The Rock Podcast With Dennis

Men need spaces where they can lay down the burden of “being strong” all the time and just be. Vulnerable. Honest. Human.And bringing Jesus Christ into that space makes it even more powerful. As Hebrews 4:15 reminds us, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses…”—Jesus gets it. He walked this earth, faced temptation, felt pain, rejection, grief—yet without sin. That means He's not judging our weakness; He's meeting us in it with grace.When Paul said in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness,” he wasn't glorifying pain, but showing us the divine beauty in surrender—how God steps into the cracks of our brokenness with healing and strength.So yes—men deserve safe places. Spaces where vulnerability isn't shameful, but sacred. Where healing isn't just encouraged, it's expected. Where restoration isn't a maybe—it's a promise.  @HardlyInitiated   @2819Church In order for us to all heal, we have to be there for each other as brothers.Check out my books : Heart Meditation of the Believer (The Heart Meditation Project) https://a.co/d/hSMtnIQBroken Son: Forgiving a Broken Father https://a.co/d/e6QCjx3 The Rock Podcast with Dennis on other platforms:Apple : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rock-podcast-with-dennis/id1585240982Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1JacNQuIEMFknpX5rd5ge0?si=OoabQHEaSyKiQ46bhX9giHeart Radio:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-rock-podcast-with-denn-86762292?cmp=ios_share&sc=ios_social_share&pr=false&autoplay=trueAlso follow me on IG: @DC3rising Facebook: Dennis Crawford IIIIntro Music By GK JonesCall for help: Crisis and Suicide Line at 988

Church hurt" refers to the emotional, spiritual, or psychological pain caused by negative experiences within a church or religious community. This pain can arise from a variety of sources, including interpersonal conflicts, spiritual abuse, hypocrisy, judgment, exclusion, or mismanagement by church leaders. For many, a church is meant to be a place of safety, support, and spiritual growth, so when that trust is broken, it can have profound effects on both the individual and their faith journey. Join us as I talk with my special guest, Terrence Wilson, Author, Speaker and Founder of TWilson Speaks. We talk about Church Hurt and How to Heal From It! You Don't Want To Miss This One!

Please join me as I have real and authentic conversation about Church Hurt and how to heal from it with Special Guest, Vince Thomas, Lead Pastor of The Outlet Community Church in Atlanta GA. Healing from church hurt often requires deep emotional and spiritual work. While the process may feel difficult at times, it often leads to profound personal growth. Over time, you might experience a new sense of self-awareness, emotional maturity, and spiritual resilience that fills you with joy. How this brings joy: Strength through struggle: When you come out of a painful experience and see how much you've grown or learned, there's a quiet kind of joy that comes with knowing that you've overcome something significant. A stronger, more authentic self: Healing helps you shed layers of shame, guilt, or confusion that might have been imposed on you, and allows you to be more authentic—this authenticity can be a source of deep joy.

Dreamkillers—they are those people or influences that discourage or undermine your ambitions and dreams. Whether it's through overt criticism, subtle doubts, or well-meaning but limiting advice, Dreamkillers often act as obstacles on the path to success or self-fulfillment. It's important to recognize their presence and learn to protect your vision.The key is to stay grounded in your purpose and be selective about whose opinions you let affect your journey. Surrounding yourself with supporters who believe in your potential can help build resilience and ensure that your dreams remain alive. Please subscribe, like, and share this Youtube Channel for men.

Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with men, particularly young men, being disproportionately affected. It is a silent crisis, one often hidden beneath layers of societal expectations, stigma, and unspoken struggles. While mental health awareness has increased in recent years, the complex and often invisible battle within men continues to be overlooked or minimized, making it difficult for them to seek help or support. The statistics surrounding male suicide are sobering. In many countries, men are two to four times more likely to die by suicide than women. In the United States, for example, men account for approximately 75% of all suicide deaths, with the highest rates seen among middle-aged men (ages 45–54) and older men (ages 85+). While suicide is a deeply painful and tragic outcome, it is also important to emphasize that recovery is possible. Many men who struggle with suicidal thoughts go on to live fulfilling, meaningful lives after seeking help. Therapy, support groups, medication, and other forms of treatment can make a profound difference. Moreover, the act of simply reaching out, whether to a friend, a family member, or a mental health professional, can provide a sense of relief and direction. There is no shame in seeking help. The more we destigmatize mental health struggles and embrace vulnerability, the better chance we have of preventing the silent battle within men from ending in tragedy.

Temptation is real and it is very evident in all our lives as men! Temptation within itself is not sin, but when we fall into temptation that's when it can ruin our lives! The Bible says in James 1:14-15….but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.” Jesus was tempted(Matthew 4)in the wilderness by the tempter, the devil! Jesus overcame temptation by fighting with the word of God. As men, when we arm ourselves with the word of God it will cause us to overcome and conquer the enemy every time.

The Bible says “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” ‭Proverbs‬ ‭17‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ You have to be intentional about pursuing, maintaining and staying connected to true friends.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭24‬-‭26‬ ‭NIV‬‬ says, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.“ God created all of us with a plan and a purpose. As believers we are the body of Christ and we have to be careful to not compare ourselves with others. We all have special and distinctive callings and gifts. We should compliment each other not compete against each other. When we minimize and degrade what others do, it causes division in the body and we fall prey to the enemy.

Rejection is real. Besides who likes rejection? No one does! It doesn't feel good. You may not be picked for the team. God has a purpose and plan for you and me. King David is a great example, because he was not the first to be chosen among his 7 brothers. He did not have the appearance of a king, however he did have a pure heart. God knew that David was a man after His own heart. He ended up being one of the greatest kings in Israel and pinned most of the book of Psalms. David was a Shephard, Worshipper, Musician, and a Prophet. Just know that God has a plan for you; just like He had for David. Don't allow man's ways to determine your destiny or your worth. God values you, accepts you and loves you. Whenever you feel rejected, welcome it, embrace it and walk in it. Man's rejection of you and God's protection of you!

