The Prodigal Journey

Pastoring The Impoverished | Pastor Will Broadus

Welcome to The Prodigal Journey! We are happy you are here and we believe that Every Story Matters. On this episode I talk to one of my pastors, Pastor Will Broadus, from Reconcile Community Church. We talk about how he came to faith in Christ, some of his journey in missions, and what led him back to the states to plant a church in one of the most poverty stricken neighborhoods of Greenville County.

Imposter Syndrome | Oasis

Welcome to the first episode of Oasis: "A place of rest along this journey". Sometimes we feel like we don't deserve God's love. We feel like we have to do something better or do something more to earn His love, and when we fail at striving for these things, we feel even more unworthy. We are left feeling like imposters. But what if God wants us to think differently about our identities?! On this Oasis episode I talk about being created in the image of God and how he wants us to take the truths He says about us and live a life that is more joyful, and in believing the truths, we can experience a deeper love relationship with our heavenly Father! -------------------- Please consider donating to help keep the content going: https://the-prodigal-journey.captivate.fm/support [https://the-prodigal-journey.captivate.fm/support] -------------------- New Affiliate Partner! - TidyCal (from AppSumo) If you like simplicity for all your calendar needs, then you will love TidyCal.

Biblical Masculinity Is Intentional

Welcome to The Prodigal Journey where we celebrate Christ's power through our weakness! On this episode I talk to John Price III about his journey in understanding biblical manhood. We also talk about cultural influences on our understanding of biblical manhood, struggles we face as men, and much more. Biblical masculinity is about following the example of Jesus, seeking Him above all else, and loving and serving others. We have been told for too long that being a man is about charisma instead of character. Let's get back to a biblical view of what it means to be a man who seeks God above all else! -------------------- If you enjoy the content, please consider leaving a tip! https://the-prodigal-journey.captivate.fm/support [https://the-prodigal-journey.captivate.fm/support] -------------------- Men On Purpose Links: Website: menonpurpose.podia.com YouTube: @menonpurpose -------------------- Affiliate Partner - Upside: Why not make cash back for something you already buy?

Accountability Software Can't Make You Love God

Welcome to The Prodigal Journey where we celebrate Christ's power through our weakness! On this episode I talk about accountability software. It has been a conversation I've had with other men lately and I want to address it. My fear is that too many men are living out of fear instead of the freedom that we were saved for. We don't have to white knuckle our sin. If we love God and we want to seek Him, we can choose to grow in holiness and our love for Him. Main thoughts for this episode: * Boundaries and guard rails are good but they don't give power to obey them or keep them. They don't give us the power to love Christ more. * True love COSTS something, and our love must fuel our acts of devotion. Application Questions: * Are you viewing your sin in light of the freedom that God wants for you? * Or are you white knuckling your sin and only thinking about not sinning? * Is your obedience motivated by love for Christ or is it motivated by fear, shame, or something else? * What small steps can you take TODAY to change your thinking and move foward in the freedom Christ has for you?! * To change your thinking from "not sinning" to growing in holiness and love for Christ. -------------------- If you enjoy the content, please consider leaving a tip! https://the-prodigal-journey.captivate.fm/support [https://the-prodigal-journey.captivate.fm/support] -------------------- Affiliate Partners Covenant Eyes: Covenant Eyes is the pioneer of Internet and screen accountability.
