Podcasts about passivity

Are modern men slowly losing their grip on what it means to truly lead?You're working hard. You're showing up. You're providing. But still—your marriage feels off. You're getting blindsided by disconnection, resentment, or even divorce. You're trying to be a good man, yet nothing seems to be enough. Why is it that despite doing “everything right,” so many men are silently failing in the one place that matters most—at home?In this powerful conversation, we dive deep with Quentin Hafner, therapist, author of Black Belt Husband, and coach to high-performing men. What makes Quentin different? He's not your typical therapist—he's a former corporate climber who hit rock bottom after a divorce, did the inner work, and made it his life's mission to help other men heal, lead, and thrive. And he's brutally honest about what's wrong with traditional therapy and how it can actually keep men stuck.Quotes:"My mission field is to really serve men in that capacity, help men heal so they can be highly effective in their families."- Quentin Hafner"There's a time to sit in that pain, not to wallow in it and be miserable, but to be self-reflective and contemplative. - Quentin Hafner"When you trust yourself, other people trust you more too." - Matt BeaudreauKey Takeaways:Most “marriage problems” are personal problems in disguise.According to Quentin, couples often don't have relationship issues—they have individual wounds and unresolved trauma showing up in the marriage.70% of divorces are initiated by women.The most common reason? A deep emotional pain: “I didn't feel like I mattered.” Men often don't realize their wives are emotionally disconnecting until it's too late.Men underestimate the power of emotional safety.Many men believe being a good provider and father is enough. But their wives are craving emotional connection—not just physical security.Passivity is killing modern marriages.High-performing men often become passive or conflict-avoidant in their relationships, fearing they'll come off as controlling. Quentin calls this “fear-based passivity,” and it erodes trust and respect.Conclusion:This episode is a powerful wake-up call for any man who wants to lead—not just at work, but where it matters most: at home. Quentin Hafner doesn't sugarcoat the truth—he reveals how being a passive, well-intentioned husband can still lead to emotional disconnection and even divorce.But there's hope.Leadership in marriage isn't about being dominant or controlling—it's about creating emotional safety, setting the tone, and becoming the kind of man your wife and children naturally trust and follow. Quentin reminds us that real strength isn't found in aggression or avoidance—it's found in presence, purpose, and self-awareness.If you're ready to stop reacting and start leading—with clarity, confidence, and connection—this conversation is your blueprint.Because becoming a Black Belt Husband isn't about perfection. It's about transformation.And it starts with you.Call to Action:Ready to step into your role as a strong, emotionally safe, and purpose-driven leader in your home?

In this episode of the Man Warrior King podcast, host Matt Hallock explores how the desire to please God can accidentally lead to passivity in marriage. He emphasizes the importance of taking action and partnering with God rather than constantly waiting FOR God. Through biblical examples, particularly the story of Jonathan, Matt encourages men to take initiative in their marriages and lives. He also discusses practical steps for change and highlights resources available for men seeking transformation.TakeawaysYour desire to please God can lead to inaction.Passivity in marriage can lead to deterioration.Women are attracted to men who take action.God desires partnership with us in our actions.Moses was rebuked for inaction; God wants us to move forward.Jonathan took initiative without direct revelation from God.Taking action can initiate God's miraculous work.You have a green light to act until told otherwise.Transformation can feel effortless with the right mindset.Resources like the Masculine Husband program can facilitate change.Pick up your copy of The DNA of a Man here: https://thrive.manwarriorking.com/dna-2025Join The Masculine Husband 3-month Marriage Intensive here: https://thrive.manwarriorking.com/masculinehusbandSubscribe to Matt and Man Warrior King on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/@manwarriorking/Chapters00:00 The Desire to Please God: A Double-Edged Sword07:25 Partnership with God: Action vs. Inaction12:56 Taking Initiative: The Story of Jonathan18:50 Practical Steps for Marital Improvement25:07 Transformative Change: The Masculine Husband Program27:27 Outro exported.mp3

Day 3 of 57 | Mind Empowerment: The Difference Between Passivity and Humility

The phrase “If it's meant to happen, it will” has become really popular in the spiritual community. And while I believe there's some truth in it, I also feel like a lot of people use it as an excuse to not take any action and to passively watch their life unfold, thinking that everything is planned out already anyway. To sit and wait, because “if it's meant to be, surely it will happen at some point, right?”In this episode, I discuss: Why waiting for the Universe to “deliver” without action can keep you stuckThe difference between surrendering and pushing away responsibilityHow aligned action plays a crucial role in manifesting your dreamsMy personal experiencesThe power of co-creationGIVEAWAY ANNOUNCEMENTTo celebrate the Soul Alignment podcast's 2nd birthday, I'm running a giveaway from Friday, July 18, until Friday, July 24!

