In a culture that either demonizes men or excuses them, we need men to know that God has a mission for them to pursue. To lead and love well.
Join me as I work through the challenges, and joys of what it means to be a man. This is a place for men to be strengthened on their mission to lead and love.
When I was a young teenager all I wanted was money, fame and girls. Now I'm 24 just like you and for the last 5 years all I've wanted was a loving wife, happy kids and a job that pays well enough to provide for them.
Me but from the female perspective
Real
Bro, having kids at that age? ok
@@usernotfound7481A 24 year old man is an adult. And as long as he is in Christ, God will supply his and his family's needs.
Same bro, same. Problem is the whole world thinks hurry working is the only thing that matters, and it means the natural way of life suffers.
I live by the concept of "work hard, then rest hard". I'm 32 and I've been working my ass off in isolation since I was 25 in trying to build my life to where I want it to be. I have successfully put myself in a situation where I never have to work again or never have to worry about money. I now have all the freedom to do whatever I want to do for the rest of my life and start a family.
But do you have Christ? Did you do it for Him? Or for yourself? Were you living your life for Him in fellowship with other Christians or were you collecting money and things. Do you believe that Jesus Christ died so you may live? All He asks us to do is live for Him.
Luke 12:13-21.
Great job man! I’m 18, and want to achieve those great things that you did. Any advice you could give? And what did you do to not be worried about money?
@@Diego-sk8jtwe're in the same boat. They never want to share answers 😢
Learn about passive income streams like investing. Understand the power of compounding
I've overcome my anxiety from hurry and the rat race but honestly, I think it comes from a place of privilege. I have no dependents and my family are pretty well-off, so I can afford to pace myself with life and work on things on my own terms. Some people can't afford to live like that and live on the edge every day
This is so true!
Thank you for making me aware..this makes so much sense. I’m 22. These last few years I’ve been running myself to the ground working 6 days a week, 2 jobs etc. I’m like this because I live in a unhealthy household and I’ve experienced homelessness, struggle etc growing up and it’s created this mindset to do anything and everything I can to never experience that again. I need to ask God to heal that trauma.
Thanks brother I really needed a video like this I feel like I’m in a constant race living at the speed of light not taking proper time to just stop and sit.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 322 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
What is your channel about, what is your cliche? ...try showcasing it more and you'll gain more audience
I’m a 24 year old Bible believing business owner and it’s great to spend time making The business His!!!!
amen!
I love this!
What a great topic for a video Issac! Thank you for putting into words a lot of things that are usually left unspoken. Much love brother and God bless ❤
The common belief in the rat race is that you need to progress in your career to get nicer things. Society says, “don’t be content with what you have, covet what your neighbor has.” But scripture says to be content in what God has given you. Maybe God will take you down a path of great success, but if He is not leading you in that pursuit, your pursuit is in vain.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Glory to God, this message is so helpful to us in this era. You're already enough when you have Christ. God bless you for this message.
amen!
This is such a powerful video. I’m 18 now and the past year I feel like I’ve been lost in a hurry trying to achieve my goals as fast and efficiently as possible, though as time went on I feel I began losing something that was much more important then anything achieving those next “wants” could get me. Even when I got those things I still felt like I wanted something EVEN MORE and it has been a cycle the past few years. This video has made me aware how distractive this mindset has been, while I have made so much progress, I feel I’ve only fallen behind spiritually and at the end of the day that’s what matters most. Thank you man ❤️
Thank you so much for uploading this. It's like you're describing my exact situation for the past few months. Looking to others for validation, burnout at my job, rushing and working LONG days in order to "get ahead" or something like that. Had to take some time off this week and have been re-evaluating my attitude and disposition. Your words are certainly helping me out in these processes. I am like you - I tend to ignore and push off spiritual discipline and commitment during seasons of rushing - but why? Can't do that anymore.
Thank you for your channel and insights. You are helping more than you know!
I love that book! Thank you so much for this video!
Amazing man. I struggle with sitting in peaceful moments and this was a great reminder that that's a gift. Thank you :)
This has been me these days. I thank God for speaking to me through you. God bless you and protect you Isaac!
