Why Some Men Don't Taste Life
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- In this video, I reflect on the journey of faith and manhood, emphasizing that life’s true growth happens in moments of uncertainty, fear, and adversity. Society teaches us to avoid discomfort through distractions, but embracing challenges shapes our character and aligns us with God's will. I discuss the importance of long-term goals over short-term pleasures, the value of trusting closed doors as God's protection, and the patience required during seasons of waiting. As men, we must resist the urge to control everything, instead choosing faith to navigate life’s foggy path. Ultimately, our journey of faith defines us, and living with principle and vision leads to a life of purpose and fulfillment. Keywords: faith journey, Christian manhood, overcoming adversity, embracing uncertainty, living with purpose.

If the world hates you then all you can do is love it. If you hate her, you've wasted your life. A smile doesn't cost anything, just sometimes it takes a little effort. Anyone who opens their heart and carries the burden of others will be thrown into a pit.
you reap what you sow
you can love but not always be loved. Some say you love fish but if you loved it you wouldn't cook or eat it. people “like” to eat fish.
Make love, not war.
hate doesn't make you blind. it arises from blindness. The blind can see, hopefully you will soon too.

Thank you father Moses for filling your home with water just so the thumbnail would be epic. A great sacrifice 🙏
😅
Lmaoo
Hopefully his insurance doesn’t find out it was done on purpose 🙌🏼
😂
Honestly though, how did he do that thumbnail? Because if that was edited, it looks great.
Embrace losing, being wrong, etc because that is the easiest path to learning not only in life but about yourself and how to improve.
I needed to read this.
I have a passion and side hustle in which I want to invest more in, but I am afraid of losing.
@@SamElliott161 sometimes in life you have to take a risk. if the risk is not too great do it. but dont be a fool.
1) Your journey of faith is what defines you .
2) That journey is unseen untill you live it .
Respect to father Moses. We watching from 🇨🇦

I recently stopped drugs and alcohol cold turkey. I'm also trying to cut out nicotine all at once. This happened this week. I got reccomended this video while having cravings and it's gone now thank you so much this is exactly what I needed to hear. Every bit of it. I'm 19 and I'm hoping my story brings others who fell into my lifestyle to God. I need prayers from all of you to help me fight these cravings though they are very bad. I thank all of you who read this in advance.
I quit smoking by climbing mountains, hours of intense breathing. After that I put a cigarette in my mouth and almost pucked. Hope this helps, God help.
Do keep it going now before the next 6-8 years hit you and they've just slipped by, don't let anyone take you back to doing those things no matter who they are, you'll prosper if you protect yourself
My God Embraces You Now And Forever, Our God Suffered For You, Now, It's Your Turn, God Gave His Crown Of Thorns So You'll Return It To Him Drenched In Your Blood, And, In The End, Theosis Is Yours ☦️
I AM not perfect but : May the glory of god shine through,May the mercy of our Lord bring you to be clean. In the name of Jesus Christ May you All be well
We are rooting for you!
i needed this. i'm currently in a situation where i don't know what my tomorrow holds but in God we trust
Father. I have experienced a self induced drowning by way of greed and gambling addiction. Alcohol, random women, and short term pleasures ruled my life. I got myself into debt because i couldnt find gratitude to God for having a good job, being able to pay rent, and still having a little extra every month. Over almost 2 years i dug a deeper hole, fell deeper into the ocean of my self drowning. I am convinced that God gave me this adversity because i had turned my eyes away from Him and His plan. I have been a problem child Lord please have mercy on me. I am now working 2 jobs and will be back on solid footing in this physical world financially in about 1 year. But my faith has been cemented because God has given me the strength to swim up for air again and i know that i will be stronger and better man through Him because of what i have gone through. Thank you so much for the video
Wish you the best brother!
I feel you bro been through something similar minus the gambling and I’m on the right path I’m just waiting on my sunny day
Bro same story ! Like reading my life lately.
