They reflect on how a simple challenge to share writing evolved into a transformative book about masculine identity, initiation, and spiritual growth. John shares his personal evolution as a father raising two boys and the realization that true initiation requires moving past self-obsession to embrace a larger story. The conversation dives deep into the four male archetypes—the warrior, the lover, the wise man, and the king—and how they find their perfect, true expression in the life of Jesus Christ. John and Greg contrast the modern trap of behavior management with the concept of right ordering under God's eternal order. John opens up about a critical failure in his business career that became a beautiful "dying moment," allowing him to surrender his false identity and begin walking in his true identity. Finally, they explore the necessity of mentorship, healing personal wounds (such as the father wound), and maintaining conversational intimacy with God to stay on the journey of transformation. John outlines his upcoming plans to support men through intensive journey groups, resources for small groups, and efforts to translate these deep concepts for younger audiences. ### Key takeaways - True masculine initiation requires transitioning from boy psychology to man psychology by overcoming self-obsession and ego. - The four male archetypes—warrior, lover, wise man, and king—must be integrated and brought under the leadership of the benevolent king, modeled by Jesus. - Behavior management often leads to a cycle of shame, whereas aligning with God's eternal order brings true transformation and flourishing. - Failure can be a gracious invitation from God to let go of a false identity and surrender control. - Healing personal wounds, particularly the father wound, is essential for experiencing the fullness of God's love and truth. - Staying on the spiritual journey requires shifting our life paradigm from self-achievement to becoming who God created us to be. ###

--> 00:19:00.890 So<00:18:56.894> I<00:18:56.959> think<00:18:57.136> we<00:18:57.281> have<00:18:57.523> to<00:18:57.861> buy<00:18:58.103> into<00:18:58.505> this<00:18:58.747> belief<00:18:59.392> that<00:18:59.553> there<00:18:59.859> is<00:19:00.036> an<00:19:00.116> eternal<00:19:00.600> order. 00:19:01.228 --> 00:19:01.325 Yeah. 00:19:01.566 --> 00:19:11.971 Even<00:19:01.727> if<00:19:01.808> we<00:19:01.889> can't<00:19:02.050> wrap<00:19:02.307> our<00:19:02.436> heads<00:19:02.630> around<00:19:02.936> it,<00:19:03.983> or<00:19:04.047> maybe<00:19:04.788> better<00:19:04.933> way<00:19:05.030> to<00:19:05.095> say<00:19:05.240> that<00:19:05.417> is<00:19:07.269> even<00:19:07.591> though<00:19:07.848> we<00:19:07.993> will<00:19:08.170>

it's<00:19:11.617> there. 00:19:12.342 --> 00:19:17.917 And<00:19:12.519> when<00:19:12.680> we<00:19:12.841> are<00:19:12.921> in<00:19:13.082> line<00:19:13.388> with<00:19:13.469> that<00:19:13.710> eternal<00:19:14.129> order,<00:19:15.680> we<00:19:15.792> flourish<00:19:16.581> and<00:19:16.661> the<00:19:16.742> people<00:19:17.000> around<00:19:17.321> us<00:19:17.482> flourish. 