The Joy Ride #80

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. Eight, seven, six, five, four... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on. Before you start singing your Auld Lang Syne's, don't say goodbye to 2021 just yet. We have one more joyride to take, the final ride of 2021, if you will.

Fellas, take it away. You know, very cool. It's sort of our tradition here at Masculine Journey this time of year to talk about the word for the year. And so we had gotten this idea actually from the Wild at Heart team.

They're in Colorado a number of years ago. They pray in the beginning of December, you know, that God would give them a word or some part of the adventure to go on together with him in the upcoming year. And so we all have been taking part in that for a number of years. And so this is our chance to review what happened with our words in 2021.

And so to give us sort of an example of that, Andy, how did that work for you over the years? So this is, I think, the fourth year that I've gotten the word, and it seems like every year. It's just, it ends up being spot on when you get the word at the beginning of the year. Sometimes you're like, hmm, I don't know about that, God.

But, you know, this year was, for me, I'll talk about it more in depth a little bit later, but it was really linked to kind of the word from the previous year. And I think we've all found that God does that. He usually keeps you in a vein or an idea. It's always good. And it's just, to me, it's participatory or it's what he's wanting to do in your life. And a lot of times we feel like, you know, it's our word, but it's really, it's our personal word, but it's our word in the sense that it's both ours and God's because he's always involved in the process. Man, oh, man, that could not be better said.

He really, really, really is. And so, Danny, for you, this was your first year to play with a rookie? Yeah, this was my rookie season. You can buy the rookie cards on masculinejourney.org. So for Masculine Journey, I'm Keith. Have a blessed and safe Happy New Year, and we'll see you down the road. This is the Truth Network.
