Ep 27 | Self Control

In this episode of Monday Morning Men, Josh and Thomas talk about the reality of self-discipline, why one moment of poor self-control can have massive consequences, and why the battle isn't ultimately about willpower. From food and social media to pornography, entertainment, schedules, drinking, and habitual sin, the guys unpack how a lack of self-control can slowly bleed into every area of life. But they also tackle the opposite problem: when discipline becomes control, and our desire to manage everything actually gets in the way of obedience to God. The answer isn't simply trying harder. Love precedes discipline. Our self-control has to flow from our love for Christ, dependence on Him, and a willingness to deny ourselves. Plus: why starting with ONE area is better than trying to overhaul your entire life overnight, how small wins build momentum, and why Christian community and accountability matter. 00:00 — Welcome to Monday Morning Men 01:09 — Why Self-Control Is So Hard 02:17 — One Bad Decision Can Change Everything 03:40 — Self-Control Is Everyone's Battle 04:32 — A Life Without Self-Control Comes Crashing Down 05:34 — Why Christian Community Matters 07:17 — Self-Control Comes From the Spirit 09:03 — Discipline vs. Control 12:42 — To Gain Self-Control, Give God Control 14:01 — Start With ONE Thing 15:23 — Love Precedes Discipline 17:32 — Build Momentum With Small Wins 20:43 — Stop Rewarding Yourself With Sin 23:21 — The Reward Is Bigger Than the Moment 24:53 — Bring It Into the Light #MondayMorningMen #SelfControl #SelfDiscipline #ChristianMen #ChristianLiving #BiblicalManhood #MensMinistry #Accountability #Discipleship
