Beschreibung

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.

A New Thing Episode 4 The Jacob In Us Series

The Jacob In Us – Episode 4: Wrestling With God, Becoming Someone New In Episode 4 of The Jacob In Us series, we explore one of the most powerful moments in Jacob's life—his encounter with God at Peniel. In Genesis 32:24-30, Jacob wrestled through the night and refused to let go until he received a blessing. It was in that struggle that God changed his name, his identity, and the course of his life. Many of us find ourselves wrestling with God during seasons of transition, uncertainty, correction, and growth. We want God to bless our plans, while God is trying to transform us into who He created us to be. Sometimes the greatest blessing isn't a change in our circumstances—it's a change in us. Through Isaiah 43:19, we discuss how God creates new paths and new beginnings, even when we cannot see them. Through Psalm 51:10, we examine David's prayer for a clean heart and a renewed spirit, reminding us that true transformation starts from within. If you've been struggling with your past identity, old habits, fear, or the process of becoming who God called you to be, this episode is for you. Scriptures Referenced: * Genesis 32:24-30 * Isaiah 43:19 * Psalm 51:10

Being Still Episode # the Jacob In Us Series

Scriptures Psalms 46:10 Matthew 6:25-34 Isaiah 30:15 Being still does not mean doing nothing. That being said as we jump into this episode we discuss how it can be difficult for men to fully submit to God because we're taught to always have the answer since birth and full submission to Gods will renders that mindset irrelevant. Jesus speaks on how the birds are taken care of and how the grass is taken care of and how we will always be taken care of as long as we seek God and the kingdom of righteousness first. Jacob found stillness is his wrestle with God's angel because he got to a point to where nothing else mattered but the blessing he wanted from the angel. We need that type of focus. Remember Isaiah 30:15 In quietness and in confidence will you find your strength. Stay blessed
