This talk hits home. I've recently been under a lot of stress and my character has been trash. I recognize the problem. I won't stop trying to improve.
“Character” is more than a state in a given period of time. It’s who you are, at the core. You cant have “bad character” days or moments. You either have or dont have good character.
@@Tunagates22this rings true. However as Chuck pointed out the bad character can often be reserved or held in check until times of duress. I don't think the OP's posting neglects your point but perhaps recognizes it in the parting commitment.
Oh yeah, I'll bet you're a trump voter though huh? Better realize that all you did was pick the lesser of two evils. Trump don't care about you or any of his voters. He's been a Democrat his whole life and he always will be. Not that that's much worse than being a republican though
A good character trait is also the ability to walk away. Wether it be a bad situation, a negative confrontation or just bad people. I had to learn that trait and it was difficult for me because I thought that I always had to argue my point. Sometimes the best response is no response at all.
Does humility imply understanding yourself as a seeker of truth and God instead of self-identifying as someone who has the truth, is "saved" or "chosen"?
meekness is a term that is completely misinterpreted and your a huge person and a great man bro .. to be meek isn't to be weak .. i appreciate you bro appreciate your devotion...
1 Corinthians 15:33 NLT - Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.” Solid teaching, Chad, thanks again 👍
Thanks, actually needed that. Been in a few situations recently where its been hard to keep from lashing out and continue to be understanding. It's nice to have some reinforcement that I'm doing the right thing.
Which God? Who's God? Imagination isn't reality. Believing in a contradictory theory can only be maintained with delusional psychosis. An all powerful "creator" that is perfect in every way wouldn't create an imperfect planet that kills hundreds of thousands of his children every year.
Ability can be a taught and learned, Character is what makes a true leader. When people believe in the cause, they will exceed their limits. It takes a leader with true character to inspire people to greatness. Excellent question Chadd!
I'm in the process of rebuilding my character, from the foundation up. Man, I'm even talking to church people again. It's a small step in the right direction of where I'm headed. Don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way there kinda thing. I speak for more than myself when I say that I highly encourage these biblical breakdowns of character building. We need men that step up and true authenticity is the way to do it.
Well said sir. Just prayed before listening to this and those were 5 of several things that I prayed to God to help me be a better Godly man, husband, and father is 2025. I love your Truck Talks brother! You and Shawn have great content that I look forward to every week!
Thats not exactly what Jesus Christ taught, your basically saying no one can become born again Christian. Not everyone and not most but at least some people can change.
Chadd, like many people are saying, I think this is probably the best truck talk you’ve done brother. I can really tell you are well spoken from all your podcasting and public speaking. I remember you saying you did these truck talks in one take. Thanks so much for the well spoken Biblical wisdom. It hit a nerve on some things in my life recently.
Well done! This is your best yet and the reason I liked it so much is that you used Scripture perfectly. So Often, people quote Scripture out of context or twisted to "prove" their point. You used it exactly the way it was meant to be used...to teach and instruct . As a retired sailor and active minister, I appreciate what you do. Keep it up!
I had thought this exact thing about Elon in that moment when I saw what he posted, and your video title reminded me of him. It's interesting that he is precisely who you're talking about too!
Excellent self reflection episode. I have poor/weak character…but everyday, every task, every word that comes from my mouth is a test/exercise in character.
Character is far, far more important than ability. One can acquire an ability in a day and hone it over time. Character is partly inherent, but mostly takes years to develop. Once it's locked in, it's not going anywhere. If you drop off on an ability for a few months, you get rusty. Character is crystalline; ability is liquid.
I think we are all human and God expects that of us that there are moments where we can slip. And be put under pressure and not measurebut that's what grace and mercy are for.❤
Jimmy Carter had good character. Not sure of ability as president. Always heard …. “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.”John Wooden( a legendary basketball player coach)
@@godsgoodnessandgrace That's a good point, why did we pay for that river anyway? It's kinda crazy because I've been looking at a map and I just can't seem to find the state of Panama anywhere in the USA!
Chadd, I absolutely agree with you that character is more important than skill. Another great podcast brother! I love seeing your faith being reflected in your discussion of these topics. Keep up the good work brother
Level of technology that Elon Musk is invested in, does not match up with the conservative viewpoint of the end times in my opinion. He is about number one, control, and digital/technological advancements to stay ahead of the rest of the world. We do not need those advancements, telling us how to run our life, or running our life for us.Take that for whatever it’s worth.
Strive to instill these traits into life. As adults we have to bestow these to the young so they themselves can strive to be better than us. Be patient and time tells all. Happy New Year 3of7 🤙🏻
character is more valuable. It is much harder to improve or change. if someone doesn’t have character, it’s much harder to give them a character. Skills and abilities are things that can be learned and honed through practice and repetition. If someone doesn’t have a skill or ability, it’s very possible to train them.
I agree with you Chad, we ALL have bad moments. It’s easy to point out others faults or mistakes, much harder to find a way to give them grace. Mindset is everything, change the channel and see if you can come up with something positive about a guy who’s putting himself out to try and make positive changes in the Country.
Character … Hands down brother Elon is a Man Child who throws temper tantrums when things don’t go his way and that’s dangerous for someone who has power like Elon
Absolutely!!! That way if a person of integrity and honesty EVER gets into office, GONE in two terms. We can't allow that kind of person to have a long career in public service!
Big time. Like was hasten hold up been. The people as a whole are too soft when it comes to demanding certain things. It’ll be the death of us. We deserve what we tolerate.
Money he has a lot of money and trump only cares about money. So Elon dog walks him a few million at a time it breaks the illusion trump can't be bought. That's why yall are having a hard time comprehending your disdain for Elon
I thought the “ Devils Champion “ suit was cringe. Mild Autism keeps them in certain states of stunted youth as well as states of brilliance. It’s a blessing and a curse for Elon as well and he has admitted as much but aren’t we all a bit bent going down the road . Happy New Year !
Where your heart is truly invested will pour out in your character, in ease and in the wine press. The 5 you just detailed is the complete opposite of what mankind chases and strives toward. The opposite is preached and blitz advertised to the young and even to the old. Do you hear the lightning crack, across all the eyes and ears you just pierced with those words. Out of the mouth of a warrior. Great lesson, great lesson.
This talk hits home. I've recently been under a lot of stress and my character has been trash. I recognize the problem. I won't stop trying to improve.
Motivation will get you started. Discipline will keep you going.
“Character” is more than a state in a given period of time. It’s who you are, at the core. You cant have “bad character” days or moments. You either have or dont have good character.
Recognizing the problem is one of the most important steps. No problem can be solved that is not first acknowledged
Jesus Christ is the answer. God bless you , friend. I will pray for you