I needed this! 😭
One of the best and most relatable videos I’ve EVER watched!
I think I really needed this. Thank you and God bless.
Dude this video helped me so much. Thank you dude God bless you
Needed this! Me, my girlfriend, and some of my friends all seem to deal with this. Thank you brother and God bless you!
Wow. This was everything I needed and more! Yesterday I made a prayer "oh god don't allow for my work to consume me to the point where you are no longer my priority or to the point where I forget you". God lead me to this video and it perfectly sums up everything that I've been going through. Thank you!
Amen🙏🏾 really needed this
I needed this at this very point in my life. Thank you.
Praise be to God for getting me to this video, and a massive thank you to you for making it. These last two weeks have felt so rough for me spirituality and you put exactly how I've felt into words. Panickied, rushed, anxious, and lagging behind but I had no idea in what. But when you said "If the devil can't make you bad, he makes you busy" it clicked. I stopped getting my validation, significance, and purpose from God without even realizing it and starting trying to get it from the world around me again. Thank you so much for the video, God bless
Big love to u Bro❤
Wow. Beautiful explanation of hurry and how it’s hurting us and I love how you intertwined God’s word and his desire for us to be grateful and focused on him into that. Thank you🙏🏻
Wow I really needed this video, God spoke to me through this. Thank you.
needed to hear this
This is all I wanted to hear from someone. My heart felt relaxation after watching this.
Man, this is such good advice and it is grounded on biblical teaching. Thanks!
Not a guy (though I’m also just 24) but I just wanted to say wow your content and ministry is amazing! Thank you so much for being willing to let God use you as a vessel for His wisdom and glory - as an ambassador for Jesus among the guys in our generation. Keep it up! Praying for you!
So true. When I was training leaders in India the slower pace went against my drive. I had to remind myself the relationships matter so much more then the work. One leader said to me one day "you struggle to see that God does the work not you"... Ouch! It has changed me forever in slowing down and trusting God to actually do the work while I work unhurried.
Just hit like button because of your personality, thank you for sharing your thoughts
little scary how this is relatable keep doing gods work def speaking thru u
Thank you so much for this video ❤
Awsome video! Really needed to hear this! God Bless🙏🏽
Dude. Absolutely amazing bro. Thanks for the content!
"God is enough for me and that's what matters"
Great message brother
I needed these wise words ❤ thank you my brother in Christ. I pray that my depression and the fog will lift ✝️
I love this channel man
The biggest irony is that I watched this at 1.5x speed 😅 Nonetheless, this was an important video for me. Learning to be content and to move in accordance with God's timing is definitely something I needed to hear!
Love what you said about hypersensitivity. Never realized that taking offense is usually a product of taking the grind too seriously!
I had a meeting today and every person in that meeting was recognized for something except me. I certainly felt some type of way and immediately excluded. 12:03 "In God I am enough" such a powerful and inspiring daily affirmation to remember, especially in a world of Work & Hustle Culture where your value and worth is based on how much you produce, looks, and material possessions. To say that my reward and recognition comes from God alone instantly brings me joy and reminds me that I am worthy and loved. Thank you for sharing this message.
May God bless the rest of your day amen 🙏
@@Uhm7 Thank you!
Do what you love with your life. There's nothing stopping you from pursuing dream careers
love to see a video like this. A true Godly perspective on the hardwork trend. Really helpful perspective, will definitely be changing my heart posture
Thank you for this, seriously
This video spoke to me more than you will ever know. All I can say is thank you.
Wow, that really inspired me and it really fits to my situation
I think this topic speaks to the beauty of the Sabbath Day. God's word says: "Remember the Sabbath, and keep it Holy..." 1 day every week, when I do not work; a day to slow down, focus on Him, my wife, my family, rest, and be in prayer. I hustle all the other days, but on the Sabbath I slow down, give thanks and focus on the priorities.
I’m gonna have to join your Discord or something because I don’t know you personally but I’m extremely proud of you as just a brother in Christ and I want this channel to succeed because you’re really doing a great job with these videos.
