unchained: Breaking Free from Masculinitys Shackles

WEBVTT

00:00:13.150 --> 00:00:15.349
Brothers, picture this. You're riding down an

00:00:15.349 --> 00:00:17.350
endless stretch of highway, wind in your face,

00:00:17.510 --> 00:00:19.609
the rumble of your bike beneath you, and nothing

00:00:19.609 --> 00:00:21.670
but the rise in the head. That's freedom, right?

00:00:21.750 --> 00:00:24.089
But what if I told you that even on the open

00:00:24.089 --> 00:00:26.329
road, many of us are still riding with chains

00:00:26.329 --> 00:00:28.170
wrapped around our souls. Chains that we did

00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:30.109
not ask for. Chains that we did not see coming.

00:00:30.250 --> 00:00:32.570
Chains that hold us back from being the men that

00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:34.409
God created us to be. They're not made of steel.

00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:37.049
They're made of fear, regret, shame, anger, and

00:00:37.049 --> 00:00:39.490
the world's twisted idea of masculinity. Today,

00:00:39.549 --> 00:00:41.630
we're gonna be tearing apart those chains. By

00:00:41.630 --> 00:00:44.189
the time that we're done, then you'll know exactly

00:00:44.189 --> 00:00:46.159
what's holding you back. And more importantly,

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.539
how to break free and start living with faith

00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:50.579
and fortitude. So stick with me. This ride is

00:00:50.579 --> 00:00:52.600
about to get real. Alright fellas, listen up.

00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.399
If you are tired of the watered down sugar coated

00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.500
version of faith being shoved down your throat,

00:00:57.619 --> 00:00:59.359
then I've got a book that is going to hit you

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.520
right between the eyes. Men of Faith and Fortitude.

00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:05.900
Redefining Masculinity in Christ. This is not

00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:08.700
some feel good, self help nonsense. This is a

00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:11.200
battle plan for men who refuse to be tamed by

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.620
a weak and spineless culture. In these pages,

00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.060
I tear down the society has fed us about manhood

00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:19.819
and rebuild it on the unshakable foundation of

00:01:19.819 --> 00:01:22.040
faith, strength, and unyielding grit. You are

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.640
a warrior, not a doormat. You were made to lead,

00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.040
to protect, to stand firm in your faith, not

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.420
to be silenced or ashamed of who God created

00:01:29.420 --> 00:01:31.959
you to be. This book is about taking back what

00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.560
the world has tried to steal, your identity,

00:01:34.780 --> 00:01:37.319
your purpose, and your fire for God. If you are

00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:39.400
ready to stop playing nice with the enemy and

00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.840
start living with boldness and conviction, grab

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:53.439
your copy today. It is available at Welcome back

00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:55.480
to Renegades, Men of Faith and Fortitude, where

00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.939
we talk about what it really means to be a man,

00:01:59.019 --> 00:02:01.239
not by the world's standards, but by God's blueprint.

00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.400
I'm Reverend Joseph C. Gomez, but you can call

00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.040
me Preacher Joel. I'm an United States Marine

00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.019
Corps veteran, a preacher, and a biker. Today,

00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.659
we're going to be talking about the invisible

00:02:08.659 --> 00:02:10.919
chains that hold men down, and how we break them

00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:12.719
for good. You ever feel like you're carrying

00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:14.590
a weight? that you cannot see. Like the world

00:02:14.590 --> 00:02:17.150
expects you to be strong, stoic, and self -sufficient,

00:02:17.229 --> 00:02:19.810
but never vulnerable. Society tells us, real

00:02:19.810 --> 00:02:22.229
men don't cry. Real men provide, no matter what

00:02:22.229 --> 00:02:24.310
it costs. Real men never ask for help. That's

00:02:24.310 --> 00:02:26.409
a load of shit. Today, we're burning those lies

00:02:26.409 --> 00:02:28.310
to the ground. We're gonna dive into what the

00:02:28.310 --> 00:02:30.370
Bible says about masculinity. And by the end

00:02:30.370 --> 00:02:32.150
of this, you're gonna have the keys to break

00:02:32.150 --> 00:02:35.009
free from the world's false definitions and step

00:02:35.009 --> 00:02:36.889
into your God -given identity. Here's what's

00:02:36.889 --> 00:02:38.710
coming up. We'll crush the lie that emotions

00:02:38.710 --> 00:02:40.990
make you weak. We'll break the myth that you

00:02:40.990 --> 00:02:42.759
have to carry the world alone. and we're gonna

00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.520
destroy the trap of isolation. And stick around

00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.080
to the end because I am revealing the one truth

00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.939
that will help you live unchained from this day

00:02:50.939 --> 00:02:52.900
forward. But before we crack this wide open,

00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.500
I wanna hear from you. What is the heaviest chain

00:02:55.500 --> 00:02:57.819
that you're carrying right now? Is it fear, regret,

00:02:57.960 --> 00:02:59.719
guilt, feelings like you're not enough? I want

00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:01.439
you to drop a comment or shoot me a message.

