Hidden Fire: Navigating Sexual Desire and Passion for the Glory of God - Super Marital Sex: A Biblical Guide for Husbands As men, we all struggle with internal, fiery forces that reside deep within our souls. These internal forces can seemingly remain dormant, only to suddenly burst into an uncontrollable blaze. One such “hidden fire” is our sexuality. What God created to be "good," to be fully enjoyed within the covenant of marriage, can quickly turn destructive, consuming everything good in our lives. Because we are sexual beings, we cannot eradicate this fiery force; instead, we must come to understand and direct it by learning to navigate our lives according to the Ways and Wisdom of the God who designed us as sexual beings. Only then can this internal fiery force be a blessing to our world, bring joy to our hearts, and glorify the God who made us! Please join us in this series as together we seek to develop into men of sexual integrity.This series will cover such topics as:Getting to the Heart of LustLead us not into TemptationDealing with Sexual SinAffair-proofing Your MarriageSuper-Marital SexSex and the Single GuyNavigating the Pathway to Sexual IntegrityTo find out more about Awakened Heart Ministries, and our mission of Offering Men Hope and Direction in a Confusing World through Jesus Christ, please visit us at www.ahm4.life

Hidden Fire: Navigating Sexual Desire and Passion for the Glory of GodSexual Temptation – Part 2: The Poisonous Arrow Targeting the Heart of Men In our last session, we explored how sexual temptation, though biological in nature, has a spiritual origin. Like a poisonous arrow, the forces of darkness target our sexual passions with seductive lies, aiming to undermine our heart's devotion to God. While temptation itself is not sin, it can open the door to sin if we allow its spiritual poison to find its way into our hearts. This is why the Bible urges us to “guard our hearts” as we “stand firm” in the Spiritual Battle that is simultaneously taking place all around us in both the seen and unseen realms. But what exactly is this “Spiritual Battle” behind sexual temptation? Is it about “breaking strongholds” and casting out demons, or is there something deeper? Join us in part two of our talk on Sexual Temptation, as we examine the nature of the Spiritual Battle and why understanding it is so crucial in resisting temptation.Please visit https://www.ahm4.life to learn more about Awakened Heart Ministries and our mission to Offer Men Hope and Direction in a Confusing World through Jesus Christ

God made the World to flourish through Men who singularly trust and faithfully reflect their Creator by engaging life's chaos with the courage of a Warrior and imagination of a Poet. When men live according to this Divine design their marriages, families, communities, and nations will thrive with “Shalom”—Life in this World as God intends it to be. But people are not thriving, and the World is not flourishing because men are not living according to design. Ever since the Fall in Genesis 3 something destructive has been passed down to every generation of men that has left their masculine souls confused, afraid, and stubbornly committed to avoiding chaos rather than engaging it. Instead of living as Warrior-Poets, men have devolved into “Dreamer-Destroyers”—sub-masculine men given over to absence, passivity, silence, anger, intimidation, and shame. No man wants to be like this. In fact, all men intuitively long to live as the masculine men God designed. But instead they feel stuck, hopeless, and powerless to change. And for this reason, the marriages, families, communities, and nations of the World are progressively descending into a chaotic, life-diminishing, anti-shalomic mess.In this final talk of our series, “What is a Man?” we will address this all-important question: “Is there hope for Men?” Can men be restored to make a difference? Is it possible for a man to experience deep and real change from the inside-out? The kind of change that empowers him to not only “act like a man” (1 Cor 16:13), but to also bear the kind of good masculine fruit that brings order, beauty, and life to the Word, blesses others and honors God. If you are looking for this kind of God-sized hope, sit back and enjoy this final talk: Restored Masculinity: Living into God's Good Design for Men.To learn more about our ministry and our mission to offer men hope and direction in a confusing world through Jesus Christ, please visit us at www.ahm4.life

While toxic masculinity has been a real problem throughout human history, today's culture has wrongly conflated toxic masculinity with masculinity itself. What God in Creation pronounced as “very good,” modern society now decries as very bad. So, what is it? Is masculinity a good or bad thing? And if it's a good thing as God clearly declares, then what exactly is toxic masculinity? Moreover, how does it effect men, what does it do to the world men are called to subdue, and how can a man prevent his masculinity from becoming toxic? Join us this month in Talk 7 of our series, What is a Man? as we tackle this important and often misunderstood subject.

