This talk hits home. I've recently been under a lot of stress and my character has been trash. I recognize the problem. I won't stop trying to improve.
“Character” is more than a state in a given period of time. It’s who you are, at the core. You cant have “bad character” days or moments. You either have or dont have good character.
@@Tunagates22this rings true. However as Chuck pointed out the bad character can often be reserved or held in check until times of duress. I don't think the OP's posting neglects your point but perhaps recognizes it in the parting commitment.
Does humility imply understanding yourself as a seeker of truth and God instead of self-identifying as someone who has the truth, is "saved" or "chosen"?
Oh yeah, I'll bet you're a trump voter though huh? Better realize that all you did was pick the lesser of two evils. Trump don't care about you or any of his voters. He's been a Democrat his whole life and he always will be. Not that that's much worse than being a republican though
1 Corinthians 15:33 NLT - Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.” Solid teaching, Chad, thanks again 👍
meekness is a term that is completely misinterpreted and your a huge person and a great man bro .. to be meek isn't to be weak .. i appreciate you bro appreciate your devotion...
Thanks, actually needed that. Been in a few situations recently where its been hard to keep from lashing out and continue to be understanding. It's nice to have some reinforcement that I'm doing the right thing.
A good character trait is also the ability to walk away. Wether it be a bad situation, a negative confrontation or just bad people. I had to learn that trait and it was difficult for me because I thought that I always had to argue my point. Sometimes the best response is no response at all.
Which God? Who's God? Imagination isn't reality. Believing in a contradictory theory can only be maintained with delusional psychosis. An all powerful "creator" that is perfect in every way wouldn't create an imperfect planet that kills hundreds of thousands of his children every year.
Thats not exactly what Jesus Christ taught, your basically saying no one can become born again Christian. Not everyone and not most but at least some people can change.
I'm in the process of rebuilding my character, from the foundation up. Man, I'm even talking to church people again. It's a small step in the right direction of where I'm headed. Don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way there kinda thing. I speak for more than myself when I say that I highly encourage these biblical breakdowns of character building. We need men that step up and true authenticity is the way to do it.
Ability can be a taught and learned, Character is what makes a true leader. When people believe in the cause, they will exceed their limits. It takes a leader with true character to inspire people to greatness. Excellent question Chadd!
Chadd, like many people are saying, I think this is probably the best truck talk you’ve done brother. I can really tell you are well spoken from all your podcasting and public speaking. I remember you saying you did these truck talks in one take. Thanks so much for the well spoken Biblical wisdom. It hit a nerve on some things in my life recently.
Well said sir. Just prayed before listening to this and those were 5 of several things that I prayed to God to help me be a better Godly man, husband, and father is 2025. I love your Truck Talks brother! You and Shawn have great content that I look forward to every week!
Well done! This is your best yet and the reason I liked it so much is that you used Scripture perfectly. So Often, people quote Scripture out of context or twisted to "prove" their point. You used it exactly the way it was meant to be used...to teach and instruct . As a retired sailor and active minister, I appreciate what you do. Keep it up!
Character is far, far more important than ability. One can acquire an ability in a day and hone it over time. Character is partly inherent, but mostly takes years to develop. Once it's locked in, it's not going anywhere. If you drop off on an ability for a few months, you get rusty. Character is crystalline; ability is liquid.
Chadd, I absolutely agree with you that character is more important than skill. Another great podcast brother! I love seeing your faith being reflected in your discussion of these topics. Keep up the good work brother