00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.599
This is a brotherhood and no man rides alone,

00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:05.939
got it? So let's go ahead and ride into the storm,

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.240
shall we? Chain one, emotions are weakness. The

00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:11.379
world says man shouldn't show emotions, right?

00:03:11.530 --> 00:03:14.090
Let's talk about King David, a warrior, a leader,

00:03:14.210 --> 00:03:16.689
and a man after God's own heart. In Psalms 13,

00:03:16.689 --> 00:03:19.310
one and two, David cries out, how long will thou

00:03:19.310 --> 00:03:22.270
forget me, O Lord, forever? How long will thou

00:03:22.270 --> 00:03:24.949
hide thy face from me? See, David was not afraid

00:03:24.949 --> 00:03:27.330
of Phil. He wasn't weak, he was real. Strength

00:03:27.330 --> 00:03:29.669
is not pretending that you're okay when you're

00:03:29.669 --> 00:03:31.870
not. Real strength is admitting that you're struggling

00:03:31.870 --> 00:03:34.550
and learning and leaning on God to pull you through.

00:03:34.750 --> 00:03:37.009
You see, chain two, the pressure to be the rock,

00:03:37.129 --> 00:03:39.250
right? The world says men must provide at all

00:03:39.250 --> 00:03:42.409
times, at all costs. But Jesus himself said in

00:03:42.409 --> 00:03:45.409
Matthew 11, 28, come unto me all ye that labor

00:03:45.409 --> 00:03:47.349
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

00:03:47.490 --> 00:03:50.370
You were never meant to carry it all alone, folks.

00:03:50.469 --> 00:03:52.590
How about that third chain, the lie of isolation,

00:03:52.710 --> 00:03:54.650
the enemy's greatest weapon. Guess what it is,

00:03:54.729 --> 00:03:56.530
making you believe that you're alone. Proverbs

00:03:56.530 --> 00:04:00.069
27, 17 reminds us, iron sharpeneth iron, so a

00:04:00.069 --> 00:04:01.949
man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

00:04:02.030 --> 00:04:04.150
We need a brotherhood, lone wolves die, but a

00:04:04.150 --> 00:04:06.090
pack thrives. Good to go? Now, let's call this

00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:08.590
up. Emotions are not weakness. You're not meant

00:04:08.590 --> 00:04:11.259
to carry the world alone. You were never meant

00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:13.259
to write solo, folks. Now, right now, the full

00:04:13.259 --> 00:04:16.360
throttle moment. Here's the truth bomb. The man

00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.139
God made you to be is already inside you. The

00:04:19.139 --> 00:04:22.259
world's lies just buried him. It's time to break

00:04:22.259 --> 00:04:24.779
the chains and let him ride free. What's one

00:04:24.779 --> 00:04:26.860
chain that you're smashing today? Name it. Own

00:04:26.860 --> 00:04:28.639
it. Share it. Let's hold each other accountable.

00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:30.879
That's what brothers do. If today's message hit

00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.439
home, I want you to grab a copy of my book, Men

00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.759

in Christ. It's more than a book. It's a battle

00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.139

God. You can get it on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Gift a copy to a brother who needs it. Oh, and

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.139
by the way, if you got a men's group, church

00:04:46.139 --> 00:04:48.600
event, or biker rally, bring me out. I'll ride,

00:04:48.699 --> 00:04:50.519
I'll ride in and preach the unfiltered truth

00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.740
of faith and fortitude, no sugarcoating. Let's

00:04:52.740 --> 00:04:55.139
get your men fired up to live boldly for Christ.

00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.879
You not born to live in chains, you were made

00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:01.500
to ride free, bold, strong, and unashamed of

00:05:01.500 --> 00:05:03.439
who you are. Until next time, keep believing,

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.600
keep striving, and keep living a life full of

00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.800
faith and fortitude. Semper Fi, and God bless.

00:05:07.939 --> 00:05:11.199
Hoorah. Come on folks, hit the smash and smash

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:40.209
that like button. I used to run these streets

00:05:40.209 --> 00:05:43.209
with a heart of stone Whiskey in my veins, pistol

00:05:43.209 --> 00:05:46.709
tuck, ridin' alone Thought I had power, thought

00:05:46.709 --> 00:05:49.889
I was free Didn't realize I was chained to the

00:05:49.889 --> 00:05:53.009
beast Took hits, took shots, lost too many homies

00:05:53.009 --> 00:05:55.269
Raised in the war, learned to trust no one but

00:05:55.269 --> 00:05:57.850
the 40 But when I looked death right in the face

00:05:57.850 --> 00:06:00.230
I heard the voice of God say, this ain't your

00:06:00.230 --> 00:06:03.290
place He took my sins, burned them in the flame

00:06:03.290 --> 00:06:06.769
Now my past is gone, only Christ remains Outlaw

00:06:06.769 --> 00:06:15.850
for Christ, I ride with Come on folks it's time

00:06:15.850 --> 00:06:44.379
to press that like button. And then through hell