“Bad character is like rot” Amen 🙏
Want to know a persons real character? Give them power.
Trust ability over character? Always expect a double cross.
Well said 🙏🏽💪🏽🇺🇸
Youre just coping you aint as smart as Elon
Or take the power away
Any man with power like Elon, doesn't have to use a Potty Mouth the get his point across.
I served under more than a few CO's and XO's in the Navy who proved that statement true.
I think this might be the best truck talk ive seen boss, thank you
@@jedneal2322 I agree 🙏🏽🇺🇸 Happy new year 🎆🎊🎈 ❤️🙏🏽
Bad character corrupts good company.
Congress has not been a company of good men since Act of 1871. So, your arguement is flawed.
Oh yeah, I'll bet you're a trump voter though huh? Better realize that all you did was pick the lesser of two evils. Trump don't care about you or any of his voters. He's been a Democrat his whole life and he always will be. Not that that's much worse than being a republican though
@@locustsandhoney486 I actually agree with you regarding congress . Not everyone.
1 Corinthians 15:33 NLT - Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.”
-This one 👍
@ Thank you ! You’re Awesome. I remember heating this & it stuck with me. Thank you sweet Jesus
Okay, this was the best truck talk I've heard. There may be better ones, but this one elevated you to another level.
A good character trait is also the ability to walk away. Wether it be a bad situation, a negative confrontation or just bad people. I had to learn that trait and it was difficult for me because I thought that I always had to argue my point. Sometimes the best response is no response at all.
Humility is the most important IMO. When someone lacks humility they are not good leaders, or people in general.
Does humility imply understanding yourself as a seeker of truth and God instead of self-identifying as someone who has the truth, is "saved" or "chosen"?
Don’t mistake humility for lack of ability. Big mistake. Thanks Chadd
@@MOstix13
Or vice versa.
Agree... it's also the key to every victory for a Christian. "Humility" by Andrew Murray is a great read.
meekness is a term that is completely misinterpreted and your a huge person and a great man bro .. to be meek isn't to be weak .. i appreciate you bro appreciate your devotion...

