The Christian Bro Code Podcast

It's Been Fun!

First, the bad news: After careful consideration, I've decided to suspend production of The Christian Bro Code Podcast, YouTube channel and Facebook Page. Now, the good news (at least for me it is!): I will continue to provide teachings via a podcast and YouTube channel. The podcast will be new. The YouTube channel and Facebook page will be The Christian Bro Code rebranded. The teachings on the new podcast and YouTube channel will be very similar - almost identical - to what I taught in The Christian Bro Code Podcast. They will not be specifically for men, however. Instead, they will be for Christians who are seeking to grow as disciples of Jesus. The goal of the teachings is to equip you to advance the mission Jesus started. What now? From now on, you can find me online at www.marioescobedo.org. [https://www.marioescobedo.org] To make sure you never miss a teaching, visit my new website and join my email list. Better yet, sign up for the new workshop I just created titled, "The Call To Discipleship." I think you'll like it. Finally ... Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've received so many positive messages and comments from you and I can't thank you enough. My prayer is that I can continue to provide you teachings that help you grow. God bless, bro!

What's Your Growth Plan For 2021?

Growth doesn’t happen on its own or just because you want it to happen. Growth happens when you decide to grow, map out a growth plan and then put it into action. 2020 was … different, and only God knows what’s in store for us in 2021. But, one thing is for sure. Regardless of what happened in 2020 or of what awaits you in 2021, you can grow. Make no mistake about it, though. Growth will only happen if you plan on it and if you take action. In this final episode of 2020, I share some pointers that should help you have a fruitful 2021. I hope you enjoy it and I hope it helps you. See you in 2021!

Are You Willing To Give Up Your Rights?

What a crazy election season it's been! I'm sure you have your own very unique political views and opinions. And I'm sure that, whatever they may be, you're convinced that they are absolutely right and that anybody who doesn't share them must be taking stupid pills. And, it's very likely that you're not shy about your views or about sharing them with others. Well, be that as it may, I'd like to suggest to you that there is a particular characteristic that we must display as disciples of Jesus that just might affect how much and how often we give the world a piece of our mind. That characteristic is meekness. In this episode I'll share with you my definition of meekness and how it should play out in our lives. Believe me, kingdom-wise, there's a lot at stake if we don't demonstrate meekness. Be sure to like and share the episode and subscribe to the podcast. God bless, bro!

Do Something About It, Bro!

No doubt we're all feeling frustrated and maybe even a little anxious during this whole COVID-19 situation. That's pretty normal, I think. But, have you gotten to the point that you've started to doubt in God? If that's where you find yourself, take a listen to this episode. Now, fair warning, you're not going to hear the stuff you typically hear like "God is with you; Don't give up, etc., etc." All that is true and we need to hear it. But in this episode I'm going to put some of the responsibility of overcoming your doubt squarely on your own shoulders. Now, don't worry. I'm not going to judge you or put you down or anything like that. I just want you to see that there's a lot more that you can do than you think.

Out With The Old In With The New, Bro!

Since March of 2020 we've all been living in some kind of alternate reality. Among other things happening in our nation and world, COVID has impacted our lives in ways nobody could have foreseen. I think we all know change is inevitable. But there's a huge difference between living with changes you chose and changes that you did not choose. In the case of of COVID and 2020, we didn't choose change - change chose us! So, as disciples of Jesus, what should be our attitude and reaction to unexpected changes that are thrust on us? That's what I'm going to talk to you about in this episode. I'll be looking at Isaiah 43, primarily verses 16-19, as a basis for this discussion. We'll look at two attitudes to change. I'll suggest that there is one attitude God wants us to avoid and another He wants us to embrace. Choose incorrectly and you could miss out on the new things God is planning. I hope you enjoy the episode, Bro! If you haven't done so yet, be sure to like, comment and subscribe. God bless, bro!
