In a culture that either demonizes men or excuses them, we need men to know that God has a mission for them to pursue. To lead and love well.
Join me as I work through the challenges, and joys of what it means to be a man. This is a place for men to be strengthened on their mission to lead and love.
Thank you for sharing this brother! As a young guy who grew up without a Christ centered male role model in the home, I’ve found myself greatly struggling with confidence and insecurity. Appearance, all that stuff. It especially arises when in relationships and I know that’s not of Christ. I appreciate the content you share! I pray to recognize how to remain cosistent in my confidence in Christ, and to be the man he’s called me to be for my family and my future family.
Same bro, not having those deep rooted lessons in being a man in Christ is difficult. But the fact that you acknowledge it and seek to fix it means you'll be just fine. God is going to bless you soon bro, he sees you're on the right path and it won't go unrewarded. I'll pray for you bro
@@Redeemed2Righteousness Thank you brother Reece!! God bless you 🙏🏽
Needed to hear this. Started a Christian instagram page and now TH-cam but did not grow as fast as expected. "You need to be humbled first" hits different. God bless you Isaac.
Isaac's gonna need to pay Hillsong royalties for the amount of times he conjured "Who You Say I Am" in my head
God bless you my brother. Thankyou for helping me and guiding me through a lot, when I didnt have a person I could trust as a christian. You dont understand how powerfully God is using you to bless so many people watching. Love you brother.
Thank you Isaac. As someone who is currently in the valley, I needed to hear this.
This hit me HARD.. I really needed to hear this. Thank for this video Issac!
I needed this.
Top video man🤞🏽needed this
Thank you so much. I know I’m gonna be coming back to this one again and again
You’re an inspiration brother !
First things first, confidence shouldn't be compared/ based on how confident others are (e.g. you vs. your spouse's level). If you are good in your own skin, it shouldn't be determined relative to other people
This is so good bro
This is really good! I love how you explain your thoughts and beliefs! very helpful!
Hi! I absolutely love your videos.❤
This.was.so.helpful.
Hi Isaac, wow, this really spoke to me. I thank God for how he is speaking through you and how he is with you. May his grace and mercy be sufficient enough. Such a good message. Amen. God bless you and love you brother 🙏 ✝️
I’ve really found this channel to be helpful in my life in 2023, and I’m looking forward to seeing what 2024 brings!
Bro God has you here for a reason. May God bless you brother. I needed that.
Thanks man, words of wisdom, God bless 🙏🏽
Yes! My identity is in Christ, appreciate it 🙏🏿
Thanks for sharing! You should do a podcast :) I would 100% hear it! Podcasts are popular now and days, and discussions like these are good to hear.
Oh my goodness thank you so much for this video, brother! This really spoke to me, and put to words things that I really struggle with. As I was watching, I literally started the video over from the beginning and took notes through the whole thing. Thank you for sharing this, it really means a lot!
Love it! It seems like men nowadays talk so much about how men need to be more confident to achieve x, y, z but never seem to provide the way to do it.
God bless.
Isaac I have been watching your videos for over a year now. I was in a really low scary place and listening to you talk and the things you say seem to always hit me to my core. I just watched your other video about the Hustle Culture and I feel like that is where I'm at currently and I need to work on intentionally applying your steps. Thank you for making content like this for us who are struggling or questioning things.
1) Eliminate instant gratification: waiting plus work equal satisfaction and confidence.
2) Attempt difficulty. You must be humbled first before getting true confidence. Facing rejection and failure.
3) Know your Identity. Micro and Macro. You already have security in your macro identity.
Such wisdom the Lord has blessed you with. Your videos really speak to younger men like myself.
Hey Isaac big fan! I was wondering if maybe you could make a video on feeling like you need to be perfect all the time. I struggle with feeling that way in my day to day. But Instead of feeling fulfilled, I typically just end up feeling sad like I’ll never be good enough and that I may as well quit. I know God doesn’t give up on me and that we’re saved by Jesus not our works but it’s still a big struggle I have.
