What are you afraid of 😧? Whether we admit it or not, all of us are afraid of something. How you deal with that fear will determine if you live life as a coward or a conquerer.
I’m not a man but, I think this sermon is EXCELLENT in Christ Jesus. I will be sharing it with the men in my life; my husband, my son, & my son-in-law. May the LORD GOD bless, protect, heal, & prosper you & your family in Jesus mighty holy victorious name. AMEN & SHALOM
Me too. I,m a 54 year old woman from Liverpool England and this sermon was a blessing to me. My country is in such a state and I have a son and niece I worry so much about. Thankyou pastor Mark for this timely reminder that Jesus Christ is my protector and saviour, all things are possible through him. Amen 🙏✝️
Encouraging conflict is opposite of the bibles teachings. He is leading men astray from their true destiny and purpose. You and this false prophet couldn't be more wrong. These are words of the state, not the lord or the Bible. Please know the difference.
I cannot agree. Enticing or looking for conflict is not the message of Jesus or the Bible. The fear part is a message from the state. They are trying to get men back onto the Plantation, for usery. Men know the situation and game. Stand firm.
Amen brother!! And who we are in Him is so much greater than who we tought we were! I am discovering a whole new person, and i actually love that person!!
I’m a women and I needed this! The timing is all HIM. I was just sitting here sobbing that I’m still struggling with the things that were said to me growing up about who I am and a bit upset with GOD. Just being honest and this popped up on my RUclips. What an incredible message!! Praise GOD! 😭🙏🏼🙌🏼
I thank God every day for Mark Driscoll, his family and the church. I have come so far in my life because of his teaching. Im a single mom but these sermons help me understand men better and educate me for a godly relationship when the lord makes it so. God bless trinity church!!
I identify with the other women on this thread who have anxiety and fear and received a blessing from God by listening to this message. I have been so anxious and fearful lately. I have recently discovered that anxiety is a part of my life and I never knew it was anxiety! Strange. Thank you.
This is one of those talks that I need to listen to 7 or 8 more times because I hear something that resonates with me and my mind immediately thinks of a million things that causes me to miss some of the message...thinking of things like how I've failed; how I've hurt; what I need to do; what I should have done; who I've hurt; who I've let down, etc... because of fear, doubt, selfish pride and the cowardice not to do the right thing that God wants me to do.
Thank you, Pastor Mark, as a man and a devout Christian it’s always very difficult being told. I need to be a pacifist or Christ wouldn’t behave that way the truth is we are called to be protectors and righteous men. Sometimes that means action.
I'm not a man, raising 3. My oldest just went to the military in Sept.I listen to your teachings every morning before I homeschool my boys. Thank you for your teaching!! I'm disabled and waiting on a surgery to rebuild my spine and can't physically get to church
Don't care what haters say about Mark...I love his preaching and the wisdom his soul carries....I will stay tuned into Marks channel...66 year old grandma, separated from a man who is a reprobate and Mark gave me courage to walk away after 44 years.. cause he taught what love is and isn't..and what a good man is and isn't....
This resonates with me right now. I don't know whether to work on it or walk from it. I pray God grants me the grace to do whatever is His will, & to have your strength sister! 🙏
I really needed to hear this this week. I've been under spiritual attack since Sunday before I spoke to an evangelism group about witnessing and building relationships. Ever since Sunday I've been plagued by intense nightmares and bad thoughts. Thank You Lord that You are with me and help me turn from sin. Amen.
I just finished listening to men and their fears. I am a single parent with two young men, not only was I convicted but I am in tears. 100% true and one of the best sermons I have EVER heard. Pastor Marks realness and honesty is a blessing. God bless you and your family. Now trying to dry my eyes ❤
Thank you Mark and the Holy Spirit for bringing this to me this week. It is exactly what I needed as I head into a new season with my family. Call it weird, but it felt tailor made!
Thank you so much Pastor Mark,this is a message I needed to hear and I would like to say this is an answered prayer as I ask a friend to ask God to remind me WHO HE IS and the reminder is that HE IS MY FATHER. All the way from South Africa🇿🇦
This does come down to who do we trust. Do we trust in our own strength and ways ? “I wrestle with this” or as we should do!! Is trust in Him who made the Heavens and the Earth. I truly have to write it that way for all of us to see how silly we can be.!!!
