BetterMan Podcast

Sponsor: The Robert Lewis Podcast   What if the everyday temptations we face are causing us to stray further from the path of righteousness? When we discuss the allure of lustful thoughts and adultery, we aren't simply theorizing, but sharing real-life experiences. We share an encounter involving meeting Steve Ferrara's widow and the struggle faced when an attractive woman was present, underscoring the necessity of checking our thoughts and actions. We dissect the biblical perspective on adultery, emphasizing that it's more common than we think - with 25% of married men engaging in extramarital affairs.  We don't just stop at identifying the problem; we explore solutions, especially in how we perceive women. We stress the need for men to see women as God's daughters, and as someone's wife. We advocate for open discussions about these issues, because it's through these conversations that we can hold each other accountable.

This paradigm shift from marriage to cohabitation is influenced by several factors, including high housing costs, income issues, and society's growing acceptance of cohabitation. But is this really helpful in dating? We won't stop at just examining trends, we'll also dive into the repercussions of cohabitation. Uncover the delicate balance between physical and emotional capital in relationships and why the notion of platonic relationships is almost non-existent in cohabitation.

Follow the model of Jesus and gain access to His strength.  He has given us the discipline of withdrawing to recharge and quiet our hearts.   Hardly anything else reveals so well the fear and uncertainty among men as the length to which they will go to hide their true selves from each other and even from their own eyes. ~ A.W.
