This week, on Momentum, Ian Westmoreland OAM shares his experience of mentoring men. This is part 2 of 2. Listen to the podcast.

In this episode I share a person application from the content of Galatians we have studied so far, and then we move into some new verses and answer the question, "Who are the true children of Abraham?"Scriptures referenced:John 14:6Romans 5:1-2Hebrews 12:5-112 Corinthians 5:21Proverbs 1:7Proverbs 9:10Romans 12:2Ephesians 5:10Hebrews 5:12-14Galatians 3:1-9Galatians 2:16, 21Genesis 15:1-6Genesis 12:1-3Matthew 1:1-17Matthew 3:7-9John 8:39-47Matthew 8:5-13Romans 3:23Matthew 11:28-30**CORRECTIONS**When quoting Galatians 3:7, I accidentally omitted the word "the". Here is the passage verbatim: "Know then that it is those of faith who are the sons of Abraham."In John 8:40, I said "that" when the verse actually says "this". It makes no interpretive difference, but here is the quote verbatim: "This is not what Abraham did." Similarly, later in the passage I added the word "you" in one place it wasn't. The verse says, "...If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?" (John 8:46).BibliographyUtley, Bob. "GALATIANS 3." Free Bible Commentary.

In this episode we look at the biblical example of the Israelites who failed to enter into the Promised Land and reflect on what keeps us from occupying it in our own lives."The word crisis comes from a Greek word that means decision or judgment. A crisis of belief is not a calamity in your life but a turning point where you must make a decision. It is a situation that forces you to decide what you truly believe about God. The way you respond at this turning point will determine whether you become involved with God in something God-sized that only He can do or whether you will continue to go your own way and miss what He purposed for your life. This is not a one-time experience. It is a regular occurrence. The way you live your life is a testimony to what you believe about God" (Experiencing God).Scriptures referenced:Proverbs 17:32 Peter 1:3-4James 1:2-4Hebrews 12:5-11John 10:10John 15:1-5Romans 8:29Numbers 13-14Isaiah 26:3Psalm 56:3-4Joshua 13:1-7Judges 3:1-4Joshua 11:21-221 Samuel 17:4**CORRECTION**I slightly misquoted 2 Peter 1:3-4. Here is the verse: "His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire."BibliographyBlackaby, Henry, Richard Blackaby, and Claude King.

This episode is a continuation of our journey through Galatians. We look at Abraham as an example of being counted righteous apart from works. In many ways, this episode serves as a link in the chain. In it we look back at things we have discussed so far and revisit those truths, and in it we also set the stage for the conversation we will have next time.Scriptures referenced:Galatians 3:1-6Galatians 2:16, 21Romans 3:23Romans 6:232 Corinthians 5:21Romans 5:1-2Genesis 12:1-3Genesis 15:1-6John 3:16John 1:9-13Romans 4:1-12, 18-25Galatians 2:3James 1:5-6James 2:14-26John 16:13John 14:15Psalm 55:22Matthew 11:28-30BibliographyTripp, Paul David.

In this episode, we sit down with Ian Westmoreland, a former IT project manager who walked away from a high-paying corporate career to find his true "why" at age 59 and a half. Ian shares the remarkable "synchronicity" of reading a book on a train that changed the course of his life to the day, leading him to found Mentoring Men, a national movement providing free one-to-one life mentoring for Australian men. We dive deep into his journey from the corporate world to community impact, his battle with stage four cancer, and the birth of Kintsugi Heroes—a storytelling platform dedicated to those who have overcome adversity. Key Moments • The turning point: Why Ian left a 40-year IT career to focus on community impact. • Life Mentoring vs. Business Mentoring: Why listening is more powerful than advice. • The founding of Mentoring Men and the mission to support men through life's challenges. • The 59.5-year-old epiphany: A literal life-changing moment on a Sydney train. • Resilience in the face of Stage 4 Cancer and the power of gratitude during recovery. • Moving past judgment: Understanding the underlying causes of addiction and homelessness. • Redefining success: Why a blue-collar worker with love is more successful than a billionaire. • The birth of Kintsugi Heroes and the power of sharing stories of adversity. Notable Quotes: • "Life mentoring is predominantly listening—90% listening, supporting, and encouraging."  • "The two most important days in your life are the day you're born and the day you work out why." — Mark Twain (cited by Ian)  • "I'd rather have a purpose than a Porsche." — Rugby League Legend (cited by Ian)  Guest Bio:  Ian Westmoreland spent over four decades in the telecommunications and energy sectors before transitioning to full-time community service. He is the founder of Mentoring Men and Kintsugi Heroes, and was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2024 for his dedication to supporting men's mental health and wellbeing.