Have the same problems with greed. Wanting more when you have enough can lead us to all kinds of destructive actions and mindsets
@GloryToFatherGod777 realizing the problem is the first step that not many make.
The timing of this video is astounding.
Or the divine will of God. You know, either one.
For real
Indeed
True that, as l find myself at a crossroads were a somewhat course changing decision has to be done 🙏
Yes, there is no reason for this to be in my feed. I've never seen Father Moses on here before. The timing of this message is absolutely astounding.
god bless you father
Salut, spor la vizionarea clipurilor creștine
This is true. This is what life is all about. You cannot keep growing unless you're always facing challenges and growing stronger. Someone who has an easy life is missing out on what life is all about.
Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this video, I have been lost and confused lately. I almost chose a girl that’s not a Christian, due to social pressures and loneliness… I was quickly rebuked and upset with myself. It has taught me a lot and I refuse to avoid the taste of life. Thanks again Father
🫶🏼👊🏼
another amazing video.
getting through adversity is one thing, but learning to embrace that adversity and trusting God is another thing all together. faith in Christ is the way forward.
Good stuff Father Moses. “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.”
Because of my faith and knowledge that I have today, I clearly see that if some things of the past went my way, that would have been the end of me, and I would not have known the Lord
Amen, brother
Amen x2. Synchronicity regarding lifes traumas is what made me initially notice the Lord.
This is excellent advise for women, as well as men.
Thank you, father. I needed this. God bless.
You are very welcome
Father Moses, you have no idea how much I needed this right now. I had my first child in June 24’. My little boy❤. And I’m a union floor installer out of Chicago. I havnt worked in a year. No unemployment. And I feel the pressure of this world weighing on me tremendously. My fiancé works. So I’m basically a stay home dad for now. Bills are piling up, the waters are going over my neck. But when I see my beautiful precious son, I realize this is the greatest gift of all. I put my faith in God, Everyday is a gift and a blessing. And I am at peace. And the fact I came across this video now, it’s EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Thank you father Moses. Glory be to Christ ☦️
Also, I’m a recovering addict, Cocaine. I lost allot because of this stronghold. How you broke it down about us going to drugs to not feel the negative feelings of life, that’s all I ever did. I’m a father now. And this, this is the greatest gift. I never felt such strong passionate love for someone like this before. Now I understand how much God loves us. I had no idea
Union floor installer, but stay at home dad.... weight of the world but your fiance is out working in the world. Take on more responsibility and get a job for your sons sake. That will make you feel even better. More than this video ever can. "Figuring it out" and accepting responsibility is part of a man's never-ending journey.
I’m not stay at home out of choice. I’m pulling side jobs and doing moving jobs too for cash. But a steady union paying job, it’s super slow out here. Many guys in my local are laid off. Economy is trash right now for construction in Chicago. Nobody wants to build right now. But I’m just looking on the bright side with what I said. Trust me I’m out looking.
You are lucky. I am fine financially but never had kids. You cannot put a price on kids.
The timing of this video couldn't be such a coincidence. This is crazy. I see this video as a sign from God, God's way of encouraging me. Thank you.
A closed door being an answered prayer is such an important message. Thank you!
just want to thank you again Father for making these videos, unfortunately i grew up with no real male mentor/ present father figure. i’m 25 next february and i still don’t have any real male mentors/ friends i know personally to look upto. truely you are one of the only men i can learn from.
so please keep making these videos 🙏🏽
This video found me at the right time. Have been getting worn down by repeated disappointments over an extended period of time. Father Moses says everything necessary to be said in this video. Now I just have to try to actually remember to do any of it. Probably need to watch this daily for the next year
Been trying to be as strong as possible lately, had one of the most important people in my life ghost me. Been pushing and pushing. Hitting the boxing gym and attending church makes me feel peace
Father’s videos so Heavenly my screen glows 😭
Same
Clown
Same
Same I had my brightness so low and his video was still so bright I was so confused brother 😂😂😂
The best explanation of what Holy Fathers and so many said humble your self and drop your ego and trust your life to Lord
I’ve tasted life and I think I have food poisoning
😅
I had a slice of life and got an upset stomach.