00:19:19.237 --> 00:19:24.550 And<00:19:20.058> we<00:19:20.219> can<00:19:20.380> get<00:19:20.525> a<00:19:20.605> glimpse<00:19:20.943> of<00:19:21.088> that<00:19:21.362> through<00:19:21.909> what<00:19:22.290> what<00:19:22.403> God's<00:19:22.661> told<00:19:22.951> us<00:19:23.129> about<00:19:23.436> himself<00:19:23.936> and<00:19:24.001> how<00:19:24.114> to<00:19:24.323> live. 00:19:25.211 --> 00:19:32.868 And<00:19:25.873> most<00:19:26.261> of<00:19:26.584> our<00:19:26.680> understanding<00:19:27.181> of<00:19:27.262> natural<00:19:27.730> law<00:19:28.133> is<00:19:28.279> directly<00:19:28.924> tied<00:19:29.425> to<00:19:29.522> biblical<00:19:30.781> teaching,<00:19:31.265> which<00:19:31.362> is<00:19:32.237> fascinating. 00:19:33.063 --> 00:19:36.480 Like,<00:19:34.115> not<00:19:34.277> surprising,<00:19:34.828> but<00:19:34.925> also<00:19:35.168> just<00:19:35.638> really<00:19:35.897> fascinating. 00:19:36.691 --> 00:19:46.959 And<00:19:36.804> so<00:19:38.715> I<00:19:38.731> think<00:19:39.136> for<00:19:39.298> me<00:19:39.541> personally,<00:19:41.687> when<00:19:41.849> we<00:19:42.011> can<00:19:42.190> look<00:19:42.352> above<00:19:43.147> behavior<00:19:44.055> and<00:19:44.153> we<00:19:44.282> can<00:19:44.380> start<00:19:44.704> to<00:19:44.850> look<00:19:45.093> at<00:19:45.272> like,<00:19:45.596> what<00:19:45.759> is<00:19:45.986> the<00:19:46.164> way<00:19:46.489> of<00:19:46.586> life? 00:19:47.284 --> 00:19:51.868 And<00:19:47.916> I've<00:19:48.028> used<00:19:48.173> that<00:19:48.334> phrase<00:19:48.719> a<00:19:48.735> lot<00:19:48.976> now<00:19:49.217> because<00:19:49.779> I<00:19:49.860> think<00:19:50.486> Jesus<00:19:50.823> was<00:19:50.920> showing<00:19:51.305> us<00:19:51.466> the<00:19:51.611> way. 00:19:52.333 --> 00:19:53.072 Well,<00:19:52.430> what<00:19:52.607> is<00:19:52.815> the<00:19:52.896> way? 00:19:53.153 --> 00:19:56.237 It's<00:19:53.378> obviously<00:19:53.715> not<00:19:54.101> rules<00:19:54.502> for<00:19:55.643> right<00:19:55.964> living. 00:19:56.912 --> 00:20:10.132 It's<00:19:57.153> a<00:19:57.394> way<00:19:57.715> of<00:19:57.876> living<00:19:58.149> in<00:19:58.277> relationship<00:19:58.920> with<00:19:59.080> God<00:19:59.498> that<00:19:59.723> changes<00:20:00.767> who<00:20:01.008> we<00:20:01.249> are<00:20:02.373> and<00:20:02.871> makes<00:20:03.177> us<00:20:03.337> more<00:20:03.498> like<00:20:03.739> Jesus<00:20:04.960> and<00:20:05.201> brings<00:20:05.667> the<00:20:05.763> restoration,<00:20:06.566> God's<00:20:06.871> restoration<00:20:08.253> to<00:20:09.136> the<00:20:09.281> places<00:20:09.683> that<00:20:09.779> we're<00:20:10.020> in. 00:20:10.919 --> 00:20:18.245 So<00:20:12.670> I<00:20:12.751> think<00:20:12.976> it<00:20:13.056> helps,<00:20:13.458> like,<00:20:13.956> I<00:20:13.972> think<00:20:14.116> we<00:20:14.261> get<00:20:14.357> stuck<00:20:14.614> in<00:20:14.743> the<00:20:14.839> like,<00:20:15.867> right<00:20:16.060> or<00:20:16.188> wrong,<00:20:16.863> sin<00:20:17.393> versus<00:20:17.666> not<00:20:17.907> sin. 00:20:18.919 --> 00:20:23.192 And<00:20:19.016> I<00:20:19.096> think<00:20:19.658> shifting<00:20:20.060> our<00:20:20.220> gaze<00:20:20.686> up<00:20:20.927> to<00:20:21.104> eternal<00:20:21.666> order,<00:20:21.907> like,<00:20:22.068> what<00:20:22.293> is<00:20:22.534> God's<00:20:23.016> order? 