I am a shy guy, so I get hit on a lot instead of me hitting on them. I attract, but my reaction is pushing away. I reject them, I try to explain this while being humble as I can, everything that looks good is not good for you. If we ate anything that came our way, we would probably be dead. I am not saying I am a model citizen, rich man, where I need to be, a model, just saying the truth. I see a lot of worldly women, it is like the devil is trying to pull me into sex with random women, it is hard to resist but I been doing it most my life.
I thank God he gave me a devil for a ex-fiance to make me look back and think twice before engaging with someone sexually before marriage. I know God made me this way for a reason. Good video. God has protected me the whole way and he will you too. This is not a attack on people who fell into lust, we are all renewed under Christ. We have different paths. just expressing myself as I have nowhere to release into an outlet. You have a lot of wisdom for a young man.
Proverbs 31 woman is what i want marriage.
Word of advice to all who read: Do not live to seek success. Live to please God. Do not live for yourself. Live for others.
People who seek fulfillment will not find it in the world. Worldly success is fleeting and ultimately not fulfilling.
True spiritual fulfillment will come from being a servant of God and secondarily being a servant of people. Do not let worldly things like money, stuff, followers, subscribers, and the "approval" of people be your marker for success. Let you marker for success be determined by following the will of God. He calls us to love others, to serve others, and to show forth His grace to the world.
Our walk with God is our ultimate marker of success. Anything else is secondary.
We should vie to live simple and quiet lives.
1 THESSALONIANS 4:11-12" Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. 12Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.
I mean, that sounds great man, but how on earth can you gauge how successful your walk is? I've been asking for help for seven years straight, not even a word in response. Nothing. How am I supposed to be able to know how successful my walk with God is, when He wont even respond to me??
Personally - it feels pointless now. I've lost all of my friends, I have no connection with people 20-40 years older than me (most of the USA population), and I am stuck in a dead-end job.
@@corvuscorax8459 I can empathize man. I have cried out to the Lord to speak to me before also. I have questioned "Why Lord!" so many times. I switched those cries and questions to prayer: "speak to me through your word Lord". The Lord speaks to us through His word. It is living. It provides us life.
On successfulness: we will never measure up. Our success is through the Lord. His Grace is our success. Which He gives to us freely. All who believe in the Lord - that He died on the cross for our sins - has received that grace. They have received that spiritual success. Through our own works we cannot be saved. The grace of the Lord is freely given.
When you believe in the Lord, that spiritual walk cannot be measured. It just is. And praise the Lord for that! When you believe in Him, He has given you that grace freely.
This is me: My ability to see the Lord clearly in my life was broken and ruined when I lived in sin. I lived with a porn addiction for many years. I was not able to see the Lord clearly and His work in my life because I was constantly saying "NO" to Him when I lived in sin.
I no longer live with that. I am now able to see the Lord at work in my life more clearly. I have a better understanding of His living word and I live with a more abundant hope.
I do hope what I say does not come across as a platitude. Once we put our faith and trust in the Lord - that He died to save us from torment - we are called to go forth and sin no more. In my past I was not doing that and my walk with the Lord suffered because of it.
I am by no means perfect - I am a sinner - and I will never be perfect, but when I put forth my love for the Lord, and I made that a priority in my life, to "Go forth and sin no more", that is when I started to see the Lord working in my life more clearly.
I will pray the Lord guides and directs you, that He will make your paths straight, and your future clear.
If you want to continue talking, please do respond. This type of dialogue helps me grow in my faith, and I hope it does the same for you.
Comment for the algorithm
12:27 this kis the issue with the world tofay. People worship teir ender and skin colour and God is put asside hennce they have so much pain and hurt and go about forcing people to affirm them. An equation for destruction. Very good vid brother
About the point at the end, are you saying that we should be a jack of all trades? In terms of our micro identity shouldn't we choose one thing to be actually great at so that we can build our confidence off of that one thing?
Work out that releases a lot of energy.

Instead of using adhd as an adjective you can just say children are more impulsive.
