#130 - Matt Chandler // Strength with Purpose: Your Divine Assignment

God created men with unique strength and aggression to cultivate His creation, helping it flourish through focused work that brings life to our hearts and souls. • God uniquely designed men to be stronger, faster, and wired differently for a specific purpose • Genesis 2:15 reveals our mandate to work and watch over God's creation with our strength • Cultivation means creating, building, and helping things flourish under God's direction • Meaningful work in a fallen world is painfully difficult but ultimately rewarding • Men must first cultivate a healthy sense of self before cultivating other areas • Understanding your behaviors requires archaeological soul-work to uncover patterns • Listen intentionally to those around you, especially your wife's perspective on your strengths • Let truth be your guide: you are made in God's image with unique gifts and talents • Your role as a watchman starts with ensuring your soul is growing in Christ • This calling will leave us tired but fulfilled, "wrung out for the glory of God" If you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.