00:20:23.273 --> 00:20:27.690 What<00:20:23.433> is—<00:20:24.156> what<00:20:24.301> is<00:20:24.397> he—<00:20:24.879> how<00:20:25.040> has<00:20:25.200> he<00:20:25.361> designed<00:20:25.827> things<00:20:26.020> to<00:20:26.228> work,<00:20:26.566> and<00:20:26.646> how<00:20:26.807> do<00:20:26.951> I<00:20:27.048> align<00:20:27.353> with<00:20:27.514> that? 00:20:28.493 --> 00:20:30.100 And<00:20:28.638> that<00:20:28.831> happens<00:20:29.216> through<00:20:29.297> relationship. 00:20:30.341 --> 00:20:45.086 And<00:20:30.501> what<00:20:30.662> happens<00:20:31.144> first—<00:20:31.642> and<00:20:31.738> this<00:20:31.883> is<00:20:32.011> like<00:20:32.172> one<00:20:32.285> of<00:20:32.365> the,<00:20:33.297> I<00:20:33.313> think,<00:20:33.473> coolest<00:20:33.955> things<00:20:34.276> that<00:20:34.421> I've<00:20:34.823> learned<00:20:35.064> along<00:20:35.305> this<00:20:35.481> journey—<00:20:36.027> is<00:20:37.248> we<00:20:37.489> always<00:20:37.955> want<00:20:38.132> to<00:20:38.292> take<00:20:38.630> things,<00:20:39.417> and<00:20:39.561> I<00:20:39.658> can<00:20:39.754> say<00:20:39.915> specifically<00:20:40.525> for<00:20:40.638> myself,<00:20:41.088>

most<00:20:51.235> of<00:20:51.379> what<00:20:51.540> we<00:20:51.701> see<00:20:53.001> about<00:20:53.466> God's<00:20:53.852> order<00:20:54.189> is<00:20:54.269> something<00:20:54.895>

be<00:38:32.915> harsh<00:38:33.252> language,<00:38:33.959> and<00:38:34.376> I've<00:38:34.440> had<00:38:34.600> some<00:38:34.761> people<00:38:34.954> that<00:38:35.050> have<00:38:35.098> read<00:38:35.258> the<00:38:35.339> book<00:38:35.579> and<00:38:35.660> said,<00:38:36.462> they<00:38:36.607> weren't<00:38:36.784> really<00:38:36.945> sure<00:38:37.186> what<00:38:37.427> dying<00:38:37.829> meant. 00:38:38.537 --> 00:38:39.936 And<00:38:39.373> I<00:38:39.437> totally<00:38:39.679> get<00:38:39.904> it. 00:38:40.065 --> 00:38:40.402 It's<00:38:40.161> hard. 00:38:41.142 --> 00:38:44.165 So<00:38:41.673> that's<00:38:41.850> where<00:38:42.557> I<00:38:42.573> think<00:38:42.670> it's<00:38:42.879> easier<00:38:43.136> to<00:38:43.200> talk<00:38:43.361>

it's<00:38:51.769> a<00:38:51.789> simpler<00:38:52.177> way<00:38:52.322> of<00:38:52.403> saying<00:38:52.581> that<00:38:52.646> is<00:38:52.824> like<00:38:53.373> who<00:38:53.535>

that<00:38:58.151> make? 00:38:58.376 --> 00:38:58.877 Who<00:38:58.699> am<00:38:58.860> I? 00:39:00.766 --> 00:39:05.225 But<00:39:00.864> it's<00:39:01.094> also—<00:39:01.455> it's<00:39:01.669> that,<00:39:02.014> but<00:39:02.112> it's<00:39:02.326> also<00:39:03.216> our<00:39:03.537> overinflated<00:39:04.438> sense<00:39:04.759> of<00:39:04.839> self. 00:39:05.627 --> 00:39:11.735

about<00:43:03.268> all<00:43:03.365> that<00:43:03.525> yet. 00:43:03.845 --> 00:43:32.367 