Such a great song lyric
I developed a little bit of a irritable colon by tasting a little bit of life 😅
I'm very fortunate to have found you and your teachings
just before you posted I was in the middle of a prayer asking god if I am on the right path. and in your video you describe exactly my latest approaches to life. so I started crying and thanking god for the answer. I also want to take the time to thank you personally father. I've recently found your channel and I've went through all your videos and I really enjoyed all of them. I come from a troubled past where I served the wrong god/s but recently through faith and love I successfully turned my face to the one true god and I am on a continuous journey towards understanding and loving my god more and more. you are part of this journey as I lacked a healthy father figure while growing up and ended up listening to the wrong types of man. but discovering you and other healthy, good men, I managed to understand and learn what true masculinity is about. so god bless you father and thank you for all the information and love you spread. I trully wish you the best ❤
Îți doresc succes! Este calea pe care și eu o consider Adevărată! Dumnezeu să te ocrotească!
With all due respect this is the only thing I got from this message.
"My suffering makes God happy, He can help, but won't... Why would He?"
I apologize in advance, I am rather angry and depressed right now looking for a way to cope and this was it.
For your own growth. It’s like having a child, you don’t do everything for them, it cripples them in life. You enjoy seeing them struggle and hurt a bit because it teaches them that in the end everything will be okay, and they will learn how to find other ways, other resources. To never give up at no cost. (you are the child in this case)
Your not alone dude, this stuff all sounds good but I'm not 20 anymore and failure after failure after failure, being miserable, and them there is always some guy saying "It's just a little more."
What if it's nor ok in the end? What if there is no plan or meaning for your life? Just embrace losing your whole life so you can die?
Sounds good dude, but the argument is unfallisifiable. You can just make that same argument to a guy for 80yrs and then when he dies and your proven wrong, no big deal because he's dead and can't call you on it.
@@JDPacka I understand your point as well.
@@JDPacka I think you need a good foundation to understand his message in context. Understanding God's love and grace, salvation from sin, restoration to God's family, eternal life in God's kingdom without suffering - this is the context. In that context, failure is acceptable because ultimately, God has succeeded on our behalf. Suffering is endurable because there will be an end to it.
Thank you father! May Jesus Christ, have mercy on us all ☦️🙏
Thank you, Father. ☦️🙏🏻
I struggle with finishing my master thesis and I am quite insecure about my work. I was even thiking about quitting my studies and do sth MORE FUN like to become influencer or so... it's so hard to work on long term goals and abandoning short term pleasures. I will try to trust God more, and do my best and even if I would not make it, I will know that God says to me that is not right path. I will not give up. Thank you father Moses!
As a fellow Eastern Christian (Melkite Greek Catholic), this is one of the greatest videos I've ever seen for men.
I’m a Muslim but I find these videos beneficial. Praises to The Most High
Jesus
Muhammad had sex with a 9 year old
Maybe Jesus is calling to you. God bless you my friend.
Quran confirms the scriptures read the Bible and believe it or you are disobeying your quran

Thanks father! I'm 17, getting ready for adulthood, and I always have been like this, always cowering, being impatient, just being angry in general. Sometimes you just got to put one foot in front of the other, and don't think too deep about it; less thinking/ more doing. Thanks for the total dad advice!
I love what God has you doing and the wisdom He puts on you to give to us guys. Foundational Christian ethics for men that we dont hear hardly anywhere. Praise God! May He bless and keep you brother.
Thank you father, I found this video when I needed it the most.
For a long time I looked into various forms of philosophy (e.g., Stoicism, cynicism, Daoism, Buddhism) and practice (e.g., "frame," meditation, mindfulness) because I cannot bear experiencing feelings and thoughts that make me weak. I told myself that I should always be in top form; that everything must be done perfectly; that those who I hold dear should never express dissatisfaction; and that if for some reason I fail to do all three (and I fail quite often), I should by no means feel disappointed, depressed, sad, nauseated, or anxious.
