S3|E8 - The Grind of Godliness (Spiritual Disciplines)
Summary:This episode calls men to embrace spiritual disciplines not as empty rituals or self-improvement projects, but as intentional habits that open us to God’s transforming grace. Many christian men lean too heavily into comfort, but men need challenge, responsibility, and a call to follow God more closely.For men, discipline is crucial: we thrive on structure, goals, and challenge. Just as physical training strengthens the body, spiritual training builds godliness (1 Tim. 4:7-8). The call is to be intentional—growth will not happen by accident. Spiritual disciplines are biblical practices (like prayer, Bible intake, fasting, worship, service, etc.) that help believers grow in Christlikeness through power of the Holy Spirit. Takeaways:- Spiritual disciplines are habits and practices that draw us closer to God and shape us into Christlikeness.- They are not an end to themselves, and do not replace the power of God working in our lives.- Spiritual growth won’t happen by accident—you must be intentional.- You can’t coast into godliness, and no one else can do the work for you.- True manhood requires training in godliness that lasts for both this life and the life to come.Subscribe on YouTube @mantalkpod for more content Promoting Biblical MasculinityFollow on Facebook @mantalkpod Follow on X & Instagram @mantalkpodcastAsk questions and learn more at www.mantalkpodcast.com