If, as we have learned, the Bible commands Men to act like the God of Genesis 1—a God who moved forward into Chaos, then exactly what will that look like when we who bear Men were made to move into life and engage its chaos for the purpose of bringing order, beauty and life to their World. It's in such an ordered place that people thrive and relationships flourish.But exactly how is that done--especially when the chaos to be moved into is the disappointment of a crying wife who wants more from your marriage? In this session of "What is a Man?" we will give you some hope and direction for engaging relational chaos in a life-giving way.For more information about our mission to offer men hope and direction in a confusion world through Jesus Christ, please visit us at www.ahm4.life
If, as we have learned, the Bible commands Men to act like the God of Genesis 1—a God who moved forward into Chaos, then exactly what will that look like when we who bear His image as Men hate our job, have a conflict with a friend or are hurt by a loved one? In today's session we will discover that while Manhood is about moving forward into Chaos, not all masculinemovement is good movement. Some can be harmful and isolating. “Good masculine movement” is more about engaging Life's chaos than fixing it. It's more about being present with real questions than keeping distant by offering the right answers. If you are a man who has felt the weight of needing to fix everything except the break of day, then this session is a must for you. Your wife will love you for it!For more information about our mission to offer men hope and direction in a confusion world through Jesus Christ, please visit us at www.ahm4.life

In this our third session, we will delve into the question, "What is a man?" by closely examining our origin story as described in the Biblical Account of Creation. We will explore how Scene One depicts a powerful God who speaks and moves into a chaotic abyss, creating a "good" world that is characterized by order, beauty, and life. Moving on to Scene Two, we will discover how this same God made the first man in His image, intending for him to reflect and represent Him in the world, essentially making the man to be like Him! Based on this origin story, I will propose that a trustworthy definition of Manhood must mirror the likeness of our Creator as described in Genesis Chapter 1.To learn more about our mission to Offer Men Hope and Direction in a Confusing World through Jesus Christ, please visit us at www.AHM4.LIFE

In this talk we will begin our work in answering the question “WHAT IS A MAN?” by focusing on a key biblical text in which God commands us to “act like men.” Using this text as a springboard we will jump headfirst into the Culture War by seeking to identify the Standard for Manliness that is logically assumed by this divine command. We can't “be men” unless there already exists a recognized standard for measuring our manliness. What is that standard? Where does it come from? Can we trust it to shape, form and direct our lives as men? In this session we will begin to uncover the Standard for Manhood by considering our Masculine design from the Creation Story.To learn more about our mission to provide men hope and direction in a confusing world through Jesus Christ, please visit us online at www.ahm4.life

Everybody's asking, “What is a woman?” A good question, but not the first question we should be asking. Because the biblical creation account tells us the Woman was created from the side of the Man, our first question should be, “What is a Man?” Why? Because if we don't accurately answer the man question, then we have no hope of getting the woman question right. So then, “What is a Man?” Our woke culture is offering us their answer, leaving men confused and feeling guilty. Whatever a Man is, we are told it's “not good.” Yet when God created Man, God said what He made was “good.” And if that's what God said, exactly what is “good” about Manhood? What did God create a man to be and why did God make him the way He did? If you're curious about the answer, then join us in our new series as we seek to answer this all-important question from God's Word, focusing special attention on what this will mean for you as a man as you engage your world from your unique masculine design and creational purpose.To learn more about our mission to offer men hope and direction in a confusing world through Jesus Christ, please visit us at www.ahm4.life

This series has sought to help men make sense of what is going on in our World today by viewing it through the framework of God's Larger War Story that is being told through Human History as revealed in Bible. In today's final session we find ourselves at the end of the Story. The Cosmic War is over, King Jesus has won the Victory, God's Creation is fully renewed, and God's Human Family is at last restored and at Home with God in His New Eden located on the New Earth. Shalom has arrived! Everything is once again as it's supposed to be! But the final question yet remains: What will life for us as men look like in our New Home? What will we be doing for all eternity? Will we live as “retirees” forever free from responsibility? Or will we live as “professional singers” who worship before God's throne day and night? Or will we continue to work as men in a similar fashion in the New Earth as we did on the “Old” Earth? If so, what will our job be? How will it be assigned? And what will you need on your resume to qualify for a “good” job? See what the Bible has to say about this in this session as we turn our attention to the subject: “Holy Jobs,” Preparing today for a Kingdom Career Tomorrow.To learn more about AHM and our mission to offer men hope and direction in a confusing world through Jesus Christ, please visit us at www.AHM4.life

If it's TRUE that Jesus utterly defeated Satan and the unseen forces of Darkness by His death on the Cross and is now the risen and enthroned King ruling in Power at God's right hand, THEN WHY DOESN'T IT SEEM, LOOK OR FEEL TRUE? Why does the Darkness seem to be growing? Why does Chaos seem to be increasing? Why does Evil seem to be winning? Our experience in the World today seems to contradict what the Bible tells us about the Cosmic War. If Jesus won the Victory then why the continued resistance and unrest in the World today?