I<00:43:03.925> just<00:43:04.166> think<00:43:05.271> what<00:43:05.383> a<00:43:05.511> powerful<00:43:05.976> mystery<00:43:06.489> that<00:43:06.729> we<00:43:06.889> are<00:43:06.969> invited<00:43:07.370> to<00:43:07.450> be<00:43:07.610> part<00:43:07.851> of<00:43:07.915> the<00:43:07.947> solution,<00:43:09.757> that<00:43:10.014> the<00:43:11.279> roots<00:43:11.680> of<00:43:12.080> all<00:43:12.257> the<00:43:12.401> world's<00:43:12.737> evil<00:43:12.914> and<00:43:12.994> injustice<00:43:14.163> live<00:43:14.340> in<00:43:14.484> us,<00:43:14.964> and<00:43:15.061> when<00:43:15.301> we<00:43:15.926> overcome<00:43:16.342> ourselves,<00:43:16.967> when<00:43:17.448> we<00:43:17.544> invite<00:43:17.864> the<00:43:17.912> Holy<00:43:18.105> Spirit<00:43:18.409> to<00:43:18.505> come<00:43:18.730> in<00:43:19.146> and<00:43:19.210> transform<00:43:19.787> us,<00:43:20.508> and<00:43:20.572> we<00:43:20.668> become<00:43:20.989> a<00:43:21.229> little<00:43:21.421> bit<00:43:21.501> more<00:43:21.710> like<00:43:21.950> Jesus<00:43:22.511> and<00:43:22.591> continue<00:43:23.056> on<00:43:23.152> that<00:43:23.392> journey<00:43:24.273> becoming<00:43:24.610> a<00:43:24.658> benevolent<00:43:25.074> king,<00:43:25.699> we<00:43:25.795> start<00:43:26.196> to<00:43:26.500> build<00:43:26.901> good<00:43:27.157> things<00:43:27.558> in<00:43:27.638> the<00:43:27.782> world<00:43:28.215> around<00:43:28.583> us,<00:43:29.000> and<00:43:29.080> those<00:43:29.400> good<00:43:29.641> things<00:43:31.083> begin<00:43:31.565> to<00:43:31.709> heal<00:43:32.030> the<00:43:32.110> body. 00:43:32.752 --> 00:43:32.848 Yeah. 00:43:33.169 --> 00:43:39.955 And<00:43:33.265> so<00:43:33.490> I<00:43:33.570> think<00:43:33.891> this<00:43:34.115> healing<00:43:34.613> concept<00:43:35.335> is—<00:43:36.554> it's<00:43:36.682> not<00:43:36.875> just<00:43:37.099> personal,<00:43:37.661> it's<00:43:37.821> like—<00:43:38.784> but<00:43:38.928> it<00:43:39.008> starts<00:43:39.425> personally. 00:43:40.452 --> 00:43:44.270 And<00:43:41.126> so<00:43:41.912> I<00:43:42.072> believe<00:43:42.393> every<00:43:42.569> man<00:43:43.019> has<00:43:43.259> wounds<00:43:43.757> and<00:43:43.837> needs<00:43:43.997> to<00:43:44.142> heal. 00:43:44.783 --> 00:43:48.617 And<00:43:46.147> I've<00:43:46.387> yet<00:43:46.644> to<00:43:46.789> talk<00:43:47.061> to<00:43:47.190> a<00:43:47.206> guy<00:43:47.430> that<00:43:47.526> doesn't<00:43:47.751> have<00:43:47.847> a<00:43:47.927> father<00:43:48.312> wound. 00:43:49.612 --> 00:43:56.317 And<00:43:49.676> there's<00:43:50.013> so<00:43:50.510> much—<00:43:50.895> I<00:43:50.959> mean,<00:43:51.280> there's<00:43:51.393> so<00:43:51.553> many<00:43:51.778> books<00:43:52.339> and<00:43:52.435> so<00:43:52.676> many<00:43:52.997> stories<00:43:53.863> that<00:43:53.959> explore<00:43:54.569> the<00:43:54.649> relationship<00:43:55.211> between<00:43:55.531> father<00:43:55.868> and<00:43:55.964> son. 00:43:56.366 --> 00:44:11.121 And<00:43:56.494> it's<00:43:56.654> like<00:43:57.874> something<00:43:58.260> I've<00:43:58.420> come<00:43:58.677> to<00:43:58.918> in<00:43:58.998> this<00:43:59.159> process<00:43:59.721> is<00:44:00.106> I<00:44:00.203> think<00:44:00.748> that<00:44:00.845> the<00:44:00.925> reason<00:44:01.230> every<00:44:01.375> man<00:44:01.632> has<00:44:01.808> a<00:44:01.872> father<00:44:02.129> wound<00:44:02.386> is<00:44:02.531> because<00:44:02.996> the<00:44:03.157> difference<00:44:03.655> between—<00:44:04.538> call<00:44:04.715> it<00:44:04.859> the<00:44:05.020> gap<00:44:05.566> between<00:44:06.304> his<00:44:06.545> earthly<00:44:06.866> father<00:44:07.348> and<00:44:07.412> his<00:44:07.573> heavenly<00:44:07.910> Father<00:44:09.516> creates<00:44:09.997> a<00:44:10.142> wound<00:44:10.383> that<00:44:10.463> has<00:44:10.624> to<00:44:10.704> be<00:44:10.800> healed. 