#205 - Kyle Thompson // Secure and Grounded

We trace why insecure, ungrounded men become dangerous and how Scripture forms men who are steady, trustworthy, and fit to carry weight. Reuben’s rise-and-fall reveals how impulse and insecurity forfeit responsibility, and how grounding in God’s Word restores strength. • the Sword of the Spirit as a man’s primary weapon • the danger of insecurity and overcompensation • Proverbs 25:28 and Psalm 1 as pictures of instability vs stability • Reuben’s impulsivity, sin with Bilhah, and the loss of preeminence • Jacob’s blessing turning to judgment—“unstable as water” • how grounding in the gospel builds trust and responsibility • practical steps to become rooted in Scripture and steady in life Before you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review Support the show Want to connect?