The last two years of my life I have constantly heard preaching with Gideon as the focal point. I've hidden for so long because I didn't think I was worth anything because all the people in my life were absent. Physically, emotionally and spiritually. I took that all so personally. I applied those humans to my Father in Heaven. He must not want me either. But I knew every time I heard a sermon about Gideon that He was telling me to stop hiding because He IS my true Father. This sermon, although geared for men, contains so much of how I have felt. Although I have big challenges in front of me I know with all my heart and all my faith that He is with me every step of the way.
When I'm absolutely stressed I get get the stomach issues. My whole life I've been like that. When life was terrible and I was living for myself I was in a constant state of fear and pain and I'd be stuck on the toilet constantly. Since I gave it all to God a year and a half ago I've been feeling healthy and I haven't even thought about it until I heard it in this sermon and was reminded of how different life is now! Man God is good and really does change our lives
I have been fighting my own demons for years and was my own worst enemy, but I have managed to keep my family together because of faith. I have never paid much attention to pastors or really listened to sermons until now. Thank you for your wisdom, Pastor Mark Driscol.
this sermon is not just for men; I was/am a single mother of 2 girls and it was tuff not knowing when to be the mom or to be the dad, but your sermon was meant for some women as well; and I was not saved raising them, it was very hard. Wish I had been saved, but as a teacher once said, 'if wishes were horses, we all would ride". There are very few men that I will listen to, and when I do, I make sure their sermons are from the Bible, (preference kjv) Those girls are grown, married with kids, thank GOD. But I have listened to several of your sermons and I like what I hear because you don't sugarcoat. I grew up Pentecostal when they preached against sin, so when I was away from the church/backslidden I always knew that I was sinning--that never left me. "I will never leave you or forsake you" He doesn't leave us, we leave him. He will NEVER make us stay with Him. "Choose you this day whom you will serve..." the Holy Spirit is a gentleman, and will never make you do anything against your God-given will.
Haven't listened to this yet but I'll never forget when David Jeremiah said, God commands us over and over not to fear man and every time we do we need to repent because we are sinning against Him. Hit me hard and I had never thought about it this way before!
This was wonderful. Thank you for reminding me that The Lord is with me in all of my struggles. May the Father continue to bless you and your wider family in The Lord Jesus’ Mighty Name. ❤️🔥🕊️✝️
Thank you pastor mark for this talk one I didn’t know I needed to hear but did. You reminded me that I am not weak for being afraid and that the father is strong and good and he is with me. Thank you god bales
Thank you for this topic. I’m a mom of 3 adult men, and I just shared the message. I usually watch the guy’s message, and I can’t believe how much I get out of Pastor Mark’s messages geared towards men. I do feel men have more pressure on them to always be strong, and have all the answers. With God at the helm, He will steer you fellas in the right direction. ❤
I like your comment. But marks message and section about fear is from the state, not the Bible. Please encourage your boys to be aware of usery. For that is all that message is about. Trying to get men back onto the Plantation for usery. GDP and birth rates are in the gutter. Single mother homes have proven to the main cause of the country's demise. Please do not encourage your sons to get with or procreate with modern western women. It will not end well for them.
Pastor Mark, Thank you for this message. EVERYTHING, every point is where I am at currently. The Lord came to me, spoke through you and spoke to my heart. Thank the Lord I'm on a mower ,, in a cemetery crying to the Lord. Thank you for the real men series
Let me just say this as a woman over a half a century old… I find it EXTREMELY attractive when a man can be himself & be transparent about his feelings, what he’s going through, what his struggles are, and MOST OF ALL when he is transparent about his walk with the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY & what the LORD is speaking to him. I’m positive that I am not the only woman in the world that finds these attributes attractive in a man. GOD bless & protect you in Jesus name. Shalom
Thank you Jesus for sharing this with me. God, I'm your son and I am a mighty warrior. Thank you for letting me know that you will be on the journey with me. You rock!!!
True love conquers all fear ,when you have jesus christ and he is with you there is know fear only the truth ,God bless you all through jesus christ amen
Pastor Mark this sermon hit me in a lot of ways. I thank you for it. Please pray for my strength. I do feel alone sometimes and wonder and question my faith to the father.