00:44:12.149 --> 00:44:21.848 It—<00:44:12.502> some<00:44:12.872> level<00:44:13.113> of<00:44:13.209> trust<00:44:13.691> is<00:44:13.915> broken<00:44:14.333> because<00:44:15.056> our<00:44:15.200> first<00:44:15.778> picture<00:44:16.260> of<00:44:16.661> God,<00:44:17.239> our<00:44:17.368> heavenly<00:44:17.705> Father,<00:44:18.171> is<00:44:18.267> this<00:44:18.508> earthly<00:44:18.909> dad<00:44:19.230> that<00:44:19.375> we<00:44:19.455> have,<00:44:19.937> and<00:44:20.033> he's<00:44:20.274> an<00:44:20.900> imperfect<00:44:21.462> human. 00:44:22.426 --> 00:44:24.465 Regardless<00:44:22.843> of<00:44:22.908> how<00:44:23.068> good<00:44:23.261> or<00:44:23.325> bad<00:44:23.566> he<00:44:23.662> is,<00:44:23.791> he's<00:44:23.951> imperfect. 00:44:24.513 --> 00:44:37.172 And<00:44:24.610> so<00:44:25.641> For<00:44:25.884> us,<00:44:26.223> we<00:44:26.369> have<00:44:26.628> to<00:44:28.165> heal<00:44:28.553> from<00:44:28.796> that,<00:44:29.297> but<00:44:29.443> then<00:44:30.106> pile<00:44:30.511> on<00:44:30.899> all<00:44:31.158> the<00:44:31.320> other<00:44:31.465> things<00:44:32.112> that<00:44:32.210> happen<00:44:32.614> that<00:44:32.760> people<00:44:33.002> say<00:44:33.180> to<00:44:33.407> us,<00:44:33.666> that<00:44:33.811> we<00:44:33.908> say<00:44:34.070> to<00:44:34.200> ourselves,<00:44:35.678> and<00:44:35.822> we<00:44:35.855> start,<00:44:36.240> we<00:44:36.401> craft<00:44:36.722> these<00:44:36.883> narratives. 00:44:37.236 --> 00:44:46.897 So<00:44:38.072> I<00:44:38.490> think<00:44:38.650> a<00:44:38.731> lot<00:44:38.908> of<00:44:38.956> people<00:44:39.197> aren't<00:44:39.518> aware<00:44:40.241> of<00:44:41.864> their<00:44:42.009> wounding,<00:44:43.053> and<00:44:43.310> they<00:44:43.455> aren't<00:44:43.632> aware<00:44:44.101> of<00:44:44.278> the<00:44:44.359> stories<00:44:44.909> that<00:44:45.006> they<00:44:45.168> believe<00:44:45.491> about<00:44:45.749> themselves<00:44:46.218> as<00:44:46.315> a<00:44:46.364> result<00:44:46.719> of<00:44:46.784> that. 00:44:47.188 --> 00:44:55.037 So<00:44:49.678> I<00:44:49.775> think<00:44:50.001> every<00:44:50.195> man<00:44:50.486> has<00:44:50.664> to<00:44:50.809> pursue<00:44:51.714> healing,<00:44:52.119> and<00:44:52.199> that<00:44:52.587> really<00:44:52.927> is<00:44:53.089> going<00:44:53.315> to<00:44:53.380> happen<00:44:53.661> by<00:44:53.827> inviting<00:44:54.390> God<00:44:54.506> to<00:44:54.539> come<00:44:54.589> in<00:44:54.622> and<00:44:54.672> expose<00:44:54.887> those<00:44:54.954> areas. 00:44:57.056 --> 00:44:59.124 Expose<00:44:57.392> the<00:44:57.537> lies<00:44:58.258> and<00:44:58.338> speak<00:44:58.675> the<00:44:58.755> truth. 00:44:59.381 --> 00:45:06.869 And<00:45:00.102> that<00:45:00.359> can't<00:45:00.664> happen<00:45:01.145> without<00:45:02.283> relationship<00:45:02.909> with<00:45:03.021> God,<00:45:03.390> without<00:45:04.272> a<00:45:05.009> conversational<00:45:05.891> intimacy<00:45:06.452> with<00:45:06.613> God. 00:45:07.238 --> 00:45:07.302 Right. 