0:44
Welcome to man talk 133, another powerful episode man talk 130
0:51
where men man talk 133 where men tonight I need to slow down
0:57
y'all working right into the show.
0:59
Y'all make sure y'all check out all our check out all of my
1:02
platforms Instagram man talk 133 Facebook that's talking Spotify
1:14
that's man talk 133 iheart, Pandora, man talk 133.
1:24
So just check out all of the platforms.
1:25
You know so tonight, so let me start out like this.
1:28
So I went on a show last night shout out to the eagle's nest
1:35
shout out to brother Satan apostle Satan and apostle Ty for
1:42
having me on I appreciate that thank y'all for having me on the
1:44
show. So I went on this show last
1:47
night and I, you know, got a different perspective of Man
1:53
Talk 133 and how it is growing in, you know, growing in the, in
2:00
the social media space and also growing in just the, the man
2:05
space, right? So many, so, so many people.
2:08
Now I'm paying attention to Man Talk 133.
2:12
So I want to come on tonight to talk about men in ministry, You
2:17
know, so tonight ain't about it. It's not about putting women
2:22
down. It's about us calling men up
2:26
into their, to their place, rightful place where they should
2:30
be, right. So the Kingdom God has never
2:34
ever stopped needing men ever. It it always has needed men,
2:39
Kingdom men like fathers, husbands, teachers, servants,
2:43
protectors, prayer warriors. And yes, men can be prayer
2:48
warriors, you know, intercessory prayers and not prayer, prayers,
2:54
pray prayers. Y'all give them like gosh, I
2:56
can't get it out. Y'all listen, y'all don't say
3:02
inter accessory prayer warriors. There you go.
3:06
So but the day the church has become filled with women
3:11
faithfully carrying the responsibilities that men are
3:16
supposed to carry, right? So this is this tonight again is
3:21
we're going to talk about men in ministry, the crisis nobody
3:26
wants to talk about. So tonight I'm asking where are
3:30
the men and eat? More importantly, how do we get
3:35
them back? So tonight is not about guilt,
3:38
but it's about purpose. So you know, the scriptures say
3:42
in Genesis 215, the Lord God tucked man and put him in the
3:47
garden, eating, eating to work and keep it.
3:51
Notice this before Eve, before children, before ministry, God
3:57
gave Adam an assignment. Purpose always comes before
4:03
position. Ephesians 610 through 18.
4:08
I mean, you got to go read all that and, you know, write all
4:11
that down. But it's talking about the armor
4:12
of God, the armor of God. So Paul in this particular
4:22
Scripture wasn't talking and he wasn't writing about passive
4:26
men. He was talking about, he
4:27
describes soldiers, Kingdom men fight spiritually.
4:32
You know, don't put in the whole Oh my God, helpless salvation,
4:34
birthplace and righteousness. Have your feet show out with the
4:37
preparation of gossip, peace, all of that.
4:39
You know, he was talking about men, Kingdom men, fighting
4:44
spiritually, right? Stick with me.
4:47
I'm going somewhere. I promise you I am 1st
4:50
Corinthians 6 and 13. Watch ye stand fast in the
4:54
faith. Quit, quit.
4:58
You like men. Be strong, right?
5:01
Modern translation. Be watchful, stand firm, act
5:05
like men, be strong, right? So, so tonight, like I said,
5:11
it's not about bashing men. I promise, promise you it's not.
5:14
It's about trying to get men in the position where they could be
5:18
king of men. That's why we're talking about
5:21
men and ministry tonight. So this is God's original design
5:26
for men. God created man not simply to
5:30
just exist, but to represent him.
5:35
Now He gave men 5 assignments. 5 assignments is what God gave
5:41
men. The first one was a provider,
5:46
not just merely money, not going out, making as much money as you
5:49
can make. Nothing wrong with that, but
5:51
that's not what he's talking about.
5:52
But to provide peace, security, leadership and prayer.
5:57
These are the things men are supposed to be doing in their
6:00
homes outside of going out. Well, you know, I, I go out and
6:04
I work and I, you know, and I pay all these bills around here.
6:07
Great. But do you provide security to
6:12
provide leadership? Do you pray?
6:17
These are some of the things you know, Do you provide peace or
6:20
you're just a troublemaker? As soon as you walk everybody in
6:26
the house, warm up. There he go, old house.
6:32
I know he is, you know what I mean?
6:34
So do you provide all of these? You know the next one is
6:41
protector. See, Adam fell because he stayed
6:45
silent. The serpent spoke.
6:47
Adam watched. Sometimes silence is sin.
6:54
If you're quiet, you are complacent.
6:56
You're agreeing with what someone is doing.
6:59
See, he didn't do anything at all.
7:02
He watched as the serpent came in and did what he wanted to do
7:08
right with Eve. Priest the first, you are the
7:16
first pastor in every home. You, the father should be the
7:22
priest, the pastor of your home, not the TV, not social media.
7:30
So you got to set that tone of how you're going to be as the
7:34
priest of your home, how you going to lead your home, how you
7:37
going to God. You know how you're going to put
7:39
restraints on social media for your kids?
7:42
You know how much TV they watch or even how much TV you watch.
7:46
You could be sitting there binging on TVI don't know.
7:49
And and they trying to look for you for leadership.