I honestly don't feel fear over much anymore. I don't have worries either. I haven't in years, and it's been a process that's been years in the making. I'm 46 now and I've been on this path of discipleship since I turned 40 and over the last 5+ years, as I've made the Jesus the Lord of my life and over my life, He's just become my source for everything, and everything else is just a resource. I don't know when it happened exactly, but it did. Things just don't bother me on that level anymore. Yes, I care about things and I still have to deal with things that arise, but nothing ever touches me lie that UNLESS I'm out of alignment with God. That's actually one of the ways I know when I'm out of His will. I feel anxiety and fear and I, almost instinctively, go to God in prayer. That "Your will be done" moment Jesus had? That's kind of my default state after all of these years. I'm sure I'm capable of feeling those again, but my pain tolerance is so much higher than it's been. About the only thing that can make me nervous is walking up to a beautiful woman I've never met and saying hello lol.
I get exactly what you are saying. It is the" peace that passes all understanding". It takes a while to mature to this state. People tell me I am lying, because they have not reached this level of peace yet. Keep walking in that peace and praising the Lord. 😊
@@virginiabeaver2823 Yes. Some. People have told me I'm cold because conventional wisdom says I should be freaking out or stressed or worried or anxious, but I'm calm through it all. I have to tell them, yes, I absolutely care and the old me would be stressed, but I know nothing comes to me if it didn't first go through my Father's hands. I trust him, so I'm not worried about it. I'll pray about it, do what I need to, and that's that. Hardly anyone around me gets it. Dexter, why aren't you freaking out? Because I know where my help comes from. I'm never alone.
Lord You alone are awesome in power and have the victory. Please strengthen our hearts to endure persecution in a world that has been given up to its evil desires. Let me sing praises to your name despite my circumstances. I trust You and Your will be done in the power of the Holy Spirit.
As I listened to this,I realized,this is axectly what happened to me! I was so afraid I was going to get fired,that I resigned! My whole life has been driven by Fear! Even though I know what Paul said to Timothy that God did not give us a spirit of fear! Now I have no job,no plan,no direction!
This was great! I also have a son ned Gideon! And was freed from the "negative self talk" so true that any self talk in the second person is not your internal voice.
I'm a woman but I've been by myself most of my life and raised my child, almost by myself, with the help of The MOST HIGH 🙏 I've felt all this pain and trauma in my life. My whole 67 years of life 🙏 I love my Jesus Christ and he will take care of me. Thank you Father in advance for overseeing me for the rest of my life 🙏 God Bless All of you 🙏
Hey hey HEEEEEEEEY! COURAGE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT A COWARD! Even tho he was constantly terrified he always pressed into difficult situations for the betterment of others. Infact I think he is a prime example of over coming fear, as he says often. The things I do for love. And yeah, I'm defending a cartoon so what.
The Bible says that but only are adulterers and the sexually immoral go to hell, but also cowards. This sermon isn't just for men. It's for everyone! 🙏
Yeah... I need to listen to this one 7-8 more times. The men tend to reflect and ponder on this first while the women will jump up and down wanting all the men in their lives to watch and grow a pair. If any readers are not sure if you are a man.... insert thumbs in wasteband.... extend outward and check for any signs of manhood. Walking/living like a Godly man requires a spiritual "pair" and is a different story and manifested by our actions... the fruit of the spirit while following the instructions God gives us.... like correcting and admonishing with gentleness and love rather than just saying "you suck". (My flesh likes saying the latter and even likes typing "you suck".)
While a lot do, it seems in our society women are more likely to stand up in most areas even in watching men’s bible studies. We have attacked masculinity so much as a society, a lot of men have just quit trying. Praying that more and more of us start to rise to the occasion and become the men God needs and has called us to be.
What kept me up at night; 3 things; 1) career would never happen, 2) wife would be unable and or 3) unwilling to have sex. Then, all came true. Failure is definite for me. All my career, all the school, training, all wasted in failure as I have aged out.