I wished to rid myself of these emotions, not knowing that they constitute what we termed "being alive"; and that escape is not really an option (for it only delays the inevitable).
Thank you, Father, for making me realize what "getting a taste of life" truly means. I pray that blessings of the Triune God always be with you.
Another spot on full of true life and value add video. Thank you and God bless, Father Moses.
Thank you father Moses for the wonderful insight, what you said really struck a cord with me. "We would rather do the wrong thing than just simply wait and do nothing", I've been wondering during these recent times if the path I've chosen is the right one and got a more detached point of view for my recent actions. God bless ✝
Your troubles are part of the adventure, so try to enjoy them. I sometimes feel a strange nostalgia for the worst times of my life.
Great Message
Thank you for your guidance Father Moses. Having dealt with the loss of my father and more recently my first heartbreak, these are lessons I am trying hard to apply to myself and to my life
Wauuu taste of life,whot a video,thank you father,God Bless.Go further with good works.
Thank you, Father Moses! I really like your rugged intensity and your talking and message conveying style, and your videos are truly a blessing, I am really grateful for having stumbled upon your videos! Stay blessed and may you keep spreading light!
Thanks
Man these videos really come at the perfect time. Thank you father.
I truly believe hardship in life is what forms our character and makes us stronger I like how you mentioned drugs as a way to distract one from our problems. Heading life sober and clear minded truly overcomes the hardships and maturing.
And of course taking on the hardships with Christ on your side.
Thank you, Father. Your words are true wisdom.
Thank you Father Moses ❤️
Absolutely agree with you Father Moses. Thank you for the reminder
Thanks!
@@rehardin55 thanks!
Im currently tasting life without even knowing about it. I have been so depressed and careless with my life lately that i fell away from Christ. This video made me aware, im litteraly tasting life. You have openned my eyes Father, thank you ❤️
Fear, guilt, and shame are the tools of many in positions of influence
You and Fr. Josiah Trenham coming out with videos on this topic the exact day and day after i was fired is such a coincidence its both wonderful, terrifying and hilarious at the same time. Thank you Fr. Moses from another Moses.
Thank you, Father.
Maybe your best video ever for me at this point in my life.
Many thanks
I just needed this. Thank you and bless you Father.🇸🇮
Amen 🙏🙏🙏 all glory be to our lord Jesus Christ... I'm going through this right now...Lord give me strength
i lost my very well paid altough tiring job at the factory over a year ago, then I lost all my friends, then whenever I applied I'd make a great impression making them say im the perfect candidate on multiple occasions only to refuse me for some pitty reason or detail. then I lost my father was has been sick of cancer and thats been the last slap 2 months ago. i keep pushing it, im not starving im trying to help my mother and I pray daily. it will be alright eventually amen
You're coming out into a new existence, your best days are ahead of you, don't give up my Brotha.
Good luck my friend
@ well done. im getting better too, just got a new job in a better company after almost 2 years of unemployment, now with better future perspectives to grow in career and after God cleaned my friends circle I got in touch with other people more like me. The light slowly comes at the end of the tunnel 🙏🏼 Thanks to God only
God bless. Keep your head up, your a strong man.
Probably the best motivational video I have ever seen. Straight, clever and wise. Pure gold. Thanks father ❤
Father Moses, these videos have been so monumental at pointing me toward the heart of Christ and the plan God has laid before me as a man. Thank you for serving the Lord.
Thank you Father Moses, I needed this more than ever.
You realise the moment when you were hurting were the realest moments of your life not to romanticise the pain but it makes great songs and builds a better man
Thank you father, never heard wiser words than to embrace your emotions and the uncertainty.
Thank you Father. Very timely advice.
Thank you for opening my eyes and helping me see that I have tasted life. God bless you, Father.
I needed to hear this. I have been having anxiety for about a year. Came out of no where. Probably overwhelmed by life. Two kids under 3 years old. I just need to embrace the suck.
