Betrayal Can’t Stop You—But Disobedience Can | Larger Than Logic Podcast

In this episode of the Larger Than Logic Podcast, we break down one of the most painful but liberating truths of the Christian walk: 👉 People are just people. Imperfect. Fearful. Self-preserving. And capable of betrayal. But God’s purpose is not fragile. Using 1 Samuel 23:7–13, we walk through the moment David saves Keilah from the Philistines—and...

Why You’ll Never Win the Fight Against Lust—And How to Finally Break Free Biblically | Larger Than Logic Podcast

Larger Than Logic Podcast

The war against lust is rarely loud—it’s fought silently, often in shame. Many believe lust is strictly sexual, but biblically, lust is any desire that drives you to move impulsively outside the will of God to satisfy your body. We think we’re supposed to fight lust… but Scripture reveals something different: 👉 You will never win the fight against your lust. You must flee from it. Your body craves what it lusts after the way hunger craves food. The more you try to fight it, the stronger it gets. Victory comes not through wrestling but by creating distance between...

When Opinions Become Idols: Why Seeking Validation Leads to Destruction | Larger Than Logic Podcast

Larger Than Logic Podcast

Many people chase approval, applause, and “likes,” mistaking popularity for purpose. But when validation replaces conviction, destruction always follows.

Many men of God aren’t lazy.

Many men of God aren’t unmotivated.

Many men of God aren’t directionless.

They’re intentional…

But they’re misaligned.

In this episode of Larger Than Logic Podcast, we unpack one of the most overlooked reasons Christian men feel stuck, stagnant, or frustrated: their identity, environment, and mission are pulling in different directions.

Your job expects one version of you.

Your family needs another version of you.

Your faith calls you to a higher version of you.

When these versions are not aligned under who God has called you to be, internal tension grows, clarity fades, and progress slows.

This episode is a wake-up call for men who:

Love God
Want to lead well
Are trying to be disciplined
Are working hard
Yet still feel like something is “off”

We talk about how misalignment creates stagnation, why good intentions aren’t enough, and how to begin building identity-based alignment that produces forward movement in every area of life.

If you’ve ever said:

“I feel stuck.”

“I know I’m capable of more.”

“I’m trying, but nothing’s moving.”

This conversation is for you.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE

Why being intentional does NOT automatically mean you’re aligned
Why trying to be “two people” in different environments drains momentum
How God-centered identity becomes your stabilizing force
How alignment clarifies decisions, priorities, and boundaries
Why progress only happens when forces move in ONE direction
How to recognize where your life is currently misaligned
Practical steps to begin realigning your identity, mission, and daily choices

CORE FRAMEWORK DISCUSSED

Identity -> Mission -> Decisions -> Direction

When identity is unclear, mission becomes blurry.

When mission is blurry, decisions become reactive.

When decisions are reactive, direction becomes chaotic.

Alignment restores order.

WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR

Christian men who feel pulled in multiple directions
Husbands and fathers trying to lead with consistency
Men balancing career, family, and faith
Entrepreneurs and builders who feel stalled
Men who want to grow spiritually and practically

KEY TAKEAWAY

You’re not broken.

You’re not lazy.

You’re not unintentional.

You’re likely misaligned.

And alignment is fixable.