7:52
And hey, if they see you over there chilling with your feet
7:55
up, guess what they going to do? Share what they feet up.
7:59
So you got to be the you got to be the priest of your home, set
8:02
the tone with prayer and and all these different things going to
8:06
church, you know, making sure that you are representing God
8:10
the right way, right prophet, speaking God's truth over your
8:16
family, not being a fortune teller and getting any little
8:20
crystal balls and doing all this stuff like that.
8:22
And just with the crystal balls. I shook it up and the little
8:24
thing floated up to the top and it said this no, not at all.
8:32
Speaking life like over your kids, you are successful, you
8:36
are powerful. You are God's man or woman.
8:39
You are, you know, going to be you're destined to be great even
8:45
speaking over your wife like hey, you know what, listen, you
8:49
are destined to do great things. You will do great things.
8:54
Speaking these things over your wife and kids makes a big
8:59
difference because if you don't do that, how they going to know
9:03
what they are and they not hearing from you And then they
9:07
may not hear from church and may not hear from the people you
9:11
know that they surround themselves around.
9:14
Good because they may not be Christian people all the way in.
9:19
Christian people get what I'm saying and maybe Christian and
9:22
maybe like 1 footy and 1 foot out and maybe Luke Wong is what
9:26
I'm saying. So you got to make sure you do
9:29
that too. A servant leader.
9:32
Jesus washed feet of his disciples.
9:37
So to the men, leadership isn't about power, it's about
9:41
responsibility. How responsible are you?
9:45
Are you responsible for your kids well-being?
9:49
Are you responsible for their growth?
9:51
Are you responsible for you know how they do in school, how they
9:56
do on their jobs or or you condone them going to to they
10:01
job busting out the boss, busting out the customers.
10:05
There's some folk out throwing drinks at people and then having
10:08
their friends recorded and think it's the funniest thing in the
10:11
world. So what are you your servant
10:15
leader or what? I mean they just ain't about
10:20
power. You know Jesus was the ultimate
10:24
leader and he still washed the disciples feet.
10:28
So keep it in mind, man. It is not about leadership,
10:33
isn't about power, it's about responsibility.
10:37
So when your family thinks of leadership, what do they think
10:40
of you? This is a question.
10:45
When your family thinks of leadership, do they think of
10:49
you? I make sure I said that, right.
10:51
When your family thinks of leadership, do they think of you
10:54
or do they think of you know they pastor or do they think of
10:57
a granddaddy or do they think of you know, Popeyes or leader or
11:03
they think of their uncle, you know, Uncle Michael, Uncle Leroy
11:09
or Uncle June. But whatever y'all call them,
11:11
right? Do they think of them or do they
11:13
think of you when they when your family thinks of leadership?
11:20
Because if they don't think of you when leadership pops up,
11:24
then hey, you, some of you doing that's off that you need to fix
11:29
immediately because they should be thinking of you 100%.
11:37
Now, these are interesting statistics.
11:39
About 60 to 65% of regular church attendees in the US are
11:44
women. Now, I gave a statistic last
11:47
night on the show The Eagle's Nest.
11:51
I said that I, I felt like, is that the ratio in church?
11:55
And now it's like 8020, Like you got 8080% women and 20% men in
12:01
the church. That's what I personally feel
12:04
like it is based on what I've seen.
12:05
Right. So about 60 to 65% of regular
12:11
church attendees in the US are women, while men are
12:15
significantly underrepresented in many congregations.
12:20
Studies also also consistently find that when fathers actively
12:27
practice their faith, their children are much their children
12:31
are much more likely to remain active in church into adulthood.
12:37
Example you got to be the example y'all, you cannot
12:42
fathers listen dads you got to be the example you got to be.
12:49
If you are not the example, then they getting that from somewhere
12:53
else and when they get it from the wrong people, we all know
12:57
what could happen. Now I know we always say they
13:00
can end up in games when they ain't got to really end up in
13:03
games. They can end up you know in some
13:08
activity they don't need to be in you know like you know like
13:13
hey psychic readings and all those other kinds of the
13:18
crystals and all this other stuff that they got going on
13:20
right now. If you are missing or you not
13:24
representing in church, this could happen.
13:28
Why are men missing? Why are did we going to get into
13:31
this before the break? Why are men missing?
13:36
So men are missing because I'm trying to find something like
13:42
hey, sorry y'all just bear with me.
13:45
Why men missing? This is the one of the biggest,
13:49
this is one of the biggest questions church's face today.
13:53
Reason #1 no spiritual fathers to all, to all the leaders out
13:59
there, all the pastors and you know, prophets and all of that
14:03
stuff like that, right? Know that you matter as a
14:07
spiritual father no matter what people say, no matter what
14:11
people think and no matter what they say.
14:12
He'll money pastor, He, you know, he this and he that.
14:17
You mean something? If there are no spiritual
14:21
fathers, guess what? Men are going to be missing
14:26
100%. Many men never saw biblical
14:31
masculinity, yo. They always saw a woman as their
14:40
leader, as their pastor. They never saw a man as being
14:47
their leader because the women always prayed.
14:53
They always did. You know, they always showed up,
14:56
men. Y'all got to show up.
14:58
Hey, we'll be right back after the break y'all.
