This episode is a real life look at a prophetic God- dream fulfilled. Lindsay Morgan Snyder, a powerful female author, voice, actress and entrepreneur returns as a guest. Lindsay shares the deeply personal fulfillment of the dream she had interpreted in episode 13, From Death To Life. Over the past year the Holy Spirit has opened big and unexpected doors for her to advance in her calling, chase God dreams and find healing through His abundance, and it's still playing out. From Medi-Spas to acting agents, to $4000 Queen Esther earrings won on Let's Make Deal You- will not want to miss this amazing story, written by God, showing how deeply she is known and loved through his detailed orchestrations. Often we have no idea how much breakthrough is contained in one dream, until it unfolds in life, and then we see so clearly how GLORIOUS God really is and how much God's voice is present in our every day real lives. And as Margaux says, there are always multiple angles and facets to our night dreams and in this instance we get to see the symbolic interpretation and the literal being true side by side.“My whole journey has been from hating myself to learning to let God love me and then learn to actually love myself. Which you know, the Bible is pretty clear, in 1 John it says we love because he first loved us, if we can't learn to receive Gods love we don't really know what love is, we are just making it up.”“When I say unnecessary I just mean its lavish, it's a little over the top, but He's an over the top God. I mean I'm not making this happen, its even a little shocking to me.”Lindsay's INFO: https://lindsaymorgan.co/More on Breathing Underwater Memberships HERENeed Help with dreams or discerning God's Voice?: Free Consultation HERE Join the Community and Newsletter: HERE Email: margaux@permissiontoreign.comInstagram: @permission_to_reignIntro Music by Coma-Media from PixabayImage by Claire Fischer from Unsplash

As a man matures and increases in power, he is absolutely dependent on the integration of feminine love for him to flourish, mature, and thrive in God's Kingdom. – Morgan Snyder Friends, What if integrated masculinity dynamically engaging with integrated femininity was essentially designed by the Living God to communicate abundance, peace, dignity, and the endless safety of God's extravagant and irrevocable love? Husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, friends of both genders slowly and steadily maturing in ever-increasing union—all were intended to radically and creatively bring the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in the heavens.  Heaven's intention has not changed. Men and women need one another, deeply.  Our world has perhaps never needed to see the loving and creative partnership of the masculine and feminine as it does now. Let's find our way together.  Join Cherie and me for Part 2 of this deep dive into the major theme of God and his Kingdom regarding feminine love: The Living God is relentlessly and lovingly pursuing us in and through the feminine. Let's dive in.  For the Kingdom, Morgan

Strategist, entrepreneur, teacher, author, and speaker Morgan Snyder joins us for one of the best conversations we've had on the show. It starts and ends with this idea of becoming, and 2 central questions: Who have I become? Who am I becoming. This episode is a must listen! (Originally aired as episode 132)   NMU Dads Group Signup: https://thenextmanup.com/dadgroup/   Website: becomingaking.com   Expanded Notes:  - Becoming is a central theme for men  - 2 key questions: Who have I become? Who am I becoming?  - Male initiation is part of our spiritual growth  - Every great story borrows from the gospel, which is meant to be the greatest story of our lives  - The image of God (imago dei) is evident in the power that boys & men display or pursue  - Initiation is about learning how to use that power to bless others  - The pocket knife as a metaphorical and literal demonstration of power  - We live in a world at war, where it's hard to be a man (staying true to the process of initiation)  - The magic of the kingdom of God is made available in everyday life

There's the way things work that's essential for every man, his version of it." 22:36 - "So often, it's actually the condition of the orphan that's blocking the radical love of the Father, the pursuit of the Father, the ongoing efforts of the Father to intervene."   Conversation Links   Website: Become Good Soil Book: Becoming a King: The Path To Restoring The Heart Of A Man Podcast: Become Good Soil    Links from dadAWESOME   https://dadawesome.org/life/ Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

They assume, and often, this is subconscious because it's so plays to our DNA, our design as men, they get a desire and then they run with it. We run with it, I run with it and we don't pass because we don't have the miles of knowing the consequence of it going bad... desire is intended to be the fuel for doing the hard work, the brutal, slow process of becoming the kind of man that can fulfill that desire." 12:57 - "That actually when we rush the process, what we do is just hijack the thing that God's doing and so it comes back again because our Father is generous and reluctant, the Holy Spirit is faithful to guide and redeem, everything for good. So, even if it goes completely sideways, not all is lost... as we grow in kingdom, authority and kingdom just reality of what and who were entrusted with, the consequences are much higher."   Conversation Links   Website: Become Good Soil Book: Becoming a King: The Path To Restoring The Heart Of A Man Podcast: Become Good Soil   Links from dadAWESOME   https://dadawesome.org/life/ Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