00:45:07.399 --> 00:45:19.249 And<00:45:08.441> so<00:45:09.018> if<00:45:09.082> someone<00:45:09.980> feels<00:45:10.221> like<00:45:10.461> they<00:45:10.542> don't<00:45:10.782> have<00:45:11.087> that,<00:45:11.343> it's<00:45:11.488> like,<00:45:11.648> well,<00:45:11.969> we're<00:45:12.065> going<00:45:12.161> to<00:45:12.225> have<00:45:12.386> to<00:45:12.466> start<00:45:12.803> there<00:45:13.107> because<00:45:14.390> we've<00:45:14.615> got<00:45:14.791> to<00:45:14.855> experience—<00:45:15.673> but<00:45:15.817> ultimately,<00:45:16.218> it's<00:45:16.459> we're<00:45:16.523>

00:46:22.230 --> 00:46:23.322 Huge<00:46:22.792> question. 00:46:23.498 --> 00:46:26.501 Yeah,<00:46:23.852> we're<00:46:24.703> going<00:46:24.879> to<00:46:24.960> solve<00:46:25.217> it<00:46:25.281> in<00:46:25.361> the<00:46:25.457> next<00:46:25.763> 5<00:46:25.987> minutes,<00:46:26.228> right? 00:46:27.352 --> 00:46:55.197 Yeah,<00:46:28.492> I<00:46:28.894> think<00:46:29.279> the<00:46:30.323> first<00:46:30.821> and<00:46:30.965> foremost,<00:46:31.543> we<00:46:31.640> need<00:46:31.864> a<00:46:31.880> new<00:46:32.105> paradigm<00:46:32.747> for<00:46:32.892> our<00:46:32.988> lives,<00:46:33.695> the<00:46:33.791> purpose<00:46:34.257> of<00:46:34.337> our<00:46:34.498> lives,<00:46:35.301> and<00:46:36.665> whether<00:46:36.987> we're<00:46:37.163> aware<00:46:37.549> of<00:46:37.645> it<00:46:37.741> or<00:46:37.806> not,<00:46:38.351> we<00:46:38.512> have<00:46:38.785> a<00:46:38.913> paradigm<00:46:39.492> and<00:46:39.572> that<00:46:39.732> paradigm<00:46:40.310> is<00:46:40.696> shaped<00:46:42.045> by<00:46:42.607> the<00:46:42.703> world<00:46:42.960> that<00:46:43.088> we<00:46:43.169> live<00:46:43.410> in<00:46:44.373> and<00:46:44.790> every<00:46:45.128> single<00:46:45.690> system<00:46:46.396> and<00:46:46.557> organization<00:46:47.504> and<00:46:48.805> piece<00:46:49.046> of<00:46:49.126> content<00:46:49.768> we<00:46:49.913> engage<00:46:50.314> with<00:46:50.652> is<00:46:51.519> usually<00:46:52.177> validating<00:46:52.900> that<00:46:53.703> narrative,<00:46:54.185> that<00:46:54.410> broken<00:46:54.747> narrative. 00:46:55.935 --> 00:47:05.298 And<00:46:56.048> so<00:46:57.381> I<00:46:57.397> think<00:46:57.541> it<00:46:57.638> takes<00:46:57.878> serious<00:46:58.280> work<00:46:58.681> to—<00:46:59.083> and<00:46:59.147> this<00:46:59.324> idea<00:46:59.500> of<00:46:59.629> renewing<00:46:59.902> our<00:46:59.982> minds,<00:47:00.448> and<00:47:00.753> Jesus<00:47:00.962> talks<00:47:01.203> about<00:47:01.347> renewing<00:47:01.636> the<00:47:01.668> mind,<00:47:01.957> so<00:47:02.375> that's,<00:47:03.419> I<00:47:03.499> think,<00:47:04.222> part<00:47:04.382> of<00:47:04.447> the<00:47:04.543> healing<00:47:04.864> process. 00:47:06.069 --> 00:47:09.248 It's<00:47:06.213> also<00:47:06.550> part<00:47:06.775> of<00:47:06.856> our<00:47:07.016> just<00:47:07.337> learning<00:47:07.659> how<00:47:07.835> to<00:47:07.916> see<00:47:08.237> our<00:47:08.381> lives<00:47:08.879> clearly. 