15:00
Stats tell that each day 22 veterans commit suicide due to
15:05
PTSD. These stats shook us and urged
15:08
us to do our part. After hours and hours of
15:11
thinking, beekeeping for veterans was born.
15:15
Beekeeping for veterans combines beekeeping with mindfulness
15:19
meditation. Why combine them?
15:21
Here's why. Beekeeping causes positive rush
15:25
of adrenaline while beekeeping you have to be calm during it
15:29
you are mindful of your movements.
15:31
Each week a veteran will receive a mindful meditation to build
15:35
emotional and mental skill sets. Mindfulness is a set of three
15:39
attentional skills that work together concentration, sensory
15:43
clarity and equanimity, mental calmness, composure, evenness of
15:48
temper. Every time mindfulness is
15:50
practiced, we build these skills.
15:53
Be keeping for veterans not only helps veterans overcome
15:56
emotional trauma but also aids our environment as without bees
16:01
there is no food. Come forward.

17:30
Welcome back to Man Talk 133 with me and Unite.
17:34
Thank everybody for joining the show tonight.
17:36
Tonight we are talking about men in ministry, the crisis nobody
17:41
wants to talk about. Before I went to the break, I
17:44
was given reasons why men are missing in church.
17:50
You know, one of the reasons was no spiritual fathers.
17:54
The other one that I gave before the break was men never saw
17:58
biblical masculinity. They always saw female preachers
18:03
and teachers or the parents are always the the mom and
18:06
grandmother and I was always praying over them, stuff like
18:09
that. So that's all they saw.
18:12
That's an example they saw. So they never saw a man praying
18:15
for them over them or whatever. You know, not all some men,
18:20
right? Another thing they learn from
18:22
television, they learn from, they learn church from from TV.
18:28
Y'all they think about that, think about how absurd that is.
18:34
They learn church from TV and we know how TV is.
18:39
So how could you even learn church from TV?
18:43
Like they saw the pastors know that Reverend Ike and all of
18:49
them and they thought Reverend Ike was the guy, you know, they
18:52
saw Reverend Leon, Lonnie Love, Alton Martin.
18:54
They thought he was supposed they supposed to be like that,
18:57
you know what I mean? So that's how they learn and
19:01
that's why they missing and learn from music.
19:04
You know, they they learn from athletes, they learn from street
19:10
culture. You know, we got people out
19:13
there now on the street corners that, you know, I don't want to
19:17
get into the name calling of what they are, but they know who
19:20
they are, right? And they teaching them preaching
19:23
false doctrine and men learn from that.
19:26
And guess what, since it's a thing that that's feel good to
19:32
them, guess what they do, they going to go hitch themselves to
19:36
the wrong thing. And guess what, when they hitch
19:38
themselves to the wrong thing, that kids hitch themselves to
19:43
the wrong thing. You see how important it is for
19:46
men to be in church and be represented Right now we're
19:50
underrepresented big time. So we got to pick up the
19:53
numbers, y'all. They learn all these things
19:59
instead of scripture reading the Bible, open the Bible up,
20:03
getting an understanding of the Bible.
20:06
They did they they they just. Here are the people on the
20:11
street corner and you need to do XYZ.
20:14
I'm telling the Bible say the eyes and the one other soul
20:18
that's not in the Bible, not 1%, right?
20:21
So so when they learned this false doctrine, they teach that
20:25
down to the other people, to their kids and all of them are
20:29
in error. The ones that taught them he's
20:33
in error and then their kids in error.
20:35
And if their wife fall in it, she in error.
20:38
So you got to be careful about that.
20:41
Some men reason #2 some men see church as often perceived as
20:47
feminine. I go to church, I'm soft.
20:50
And I'm saying, hey, man, you know I ain't going to church
20:53
over there, man. I don't want to be saying soft.
20:55
I ain't no sucker. But that's not the case, y'all.
20:59
Many churches unintentionally emphasize activities that some
21:03
men struggle to connect with while offering fear opportunity,
21:06
fewer opportunities that highlight leadership,
21:10
mentorship, service, building protection and missions.
21:15
For example, they offer, hey, you know, we're going to have
21:19
this women's conference. We're going to have, you know,
21:22
this guest speakers, female come in and speak what we going to
21:27
have, you know, different events that don't include.
21:31
Basically they're saying they don't include men.
21:34
You know what I'm saying? They don't have leadership
21:36
conferences for men, Tom. They don't have leadership
21:40
conferences for men. They don't highlight leadership.
21:44
They don't, excuse me, they don't have mentorship programs.
21:48
They don't teach them how to protect their family.
21:52
So what do they do? Like, man, ain't nothing here
21:55
for me, man. I'm out.
21:56
You know what I'm saying? I am.
21:58
Yeah. I'm good.
22:00
Just ain't nothing here for me. I come here.
22:03
I gave you a Sunday to try to help me get myself on track.
22:07
And guess what? Y'all talk about me the whole
22:10
time. I ain't coming back.
22:13
Goodbye. Hey.
22:14
Nice to meet you, Pastor. Hi and bye.
22:17
That's it. See ya, that's what they do and
22:21
being often thrive when challenged in meaningful
22:24
responsibility. So if you challenge men even
22:28
that's why debates are so being like debates, especially sport
22:33
debates. You know you talking about
22:34
LeBron and Jordan or you know I don't think it's no Brady
22:39
comparison, but you know Brady and Montana and those guys like
22:43
that You know Randy Moss and Jerry.