The Story of Jesus is the climatic chapter in God's Larger WAR Story. After being anointed God's chosen King at His Baptism and proving His Believing Loyalty to God through His Wilderness Temptations, Jesus then begins his public ministry of proclaiming the coming Kingdom, casting out demons and healing human disease as a means of softening the battlefield. But it's through the Transfiguration which takes place on the demonic stronghold of Mt. Hermon that Jesus officially declares war on God's Cosmic Enemies. He then begins his final journey to Jerusalem to engage in what will be the decisive Cosmic Battle. As he publicly rides into the City as Israel's true Davidic King, he comes to do battle. His disciples too are ready for battle, following him with swords. Satan prepares for war by entering Judas. The battle lines are drawn. The ancient Serpent's head is at last about to be crushed. Victory is in the air. But then the unthinkable happens—or does it? In this session we will discover that when it comes to Jesus' battle strategy, “V” stands for much more than Victory!If you would like to learn more about our mission to offer men hope and direction in a confusing world through Jesus Christ, please visit us online at www.ahm4.life

We continue in our series “What on Earth is God Doing?” This month in Part 7 "Seeing Jesus through the Larger Lens" we find that too often we get locked into seeing Jesus from our own smaller perspective: “Jesus is my personal savior who died on the cross so I can go to heaven when I die.” This reductionistic view of Jesus prevents us from seeing Him as he really is…as the Larger Story of God presents him and invites us to see him. Seeing Jesus through the lens of God's Larger Story not only will change our perspective of Him, but it will also give us a larger, transcendent framework from which to see ourselves and understand our own smaller story.To find out more about our mission to offer men hope and direction in a confusing world through Jesus Christ, or to learn more about our ministry please visit us at https://ahm4.life

Seeing Jesus through the lens of God's Larger Story not only will change our perspective of Him, but it will also give us a larger, transcendent framework from which to see ourselves and understand our own smaller story.To find out more about our mission to offer men hope and direction in a confusing world through Jesus Christ, or to learn more about our ministry please visit us at https://ahm4.life
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that something dark and sinister is happening today right in front of our very eyes. Truth has collapsed. Morality has been overturned. Once trusted social institutions are unashamedly corrupt. Western Civilization, informed by Christianity, is being systematically dismantled by powerful forces for the crime of being oppressive, intolerant, bigoted, and hateful. Everything “good and right” is now being condemned as “bad and wrong”—including all who still dare hold to creational reality.As Christian men, we rightly ask: Where is God in all this? Why is He allowing this to happen? Are these the “Last days'” or just an intensification of “this present evil day?” More importantly, how should we as men respond to the spiritual battle raging around us?If these are the questions you have been asking, please join us in our series, “What on Earth is God Doing?” as we seek to answer these questions from the context of God's Larger Story. We think this series will be biblically enlightening, spiritually refreshing and personally encouraging as its purpose is to help men better understand how they can actively participate with God in this current spiritual battle in a more thoughtful and effective way.When we think of the story of Jesus our mind naturally goes to the Cross. The Bible tells us that Jesus, the unique Son of God, came to earth to die in our place on the Cross so that through faith in Him our sin could be forgiven, and we could be made fully at Home with God as His adopted sons. Yet when we read Jesus' story in the context of God's Larger Cosmic War Story, we quickly discover that there's much more to Jesus than the Cross and there's much more to the Cross than the forgiveness of our sin.

In this session (Judges-Malachi) we will discover (1) how Israel fails as God's chosen Nation to be a "light" to the divorced Nations, (2) God's surprising response, and (3) what it all means for us today in our supernatural battle against the Serpent and his offspring.

What exactly is “Soul Care” and how does it work? Join Dr. Scott Engelman as he lays out a biblical perspective of Pastoral Soul Care through which God works to breathe fresh life into your entire being. Your body, mind and heart will be restored as you relate with Him in your service to others.You do not need to be an ordained Pastor for this message to be relevant and powerful. We are all called to be disciples of Jesus Christ and this message encourages us to make space for God so that we might become more aware of Him in all areas of our lives for the sake of others and for our joy.Ministry by its very nature is busy and demanding. Like a tire punctured with a nail, it can slowly deplete a man's physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual reserves - leaving him exhausted and completely “flat” over time.Most men have neither the time nor knowledge to repair the leak and replenish their soul. Consequently, they limp through ministry on the “rim”, hoping to make it to their next vacation, while wondering how they'll ever finish the journey itself. Frustrated and alone, they feel their only option is to put their head down and dutifully press on, all the time wondering what Jesus meant by the words, “Come to me all you who are weary and exhausted, and I will give you rest”.Given this ministry reality, caring for the soul is not an option or luxury. It is absolutely necessary for long-lasting, life-giving, soul-filling ministry.To find out more about our mission to offer men hope and direction in a confusing world through Jesus Christ, or to learn more about our ministry please visit us at https://ahm4.life
