My God is Humble and He Loves Me Apr 01, 2024

Show notes

Most conversations surrounding the gospel talk about the physical pain, suffering and death that Christ experienced on our behalf. Today I want to talk about something else Jesus endured for our sakes, and that's humiliation. Some people think God is egotistical, but when we really take time to consider what it meant for the Creator to humble Himself and suffer at the hands of His own creation, the "egotistical" label simply doesn't stick. Let's unpack.

Are We Overthinking "Purpose"? Mar 18, 2024

Show notes

The conversation around our individual purposes can be an exciting one or anxious one depending on who you ask. I've noticed a large amount of anxiety our generation has when it comes to this. We are in a point in our lives where we want to know our purpose, but it seems like God doesn't want to give us a clear answer to what that is. How do we continue to navigate our day-to-day, uneventful, unfulfilling lives until He answers us?

7 Ways to Know You Are Depending On God. – Part 1 Mar 04, 2024

Show notes

Dependency on the Lord is an essential part of our relationship with Him. Despite this, many of us are still hell-bent on doing everything ourselves. We typically refer to this act as "trusting in the flesh". God is not a fan of this. In fact, He's cursed the Israelites for doing this in Jeremiah 17. Not only is trusting in the flesh offensive to God, it can also lead to a life of anxiety, stress, fatigue and rocky relationships. In this episode, we do some self evaluation in order to gauge where we can improve in our dependency.

Man After God's Heart Feb 26, 2024

Show notes

Are you too busy for God? On the 200th episode of Churchboy Confessions – and after a long time away – I want us to reflect on the ways we've put our relationship with the Lord on the backburner. (We're wasting zero time). By defining what it means to be a man/woman after God's heart, my hope is that you understand your relationship with the Lord is more important than any responsibility you have in life.

How To Set Goals While Being Subject to God Dec 04, 2023

Show notes

We all have goals we are after. However at the same time, many of us carry the intention of not going before God and always being intentional about being in His will. Today I'll answer a couple Ask Churchboy submissions to discuss goal-setting and enduring the valley seasons of life. This is the last episode of the season and year of CC. Thank you all for a great 2023. Merry Christmas!

Dependency & Manhood w/ Malik Amos Nov 27, 2023

Show notes

As men we are told we need to be strong and independent. However, that does not mean we should be independent from the Lord. To be a man is to be DEPENDENT on the Lord. How can we, as men, acknowledge and embrace our need for God in a society that teaches us to hide our weaknesses?

Pride and Manhood w/ Jon Bloom Nov 20, 2023

Show notes

Back in February of this year, I did published a series of episodes about pride that were heavily inspired by 2 articles I found on DesiringGod.org. Today, in honor of our Men's Month, I got the priviledge to sit down with Jon Bloom - author of "Lay Aside the Weight of Pride" and "Lay Aside the Weight of Low Self Image". He is the co-founder of Desiring God, and we are going to talk about pride in manhood and how we, as men, can combat it.

It's Men's month. We're kicking off a series of episodes on topics for the M.O.G. (men of God) community with a conversation between my and my cousin Cheb on transparency.