22:49
What's the guy now? Y'all what I'm talking about the
22:51
one I pray for synthesis go Jerry.
22:54
Y'all know what I'm talking about anyway, the one of the
22:56
best wide receivers in the world was and still is right.
23:01
So they like debates like this because it stimulates them.
23:04
It gets them going. So if we can do, if we can do
23:07
that in church and get them stimulated, but if we won't,
23:12
then reason. But just he's a #3 shame.
23:20
Some men believe I messed up way too much, way too much.
23:26
But I'm going to give y'all something that's crazy for men
23:28
to think about now. Peter denied Jesus three times,
23:35
right? Yeah, Jesus restored him.
23:39
He restored him. So don't think that the things
23:44
you've done out on the streets or wherever you've done them at
23:47
or at home, or whether it be you know you, you know, watching
23:52
porn or drinking alcohol or smoking weed or whatever it is
23:57
you doing, you have not messed up too much.
24:02
Kick the shame. The Bible says he would give you
24:04
double for your shame but you got to get yourself an imposter
24:10
in position so that he can give you the double for your shame.
24:13
If you out of position how you going to get it?
24:16
You know what I'm saying? So just remember he restored
24:19
Peter so he definitely can restore you if you deny Jesus.
24:25
Think about that y'all? He had the nerve to deny Jesus
24:30
and Jesus said you know what, I'm going to restore so why
24:33
can't you me? Come on y'all, come on man, we
24:36
got to do better. Reason #4 fear.
24:39
Now this is a big one as I'm not good enough.
24:47
I mean they that's one of the thing man, I ain't good enough.
24:49
All that drama, you know now what it is, is your fear and
24:52
your trauma that you'd had when you was younger is coming back
24:56
and won't let you walk into the calling where you supposed to
25:00
walk into your purpose. You, you know your destiny
25:04
because you feel like, hey, I didn't feel so much.
25:07
You know, I don't want to do this because all I'm going to do
25:10
is let a whole another generation of people down again.
25:13
So why would you feel I do that? I'm going to do all that.
25:16
I just you know, I just sit over and chill on the side and I'm
25:18
straight. Can't do that.
25:23
You got to get up, keep it pushing for real.
25:28
Think about this. Moses said the same thing.
25:32
Jeremiah said the same thing, Gideon said the same thing.
25:36
God still use all of them. Now, why you think he can't use
25:41
you? You ain't in the Bible that I
25:42
know of. You ain't in there.
25:45
And so I mean, hey, he can use you.
25:48
Don't be fearful, you know what I'm saying?
25:50
Just don't just walk into it. Come into the church, lay all
25:55
your burdens down, lay it at the altar.
25:57
Get yourself clean. Come on in the church because we
26:00
need y'all men in ministry. We need you for show.
26:03
All right, What excuses? This is the this is just a a
26:08
question. What excuses are keeping men
26:11
from ministry? What excuses do y'all feel like
26:15
it's keeping men from ministry? I think the biggest 1 is like, I
26:17
ain't ready yet. I ain't got myself together yet.
26:20
You know, once I get myself together, you know I'm going to
26:22
come in and I'm I'm going to be on five for God.
26:25
And but, but I got to get myself together first.
26:27
I got to get myself together because I mean, I can't come in
26:31
there like this. I mean the Bibles that come as
26:34
you are, that means if you're broken, that means if you're
26:39
hurt, that means if you're full of fear, that means you're full
26:41
of doubt, that means you. If you just cuss somebody out in
26:45
the parking lot, you know what I'm saying?
26:47
I wouldn't advise that. But what I'm saying, if you did
26:50
come as you are, you know what I'm saying?
26:53
Even with, you know, if you ain't got the right suit, come
26:57
as you are. You got a pair of jeans and some
26:59
Crocs, Come on in the building. There's a seat in there for you.
27:03
Don't let people tell you you can't come to church dressed
27:07
like that. Yes you can.
27:09
You ain't made it yet like they so-called have made it.
27:13
You ain't come on in the building, you know what I'm
27:16
saying? But for real though, what are
27:17
some excuses? What excuses are keeping men
27:22
from ministry? That's mines y'all.
27:23
Hey, type in the chat what y'all think it is man.
27:26
You know, I, that's just my top one, right?
27:32
Ministry isn't just preaching. Many, many, many men believe
27:36
ministry means standing at a pulpit.
27:39
Not so, Not so. Not so at all.
27:43
And that's where I think we fall.
27:46
Men fall at because they think they got to be standing in the
27:50
pulpit in order to for God to use them.
27:55
Not so, Not so. Not so.
27:58
Not so. Not so.
28:00
I'm going to say it again. Not so.
28:01
Not so. Not so.
28:03
Right. Wrong.
28:05
Every believer has a ministry. This is mines.
28:10
You know, I've, I'm, I'm here to, you know, help men build a
28:14
coalition of men. Man talk 133 what?
28:17
Man Talk 133 what? Men unite to build a coalition
28:21
of men all across the world, globe, everywhere.
28:25
So if somebody, if a man needs something, he's in California,
28:29
you pick up the phone, call your contact in California.
28:31
Hey, this is, you know, I got a guy out there, brother so and so
28:36
I'm going to have him reach out to you, man.