00:47:09.618 --> 00:47:23.139 So<00:47:11.368> I<00:47:11.433> say<00:47:11.689> that<00:47:11.914> because<00:47:12.573> if<00:47:12.733> our<00:47:12.894> paradigm<00:47:13.440> for<00:47:13.601> life<00:47:14.163> is<00:47:15.527> the<00:47:15.608> transformation<00:47:16.480> work<00:47:16.739> that<00:47:16.901> God's<00:47:17.192> going<00:47:17.256> to<00:47:17.385> do<00:47:17.612> in<00:47:17.709> me<00:47:18.016> is<00:47:18.598> something<00:47:18.986> that<00:47:19.083> happens<00:47:20.117> on<00:47:20.198> the<00:47:20.230> side,<00:47:21.976> then<00:47:22.396> it's<00:47:22.574> not<00:47:22.703> going<00:47:22.784> to<00:47:22.930> happen. 00:47:23.284 --> 00:47:23.461 Yeah. 00:47:23.751 --> 00:47:30.980 Um,<00:47:25.361> which<00:47:27.132> can<00:47:28.597> maybe<00:47:28.838> sound<00:47:29.160> like<00:47:30.030> overwhelming<00:47:30.609> and<00:47:30.754> heavy. 00:47:31.640 --> 00:47:37.198 Like,<00:47:31.913> and<00:47:32.622> I<00:47:32.703> think<00:47:33.204> something<00:47:33.414> I'll<00:47:33.576> throw<00:47:33.738> in<00:47:33.818> there<00:47:33.980> is<00:47:34.077> like,<00:47:34.886> we<00:47:34.983> talk<00:47:35.209> about<00:47:35.371> dying<00:47:35.694> and<00:47:35.856> all<00:47:36.001> this<00:47:36.179> can<00:47:36.325> sound<00:47:36.519> super<00:47:36.810> depressing. 00:47:37.554 --> 00:47:47.947 I<00:47:37.618> think<00:47:38.022> the<00:47:38.103> fundamental<00:47:38.605> thing<00:47:38.831> we<00:47:38.912> have<00:47:39.025> to<00:47:39.090> accept,<00:47:39.656> and<00:47:39.720> the<00:47:39.801> first<00:47:40.124> part<00:47:40.319> of<00:47:40.367> this<00:47:40.545> paradigm<00:47:41.014> that<00:47:41.095> we<00:47:41.127> have<00:47:41.256> to<00:47:41.337> accept,<00:47:41.677> is<00:47:41.822> there<00:47:41.935> is<00:47:42.130> no<00:47:42.562> other<00:47:42.827> life<00:47:43.558> outside<00:47:44.074> of<00:47:44.822> the<00:47:45.064> way<00:47:45.243> of<00:47:45.405> living<00:47:46.603> that<00:47:46.846> Jesus<00:47:47.186> invited<00:47:47.510> us<00:47:47.672> into. 00:47:50.004 --> 00:47:53.078 There<00:47:50.247> is<00:47:50.441> no<00:47:50.732> life<00:47:51.720> in<00:47:52.303> serving<00:47:52.692> self. 00:47:54.447 --> 00:48:15.186 When<00:47:54.608> we<00:47:54.720> serve<00:47:55.010> self,<00:47:55.509> we<00:47:55.606> might<00:47:55.896> have<00:47:56.540> all<00:47:56.636> sorts<00:47:56.942> of<00:47:57.103> good<00:47:57.280> experiences<00:47:58.166> for<00:47:58.311> a<00:47:58.391> time,<00:47:59.293> but<00:48:00.742> why<00:48:01.048> is<00:48:01.209> it—<00:48:01.450> why<00:48:01.547> have<00:48:01.692> we<00:48:01.788> seen<00:48:02.046> so<00:48:02.352> many<00:48:02.514> stories<00:48:03.145> of<00:48:03.808> the<00:48:03.954> young<00:48:04.860> rock<00:48:05.102> and<00:48:05.183> roll<00:48:05.410> prodigy<00:48:06.235> or<00:48:06.963> film<00:48:07.287> prodigy<00:48:07.675> or<00:48:07.756> whatever<00:48:08.031> it<00:48:08.161> is<00:48:08.808> who<00:48:09.148> achieves<00:48:09.957> the<00:48:10.054> mountain<00:48:10.604> of<00:48:10.685> success<00:48:11.702> and<00:48:11.846> is<00:48:12.167> absolutely<00:48:12.681> miserable,<00:48:13.532> anxious,<00:48:14.110> and<00:48:14.190> can't<00:48:14.656> bear<00:48:14.833> their<00:48:14.993> life. 00:48:15.330 --> 00:48:17.755 It's<00:48:15.475> like,<00:48:16.117> because<00:48:16.856> it's<00:48:16.936> not<00:48:17.145> what<00:48:17.225> we're<00:48:17.305> made<00:48:17.562> for. 00:48:18.044 --> 00:48:20.420 Like,<00:48:18.381> success<00:48:19.232> doesn't<00:48:19.553> actually<00:48:19.810> make<00:48:19.986> us<00:48:20.115> happy. 