Reflecting On Reflection

Welcome, fellow adventurers, to the Masculine Journey Joyride Podcast. This is a brand-new show from the guys you know.

I'm talking, of course, about the Band of Brothers. My name is Keith, and I'm the producer for Masculine Journey and Masculine Journey After Hours. In this podcast, you will hear funny stories, exchanges, and thought-provoking moments that will amuse you, make you smile, and draw you closer to Jesus Christ in your journey of life. Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all? Famed is thy beauty, majesty, but hold, a lovely maid I see. Rags cannot hide her gentle grace. Alas, she is more fair than thee. A lash for her!

Reveal her name! Lips red as the rose, hair black as ebony, skin white as snow. The throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it. Another way to look at it is serious thought or consideration. These are the definitions of reflection, which is the topic for the Masculine Journey this week. How reflection is defined was left open for interpretation for the guys. But what about you, dear listeners?

Are you like the witch in Snow White, or perhaps you interpret reflection like this fine fellow? Now, Kelly, you've got to stay in school. It's important for your future. Now, look at me.

If I didn't have a high school diploma, I'd just be, uh, well, maybe I'm not a good example, but it does help other people, you know, lawyers, doctors, astronauts, everybody except me. Daddy? Give daddy a second here.

What happened to me? I'm not a stupid man. What about your life as a Christian? Do you reflect the traits of Jesus Christ? Are you tired of me asking you questions in this voice? Should we just get to the clip? Let's get to the clip. Jim gives us some things to reflect on in this week's clip.

The big thing I loved about your clip, Robby, was that it addresses such a common issue with believers. Strong believers think, well, God wants us to be healthy. Yes, he does. He wants to heal us all. Yes, he does.

And he will. But that clip points out beautifully that sometimes the best healing we can have is learning to have the strength that he gives us in our weaknesses. And, uh, it breaks my heart knowing that so many people do, as you put it, uh, okay, this is a test for God. You cure my cancer and I'll know you're there.

And if you don't, well, where are you? Why don't you love me enough to do that? Maybe he loves you enough not to do that. And just fill in the blank, you know, fix my marriage, you know, heal my kid, you know, whatever the thing is, we're constantly putting God to the test, you know, with that, whether we're intentionally doing it or not, you know, it's just, it's, it's, it seems to be where we go. Right. And so that's, that's kind of probably, I will say that's my favorite chosen clip that is, that is by far my favorite chosen clip. That was a good one.

I liked that. It made me made my puzzler puzzle just a little bit, which is saying a lot today. Is it sore yet? It was sore before it started, but yeah, it is.

It is sore just a little bit. So we got just a little under a minute. Jimmy, anything you want to add before we head out of the regular show and go into the after hours? Well, the love that we have for one another, the love we have for God is where we need to spend most of our reflective time. And that was something that, like I said, I really came back renewed, re-energized, and he wants us all to finish well, but he doesn't necessarily want us doing a bunch of stuff that we're doing for him and miss out on the relationship that he wants most of all for us. So if we're going to him, we're, as you pointed out in the Lord's prayer, that we're seeking his will and not our own. That's what we need to reflect on. And that's the place I'd like everybody to go, including myself. Jim, that was really good. Unfortunately, we still have another minute because I didn't do my time right. Any more you'd like to add, we can probably do that. So from the guys on Masculine Journey, I'm Keith, and we'll see you down the road. This is the Truth Network.