In this sermon, Pastor Keith examines Joab's scheme, Absalom's return, and David's hesitant kiss, exposing the tragic results of manipulated mercy, sentimentalism, and unresolved sin. Through a fake parable, a forced return, false beauty, and a feeble kiss, we see that every shortcut to peace—without repentance and justice—only results in greater division. Pastor Keith urges us to seek true restoration not in human schemes, but in the righteous and gracious King Jesus, who alone brings peace with God and men through the cross.

Our Passivity is Crippling our Breakthrough!by Simply Jecker

Does passivity tempt you? Do you act or react? Are you willing to take responsibility? In today's episode, Patrick shares how 2 Samuel 14 encourages us to repent of our passivity and turn to the God of action, who sets us free to do right in the world.

What if the “peace” you're protecting in your marriage… is actually costing you real connection?In this episode, we're unpacking how passivity can disguise itself as love—especially in Christian marriages. We've seen it in our own relationship: moments when silence looked like patience, but it was actually fear. Times when we avoided conflict, convinced we were being kind or godly, but bitterness was the fruit.We explore:Why passivity is not the same as peacekeepingHow we can accidentally mislabel people-pleasing & call it love Why stuffing your voice for the sake of love can slowly erode intimacy3  self-reflection questions :

Adult survivors of SRA have layers of mind control programming that lead them into a life of passivity. They must be passive to themselves to protect their family and the group of origin to grow up (that's their job), and as adults, they internalize that job as it comes through in many other areas of life that get justified as necessary. They may find themselves playacting to look a certain way to people, blocking off feelings to keep others from truly knowing them or knowing themselves, refusing to protect themselves by having no boundaries, a refusal of self compassion, or holding onto dissociation as a coping mechanism when instead they could choose dealing with situations to get out. Instead of taking self on to cope, learn, and grow, the survivor gets stuck due to internalizing the original programming. The original purpose of the programming was to protect the family at all costs, and this lie continues with the need to protect something, as the survivor continues to fill in the blank with endless reasons. In today's discussion, John talks about passivity towards himself, how he noticed this in his life, how he is working to fight the programming and lies, and what a life of walking out of this mind control looks like.

Holding onto grudges and past hurts not only affects our relationships but also prevents us from experiencing true peace and freedom. Pastor Jerry unpacks how unforgiveness and offense can act as major barriers to emotional, spiritual, and physical healing.  

Samuel 131. We are called to action, not passivity2. Three reasons we choose passivity     -Shame     -Uncertainty     -Fear of Conflict3. Avoidance does not solve the problem4. If you do not lead, someone else will5. Avoidance Compounds Issues6. Change is a Process

What happens when churches move beyond "pious passivity" to strategic intentionality in reaching the lost? Richard Coekin—founding pastor of Dundonald Church in London and pioneer of REACH UK—joins Dominic Steele to unpack the revolutionary approach transforming churches across Australia and the United Kingdom.Following on from Reach UK and Reach Australia in May, Richard candidly shares his journey from skepticism about "Pentagon language" and structured frameworks to embracing these tools as valuable expressions of pastoral care and evangelistic intentionality. "If you don't aim at anything, nothing will happen," he explains, challenging the notion that strategic thinking somehow diminishes reliance on God's sovereignty.We look at the biblical foundations for strategic ministry, with Richard pointing to Acts 6 as a model where the apostles prioritized preaching and prayer, built ministry teams for delegation, and ensured the church's practical needs were met. Plus we discuss measuring spiritual fruit. Whether you're skeptical of strategic approaches to ministry or already embracing them, this conversation offers fresh insights on leading churches that are both faithful to Scripture and effective in mission. Anglican AidTo find out more about giving tax deductibly to Anglican Aid.