00:48:21.030 --> 00:48:29.651 So<00:48:22.041> the<00:48:22.138> problem<00:48:22.619> is<00:48:22.764> that<00:48:22.844> we<00:48:22.924> live<00:48:23.101> in<00:48:23.165> a<00:48:23.245> world<00:48:23.422> today<00:48:23.743> where<00:48:23.904> we<00:48:24.064> can<00:48:24.209> spend<00:48:24.450> our<00:48:24.546> entire<00:48:24.931> life<00:48:25.188> chasing<00:48:25.975> the<00:48:26.071> myriad<00:48:26.456> of<00:48:26.553> things<00:48:26.858> that<00:48:27.034> promise<00:48:27.436> to<00:48:27.596> make<00:48:27.853> us<00:48:28.078> feel<00:48:28.303> happy<00:48:28.961> and<00:48:29.106> then<00:48:29.282> don't. 00:48:30.005 --> 00:48:34.661 Or<00:48:30.647> as<00:48:30.807> Larry<00:48:30.984> Mills<00:48:31.289> says,<00:48:32.638> there's<00:48:32.814> never<00:48:33.039> enough<00:48:33.232> of<00:48:33.376> anything<00:48:33.762> that<00:48:33.922> almost<00:48:34.259> works. 00:48:35.303 --> 00:48:41.671 But<00:48:35.447> now<00:48:35.688> we<00:48:35.768> have<00:48:35.865> so<00:48:36.122> much<00:48:36.507> that<00:48:36.667> we<00:48:36.828> can<00:48:36.989> go<00:48:37.213> after<00:48:37.936> Yeah,<00:48:38.673> that<00:48:39.138> when<00:48:39.298> one<00:48:39.555> thing<00:48:39.715> doesn't<00:48:40.020> work,<00:48:40.276> we<00:48:40.356> just<00:48:40.581> pivot<00:48:40.853> and<00:48:40.933> try<00:48:41.158> another<00:48:41.414> thing. 00:48:41.799 --> 00:48:54.383 And<00:48:41.895> then<00:48:42.665> anyhow,<00:48:42.857> so<00:48:43.883> I<00:48:43.947> think<00:48:44.107> first<00:48:44.364> and<00:48:44.444> foremost,<00:48:44.925> we<00:48:45.005> have<00:48:45.181> to<00:48:45.262> shift<00:48:45.710> our<00:48:45.887> paradigm<00:48:46.528>

Like,<00:54:38.456> I<00:54:38.472> know<00:54:38.681> we're<00:54:40.126> one<00:54:40.303> right<00:54:40.544> next<00:54:40.849> step<00:54:41.330> and<00:54:41.411> then<00:54:41.523> the<00:54:41.587> next,<00:54:42.230> and<00:54:42.470> God's<00:54:42.775> revealing<00:54:43.193> those. 00:54:43.819 --> 00:54:53.886 But<00:54:45.360> this<00:54:45.682> book<00:54:45.987>

Like,<00:54:54.432> it's—<00:54:54.834> I<00:54:54.978> think<00:54:55.155> it's<00:54:55.299> an<00:54:55.379> invitation<00:54:57.178> to<00:54:57.322> them<00:54:58.430> to<00:54:58.591> pull<00:54:58.832> out<00:54:59.072> of<00:55:00.036> life<00:55:00.758> as<00:55:00.855> usual<00:55:01.882> and<00:55:01.979> step<00:55:02.316> into<00:55:02.830> what<00:55:02.943>

particularly<00:55:05.596> for<00:55:05.758> men<00:55:06.017> that<00:55:06.114> have<00:55:06.260> experienced<00:55:09.172> the<00:55:09.577> breakdown<00:55:10.612> of,<00:55:11.178>

like<00:55:18.462> some<00:55:18.624> people<00:55:18.720> will<00:55:18.881> say<00:55:19.107> like,<00:55:19.333> well,<00:55:19.752> when<00:55:19.897> I<00:55:19.929> achieve<00:55:20.251> career<00:55:20.493> success,<00:55:20.961> then<00:55:21.186> that<00:55:21.589> will<00:55:21.686> make<00:55:21.863> me<00:55:21.992> happy. 00:55:22.879 --> 00:55:26.215 Well,<00:55:23.136>
