The One Difference Between How God Sees Your Failure And How You See IT

Most men were never taught how to face the weight of life. They were just expected to carry it. When reality does not match the dream, when responsibilities pile up and there is no outlet, men do not break down. They reach for something. And whatever they reach for becomes their way of coping. Not because of a gene. Because of brokenness. Because no one taught them resilience. The drug is not the problem. It is the wrong solution to a real problem that was never dealt with. In this highlight from Episode 07 of No Man Left Behind, Pastor Josef, Chester, and Jeremiah go deep into why men numb themselves, where the tendency to reach for substances actually comes from, the difference between happiness and joy, and what it really takes to face your storms without running from them.