28:38
He needs, you know, he needs some support for a month.
28:43
You know, he need a job and stuff like that.
28:45
Have him get on his feet. Boom.
28:47
That's how we do that. That's what Man Talk 133 is
28:51
thriving to do. So it can be in Alaska.
28:56
We got some folk in Alaska. You got some man talk one in 30
28:59
threes in Alaska. Hey, we'll do it over there too.
29:03
But every believer has a ministry.
29:06
For example, Ministry of Encouragement.
29:09
Barnabas was known for lifting people up.
29:12
Some men are called to encourage.
29:14
They just have it. They can tell you.
29:17
They can make you feel like, you know, like, Dang, I can't do
29:23
this. Can I mean you this dude got me
29:25
feeling like I can do all this and you can right, because he's
29:29
he's an encourager. He has that you know what I
29:34
mean? And you think about that Bonner
29:40
was was like that so you could be like him.
29:43
You just encourage people, make them feel good about themselves
29:46
and you know, and all that stuff like that.
29:49
So next Ministry of Giving, but I'm going to get into the
29:53
Ministry of Giving right after the break, y'all.
29:56
We'll be right back after the break.

Welcome back to MAN Talk 133, where men unite.
31:56
Tonight we talking about men in ministry, the crisis nobody
32:00
wants to talk about. But tonight we talking about it.
32:03
We're breaking it down. We're getting into it.
32:05
You know, everybody had every man out there has a calling, a
32:09
purpose. Hey, we're trying to help you
32:12
all get to that. Like I just gave the last one
32:14
bottomless. He was encouraging some men out
32:18
there could just encourage people.
32:19
I don't care if you got a bottle in your hand or not, you still
32:21
encourage it. You put the bottle down and get
32:24
into church, you'll be even the more encouraging.
32:28
You got to be. You got to be right with it.
32:31
You got to do what you got to do to get into the place where God
32:35
can use you like you want to use you right.
32:37
The next one is Ministry of Giving.
32:39
Joseph of Arithmetica gives his resources.
32:45
So not everyone preaches some fund ministries like, you know,
32:49
you might have, you know, punished money.
32:51
Let me say this too. Hold on.
32:52
Let me be clear on this one. I ain't saying you can give
32:58
money and not come to church. That's not what I'm saying.
33:00
I do not take that what I'm saying.
33:03
Yeah, some can fund the ministry, but you got to be part
33:07
of a ministry so God can really use you.
33:11
You know what I'm saying? He got to be able to use you in
33:14
the right way. We don't want no dope money
33:16
coming into the church y'all like I mean we can't have dope
33:21
money. You come and drop money off in
33:23
duffel bags two $300,000 worth of dope money you just made last
33:29
night and some powers ain't going to care.
33:31
They hey, but I need these bills paid.
33:33
Yo, Oh, good. We can get it from I'm gonna
33:36
pray over this and then hey, somehow to go back there and
33:39
count that. You know what I'm saying?
33:40
Some people don't care, but we got to do a decent in the order.
33:43
You know what I'm saying? Ministry of service.
33:46
You could be deacons parking teams.
33:49
Now, I worked in a parking lot. It's parking lot security.
33:54
I worked on security, pastoral security, so it's different
33:57
things you can do. Deacons, parking teams and media
34:00
teams, security, hospitality, visitations, mentorship,
34:05
technology administration, hospitality.
34:08
I'm saying I mean hospital, hospital visitation and
34:12
hospitality. Now I did security, parking lot
34:16
security and pastoral security and I would tell me and right
34:22
now it's very rewarding. I did prison ministry.
34:25
So that was very rewarding. So you can find whatever your
34:29
spot is and you can plug right in.
34:33
You know, if you was military, hey, you could be parking lot
34:36
security or you could be, or you know, you, you could be pastoral
34:42
security, but you've got to be right.
34:45
No pastor's going to let anybody watch over them that day off or
34:53
a little something that's off. You know what it means or
34:55
they're not going to do that job.
34:57
I well, none that I know they're like that, you know what I mean?
35:01
If you're good with, if you're good with like posting Flyers
35:05
and making stuff like that, you can be part of the media teams.
35:09
You know, if you're an encourager, like I said earlier,
35:13
you can go do hospital visitation.
35:15
You can be a mentor if you can, if you have done business, you
35:21
know, for years and you can just bring the young people in and
35:24
just drop knowledge into them on how to start and run.
35:28
Not even the young people, but even older people where you can
35:32
bring it in and you can bring them in and just mentor them how
35:37
to start successful businesses and keep them going, right?
35:41
Or if you play instruments, you can come in and show people how
35:44
to play instruments if you're good at IT.
35:46
All this stuff can be used in the church, y'all.
35:50
It ain't all about just preaching.
35:52
You ain't just got to be up there preaching all the time.
35:55
You know, maybe you'll get there, but it ain't where you
35:57
got to start at ministry in the marketplace.
36:01
We talking about Daniel Joseph Nehemiah business is ministry,
36:07
government is ministry, education is ministry, sports
36:11
can be ministry and social media can be ministry depends on how
36:15
it's used. For example, if you're using
36:18
your social media to push the Kingdom of God, you know the
36:23
word of God, you're pushing and push the word of God instead of
36:27
pushing with people up there fighting.