Same….this truck talk is right on time!
This talk should be taught in school.
Agreed. It is truly fundamental.
Excellent truck talk Chadd. Self-assessment and assessment of leaders are constantly needed. Thank you for this advice.
Excellent discussion Chad. We should strive for making God proud of us. Not easy, but we must do it.
Got that right sister!
Which God? Who's God?
Imagination isn't reality. Believing in a contradictory theory can only be maintained with delusional psychosis. An all powerful "creator" that is perfect in every way wouldn't create an imperfect planet that kills hundreds of thousands of his children every year.
Good word! Been digging these positive truck talks.
You are a very wise man, Chad. Thank you for what you do!
Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly.
Blessed be the wicked who are healed by my hand 🔥

GOOD WORD My BROTHER!! Thank You..May God Bless you & yours abundantly in 2025!!🙂
You are born with personality and you build Character. Your abilities stem from how well your character has been built.
Well said. Character will always shine as our abilities begin to tarnish. God Bless
That was a good review of character, Chadd. Thank you. I particularly enjoyed "meekness".
You must REALLY dislike Trump. He is the pure personification of the 7 Deadly Sins.
No truer words have been spoken.
I love the way Bannon countered.
Let's talk about George Soros getting the medal of freedom from Joe Biden. 🤡🤪😆
This was a very solid truck talk. Your perspective is good.

A person with good Character can learn to be more able!!!! An able person with bad character will never learn good character.

Thank you!
Very insightful and encouraging. I've learned from you.
Thank you
My friend - thank you - I needed to hear this today.
Great talk. Birds of a feather flock together. I will be looking to see who has character this coming administration.
If you lose all your money, you lose nothing. If you lose your health, you lose something. If you lose your character, you lose everything.
Good conversation, good facts it's hard to keep my patiences when dealing with corrupt individuals,
That was Beautifully said brotha💜😎

thanks.
Same to you.
I have fallen away from religion, but I love hearing how you speak about it. It is making me really think and consider my future✌🏻
Thank you, my brother, in Christ.
A much needed perspective. Character is more important, and that understanding seems to be dwindling quickly.
Needed to hear this today for many reasons. Good truck talk.
Excellent video, I believe character is by far the most important thing.
i've seen this play out in my own life. without character you really have nothing.
Awesome teaching!! Great way to kick off the New Year listening to this!
I pray God’s hedge of protection around you and yours in 2025. 🙏
Self control,
Desire,
Mercy,
Pure intensions,
Peace maker.
Intention is spelled with a t. Peace is not a virtuous thing.
Keep preaching!!! Really good stuff right here!!!!!
self control is a tough one, especially when one is ready at every second to go to war against evil.
Christ Bless!
Excellent words, brother Chadd. Blessings in the New Year.
The two sith lords. Look at the stare Elon does, its like a "im finally gonna get even for beinf picked on as a kid".
I had thought this exact thing about Elon in that moment when I saw what he posted, and your video title reminded me of him. It's interesting that he is precisely who you're talking about too!

Ditto times two for Trump
I am a firm believer in your character being your motive and morals.
