🎙 Top 10 Obstacles to Change (Part 1): Why You’re Still Stuck & What to Do About It
🎧 Episode Summary:
Change is hard — especially when you’ve tried and failed so many times before. In this 2-part series, we’re unpacking the 10 biggest reasons Christian men stay stuck, and what to do about it.
In Part 1, we dive into the first five obstacles that keep you from becoming the man God meant you to be — and the practical, biblical ways to start turning things around right now. We start with a quick story called “The Flat Tire” — because that’s how a lot of men live. You hit one setback and instead of adjusting, you abandon the whole thing.
You don’t need more hype. You need a better mindset and a stronger system. This episode is all about building that.
🔥 What You’ll Learn Today:
Obstacle by obstacle, Scripture by Scripture, example by example — here’s what we cover:
Trying to Do Too Much Too Fast → Zechariah 4:10
– Start super small. Lower the bar and build consistency.
You Don’t Know What You Really Want → Proverbs 4:23
– Get clear on your deeper WHY. What are you really after?
Relying on Willpower Alone → Matthew 26:41
– Don’t white-knuckle it. Build structure you can lean on.
You’re Not Making the Habit Obvious & Easy → Hebrews 12:1
– Use After Stacking. Make it automatic and hard to forget.
You’re Not Celebrating the Wins → 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18
– Small wins need small celebrations. Rejoice, even in progress.
⚡️ Next Week: We’ll dive into Obstacles 6–10 — five more reasons you might still be stuck and how to build habits that actually last. Don’t miss it in Episode #129.
You’re not broken beyond repair. You’re valuable to God and invited into real change. You don’t need hype — you need the right tools, the right truth, and a better way forward. Start small. Start now.