BOOK:LIONHEARTEDhttps://lionhearted.com/WHY THIS BOOK WHY NOW? WHY YOU? WHY LIONHEARTED? EXPLAIN HOW THE HEART IS THE CENTERPIECE OF OUR MANHOODSTATE OF MANHOOD? There is no such thing as neutrality in the life of faith. Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force." Passivity is not an option. Inactivity is a vote to go back to living and looking like the old you. It's the easiest thing in the world for a Christian man to be too passive, and hardness sets in as a result.WHAT FEARS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT THE LITTLE C CHURCH? FULL OF BOX-CHECKING POSERS? RELIGIOUS LABELS PRESSED AND PLEATED WHEN/HOW DID YOU OWN YOUR FAITH?QUOTES: “Going to church is a dangerous hobby. You are operating on the mistaken assumption that putting yourself in proximity to truth will be enough to provoke positive incremental change in you. “ “Your spiritual outlook is the equivalent of the college student sleeping with a textbook under his pillow, hoping he can prepare for the exam by osmosis. The problem is that hearing God's Word without taking the dramatic action that it demands is doing damage to your soul. “ “Doing spiritual things” - you know that's what a Christian is supposed to do - you are playing games with life-and-death truth. Your docile disposition is killing the potential work of God in you.” “And what's so dangerous about that way of living is that the longer you allow that to continue unchecked, the more difficult it becomes to break the cycle. Passivity perpetuates passivity.”TUNA HEARTWHAT DOES A FINELY TUNED HEART LOOK LIKE?HOW DO WE KNOW OUR HEART IS OUT OF TUNE?WHAT ARE INFLUENCES THAT GIVE US FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW IN TUNE OUR HEARTS ARE?TOOLS THAT FINELY TUNE OUR HEARTS?HOW DO WE DEFEND AGAINST THIS COMPLACENCY?You will always need men in your life who can call you out, who can tell you that something is off. And it will always take humility to listen, but as you lean into the tuning and retuning process, your hear will grow, and you will progressively unlock the potential that it possesses.HOW DO WE FIND THE RIGHT MEN TO HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE?CH 5 HE(ART) OF DECEPTION Many men willfully choose to view themselves, their mo-tivations, their decisions, and their actions through a lens that is detached from reality. Your self-assessment is detached from reality. We would prefer to believe that our intentions are what's most im-portant. We live from a mantra that it's what we meant to do that actually matters. All of this speaks to our preference for nonreality. WHY DO WE JUDGE OTHERS ON THEIR ACTIONS BUT WE JUDGE OURSELVES ON OUR INTENTIONS ?SELF-DECEPTION & VICTIM MENTALITY WE CAN JUSTIFY ANYTHING WE CAN TALK OURSELVES INTO OUR OUT OF ANYTHING WHY IS THERE FAKE FREEDOM ASSIGNED TO THIS DENIAL?SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESSQUOTES:LION HEARTEDNESS HAS one polar opposite: self-righteousness. Self-righteousness IS BORN OUT OF SPIRITUAL INSECURITY SELF-RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE: You are "spiritual," but primarily in relationship to yourself, not your relationship with God. You engage in lots of self-sacrifice without real obedience,HOW DID CHURCH GET SO FULL OF THIS? THOUGHTS ON THIS BEING WHAT HAS KEPT MEN OUT OF CHURCH

In today's episode, I'm diving into the critical attitude shift you need to make if you want to win financially—and in life. Inspired by a shoutout to Nick Foles and Pat O'Donnell, we talk about how aggression, not passivity, is the real game-changer. I'll walk you through personal stories from my college days, a career-defining moment at Deloitte, and lessons I've learned about how being passive can cost you big time.   If you've ever felt like success is just out of reach, this episode will show you why your mindset might be the missing piece—and how you can turn everything around by adopting an aggressive, go-getter mentality. Trust me, once you hear these stories, you'll understand exactly why being proactive is the key to winning in finances, career, and family life.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   [00:00] Shoutout to Nick Foles, Pat O'Donnell, and inspiration from the “Dad Szn” [00:47] Why being too passive is costing you financially—and in life [01:40] How your approach determines if you get help or stay stuck [02:19] Story 1: How I turned a B+ into an A by demanding success [04:27] The key difference between asking and framing your goals [05:52] How mentors naturally want to help when you show initiative [07:15] Writing a national bestselling book by boldly telling Wiley my intention [08:15] Story 2: How passivity nearly cost me my career at Deloitte [09:22] Getting a wake-up call from my recruiter—and what it taught me [12:16] Why being “good enough” isn't good enough if you want to win [14:18] How being aggressive versus passive affects every area of your life [16:12] Why you must demand success for yourself—and for your family [16:59] Final call to action: change your attitude, change your life     Quotables “The aggressor always wins—the passive get stepped on.” “Demand success like it's non-negotiable, and people will show up to help you win.” “Passivity isn't just a mindset; it's a guarantee that you will lose.”     Links & Resources Budgetdog https://budgetdog.com