36:28
So you want to get views and stuff like that.
36:31
That's not you're not really pushing the word of God.
36:37
You know, you're pushing stuff for your own game, right?
36:41
You know what I mean? Sports can be ministry.
36:43
It just depends. You know, some guys, you know,
36:45
they, they, they say it and they show that they love God on the
36:50
field and off the field. So the government we in now, I
36:58
mean, I, I got to go here with it.
37:00
Y'all, y'all got to be careful because they say they love him
37:06
just my this is this is my wife scripture she's been talking
37:09
about. So I'm going to take this from
37:11
you tonight, babe. I'm going to use this.
37:15
I had to take this from you tonight.
37:21
They say that they love him, but their heart is far away from
37:24
him. So I mean the government is
37:30
saying love God, love God, love God, but the action shows
37:37
something totally different, some totally different.
37:40
Hear me on this one, totally different.
37:42
So y'all got to be mined for that.
37:44
All right. Now this is key ministry inside
37:48
the home. One of the greatest ministries
37:51
is fatherhood, teaching your children scripture, praying over
37:57
your wife, leading family devotion.
38:01
No, some of y'all might not be ready for that yet.
38:03
So you got to build your way up to that.
38:06
You got to work your way into that till you get to that and
38:10
hey, just go for that. Go go from there.
38:12
You know you, you got to start somewhere.
38:15
If you got a one line prayer, if you got one scripture that you
38:20
go to God is love. Hey, just start there and just
38:24
just build on it. God's love and you know you can
38:27
go to the other ones and find some other ones and some other
38:31
ones and the other ones. But as long as you teaching your
38:33
kids scripture and you're praying over your wife, you may
38:38
have a one line. Hey man, just protect my wife.
38:41
At least you started is a start. You get up there, you may leave
38:46
family devotion. You may have like 1 little thing
38:50
to talk about. Hey, you know, So what y'all
38:52
think about having Eve? Yeah, I think it was messed up.
38:58
Hi, Adam. You know, didn't say nothing.
39:01
I messed up. How the devil, DXYZ.
39:04
But at least you're trying. You up there doing something?
39:08
You get what I'm saying? Start somewhere, y'all.
39:10
Start small and scale up. You know what I mean?
39:17
So let me ask you all this. Who first introduced y'all to
39:22
Christ? My wife, I think introduced me
39:25
to Christ first. I know that.
39:29
Has a godly man ever changed your life?
39:31
Of course. I'm asking the question for me
39:33
with y'all answering for y'all self.
39:34
Of course. Yes.
39:35
Godly man has changed my life. What ministry are you called to?
39:40
Oh, man, I think pastor side. That's what I think.
39:51
That's what I think, yeah. What's stopping you from
39:54
stepping out, man? What's stepping y'all?
39:57
What's stopping you from stepping out and doing what you
40:00
supposed to do? Is it fear?
40:01
Most time it's fear, you know, the fear just freak them out.
40:05
It's just like, you know what? I can't.
40:07
I understand what you're saying, but I just.
40:10
I ain't ready yet, you know? I'm going to tell y'all
40:12
something. A true story, though.
40:14
I remember when I was, gotta say, way back in 1990.
40:27
Six or seven somewhere. 97 is when I got saved, I think way
40:33
back in 1997, gave my life to Christ in 97, right?
40:37
And I remember every Sunday because of fear, Why don't you
40:41
go down and give your life to Christ?
40:43
I do it next Sunday. I Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:45
I'll be ready next. And I ain't ready today.
40:48
And I said that for a long time and then one Sunday I stepped, I
40:52
got up and yo, it want a real big church.
40:57
But the I always look like it was like a mile long was
41:00
everybody's looking at you as you walk down there.
41:03
But you can't be fearful. You still got to get up and walk
41:07
down there and give your life to Christ.
41:09
If that's the way they do it. Some people don't do it like
41:11
that no more. It's different now like hey,
41:13
some people have, you know, pray, close your eyes and then
41:17
call people out so it won't feel awkward to them.
41:21
You know what I mean? Some people like that.
41:23
What happens when me and don't leave?
41:25
Families suffer, children search for identity elsewhere.
41:33
That's what happened. Churches struggle because me and
41:36
ain't there to even if they ain't nothing, you there to lock
41:39
the doors open, unlock the doors, lock the doors, control
41:44
the parking lot. You know different things like
41:48
that that you guys think that is not that important.
41:51
It's very important. If you ain't there to protect,
41:54
just imagine your family inside the church and some happen or
42:01
some some happen inside the church or outside the church and
42:04
you ain't there to help protect it.
42:06
Protect them, you leaving them defenseless like they have no
42:12
you supposed to be there protect.
42:14
I said at the beginning of the show, you supposed to be there
42:16
protector right, But you ain't there to protect them.
42:23
I'm just saying you got to think it.
42:25
Think of it from that perspective.
42:27
I'm not trying to fear people in the church, but I'm just saying
42:30
like, listen, if you're not there, if you're not, if you're
42:36
not leading, your family will suffer.
42:39
That's a fact. Because they're going to kids
42:42
going to search out whatever identity they're going to search
42:44
out. They're going to do whatever
42:45
they want. Churches struggle 'cause you
42:47
ain't there, ain't there. The workload becomes unbalanced.