Excellent self reflection episode. I have poor/weak character…but everyday, every task, every word that comes from my mouth is a test/exercise in character.
Jimmy Carter had good character. Not sure of ability as president. Always heard …. “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.”John Wooden( a legendary basketball player coach)
Strive to instill these traits into life. As adults we have to bestow these to the young so they themselves can strive to be better than us. Be patient and time tells all. Happy New Year 3of7 🤙🏻
I agree with you Chad, we ALL have bad moments. It’s easy to point out others faults or mistakes, much harder to find a way to give them grace. Mindset is everything, change the channel and see if you can come up with something positive about a guy who’s putting himself out to try and make positive changes in the Country.
Everyday we write the book. Do the right thing. Every moment hinges on the next. That's why what we do now is really important. Be good. Happy New Year
God Bless you Chadd hope your New Years is Bright thank you for all these truck talks as it helps put some things into perspective as so so many sheep are clueless as to what could unfold in there lives at any moment..
Man that was real Chadd. Thankyou sir. And thank you for your service. I did mine on a submarine so Im not a warrior like you but we are all fighting the same battles of good and evil
Money he has a lot of money and trump only cares about money. So Elon dog walks him a few million at a time it breaks the illusion trump can't be bought. That's why yall are having a hard time comprehending your disdain for Elon
character is more valuable. It is much harder to improve or change. if someone doesn’t have character, it’s much harder to give them a character. Skills and abilities are things that can be learned and honed through practice and repetition. If someone doesn’t have a skill or ability, it’s very possible to train them.
This talk hits home. I've recently been under a lot of stress and my character has been trash. I recognize the problem. I won't stop trying to improve.
Motivation will get you started. Discipline will keep you going.
“Character” is more than a state in a given period of time. It’s who you are, at the core. You cant have “bad character” days or moments. You either have or dont have good character.
Recognizing the problem is one of the most important steps. No problem can be solved that is not first acknowledged
Jesus Christ is the answer. God bless you , friend. I will pray for you
@@Tunagates22this rings true. However as Chuck pointed out the bad character can often be reserved or held in check until times of duress. I don't think the OP's posting neglects your point but perhaps recognizes it in the parting commitment.
I think this might be the best truck talk ive seen boss, thank you
@@jedneal2322 I agree 🙏🏽🇺🇸 Happy new year 🎆🎊🎈 ❤️🙏🏽
Want to know a persons real character? Give them power.
Trust ability over character? Always expect a double cross.
Well said 🙏🏽💪🏽🇺🇸
Youre just coping you aint as smart as Elon
Or take the power away
Any man with power like Elon, doesn't have to use a Potty Mouth the get his point across.
I served under more than a few CO's and XO's in the Navy who proved that statement true.
“Bad character is like rot” Amen 🙏
Okay, this was the best truck talk I've heard. There may be better ones, but this one elevated you to another level.
Humility is the most important IMO. When someone lacks humility they are not good leaders, or people in general.
Does humility imply understanding yourself as a seeker of truth and God instead of self-identifying as someone who has the truth, is "saved" or "chosen"?
Don’t mistake humility for lack of ability. Big mistake. Thanks Chadd
@@MOstix13
Or vice versa.
Agree... it's also the key to every victory for a Christian. "Humility" by Andrew Murray is a great read.
Bad character corrupts good company.
Congress has not been a company of good men since Act of 1871. So, your arguement is flawed.
Oh yeah, I'll bet you're a trump voter though huh? Better realize that all you did was pick the lesser of two evils. Trump don't care about you or any of his voters. He's been a Democrat his whole life and he always will be. Not that that's much worse than being a republican though
@@locustsandhoney486 I actually agree with you regarding congress . Not everyone.