What do men want? What do women need? And are these unsolvable riddles? Turns out, peace and safety aren't just buzzwords—they're the heartbeat of healthy Christian relationships. In this episode, we dig into a surprising insight: husbands often crave peace, and wives deeply need safety—but both needs grow from the same root… trust. We explore what this looks like practically and spiritually, for people who interact with people—whether single, dating, engaged, or married. Join us as we unpack a powerful reflection that stirred up some serious head-nodding. We talk about how unmet needs can lead to disconnection, drama, or even destructive patterns—but also how flipping the script and doubling down on your side of the relationship can lead to deeper intimacy, healing, and restoration. It's not about finger-pointing. It's about humility, teamwork, and tuning into the Holy Spirit to become a safe and peaceful place for each other. If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “If only they would change… then I could love better,” this episode invites you into a better way—one that honors Christ, builds trust, and offers hope. Whether you're navigating newlywed bumps, deepening your dating connection, or learning how to prepare well in singleness, this episode offers practical wisdom rooted in Scripture and compassion. Let's become people of peace, by walking in the peace of Christ. Romans 12:18...If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Passivity is always a temptation for men. Have you thought about how Aaron's passivity might have affected his children? Listen in.To read the original post, visit https://www.thedisciplemakingparent.com/aaron-and-his-sons/

Have you ever met someone who's physically present but spiritually checked out? They're alive, but barely. Their ambition is gone, their drive is dead, and they're content doing nothing—just folding their hands while life passes them by. The Bible has a word for this: foolishness. Welcome to The Daily, where we engage with God's Word—verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Our text today is Ecclesiastes 4:5-6. The fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh. Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind. — Ecclesiastes 4:5-6 Some live in a state of constant motion, striving endlessly for success but never satisfied. Others, however, take the opposite approach—they fold their arms, refusing to engage, and slowly waste away. Solomon calls this man a fool. He is not just lazy; he is self-destructive. He chooses apathy over action, comfort over calling, and in doing so, he devours himself—his potential, his opportunities, his very life. Some people live in a state of constant motion, striving endlessly for success but never satisfied. Others take the opposite approach—they fold their arms, refusing to engage, and slowly waste away. Solomon calls this person a fool. They're not just lazy; they're self-destructive. They choose apathy over action, comfort over calling, and in doing so, they devour themselves—their potential, opportunities, and purpose. Work is not the enemy. Endless toil without purpose is meaningless, but refusing to engage in the work God has given is equally dangerous. The fool justifies inaction, blaming circumstances, others, or even God for a lack of progress. But the real issue isn't external; it's internal. Passivity consumes from the inside out. Solomon offers a better way: “a handful of quietness.” This isn't laziness—it's contentment. It's the balance between diligent work and resting in God's provision. It's the person who labors faithfully without being defined by their work, who leads, builds, serves, and knows when to release control and trust God. Are you folding your hands when you should be working? Are you waiting for life to happen instead of stepping into God's calling? Don't let apathy consume you. Engage. Build. Lead. Serve. Where in your life have you been passive when God has called you to act? Share your thoughts in the comments and take one step today toward active obedience. #ActiveFaith, #SpiritualWakeUp, #EcclesiastesWisdom ASK THIS: Where have I justified inaction in my life? How has passivity affected my spiritual growth? What does “a handful of quietness” look like for me? How can I balance diligent work with resting in God? DO THIS: Identify one area where you've been passive and take a small, intentional step toward active obedience today. PRAY THIS: Lord, reveal where I've been passive and stir my heart to act. Help me find contentment in You as I work faithfully. Amen. PLAY THIS: Satisfied.