Not to be rude, but are you teaching the word in the bible? It seems as though it is more of a motivation sermon. IT seems as though a lot of the teaching jump all over the bible and it is really hard to learn scripture when jumping back and fourth all over scripture. The motivation part is GREAT!! But how can we learn what the bible says to be a good Christian and what teachings we should learn and follow. Ive never read a book jumping from paragraphs from various chapters going back and forth and then be able to tell you what the book is about and still have a clear understanding. Believe me I am not trying to bash Paster. I am truly trying to get an understanding. God Bless
I like watching you ,but when you say your wife is complaining at you, I find that to be wrong. When you put out your feelings as a man, can I say you are complaining? A man needs to make her feel trust to be able to put her feelings out there in whatever is stressful, just as you as a man expects. What you said opens the door for men to think the same way, (her) it's complaining, and (men) it's feelings. I deal with this all the time with my husband. We both work, we both are responsible for the home equally, but he seems to think he should work and just come home. And if I at all tell him what I expect as two people being teammates, now I'm complaining? Any arguments or his complaining, it's his feelings. He counts, I don't. I give you this small piece of us to illustrate how the statement you make isn't great and if he doesn't want to feel like it's nagging or complaining, he should make better team mate choices and help, get off his phone and love me. Turn off the TV and talk to me. Help out with chores in the house without me having to come to him. Women are natural givers, and they are always thinking, of everyone and everything that has to get done. Men have a shut off switch and have to train themselves to try to out give her, so she feels happy, and content, and trusting. Leading as Jesus: servitude toward his wife so she feels the need to do the same.
Actually Driscoll is as usual completely wrong we need more not less fear, but it has to be the fear and trembling before a righteous and holy God and not the fear of men that brings a snare. And if he had that kind of godly fear he wouldn't be making the false and hypocritical judgments of the flesh against other peoples splinters in their eyes while not seeing the beam in his own. Paul was clear only when he is weak then can he be strong. Anyone who is preaching a doctrine of fleshly power and strength, ego inflation and self sufficiency is NOT teaching the faith and truth of Christ but is teaching a false doctrine that is the confidence in the flesh that is repudiated and rejected by all the apostles but especially by Paul. Who considered all those doctrines to be the taste not, touch not, handle not old covenant carnal commands to hold in check the sinful old Adam nature, which are no longer used, for the purpose of separating and cleansing the sinner, but that holiness and righteousness only comes by faith in the power of God working through the new life quickening transforming power of the holy spirit. This power is of God, by God, and for God and not for ones personal gain or glory, and especially not for the purpose of earning the respect and status among unholy ungodly high achieving profane men of the world.
You just described me 110%!! This message was for me. Thank you, Pastor Mark. You are & have been my online Pastor for at least 6 months. You are amazing, pastor. Thank you for sharing your wisdom & discernment.... God bless.

Encouraging conflict is opposite of the bibles teachings. He is leading men astray from their true destiny and purpose.

Abba Father please take away all fear and anxiety from me and everyone who watched this in Jesus name Amen
Amen amen 🙏

As I listened to this,I realized,this is axectly what happened to me! I was so afraid I was going to get fired,that I resigned! My whole life has been driven by Fear! Even though I know what Paul said to Timothy that God did not give us a spirit of fear! Now I have no job,no plan,no direction!
Definitely not a man, but I can’t get enough of Mark‘s sermons.
Great message that needs to be heard. Thanks.
This was great! I also have a son ned Gideon! And was freed from the "negative self talk" so true that any self talk in the second person is not your internal voice.
This was an epic sermon.
I'm a woman but I've been by myself most of my life and raised my child, almost by myself, with the help of The MOST HIGH 🙏 I've felt all this pain and trauma in my life. My whole 67 years of life 🙏 I love my Jesus Christ and he will take care of me. Thank you Father in advance for overseeing me for the rest of my life 🙏 God Bless All of you 🙏
This was an amazing talk, thank you I needed to hear this.
Loved it
God cover and guide and strengthen men of God!
This is good for women too because it can help us want to support & love our men more.
Thank you. ❤
Hey hey HEEEEEEEEY! COURAGE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT A COWARD! Even tho he was constantly terrified he always pressed into difficult situations for the betterment of others. Infact I think he is a prime example of over coming fear, as he says often. The things I do for love. And yeah, I'm defending a cartoon so what.
Thank you
Awesome 👌
The Bible says that but only are adulterers and the sexually immoral go to hell, but also cowards. This sermon isn't just for men. It's for everyone! 🙏
Not all fathers love their kids. My father has made that clear to me. So what do you do with that ?
Had to go into my history to watch this again. Anyone know why these videos are disappearing? It’s like they are up a few days then hidden
I get stressed that I might have upset someone by accident
Viewing the comments, I have to ask. Did any men watch this?