@ Thank you ! You’re Awesome. I remember heating this & it stuck with me. Thank you sweet Jesus

Solid teaching, Chad, thanks again 👍
You are born with personality and you build Character. Your abilities stem from how well your character has been built.
This talk should be taught in school.
Agreed. It is truly fundamental.
Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly.
Blessed be the wicked who are healed by my hand 🔥

Same….this truck talk is right on time!

Excellent discussion Chad. We should strive for making God proud of us. Not easy, but we must do it.
Got that right sister!
Which God? Who's God?
Imagination isn't reality. Believing in a contradictory theory can only be maintained with delusional psychosis. An all powerful "creator" that is perfect in every way wouldn't create an imperfect planet that kills hundreds of thousands of his children every year.
Good word! Been digging these positive truck talks.
Every Dad needs to hear this! Thank you Chadd- Happy New Year.
Good talk going into 2025. God bless you all.
A person with good Character can learn to be more able!!!! An able person with bad character will never learn good character.
Thats not exactly what Jesus Christ taught, your basically saying no one can become born again Christian. Not everyone and not most but at least some people can change.
You are a very wise man, Chad. Thank you for what you do!

Same to you.
I love the way Bannon countered.
No truer words have been spoken.
Ability can be a taught and learned, Character is what makes a true leader. When people believe in the cause, they will exceed their limits. It takes a leader with true character to inspire people to greatness. Excellent question Chadd!
One of your best chats.
Wisdom.
Thank you. Something we can all take into the New Year with us.
i've seen this play out in my own life. without character you really have nothing.
That was a good review of character, Chadd. Thank you. I particularly enjoyed "meekness".
If you lose all your money, you lose nothing. If you lose your health, you lose something. If you lose your character, you lose everything.
Well said. Character will always shine as our abilities begin to tarnish. God Bless

self control is a tough one, especially when one is ready at every second to go to war against evil.

The two sith lords. Look at the stare Elon does, its like a "im finally gonna get even for beinf picked on as a kid".
Know them by their fruits. 👍💯👋👋👋👋👋👋👋💪💪🙏🙏
My friend - thank you - I needed to hear this today.
Chad,you are a man of God.
Thank you!

You must REALLY dislike Trump. He is the pure personification of the 7 Deadly Sins.

Needed to hear this today for many reasons. Good truck talk.
Thank You For Sharing This, Happy New Year 2025!
This is a great conversation and advice to strive for personal character.
Do the right thing… always
Excellent video, I believe character is by far the most important thing.
A much needed perspective. Character is more important, and that understanding seems to be dwindling quickly.
Our fruits will expose our character
Character derived/paired from wisdom.
As usual, great stuff Chad and right on point. Thank you for what you do and Happy New Year.
Keep preaching!!! Really good stuff right here!!!!!
I am a firm believer in your character being your motive and morals.
Chadd, I absolutely agree with you that character is more important than skill. Another great podcast brother! I love seeing your faith being reflected in your discussion of these topics. Keep up the good work brother

Thank you sir. Good stuff. Have a good new year.
Great video. I agree character is something that needs to be taught at a young age. 💯
Yes, but only proved over time and test.
@@troywarren1075 yes sir
The landscape in your window looks like a punting! Beautiful down there!
You are wise beyond your years and you sir have good character. Keep these coming.
The most needed and least emphasized lesson in formal education now.
So, it must be modeled and taught at home.
Thanks, Chadd
Character and commitment
I have fallen away from religion, but I love hearing how you speak about it. It is making me really think and consider my future✌🏻

Great truck talk! Struggling recently! Hit home! Thank you!
Good to know that you listen to Bannon.
Ability and skill can be learned. Good Character, Integrity, and honesty are observed traits to model your life on.
Real podcast right here with a real individual.
Chad, thank you for the great content you share, it’s appreciated! Keep doing good things! Happy New Year to you and yours!
Man that was real Chadd. Thankyou sir. And thank you for your service. I did mine on a submarine so Im not a warrior like you but we are all fighting the same battles of good and evil
Seems like we are filled with poor leadership. I am very concerned for our country. Thanks for the video sir
Amen, Integrity. Elon is a RED Flag...In my opinion
Ditto
Dude has so many flags I am confused how we even got here.
@@opaca512 Money makes people look the other way. Never trusted Elon.
bloodlines matter
Money he has a lot of money and trump only cares about money. So Elon dog walks him a few million at a time it breaks the illusion trump can't be bought. That's why yall are having a hard time comprehending your disdain for Elon
What a great way to start the new year! Thanks, ima get to work
Awesome teaching!! Great way to kick off the New Year listening to this!
I pray God’s hedge of protection around you and yours in 2025. 🙏
Good episode Mr. Chad. This came right on time.
Excellent points Chadd, thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year's brother
Outstanding talk Chad. 🙏🩸
character is more valuable. It is much harder to improve or change. if someone doesn’t have character, it’s much harder to give them a character.
Skills and abilities are things that can be learned and honed through practice and repetition. If someone doesn’t have a skill or ability, it’s very possible to train them.
Character is by far the most important trait.
Good conversation, good facts it's hard to keep my patiences when dealing with corrupt individuals,
I haven't even watched the video yet, but I know this is going to be a banger.
