Act Like Men - FOR REAL!

"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong." — 1 Corinthians 16:13

Act Like Men for Real is a raw, unfiltered conversation for men who are done with surface-level faith. Hosted by Pastor Devon Harris, this podcast challenges men to rise up — spiritually, mentally, and physically — and become the godly leaders God has called them to be.

Grounded in Scripture and shaped by real-life discipline, each episode tackles the battles men face every day: faith under pressure, leading your family with integrity, standing firm in a culture that mocks conviction, and building the kind of character that holds up when life gets hard.

No fluff. No excuses. Just truth, grace, and the grit to live it out. Whether you're in uniform, in the boardroom, or in the pew — this is your call to man up, stand tall, and act like men for real."

Act Like Men - FOR REAL! - UnHoly Places
So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more. (Eph. 4:17–19)

Act Like Men - FOR REAL! - 10,000 Year Plan
What is your 10,000 year plan?
 "The Heart of a Warrior: Before You Can Become the Warrior, You Must Become the Beloved Son" by Michael Thompson
---------------------------------------------------
quote from "Wild at Heart Expanded Edition: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul" by John Eldredge -
"THE WOUND’S EFFECT Every man carries a wound. I have never met a man without one. No matter how good your life may have seemed to you, you live in a broken world full of broken people. Your mother and father, no matter how wonderful, couldn’t have been perfect. She is a daughter of Eve, and he a son of Adam. So there is no crossing through this country without taking a wound. They may come from other sources—a brother, an uncle, a coach, or a stranger. But come they do. And every wound, whether it’s assaultive or passive, delivers with it a message. The message feels final and true, absolutely true, because it is delivered with such force. Our reaction to it shapes our personality in very significant ways. From that flows the false self. Most of the men you meet are living out a false self, a pose, which is directly related to their wounds."

Act Like Men - FOR REAL! - Wolves and Watchdogs
But remember, to keep it real, first requires us to be real ourselves. We cannot guard others against sin we ourselves indulge in. We cannot oversee another’s teaching if we don’t teach the truth ourselves. We cannot call others to faith if we don’t walk in faith ourselves. We cannot let others live if we don’t find life in Christ first, and we cannot live fulfilled lives if we don’t let others live as well.
Let’s Live and Let Live:
How do you sometimes struggle to just keep it real in your walk with Jesus?How can you discern between wolves and watchdogs – which messages are rooted in the real Gospel, and which are not?Where might our Master be calling you to as a watchdog over certain flock? Maybe your own household or family, your friends or colleagues, or even your church?

Act Like Men - FOR REAL - The Spiritual Man
 
quote from "The Spiritual Man" by Watchman Nee -
"How can a believer understand spiritual life if he does not know what is the extent of the realm of the spirit? Without such understanding how can he grow spiritually? To fail to distinguish between spirit and soul is fatal to spiritual maturity. Christians often account what is soulical as spiritual, and thus they remain in a soulish state and seek not what is really spiritual. How can we escape loss if we confuse what God has divided?"

Act Like Men - For REAL - Fight Club
We like to be the Warrior. We don't want to talk about the enemy, but there is solutions and there is a strategy. The enemy, the world, of course, the flesh, which is always weird because we want to say the devil made me do it.
