Training to Overcome the Natural Man and Lead with PurposeIn this bold and convicting message from our Rise Up series, men are called to reject passivity and embrace godly discipline. Pastor challenges every man to rise above the natural desires that sabotage our leadership, homes, and spiritual lives.With practical clarity, he lays out five essential disciplines—daily prayer, knowing God's Word, faithful church attendance, radical generosity, and intentional evangelism. These are not optional extras—they are the foundation for men who want to lead well, love deeply, and live powerfully.This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being prepared. It’s time to stop making excuses and start building spiritual muscle. God is calling men to stand up, speak out, and live differently.