This is definitely ME!!
And I live life as fast as possible to reach the even faster. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting, and not hurrying up enough 😕
Great video as always
God is speaking to me through you in this video. Thanks for being an awesome servant!
Wow, I got a little emotional watching this video, as a business owner and young entrepreneur I related so much to those symptoms of hurry. The impatience, irritability, lack of spiritual disciplines. God really used this video to minister to me. God bless you brother
This is beautiful bro
very interesting ,think you for your video dude , I'm also suffering from this race cycle it's diving me into a depression state where I'm not able to move a finger and to do any advancing step in order to move forward , your way of doing things showed me another conception of life , overthinking the future drives anxious
So happy I found this channel
Great video and reminder! St. Thomas Aquinas says that people replace God with wealth, honor, pleasure and power. It's these idols of the world which pushes the rat race. My relationship with the Lord helped me detach and it was not easy but a constant struggle throughout the spiritual life. I always look to what St. Augustine said, "my heart is restless until it rests in thee."
Deep insatisfaction tend to lead to an urge for those things. Detachment is the way out as you say. How were you able to undergo such a transformation? You can tell the mind to change but telling your heart is much more difficult I dare to say.
@@ZenithBeyondyou only need 1 word: Repent. Repent means being willing to change. Moving away from sins will free you. If you keep wanting things outside you you will keep chasing.
Great Content Man!
wow brother. Incredible word. I've never heard the proper language behind what I'm going through before. this is it.
Thnk you for this
I can relate to this, and I’m a woman. Still at home, been trying to find work, and work on this ministry/business that God has given me. And I struggle with feeling like I’m not doing enough, that I’m being lazy, or not working hard enough. I’m struggling with insecurity because I don’t have a traditional job atm, and God has been showing me that my security is not in what I do, but who I am in Him. It’s still a struggle, but learning to trust God, and not constantly job search or worry, or work myself to exhaustion just trying to do tasks is difficult.
Realizing that work is about serving God and others and being responsible has helped a lot. Even if I’m not doing a 9-5, if I’m tending to my responsibilities, serving God and others, and trusting Him with it all, there’s freedom there.
God knows what we need and He will provide in His timing and in His way, letting go and trusting Him is both difficult yet rewarding.
Your reward is in Heaven, Trust In Him With All Your Heart, Mind, and Soul, And You Shall Be Filled. May God Bless You And His Peace Be Upon You Always!
I’m in my 50s, and I can tell you that you are on the right path. I have worked in the slave system all my life. Grinding out a living for fake fiat money which I could care less about. Spend your time in the presence of the Lord in quiet places. Wait on Him. Seek him constantly and ignore the devil’s accusations about being lazy. Your answer to that accusation is,” If being lazy equates to staying out of this toxic system and sitting at the feet of Jesus, then I’m guilty as charged!” I pray the Lord blesses you abundantly in your ministry!
Thank you . tjis is just amazing and wake up call for me.
I'm 60 and I've been living in a van for six years now. I live my life on a very low budget. I work as a truck driver in British Columbia Canada. That's where they do the tv show," Highway through hell. " I love my job. I work only in summer time, about 50 hours a week. At the end of October I pack up and go down south in Arizona for a couple of months and come back at the beginning of May. I'm not part of the rat race. I live my life according to a saying, " the richest person in the world is the one who needs the least to be happy, and that's me."
I love this. Such an awakening we know it but sometimes we need a reminder. ❤😂. I need to meditate haha.
I love the insight that you're giving!
Yet you're speaking soo quickly. xD
This helped, thank you.
I need that book ASAP ( again with the hurry 😆) can any one let me know how I can get it.
I am so glad i found your site and you speak the truth God is all we need period.
This video hit home
you’re so intelligent ❤i love listening to intelligent men , growing up i didn’t have any male influence to look up to and as i get older i see the importance of actually having male guidance .. as a teenage girl inspiring to be the best at this life , ur words are so useful pls never stop being you❤
i really needed to see this. i constantly feel like a failure in this society since i can't afford the things i want although i am working towards a better future.. i just feel like bills are always due, and i always have to work. i just want to be able to rest. but i do know God sent me to your page. Thank you for your beautiful message.