He serves on the executive leadership team of Wild at Heart and Ransomed Heart Ministries, having served alongside John and Stasi Eldredge for more than two decades. Morgan goes off the grid every chance he gets, whether bow hunting in the Colorado wilderness or choosing the adventurous life with his greatest treasures: his wife, Cherie; his son, Joshua; and his daughter, Abigail.   Ministry Shout Out   Radical Mentoring A mentoring process that equips men to develop authentic relationships and overcome the issues holding them back from living “life to the full.”   Conversation Notes   2:45  - Talking about his “second great conversion”… “To become a son has changed everything for me…C.S. Lewis said, ‘I believe in Christianity like I believe in the sunrise.I believe in it because I see it every day, but it's by the sun I see all things.' ...To become a son is my sunrise. I believe it because I've experienced it to be true. To unlearn God as Father the way I've learned it wrong and to open my heart to receive him as the true Father he intends to be. It's by that I see all things.” 4:28 - Growing up in a home without God - winning the “game” of life - having success in many areas, but losing his soul. 5:26 - giving his life to God 6:24 - "God became my father, my pastor, my guide,  I entered into a slow and steady process of being initiated as a man and fathered as a son. And so where I find myself now is ...in process of over two decades of making my life about becoming the kind of man in whom God is glad to entrust more and more of the care of his kingdom, becoming more and more honest about what's not yet, about what is under construction. But that used to feel like a weight and now feels like a promise because there's so much hope.” 7:28  - His wife is the Chief Life Officer. 9:58 - His wife shared in counseling, “I feel like a bird locked in a cage. And I can't fly"…. That wasn't my heart's intention at all. I dreamed about being a loving husband, but the fruit was I was a broken man, an unhealed boy inside a man that was still driving to get his question answered by achieving. I am loved when I come through. I am loved when I achieve. And now it's just in the name of God, it's just in the name of being a husband. And all the while my strength wasn't actually rescuing the beauty, it wasn't actually fighting for her, it was actually diminishing the glory of her life.” 11:29 - “I believe one of the greatest sacred trusts given to me is to champion her calling and allow her to thrive as the Chief Life Officer.” 11:47 - Finding the way to the center of your daughter's heart. 12:16 - A birth experience gone wrong 13:27 - “God I agree with your story for my son, and I want to participate with what you have planned for him. I want to participate in initiation and I'll participate in the birth story you have.” 13:47 - "God is very interested and motivated in the initiation of our children. It's what makes Him come alive. He has their best interests in mind. And when I put down my agenda, I got curious. I got responsive. The path that my children have chosen and the God has chosen for them is not what I would have chosen in so many ways, but being a student and being attentive and participating has changed everything." 15:00 - Talking about his daughter - "I approach her with a question of ‘Holy Spirit would you show me her heart? Who did you make [her] to be? And how do I bring my delight to her and communicate consistently - [you] are loved. And there is nothing you can do or not do and say or not say  that will cause me to withdraw my delight. And if I can get that right, then everything else becomes secondary.” 18:13 - How do I initiate my son? 19:00 - "Fundamentally, when we can pull back from the trees and see the forest, we offer the sum total of who we've become, we will apprentice our kids for good or for ill into the person we've become.” 19:17 - Technology and growing up as an adolescent girl in our current culture. 20:16 - we try to offer what we haven't received and offer what we haven't become….. 21:52 - whole-hearted parenting and growing in union with God 22:00 - "We can only fake it for so long and until we come to an understanding that excavation is simply non-negotiable bc when we build on a shoddy foundation, we don't know until the storm comes but the storm will come. We are in a culture of uncertainty and in a time of shaking." 23:32 - Immaturity vs. sin 25:31 - "Reality is what we bump into when we're wrong." - Dallas Willard 26:10 - Look to the older men in your life and ask where did they get taken out or hijacked. 26:23 - "I have a choice. I either have to settle for engineering a small life, ... where life becomes mostly about comfort, security and arranging for a life that I can control, or at least have the illusion that I can control and it doesn't require me to change. And that's what most men become. Or I can take those exclamation points and I can start asking questions." 27:03 - "We really only have two choices, either humility or humiliation." 27:17 - "I realized the questions are the core to apprenticeship and it's the questions that led me back to the path of life." 30:21 - "Someone with my best interests in mind is at work. What I recovered was an upside down kingdom. Where most men build, the invitation was to stop building and allow God to excavate so that he can build your character - not just morality but whole-heartedness." 32:02 - "Actually it's the good soil, cultivated over time, that yields the supernatural harvest." 34:54 - PODCAST EPISODE ABOUT MARGIN 35:28 - How does a fish know that it's water is polluted? 36:45 - We are in an age of exponential change and we all, as a culture, carry more load than our limits. 37:15 - So if we come to terms that we are in an aggressive culture that wants to destroy our margin, the gap between our load and our limits, then we understand we have to fight to protect that space. 37:32 - "The great frontier in our age is our attention and our affection, and its in margin, its in the space between the load and limits, that we can recover our attention and our affection which was actually meant to be the epicenter of where we grow with intimacy with God." 39:00 - "Identify your load. Identify your healthy, sustainable limits. And if your load exceeds your limits, then that's a frontier in which you need to be curious with about God."   Conversation Links:   Become Good Soil Book - Becoming A King: The Path To Restoring The Heart Of A Man - Morgan Snyder's Becoming a King speaks unabashedly to men, teaching them the life-changing truth about the power that God intends for them to responsibly step into for his Kingdom, while also giving women an honest peek behind the curtain into the lives and hearts of the men they know and love.