Watching right now 4:45
Yeah... I need to listen to this one 7-8 more times. The men tend to reflect and ponder on this first while the women will jump up and down wanting all the men in their lives to watch and grow a pair. If any readers are not sure if you are a man.... insert thumbs in wasteband.... extend outward and check for any signs of manhood. Walking/living like a Godly man requires a spiritual "pair" and is a different story and manifested by our actions... the fruit of the spirit while following the instructions God gives us.... like correcting and admonishing with gentleness and love rather than just saying "you suck". (My flesh likes saying the latter and even likes typing "you suck".)
While a lot do, it seems in our society women are more likely to stand up in most areas even in watching men’s bible studies. We have attacked masculinity so much as a society, a lot of men have just quit trying. Praying that more and more of us start to rise to the occasion and become the men God needs and has called us to be.
What kept me up at night; 3 things; 1) career would never happen, 2) wife would be unable and or 3) unwilling to have sex.
Then, all came true.
Failure is definite for me. All my career, all the school, training, all wasted in failure as I have aged out.
EYE OF THE TIGER 🐅
Not to be rude, but are you teaching the word in the bible? It seems as though it is more of a motivation sermon. IT seems as though a lot of the teaching jump all over the bible and it is really hard to learn scripture when jumping back and fourth all over scripture. The motivation part is GREAT!! But how can we learn what the bible says to be a good Christian and what teachings we should learn and follow. Ive never read a book jumping from paragraphs from various chapters going back and forth and then be able to tell you what the book is about and still have a clear understanding.
Believe me I am not trying to bash Paster. I am truly trying to get an understanding. God Bless
Awee, I love your Son😂
AA talks about the broken shoelace
3:20 Sermon starts
You did not put courage the cowardly dog in your thumbnail
Fear of the Lord
Please talk about gambling Amen 🙏
29:44 wow false prophecy
34:26
Nowadays dads arent around at all. Woman and the STATE prefer it that way. You cannot out alpha the state.
I like watching you ,but when you say your wife is complaining at you, I find that to be wrong. When you put out your feelings as a man, can I say you are complaining? A man needs to make her feel trust to be able to put her feelings out there in whatever is stressful, just as you as a man expects. What you said opens the door for men to think the same way, (her) it's complaining, and (men) it's feelings. I deal with this all the time with my husband. We both work, we both are responsible for the home equally, but he seems to think he should work and just come home. And if I at all tell him what I expect as two people being teammates, now I'm complaining? Any arguments or his complaining, it's his feelings. He counts, I don't. I give you this small piece of us to illustrate how the statement you make isn't great and if he doesn't want to feel like it's nagging or complaining, he should make better team mate choices and help, get off his phone and love me. Turn off the TV and talk to me. Help out with chores in the house without me having to come to him. Women are natural givers, and they are always thinking, of everyone and everything that has to get done. Men have a shut off switch and have to train themselves to try to out give her, so she feels happy, and content, and trusting. Leading as Jesus: servitude toward his wife so she feels the need to do the same.
Honestly you sound triggered and bitter.
Cowards become police officers it's true 😂
Actually Driscoll is as usual completely wrong we need more not less fear, but it has to be the fear and trembling before a righteous and holy God and not the fear of men that brings a snare. And if he had that kind of godly fear he wouldn't be making the false and hypocritical judgments of the flesh against other peoples splinters in their eyes while not seeing the beam in his own. Paul was clear only when he is weak then can he be strong. Anyone who is preaching a doctrine of fleshly power and strength, ego inflation and self sufficiency is NOT teaching the faith and truth of Christ but is teaching a false doctrine that is the confidence in the flesh that is repudiated and rejected by all the apostles but especially by Paul. Who considered all those doctrines to be the taste not, touch not, handle not old covenant carnal commands to hold in check the sinful old Adam nature, which are no longer used, for the purpose of separating and cleansing the sinner, but that holiness and righteousness only comes by faith in the power of God working through the new life quickening transforming power of the holy spirit. This power is of God, by God, and for God and not for ones personal gain or glory, and especially not for the purpose of earning the respect and status among unholy ungodly high achieving profane men of the world.
You just described me 110%!! This message was for me. Thank you, Pastor Mark. You are & have been my online Pastor for at least 6 months. You are amazing, pastor. Thank you for sharing your wisdom & discernment.... God bless.