God created us with a plan and a purpose. Life is full of challenges, disappointments, and setbacks. Every journey has a destination and God uses them to grow us up in many areas. Most of our journeys don't look like our destination(God's plan and purpose for our lives). The Bible says in Proverbs 16:9, “A man's heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.” As a result, we should never judge a person based on their journey. God has a specific assignment and plan which in part our divine destination. Please listen and subscribe to this podcast. Thanks for your support!

“The sower sows the Word. And these are the ones by the wayside where the Word is sown.

The enemy does not want us to infect our sphere of influence to the glory of God. If we are dealing with a struggle or simply feel like we are under attack count it as a compliment.

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭27‬-‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ God's plan is to expand his kingdom and He does it through His children. He blessed a man and a woman in marriage to have godly offspring and raise them for His glory. Any male can have sex with a female and make children, but it takes a real man and woman to raise children in the Lord. It takes consistency, patience, love and courage. satan hates this because it's a terror to him and his kingdom.

“Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. When a husband and wife are in agreement it is the most powerful thing on the planet! There is nothing satan can do when you have a marriage that's in agreement with the Word of God. Join me for a deep dive into this discussion about why satan hates marriage Part 2.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. satan hates the institution of marriage between a man and a woman because it represents what Jesus is to the Church.

Are you authentic, real or transparent? Jesus led in love but was very real and authentic. He has called us to be authentic as well. As Christians, when we are not authentic or real then we are giving others a cheap version of who God made us to be. It causes us to walk in a superficial grace. We need God's love and power in a godless society that truly needs the light of a Living Savior, Jesus.

Philippians 3:13-14 says brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God's heavenly call in Christ Jesus.” ‭‭Even though, some of us have a troubled pasts, God takes what the enemy meant for bad and turns it out for our good. We don't have to be a prison to our past but we can use it as a weapon against the enemy. The enemy knows we are called to greatness and wants to stop God's plan for our lives. When we step into our purpose, we are very difficult to deal with and the enemy can't stop us in Jesus name. Please listen take a listen, you will be blessed!

The world's system is designed to strip us men of our godliness, leadership and manhood. It is a Babylonian society just like in the days of Daniel, that only tried to strip him and his friends of their identity, but they stood firm in their godly convictions. Satan cannot create so he uses his system to rape and pillage Christians of their identity in Christ. Gender confusion and identity crises are at an all time high in this generation. It is a matter of the heart and we have to protect our hearts. The Bible says, Guard your heart above all else(Proverbs 4:23). The Father created us in His image.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ God wants us to seek His kingdom and his way of doing things. There is freedom in knowing that our Father loves us and sees us as servants and His sons. It's sorry to say in some churches there is a “perception of perfection” which makes us feel like we will never measure up which is “KingDumb.” We need to keep seeking our perfection and love in Him which is “Kingdom.” Please subscribe and listen to this podcast, I pray it blesses you!

Did you grow up without your parents? Maybe you were a victim of abuse from a parent, or a father figure? Do you feel alone or abandoned? Jesus also felt alone so when He died on the cross. Jesus cried out to His Father when He turned His back(Matt 27:46) on His Son so he can take our sins at the cross. The Word Orphan means: A child who is bereaved of father or mother or of both. Characteristics of an orphan Some Characteristics of an Orphan: * doesn't know where his/her next meal is coming from. * doesn't know much about his/her identity. * has no security about who will take care of him/her. * has no one to cherish or treasure him/her. * lacks a family to lean on for help or comfort. Jesus took all of these insecurities and more at the cross for us so we don't have to bear the weight of being Fatherless and alone. Jesus promised us He will never leave us as “orphans” Listen to the second installment of the “Broken Son” series “Exposing the Orphan Spirit” scripture reference: Isaiah 14:12-15, Matt 27:46, John 13:34-35, John 14:18

The question is, do you know you're free? Men often pursue freedom in their careers, accomplishments, money, fame, sex, women or drug use. That's not freedom, that's bondage, true freedom only comes from Jesus Christ and His finished works at the cross! Listen as I talk about true freedom in God's word.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:21 “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” ‭‭When you receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. And His finished works, you are made righteous. Salvation is a gift(Ephesians 2:8-9). We didn't deserve it nor did we earn it. It is a free gift given to us because God simply loves us and we believe in His righteousness. It is just that simple, as a result we can live a guilt free life knowing Jesus covers our sin and loves us through all things. You no longer have to be defeated, down and ashamed by your past or the enemy's lies. Jesus loves us and wants us to live a guilt free life.

“For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!”” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:15‬ ‭CSB‬‬ As fathers, we need to know how to love our children more intentionally and unconditionally. When we do this, our children will see the way our Heavenly Father love. We are to be loving our children not harsh or judgmental. Loving our children with God's love is one of the best gifts we can give to them!

***Men*** are wanted for dominance. God created us to dominant in leading our households, communities, and churches. It's time for us to step into our place of God given authority, purpose and plan. When godly men step in, the enemy has to flee in Jesus name! Join me as I discuss “it's time to step in!” Scripture references: 1 Corinthians 9:9-10, Proverbs 20:7, Romans 1:26-32

Mark 1:11, And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased". God affirmed His Son Jesus and we as fathers need to constantly love and affirm our children as well.  Our children need us and we need to be more intentional about loving them unconditionally with support.  We are not their drill sergeant but their fathers to love them with the Father's love.
