0:33:01.440 Yeah. Don't make me stop this car. Do you want 0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:03.520 some cheese with that whine? 0:33:04.520 --> 0:33:06.720 Oh, good. That's good. 0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:10.560 Lots of. Wait until your father gets home. Let's see. 0:33:10.720 --> 0:33:13.400 You will eat it before you wait. You will eat 0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:16.920 it before you. Before it eats you. What? 0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:18.560 You will eat it before it eats you. 0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:21.000 Leftover food. You know. 0:33:21.040 --> 0:33:21.360 Mom's. 0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:22.000 Interesting. 0:33:22.000 --> 0:33:24.200 Or something before it takes over you. 0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:26.760 Maybe. I feel like a lot of the mom advice. 0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:29.760 You got to kind of just extract the good out 0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:32.140 of it, because sometimes it got a little wild. Let's 0:33:32.140 --> 0:33:34.460 go to Ellie. First time caller from Chicago. What did 0:33:34.460 --> 0:33:35.660 your mom always say? 0:33:37.060 --> 0:33:40.500 She said, um, if you don't have anything nice to say, 0:33:40.540 --> 0:33:41.500 don't say it. 0:33:42.180 --> 0:33:43.300 It's good advice. 0:33:43.740 --> 0:33:46.420 I feel like her inflection. Don't say it. Don't say it. 0:33:46.460 --> 0:33:46.900 That's a good. 0:33:46.900 --> 0:33:48.180 One. That's good. 0:33:49.100 --> 0:33:51.380 Yeah. I mean, there's good ones, man.

Mama was going to say this 0:33:58.300 --> 0:34:00.620 was usually in pressure packed situations. 0:34:01.220 --> 0:34:02.060 It's predictable. 0:34:02.620 --> 0:34:07.100 805 five five 7898. Come in from far and wide. 0:34:07.100 --> 0:34:09.660 We're taking your calls. Would your mom say take it 0:34:09.660 --> 0:34:11.900 to the bank?

What's that 0:34:14.500 --> 0:34:16.100 thing your mom always said? 0:34:18.700 --> 0:34:20.900 Mom always said to me. 0:34:21.300 --> 0:34:27.940 God doesn't like ugly. And that was when we were misbehaving, 0:34:28.380 --> 0:34:32.710 and it would just Shake us in our core and, 0:34:32.750 --> 0:34:35.710 you know, cause reflection at that time. Of course. 0:34:36.070 --> 0:34:37.430 God doesn't like ugly. 0:34:37.469 --> 0:34:39.910 I definitely heard that one. Calm. That one. 0:34:39.950 --> 0:34:43.230 Oh that's great, Brent in Chicago. What do you say, Brent? 0:34:45.190 --> 0:34:49.390 My mom always told my sister and I there's always 0:34:49.390 --> 0:34:55.230 consequence to sin.

All right, 0:35:04.870 --> 0:35:05.790 let's keep cooking here. 0:35:06.030 --> 0:35:08.710 Let's go to Christian from Chicago. Go ahead. Give it 0:35:08.710 --> 0:35:10.150 to us. What did mom always say? 0:35:11.950 --> 0:35:14.230 You know, whenever I would complain about not being able 0:35:14.230 --> 0:35:17.589 to do something, and I'd say I can't. She'd say, 0:35:17.590 --> 0:35:20.669 I can't. Never tried. And boy, does that roll around 0:35:20.670 --> 0:35:21.430 in my head. 0:35:21.469 --> 0:35:22.830 Oh that's good. 0:35:23.350 --> 0:35:25.430 I can't never try. 0:35:25.469 --> 0:35:26.469 That's a great one. 0:35:26.510 --> 0:35:29.670 I love it.

So mom used to say, I'm not 0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:07.759 running a cafeteria. That's often said if there's, like, requests 0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:11.160 for different foods. So it could also be interpreted as 0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:14.520 I'm not running a diner. Any attempt to have a 0:36:14.520 --> 0:36:19.400 variation on the meal that's presented before you usually got abomasum? 0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:20.000 So good. 0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:23.120 Eleanor, Illinois.

At our college, a Facebook, 0:41:17.030 --> 0:41:20.629 which was before Facebook or before what was the first one? 0:41:20.630 --> 0:41:21.390 Before Facebook? 0:41:21.390 --> 0:41:22.110 What was Myspace? 0:41:22.110 --> 0:41:22.510 Myspace? 0:41:22.510 --> 0:41:25.600 Myspace?
