Episode Summary: Today we begin a 6-week series entitled Understanding the Masculine Passions that Drive Us. In this series, we want to look at the good desires God created into the masculine heart, the way these desires have been corrupted, steering us in wrong ways to satisfy them, and how Christ can recover, renew, and restore those fallen desires into the godly man he wants you to be. This episode examines the power of a man’s need for approval.

For Further Prayerful Thought

What are the situations in your life where you are most tempted to want man’s approval instead of God’s?
How can you be more proactive thinking about how God wants you to be a blessing and light to the lost world around you?
What is it about Jesus that most captures your desire to be loyal to him?
