The Joy Ride #97

In Uganda, 40% of the people have to walk 30 minutes or more for clean water. Two-thirds of the world's population could face water shortages by 2025.

Do something today. Your gift could help install a Jesus well, providing water for an entire village for 25 years. Gospel for Asia has installed 30,000 of these wells, and they need your help to give life to thirsty people. Join Truth Network in supporting this cause. Go to truthnetwork.com or call 855-573-7351.

Let's bring the living water to the world. This is the Truth Network. 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. Hello, you've reached the Masculine Journey comments, complaints, and suggestion hotline, or the MJCCS for short. Yes, they make me say that every time.

How can I help you? Uh-huh. I see. So you want to complain about your husband?

You've asked him to clean the garage and he hasn't done it yet. Okay. What's your name, ma'am?

Mrs. Worthington. All right. Wait a minute. Did your husband call a few weeks back complaining about your cooking? Oh, okay. Well, see, the thing is, ma'am, like I told your husband, this hotline is for comments, complaints, or suggestions for the show. Oh, this is a complaint about the show. Okay. So what's the complaint?

And instead of cleaning out the garage, he's been listening to our podcast. Well, yeah. Okay.

That is a pickle. I'll give you that. Okay.

How about this solution? We'll tell our listeners to make sure to listen to our podcast before they have to do their chores. Okay. Hold on, man. Hold on, hold on. Mental note. Have people email in their complaints.

Because emails are much quieter. So what has God replaced in your life? You went through a painful decluttering, right? Or something you didn't want to let go of, only to find later on that he had something else in store for you that was so much better for you.

Right? Now, Danny, you spoke to that about literally your life, right? The way you were living your life. He stripped that whole part from you and onto a better place, I'm assuming. Your wife's listening, so you better answer.

Yeah, she's probably listening, so yeah. Well, fast forward a few years and we move into King up into this area. It was a whole other decluttering, because I had to let go of a ministry that I pretty much had a death grip on for a while, because I had identity tied up into it. It wasn't a bad thing, like Andy was talking about, you know, the roots and the fruit of it was there. But God said, let go. And we picked up and moved churches, moved houses, moved counties, moved dogs, everything. And, you know, so here we are, and it honestly, you can see the fruit of it all. I guess about the same time we lost the dealership, my wife was really, really hurt by the people in our church. When I had cancer and I went through my brain thing, all the different things that I went through, as my wife would tell you that, you know, I couldn't pass by a hospital without it somehow sucking me into it. Hospital views like cheers. So from the guys on Masculine Journey, I'm Keith, and we'll see you down the road.
