I changed careers for a woman I wanted to marry, and now we aren't even dating anymore. It took a few years for God to find me a new career in healthcare and I still have 2 more years of school ahead of me. Despite my mistakes and straying from God's plan, He had mercy on me and found another way for me. I learned the hard way to put God first
“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33 ESV That’s our mission men. Seek him first and all these things you may be worried about money, job, relationships etc. God will work out.👊
At the start of 2024, I promised God that I wouldn't pursue dating for the whole year. I'm grateful that I was able to fulfill this promise with His help. In years past, I was super depressed with being single, but to my surprise I developed so much contentment staying single. Honestly I’m carrying that momentum into 2025 to not search so I can go all in on Him.
Here are some other things I think causes men to compromise: 1. Fear 2. Temptation 3. Unresolved issues 4. Immense emotional turmoil 5. Loss of enthusiasm or motivation What do you think?
One thing that almost made me compromise on my mission is getting a job that pays really well and a comfortable life. I am still trying to figure out what my God given purpose is. Mostly because I have been struggling with sin for several years, and I have turned my back on God, but I am now serious and want to become a faithful follower of Christ. However, my family has tried to get me to stay in school for my Master's or law school or completely change my dream, which worked, and I have been suffering for the last three years because of it. But I know that my mission is to serve this country in any capacity. Military or law enforcement. Even though that may mean I won't be making over 150K a year and living a nice, easy life. I am constantly pressured to take the route that earns the most money, but it is more important to me to serve and protect people, even if that may mean I will suffer or die if doing so. Basically, people's need to make a lot of money is one compromise that almost led me away from my mission.
Can you talk about how to handle a break up? I’m a Christian guy and unfortunately I didn’t leave her better than when I met her. There’s a lot of hurt
I also compromised, and it cost me a lot to recover. I won’t go into detail because I need to take full accountability -- no one forced me to make those decisions. I took advice that seemed wise at the time, but after deep reflection, I realized something: nowhere in the Bible (to my knowledge) does it instruct or commend us to take advice -- only to listen to it. Please correct me if I’m wrong; this isn’t an arrogant dismissal but a genuine desire to learn. I’ve come to believe that it takes wisdom, discernment, and a strong relationship with God to decide which advice to follow. However, listening is clearly a biblical command, and not doing so would be sinful.
What if you just got into a relationship where you and your girl are submitting to the Lord first and making sure marriage is the image for both of us while making sure we follow God in the center of our relationship
So which is it? Full commitment to a woman and be her provider/leader or find some personal “mission” to pursue? Sounds selfish to me. Isn’t the only mission to seek the Kingdom? Guys talk about having a “mission” and it’s literally just becoming an accountant or some other desk job. Here’s the criteria: if a woman makes you stray from the ONLY mission that matters, she is not the one.
Hey Isaac please advise on what to do ,if a girl you are interested in earns way more than you and how to properly pursue a Christian girl, like the type of things you can talk about etc on dates
I have a question. Have any of you Pray And ask God too financially bless you ( I have to say I don't believe in the prosperity Gospel that is taught by false teachers like Joel oystein. And many others like him.) I'm current Broke And living with My parents which I hate. I don't hate them but I hate living with them I've been Unemployed for a long time I hate I also have autism, which makes it not easy. I'm trying my best to find the right job or a job i can work i hate not working My Final goal is to leave this country( America). There's really. No future here, and i want to leave this part of my life behind me ( i hate feeling like a burden or just not working because I don't want to be lazy And I know what the bible says on people who don't work 😅 and i really want to be a good future partner/ husband when i meet my future wife )

i honestly feel this, i been tryna do similar, been more content without a gf
You say that like not dating isn't already super easy. 😎
@@Collingaryy May God grant you the peace you need! 🙌🏽
Set the Kingdom of God first
The timing is crazy. Basically this video answered a prayer.
Comfort, I think that is likely one of the biggest things that people compromise their mission for.
Here are some other things I think causes men to compromise:
1. Fear
2. Temptation
3. Unresolved issues
4. Immense emotional turmoil
5. Loss of enthusiasm or motivation
What do you think?
Best way to deal with unresolved issues?
@@Julianrocker200 In my opinion either confront them head on or get some social help.
@@Julianrocker200 Resolve them? 😎
@@ModelJames13 🤣that's funny. But like theory?

Asking for a financial breakthrough is totally fine bud, just don't turn money into an idol
What if your mission is to get a good wife? 😎
