TNMU #185: Man Up with Jody Burkeen (Part 2)

The phrase “Man Up” has not always been used in a beneficial way, but not when it comes to today’s guest. Jody Burkeen is a lot of things — husband, father, paster, business owner, author — but one thing he is not is unclear on his message, men need to man up God’s way. He’s back for part two of our conversation telling it like it is and calling men to, what else, man up.   website: manupgodsway.org Music Credit: "Funkorama" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)   Expanded Notes: Talking to men like men really starts by having a relationship with them The message of the gospel should wreck your world, eventually in a good way There is a freedom in following Jesus and letting him lead, following his footsteps Earthly fathers influence our view of Father God; discovering a proper understanding that God is so much more than our earthly father is critical to restoring our relationship with him The fellowship of other brothers is necessary to living the way God intended Men are simple and have by 5 problems — money, sex, wives, children and work; All surrounded by one big problem which is pride Sharing our testimony allows other guys to see we struggle with the same things Big take away — belief in Jesus and his rescue mission for us is the starting point   Jody’s books (Amazon author page) Man Up!