May God strengthen you!
Thank you Father. I needed to hear this. Praise God for you making it. It is an answer to prayer it seems.
Talking straight to my soul. Thank you Father.
so valuable as always. The Lord made you a blessing. Your message got ne right. Bless you, father.
Father thank you for this video, I’ve been anxious about getting a job I’ve been wanting. If I do or don’t God is still with us❤️
This is the best talk ive ever heard. I almost cried… man my perspectives are way out of balance. Keep these man focused talks coming! Thank you
Praise the lord, thank you father Moses for your wisdom 🤲
Thank you for these amazing words Father. Currently going through a very difficult time in my life as a new and young father and there are often times I catch myself missing the "easy" times of bachelor life where others did not count on me. You spoke exactly to my soul.
Powerful! this spoke me today. I have seen Gods love and the evidence of his works again and again as i have placed my trust and faith in him. Doors have closed but I have stayed true to his word and the rewards have been incredible. I will continue to trust in him completely. Thank you for your words!.
Even as a non-believer I find this video incredibly valuable. Very well said!
God bless you Father Moses!
Thank you Father Moses!
If you're seeing this, Jordan, Robert, Devon, Owen, Dino, Tyrene, Davis this is precious, happy you've watched this video
I hope you boys and everyone finds their right mentors such as this one
:)
So cool that there’s Christian’s actively disciplining each other and sharing resources like these videos
I want my friends to grow a relationship with God because they need his wisdom.
And I too I'm still building my relationship
Tyrene Sanderson I told you to look into the comments your my brother in christ, your my brother
@@xenshii9497 thank you bro really
God bless you, and all your viewers father Moses❤️
Thank you for this, I needed this today.
Father Moses! Your videos make us (at least me) want to smash gym PRs and life goals, marry and raise future saints, while at the same time go cry to God, pour our heart to Him, ask for forgiveness and for His help in everything! I pray for you and everyone who gets to see your videos, and for everyone who is struggling and longs for Christ. May we all see eachother at Heaven's gate, praying to the Mother of God and all the Saints to let us in. Amen. ☦️
praise brother
Thanks Fr.Moses. I really needed to hear this. You're doing such good work by making these available.
God bless you Father Moses.
Seeing your videos reminds me that our Lord Jesus Christ is always near me, no matter even if I got a little lost for a bit.
Hallelujah! ♥️🤙
Thank you father for your continued efforts with your channel. You have helped me continue to overcome addiction as well as given me tools for grief. I’m thankful God brought your videos into my view ❤❤🙏🙏
Amen we must live by faith
Thank you, father Moses.
May God bless and save you, Father Moses!
"Thank you for everything you've given me, and everything I've lost or not yet gained because I know there is a reason for it"
Father Moses thank you. This sermon was a serious reminder. I really appreciate it. God bless your ministry in Jesus name amen 🙏🙌
wow. God bless you father Moses. praise God
Im positive this message was made exclusively for me 🤣God Bless you and thank you!
In the name of the Father, The Son, and Holly Spirit. Amen!
Thank you Father Moses, beautifully said ❣
Your videos and wisdom have been speaking directly to me. They have helped me immensely in working through various struggles. Grateful for you and this channel, thank you.
Thank you, Fr. Moses. What a joy and help it is to be guided by God’s wisdom through your voice!
“To struggle is divine”
This is a beautiful speech that came at exactly the right time. I've felt all of this and learned it but it was so refreshing to hear someone speak and validate everything I have learned in silence
Closed doors are as much of a blessing as opened doors…… Wow.
💜✝️👊🏽
Excellent advice, I am a young man (22) and I started to get lots of doors shut on me. But as you said, this is also an answer, maybe I deserve more but as long as I dont put the effort or do the right things doors wont open. Until this year it frustrated me a lot but I learned that nobody owes me anything and things dont come for granted.
No is a better answer in many cases if you can understand and accept it.