42:50
That means women are doing more in the church than they supposed
42:52
to do because you ain't there to do it.
42:54
Now they count the money unlocking doors, locking doors,
42:57
leaving out by themselves, doing all this other other stuff that
43:00
y'all supposed to be doing. So I said all that to say, y'all
43:06
important communities decline. Crime, violence, homeless,
43:11
hopelessness, all this stuff will change if you are in the
43:20
church, but if you're not in the church and when God let me in
43:23
disappear. Hey, all this stuff will happen.
43:28
So let me make sure I'm clear on it.
43:30
Communities decline. Crime increases.
43:34
Violence increases, Hopelessness increases.
43:37
When godly men disappear, it's just what it is.
43:43
If you in the church, it probably won't happen.
43:47
More than likely it won't happen.
43:48
So many communities lose mentors, coaches, volunteers and
43:53
role models who often play important roles in stabilizing
44:00
the community. So for for example, if you are
44:05
everybody look up to you and you know, they look up to you,
44:08
right? You know, they look up to you.
44:11
Oh, that's so and so and so and so and they look up to you.
44:16
Think about it. If you ain't there, who they got
44:18
to look up to, just saying who they got to look up to.
44:24
So Eli didn't discipline his sons.
44:27
The priesthood became erupt corrupt because leadership
44:31
matters. If he had disciplined his son,
44:34
the priesthood would never came became corrupt.
44:37
But since he didn't and he had poor leadership, that's what
44:43
happened. King David.
44:45
King David, a great king, yet his failures at home had lasting
44:50
consequences. Leadership starts at home,
44:54
y'all. It starts at the crib.
44:57
Y'all got to know that we'll be right back.
44:59
I will be right back after the break.
45:01
Stats tell that each day, 22 veterans commit suicide due to
45:06
PTSD. These stats shook us and urged
45:09
us to do our part. After hours and hours of
45:12
thinking, beekeeping for veterans was born.
45:16
Beekeeping for veterans combines beekeeping with mindfulness
45:19
meditation. Why combine them?
45:22
Here's why. Beekeeping causes positive rush
45:25
of adrenaline. While beekeeping you have to be
45:28
calm during it. You are mindful of your
45:31
movements. Each week, a veteran will
45:34
receive a mindful meditation to build emotional and mental skill
45:37
sets. Mindfulness is a set of three
45:40
attentional skills that work together, concentration, sensory
45:44
clarity and equanimity, mental calmness, composure, evenness of
45:49
temper. Every time mindfulness is
45:51
practiced, we build these skills.
45:53
Beekeeping for veterans not only helps veterans overcome
45:57
emotional trauma but also aids our environment as without bees
46:01
there is no food. Come forward.
46:04
The people who have supported your country now need your
46:07
support. Military broadcast radio, the
46:16

46:36
where Men Unite. Thank you all for joining the
46:39
show tonight. Tonight we're talking about men
46:41
in ministry, the crisis nobody wants to talk about.
46:47
I mean, I engaged some stuff tonight for y'all today really,
46:51
really, really, really think about you got to really think
46:53
about what I gave you. Like King David, before I went
46:57
to break, we were talking about King David.
47:00
He was a great king, yet his failures at home had lasting
47:05
consequences. So leadership starts at the
47:09
crib, y'all? It starts at home for sure.
47:14
Raising Kingdom men, older men, the dudes in the church, the
47:19
elders, I mean, the, the, the deacons, the ones that you know,
47:24
people, the ones that they overlook you, you sit in the
47:26
corner, you quiet and you know, one that comes to mind is Mr.
47:31
Wilbert. Y'all don't know Mr. Wilbert,
47:34
but Mr. Wilbert, you matter. You older man, you matter.
47:37
I'm telling you older men in the church, you matter, right?
47:43
So I'm just saying like just because you're older and we
47:47
shifting into like a another generation of church, you still
47:52
matter when therefore trick you and think you don't matter
47:57
because you 100% do matter. That's a fact, right?
48:03
So Titus 2 older men should teach younger men, right?
48:10
Go and read it. It talks about how they should,
48:13
how they supposed to teach. Basically, you got to pass the
48:16
knowledge down to the younger men because they don't know
48:20
they, they, they don't have a clue what's going on.
48:22
They think they know everything, but they really don't know
48:25
nothing. Hate to say it like they don't
48:28
know nothing. They don't.
48:29
So mentorship, Paul had Timothy, Moses had Joshua, Elijah had
48:38
Elijah, Jesus had 12 Who are you pouring into?
48:44
So we got all this word in US men of God.
48:48
We got all this word and all this prayer and all these ideas
48:51
and all these great things we want to do for the Kingdom.
48:54
But who are we pouring it into? Are we pouring it into the young
48:57
people? Or what are we doing?
48:59
Put it up on the shelf. So-called for the right time.
49:03
Who are we pouring into? This really matters.
49:09
Women too. I know this man.
49:10
I'm talking about men, women. Y'all got all this word and
49:13
y'all who y'all pouring into for real?
49:17
Y'all got to like, we got to look at this man challenge men.
49:21
We got to challenge men. Pastors, and I know a lot of
49:24
y'all do. We got to challenge men.
49:28
We got to stop entertaining men. They need to be challenged.