In this episode we talk about the dangers of isolation and how important it is to have genuine, vulnerable relationships with other believersScriptures referenced:1 Samuel 24-25Luke 5:15-16Mark 1:35-38Psalm 105:4Hebrews 11:6Ecclesiastes 4:9-12Proverbs 18:1John 2:24-25Matthew 26:36-38Matthew 23:12Luke 14:11Luke 18:14James 4:6Galatians 6:1-2Proverbs 27:17Hebrews 3:12-13Hebrews 10:24-25John 13:34-35Ephesians 4:32Colossians 3:16James 5:16John 6:70Matthew 26:20-221 Peter 4:10-111 Corinthians 12:12-20John 15:1-5Proverbs 26:12Proverbs 12:15Romans 12:16James 1:22**CORRECTIONS**At one point, I said "In John 2:24-23" (which makes no sense). What I meant to say was John 2:24-25.I accidentally added the word "and" to 1 Peter 4:10-11. It didn't change the meaning, but here is the verse verbatim: "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen."I did something similar with 1 Corinthians 12:14, which says, "For the body does not consist of one member but of many."Feel free to email the podcast at ijustwanttotalkabout@gmail.com, and we will respond as soon as we are able!I WANT TO BE DISCIPLEDI am on staff with another ministry called Mentoring Men for the Master (M3).

In this episode we look in the mirror and ask ourselves the question of whether we love the glory that comes from man or the glory that comes from God more.Scriptures referenced:John 12:36-43Matthew 6:1-18Matthew 23:5-7Matthew 5:14-16Acts 4:23-31; 13:1-3Psalm 127:1Matthew 23:11-12John 15:5James 4:6Luke 14:7-11Matthew 28:18-20Luke 6:26John 15:18-20Psalm 115:1Mark 10:42-45Psalm 51:1-2, 7, 10Galatians 1:10**CORRECTIONS**When quoting John 12:38, I accidentally added the word "has" where it wasn't. It didn't affect the meaning, but here is the verse verbatim: "so that the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: 'Lord, who has believed what he heard from us, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?'"When quoting Psalm 115:1 I accidentally omitted the word "your" once.

In this episode we talk about how the Bible is a means to the end of knowing Jesus more intimately, and we look at one specific practice we can do to approach the Scriptures this way.NET footnote on Psalm 23:6 and the word "follow" (or "pursue"): "The use of רָדַף (radaf, “pursue, chase”) with טוֹב וָחֶסֶד (tov vakhesed, “goodness and faithfulness”) as subject is ironic. This is the only place in the entire OT where either of these nouns appears as the subject of this verb רָדַף (radaf, “pursue”). This verb is often used to describe the hostile actions of enemies. One might expect the psalmist's enemies (see v. 5) to chase him, but ironically God's “goodness and faithfulness” (which are personified and stand by metonymy for God himself) pursue him instead. The word “pursue” is used outside of its normal context in an ironic manner and creates a unique, but pleasant word picture of God's favor (or a kind God) “chasing down” the one whom he loves."Scriptures referenced:Matthew 15:8John 17:3John 6:63Psalm 127:1Psalm 27:8Matthew 11:28Psalm 138:3Psalm 9:1-2Psalm 8:3-4Psalm 1:2-3Psalm 18:28-29Psalm 51:10Psalm 30:11-12Psalm 13:1-6Psalm 10:1Psalm 27:10Psalm 7:1-2Psalm 46:1-3Psalm 147:10-11Psalm 143:7-12Psalm 63:1-4, 8Psalm 139:1-16Psalm 23**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**I said the guy who disciples me had me write on the front cover, "I read this book to know Jesus more."
