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.

Welcome Joyriders. With this being the first episode of 2022, I think this episode should have some subtle humor and nuance, you know, you know, some quiet dignity in the way we. Sorry about that. It's a text. Oh, my boss. Okay.

It says no one wants subtle humor or nuance, just thought provoking moments, funny stories and exchanges. Okay. I mean, that's fine. I just thought I would try to, you know, do something. Another text.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Loud and clear. Okay, gotcha. All right. Well, fair enough.

Guys, take it away. The beginning of the year, asking God, you know, kind of where you feel like he would like to take you in your day by day, you know, visits with him. For me, I get a word for the year as I did the word engage in 2021 and wrote it in my prayer journal.

And every morning would begin like almost as a paradigm to think through what he's teaching me the scriptures. I'm looking at it that day as it would relate to the word engage. And that was the word that I had. And so after I'd been working on engage for an entire year, I just fell absolutely in love with the word. And I realized that God had been engaging me that originally I went into it thinking I was going to engage my family or I was going to engage this or that. And when I realized it was actually turned around and God had been engaging me all year in the memorizing of scripture and some things that happened, I was just beyond excited. And I was like, God, I don't know if I can turn loose of this word because I just have had such an amazing year.

I mean, how could I possibly have a better word than I had in 2021? And he said, well, I got one for you. And I said, what's that? Disengage. Break off, break off. Don't talk to me, Goose. Don't talk to me. Well played, Sam. So from the guys on Masculine Journey, I'm Keith, and we'll see you down the road.