It is the epicenter.” 18:38 – “We are reaping the fruit of a lot of human brokenness generationally….Many kids are growing up either without a dad present, or without a present dad.

Episode #5 - The Journey Show NotesJourneyIt used to be that a "journey" was all in a day's work. Now it takes a lifetime. A new Hallmark line of cards called "Journeys" shows that the word "journey," originally a literal unit of time and travel, has become a metaphor for the experience of living life with all its ups and downs. - GoogleLife is a processYou are always experiencing a conversionImpatience is a dangerous thing when it comes to interior journeys, spiritual quests, pilgrimages of the soul. PilgrimageA pilgrimage is a journey, often into an unknown or foreign place, where a person searches for new or expanded meaning about themself, others, nature, or higher good, through the experience. It can lead to a personal transformation, after which the pilgrim returns to their daily life.For in these journeys, we must cover the miles step-by-step, feeling the terrain as we pass through it, responding to its challenges. There is no rushing this; there are no shortcuts. But that is what makes it so beautiful and dangerous and wonderful. We don't snap a few photos and rush on; rather, we are changed by our travels. I think C. H. Spurgeon had this in mind when he warned that a pilgrim would be better served “by one book thoroughly mastered than by twenty books he has merely skimmed. Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.” Or hasty travel, we might add.(Morgan Snyder @ becomegoodsoil.com)

The choice to let our true selves be seen. –Brené Brown Courage begets courage.  That was my experience of Nancy Carmichael when she invited me to share a conversation on her podcast, Isle of Misfits. Her podcast predominantly serves a tribe of women; and truth be told, of the over 40 podcasts, interviews, radio shows, and events I've been invited to participate with regarding the launch of Becoming a King, Nancy was the only woman to bravely and boldly extend me an invitation.  All of the other communities, organizations, and tribes have been hosted by men.  Of course, on the surface, this ratio makes sense: Becoming a King appears to be a message for men.  Yet experience tells me it's more than that. My sense is that the lack of invitation reflects the aggregate negative impact of fallen masculinity upon women. Many women—perhaps especially those who have fought hard for a voice and presence as a cultural influencer—have been failed not only by the individual men in their lives, but also by long-standing cultural structures that, rather than holding esteem and respect for female influence and power, have brought contempt. Many women, if given a choice, would just as well choose to steer clear of masculinity.  Why would a woman risk opening her heart to masculinity when she has been failed for so long on so many levels? As the Spirit has been opening my eyes and allowing me to begin to see the depth and breadth of the degrading, harmful, and disempowering impact of broken masculinity upon women, what comes up for me is deep sorrow and a desire to be a part of what God is doing on the earth to turn the tide. I have seen many of your lives. I know you stand with me in wanting to be a humbled and strong-hearted portion of the restoration of all things, particularly as it relates to masculinity. Instead of unconsciously recirculating contempt and debasement, my desire is to take the lowest seat, hear from women, and listen and learn—then partner together to help restore masculinity as it was meant to be.  The privilege of engaging with Nancy and the Isle of Misfits was catalytic in my own relationship with God. In the hope of passing on what I recieved, I wanted to bring this episode to Become Good Soil for our mutual strengthening.  Here is Nancy's reflection on the work of Isle of Misfits and on the conversation that we share in this episode: If you've hung around these parts for any length of time, you know that we hold dearly to our core principles, beginning with the dearest of the dear: the clarion call to “Own Your Awkward.” I gotta tell you, though, in this particular episode with Morgan Snyder from Wild at Heart and Become Good Soil, that little value of ours was put to the test, and I was tempted to edit the H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks out of it. Don't get me wrong. It was a great conversation, not just about Morgan's new book, Becoming a King, but about, oh, a lot of things. The “new normal.” God as “genderful.” Acknowledging wounds and healing hurts.  There is deep insight, let me tell you. In fact, so much so, that at one point in the conversation it took a turn toward the vulnerable, and I had to make a choice as to whether I'd keep that part to myself or share it with you all.  In the end, I decided not to edit it out, ‘cause, well, sometimes a little vulnerability makes for a much more interesting conversation.  Friends, let's dare greatly together and dive in. For the Kingdom, Morgan