Thanks a lot man. For some reason I literally never thought dad hurry could be a bad thing, I always focus on being fast, bun hurry is not the same as being fast, and probably I don't actually need to be fast sometimes and definitely don't need to be hurry al the time.
Good work👍🏽
What advice would you have for someone who isnt as hurried in worldly things like money getting a gf etc but feels like they need to be doing much more for God or needs to be better spiritually or needs to do more ministry wise?
Do what you can do and give your heart to the Lord, listen to the Spirit, and you are done! He knows what you need to do at every moment- ever resting
I can definitely relate to this
I graduated college and had no career. I went back to school later in my 20s for nursing. I stuck with medical college and I'm happy with that education decision. Do what you love to make a living
Love this!! New sub ❤️
I’m learning to have urgency in my life without living in hurry.
Something that helps me is finding the purpose in my work. Being intentional about serving others to the best of my ability. Making connections with others.
We have a verse that says" Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path? " Which means Who is better guided he who walks grovelling on his face or he who walks upright on a Straight Path?
I’ve never put so much pressure on myself than I am right now, this video came at a perfect time. Just started my own supplement company because I’m tired of all these woke brands. It’s very difficult to balance the pursuit of wealth while keeping God first in your life. Let us all keep our eyes fixed on what really matters.
Do what you love for a job or career
Great video.
Do you have a group chat? Idk why but I for some reason thought you mentioned something about a discord for Men on a Mission and after a while realized there wasn’t one lol, but I think it’d be dope
we do! any level of channel member or patreon tier have access!
I feel like I'm at the point in my life where I need to hear the opposite message, but this message brings peace to my troubled mind.
This was always the goal by the establishment. I'm sure the majority of people in America can relate to at least 5 of these. Good vs evil my friend. Good vs Evil is real.
I always was in Hurry, even today, but God leaded me to this Video and I understood why He interfered with things in my Life, where i put myself in an artificial hurry, Thank You Men on Mission, I've been following you for quite a while and I think your Videos have huge Value, congrats to your well deserved succes! In Jesus Name Amen🙏
On point, thank you! Also stretching and intense exercise bringing oxygen and blood flow will help reduce these feelings.
So goood♥️🙏🏻
Bro you spoke to my soul this is so facts man God is awesome.
You explain my sad programming life perfectly :)
Awesome video
Quality content for sure, Godly counsel delivered in modern easy to understand. Christ bless you all you brothers
Thanks so much Isaac for these vids! As a teen this helps me so much, hurry has been taking control in my life. Thanks for obeying the Lord!
My girlfriend broke up with me recently and I realized this issue was the source of it; I would talk “formal” to her as if I was her father/therapist/coworker, anything but, boyfriend and i started to forget dates planned the next day and it all came down to “I don’t believe with your actions that you want to be intentional with me and that you don’t actually like me.”. Disorganized priorities, negative comparison to my place in life at 30 and working so much that I lost track of school and my girlfriends heart too. Felt foolish but, wasn’t a long relationship. Still she had a lot of amazing qualities of a Woman of Christ. Jesus is the answer guys.
I wish you can get back
The duty to work has been taken advantage of. We used to drive maybe 5 min to work, now it’s 15 minutes to an hour. Driving was a good, but cities have allowed companies to be so far into the city that it takes so long to get to work. I have to wake up at 5am to get to work at 7am.
Such an amazing vacation ❤
Hey man, what a great video! I will say I'm a bit conflicted because from my perspective, nothing great in life is ever built by people who tell themselves that they are enough. Sure, rest is very important and I believe God accepts us wholeheartedly for who we are, but for some there is a calling to achieve more regardless. Prayer and spirituality is a pillar in my life, but I'm wired to be hardworking and that's where I find the most enjoyment in worldly life personally.
John Mark Comer is pretty cool! I used to be good friends with his son before they moved away and I’ve been to his house a few times!
Whats the book?