49:33
We got to start equipping them to be able to pray at that
49:36
house. We got to put them in
49:37
uncomfortable positions where, hey, I need you to get up here
49:40
and pray or either start them in, start them in, you know,
49:44
like the men's fellowship, different things like that where
49:47
they can pray in front of the men first and get comfortable
49:50
with doing or you know, Sunday schools, you know, stuff like
49:55
that. You got to start equipping them.
49:59
We got to stop entertaining. We got to stop doing all the
50:01
hollering and all the yeah, all that.
50:04
That's good, fine. They entertain, they jump up and
50:07
they have, they know we got to stop, you know, equipping them,
50:11
but it be leaders of their homes for real.
50:15
We got to stop doing that. Real growth, real growth happens
50:18
through responsibility. If they're responsible, if you
50:21
get them responsibility, they're going to be responsible.
50:25
And I believe in y'all. I know y'all can do it.
50:28
You know what I'm saying? I know y'all can do it, You
50:30
know, because they give you a job for you to be responsible.
50:33
You get up every morning and stay early in the morning and
50:37
stay super late because you're responsible.
50:40
You have a responsibility. That's my job.
50:42
That's my responsibility to get up early and stay there late.
50:46
Yeah, I can't leave my job like that.
50:49
Guess what? You can't leave your family like
50:51
that either. I'm just saying you can work.
50:56
Let's see 2030 hours of overtime a week.
50:59
If you can't pray for like 2 minutes over your wife and kids.
51:03
We got to fix that y'all. That's something that structures
51:06
off. We got to fix that right?
51:09
What would happen if every Christian man disciple a younger
51:13
man? Well, we have like it would be
51:19
so Joe, the churches will be full because one thing I do know
51:27
about young people, when you tell them something good,
51:32
they're going to go and they're going to spread the word.
51:35
Ain't they say like for example, Hey, man, especially if they
51:38
play basketball, right? Hey, man, check this out, man.
51:40
There's a there's a court down there off so and so.
51:44
No, you got we got to go up there and play them boys.
51:47
We have their ball and I'm telling you every day they have
51:50
their ball. So if we disciple them the right
51:55
way and just into the, you know, in church and be like and they
51:58
go to the church. We're like, yo bro, you got to
52:00
come check out this church. It's crazy.
52:04
It's yo, you got to come check it out for real.
52:08
It's no joke. Come check it out.
52:19
These are 5 practical steps that can help right before I get out
52:25
of here. 5 practical, 5 practical steps.
52:29
Number one, pray daily, pray daily, Pray daily is the first
52:36
one. Even if the 5 minutes, I'm going
52:39
to say hey, 2-3 minutes if you ain't used to doing it.
52:45
I mean, hey, you can go for 5 minutes, but I'm just saying
52:49
just start with 2-3 minutes. You know #2 read Scripture every
52:54
day. Consistency beats intensity.
53:00
So if you consistent and you read and just say you want to
53:04
read the Bible in like a year and you read you're, you're
53:08
consistent about doing a certain amount every day, you're going
53:13
to be good to go #3 find accountability.
53:18
No man wins alone. You've got to have somebody
53:22
that's going to be behind you, that's going to make sure if
53:25
they see you getting off, they they'll nudge you back to the
53:29
left. If you're getting off to the,
53:31
you know, to the left and back to the right to keep you to keep
53:35
you lined up. You know what I mean?
53:37
You got to have find accountability in somebody,
53:41
right? Hey, serve somewhere.
53:45
If you coming to the church every Sunday, you sitting at the
53:47
back with your arms across the thing like this, you know, you
53:50
just chilling, you know, you got one kid on the disarm one on the
53:54
other arm and your wife running around doing 3-4 different
53:57
things and and you just sitting in the back chilling serve
54:02
somewhere in church. God developed service before
54:05
leaders. You got to be able to serve me
54:07
first before he well, I you know, I can be over.
54:10
I can be charged with all that, but you ain't never served on
54:14
this, so you don't know what to take.
54:15
You don't know the pressure, you don't know the warfare that come
54:17
with doing all that. So you can't sell what you can
54:20
leave with this, this, this, and you ain't never done it.
54:24
The best thing to do is serve first, then work your way into
54:29
leadership #5 lead at home first.
54:35
You talk about you can leave them in the church.
54:37
You can do all this and that and you can't leave your living
54:40
room. You going to struggle handling a
54:44
congregation if you can't handle your wife and your two or three
54:49
kids or even 1 kid in the living room?
54:54
Bro, listen, a congregation going to run through you, but
55:00
they're going to stiff on you right on out the way.
55:02
Like, boy, get out of here straight up.
55:04
You ain't stop playing with me. I don't want to hear nothing.
55:07
You got to say, pastor, I'm just telling y'all how I going to go.
55:12
So y'all got to learn before you can jump in the lead.
55:15
You first you got to serve, then you got to lead at home.
55:18
First you got to lead at home. Y'all for real?
55:22
For real. Just the final challenge.
55:25
Imagine every father praying over his children, every husband
55:29
leading devotion, every young man mentoring another young man,
55:34
every church full of spiritually mature men.
55:38
Neighborhoods would change. Schools would change.
55:41
Families would change. Communities would change Kingdom
55:45
advances. When ordinary men faithfully
55:49
answer God's call, just answer the call.
55:52
Y'all stop playing Joshua 24 and 15.
55:56
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
