Welcome to the line within us, a podcast, serving Christian men who are hungry to be the leaders. They are predestined to be. I’m your host, Chris ranger. Let’s jump in. All right guys. This week, this is going to be a heavy topic. We’re going to be talking about lions and anxiety. Okay. Now I know that’s not a topic that a lot of people do want to talk about, but it’s something we need to, we need to understand that anxiety is real now the verse of the week that, that we want to talk about first Peter, five, seven cast, all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.

Okay. So wonderful verse and he really to do that, we need to humble ourselves and to be able to serve others. We, if we do that, we can’t be seeking our own glory. Really. We can’t do it. If you are trying to serve yourself, you’re never going to be able to humble yourself enough to actually move forward and do what God wants you to do.

You know, Peter’s left. When you think about what Peter was telling us, it was a command. He was commanding us to cash your anxieties. Now, when you think about a command, that means you better, you know what? That’s throwing something, you better. You’re all in. You are leaning into that. It doesn’t, you know, it’s not just a very passive type verse is very direct cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Now, what does this verse. Is this verse say that guy’s going to fix everything? No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t say that. It says because God cares. He’s our father. He loves us and he loves us like no other, but you know what? Sometimes I, as a father, we can’t fix everything. You know what, because maybe we’re going down the path that we shouldn’t be going on.

Okay. And maybe that’s an area you need to reflect in your heart and think about, is this anxiety hitting me? Because I’m doing something that’s outside of God’s plan for my life. That’s something that you really need to consider, you know, so Peter’s being very direct here. Again. I love Peter wants the only think about Peter had the way he, the way he brought his message, he was a very matter of a fat guy.

Right? Very direct. I think many lines out there can appreciate that. Now there’s some that probably don’t, but you know what? Peter was to the point, he was going to tell you what was on his mind, good or bad Gavin in trouble. A lot of times. But you know what? This is a great verse cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you because when you’re in the middle of a zap of an anxiety attack or stress, or there’s all these factors coming down on you, it can feel like you’re so alone.

It can feel like the world is against you, and there’s no way to win, but you know what? You’re never alone as a believer. You have the holy spirit. You have God, you have Jesus, you have all this at your fingertips. You just have to tap into it. And you have to realize too, they’re having anxiety or stress, things like that.

There’s nothing to be ashamed about there. Fellas mean, come on stresses. We is, is real. There’s so much that we can be overwhelmed with so much, but the cool part we got to save you. So we can bring it to him. So guys, this week, I really want you to think about that. Think about how you can cast your anxiety on him and how your God, how he loves you and call him father, call him dad, whatever you need to do, make that mental image of him caring for you.

So this week on the big episode on Wednesday, it’s going to be me and I’m going to be talking about. Some areas of anxiety. I’m going to give you 10 areas to encouragement that will help you in your. Because there are so many things coming against us. I sat down and I thought about, you know, what, what can I tell the lions out there that are going to help them as they fight anxiety?

So I came up with some supports, some tips and with the anxious times that we live in and the stressors that are always nipping at our are at every angle we turn around, I thought these will help you. So the most manly thing you can do is listen to your mind. And be aware to attack that Satan stolen, because I’m gonna tell you what guys, the closer you get to God, the more you try to lead your family in the way that he desires and the way that the Bible demands, the more tax that are going to come.

And I don’t mean to be Debbie downer here, but guys, you know what? All the bright side we have a savior, we have the power. We have the holy spirit. We have the armor of God. We have all these tools and together banded together as brothers, as lions, as a coalition of lions, working buddy as a powerful, powerful group.

It’s not gonna mess with that. Think about a lion’s den. It’s a dangerous place. And we have a bunch of lions fighting for Lord and aligning their life to serve him, look out cause great things are going to happen. So there’s your versatile week cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. And that’s in first, Peter five, seven.

Now the question of the week, do you view anxiety as a week? And who is your support team? Because if it’s, yes, I want you to pray to really draw a line on that. And then your support team. We’re going to talk about that moral Wednesday, but think about right now, who is your support team? Who were the people out there that you go to the guys, if you like it, this, if you think this is helpful, share with other people, if you keep it in your.
