Episode #5
Title: “The Moment Before Movement”
Episode Summary
In this episode, I explore the idea that as men we use “being quiet” … as armor.
Key Thought of this episode
There is a “moment” when we realize that we are stuck; and that our current armor has become too small; so, we may not understand what our next move needs to be and therefore we remain stuck.
Key Scripture
Psalm 40:2 “He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the muck and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.”
Reflection
One of the ideas discussed in this episode is: realizing that our current armor has become too small, and the moment of realization of us being stuck, and then there is a moment before we try to move that we become quiet… again… like we have in the past… but now, being stuck has revealed that that armor is no longer adequate for the next move we have to make… so, there is a “moment before movement.”
Question(s) for Reflection
• What is your current state? Are you stuck?
• Is there an area where God is asking you to pause before moving?
Closing Thought
Some problems in life are not solved by trying harder. They are solved in that brief “moment before movement.”
