The Masks We Wear Episode 2 The Jacob In Us Series

In Episode 2 of The Jacob In Us series, we dive into the masks people wear to hide pain, insecurity, pride, fear, rejection, and brokenness. Just like Jacob struggled with identity before fully surrendering to God, many of us create versions of ourselves to survive, impress others, or protect wounds we never healed from. This episode challenges the difference between who we present to people and who we truly are before God. Society may celebrate appearance and image, but God searches the heart. Hiding behind a mask may gain approval from people, but healing begins when we become honest with God and ourselves. Using 1 Samuel 16:7, Luke 16:15, and Proverbs 28:13, we discuss how confession, vulnerability, and truth are necessary for transformation. The mask may protect your image, but it can also block your growth, relationships, purpose, and intimacy with God. This episode is for anyone tired of pretending to be strong, perfect, unbothered, or spiritually mature while silently struggling inside. God cannot fully heal the version of you that you keep hiding. Key Scriptures: * 1 Samuel 16:7 * Luke 16:15 * Proverbs 28:13 Topics Covered: * Identity and self-image * Hiding pain behind performance * Spiritual masks and pride * Why vulnerability matters * God seeing beyond appearances * Confession, healing, and transformation * The danger of living for validation

The Self Made Man. The Jacob In Us Series Episode 1

In Part 1 of The Jacob In Us series, we confront the mindset of the “self-made man” and how pride, image, control, and worldly expectations can quietly pull men away from full surrender to God. Using Proverbs 3:5-6 as the foundation, this episode explores Jacob before his encounter with God — a man driven by survival, strategy, and self-reliance — and how many men today still wrestle with the pressure to always appear strong, emotionally controlled, successful, and unshakable. Throughout scripture, God repeatedly called flawed and prideful men into transformation. From Nebuchadnezzar’s arrogance, to Saul becoming Paul, to the disciples leaving behind their identities to follow Jesus, the Bible shows that God does not call perfected men — He calls willing men. This episode also challenges modern ideas of masculinity. Many men are taught to suppress emotion, avoid vulnerability, and carry every burden alone. Yet David, a warrior and king, openly wept, worshipped, repented, and poured out his emotions before God in Psalms — and was still called a man after God’s own heart. Are we leaning on God’s understanding, or our own definition of what a man should be? Can a man truly submit to God while protecting an image that God never asked him to maintain? This conversation is for men wrestling with identity, pride, emotional walls, control, faith, and surrender. Jacob’s story is not just biblical history — it reflects the internal struggle many men face today between self-reliance and dependence on God.

The Jacob In Us Series Prelude

In this raw and transparent prelude to the The Jacob In Us series, we open the door to a conversation many men avoid — hidden struggles, addiction, shame, and the battle between who we are and who God is calling us to become. Using the story of The Holy Bible’s Jacob as the foundation, this episode explores the reality that transformation often begins with confession. I openly discuss my personal struggle with smoking and drinking, how those habits began affecting my physical health through early stages of gout, and the reality that even socially accepted habits like cigars and alcohol can slowly damage the body — especially the legs, joints, and overall health. But this episode is bigger than addiction. It is about honesty. Too many men believe they must appear strong, perfect, and emotionally untouchable while secretly fighting battles that are draining them spiritually, mentally, and physically. This episode creates a safe place for men to admit they are still wrestling with parts of themselves without believing they are disqualified from growth, leadership, or God’s purpose. Jacob wrestled before he transformed. Many of us are doing the same. This prelude sets the tone for the 5-part The Jacob In Us series — a journey into identity, struggle, surrender, and transformation.

As For Me and MY HOUSE. Final Episode Order Of Man.

In this final installment of The Order of Man series, the message is simple but direct: make a decision. In Joshua 24:14-15, Joshua isn’t just making a statement—he’s issuing a challenge: choose who you will serve. Not halfway. Not when it’s convenient. Fully. “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” isn’t just a declaration—it’s a line in the sand. Either God is first, or He isn’t. This episode calls men to stop living divided and start leading with clarity and conviction. We break down Job 1:4-5 and how Job took responsibility for his household, covering them spiritually and leading proactively—not reactively. That’s real leadership: not waiting for problems, but guarding your house before they show up. Then we anchor it with 1 Corinthians 10:31—reminding us that everything we do should reflect who we’ve chosen to serve. Your actions, your discipline, your decisions—they all reveal your allegiance. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about commitment. Choose. Then act on that choice. Start now. Don’t wait until things look perfect. Start protecting your house now.

A Man That Findeth A Wife. Ep 5 Order OF Man Series

Episode 5 of The Order of Man dives into the deeper meaning of relationships and divine partnership, rooted in Proverbs 18:22 and Proverbs 19:14. This episode challenges men to rethink what it truly means to “find a wife” and receive favor from the Lord. It’s not just about companionship—it’s about alignment, purpose, and spiritual discernment. We break down the difference between what can be given by man (houses, wealth, inheritance) versus what only God can provide—a prudent, wise, and purpose-driven partner. This conversation pushes men to evaluate their own readiness, character, and spiritual position before seeking a wife. If you’ve been focused on what you want in a woman but haven’t examined who you are becoming as a man, this episode will shift your perspective. True favor isn’t found in chasing—it’s revealed through order, discipline, and alignment with God’s design.
