I'm also assuming the urges will come back, of which I will deal with at the time, and keep my OYS posted. Very good. The key to abstinence is firstly controlling our eyes, secondly controlling our minds, and thirdly safeguarding our souls. Avert your eyes from temptations as you've been doing, from ads or women walking around at the beach. I don't mean don't see them at all, I mean stop staring or looking again and again at it. Control your thoughts by reasoning them out. When you have a though…

Age gap with ex being older by 4 years. Vague understanding of mission and how Gods plan fits into it. Recipe for success. There's no real notable events that I feel the need to discuss in the first 8 months of our relationship This is a bad thing because by about month 3 you should have tested her a bunch and determined if she was wife material. Any longer is a complete waste of time. Although to do this you would need to have a solid mission and frame. Even without these things being solidifie…

There are a couple moderately useful comments here. Firstly I need to say that nobody is grappling with anything that hasn't been grappled with before and nobody is facing a battle that cannot be won. Some people here seem to infer that lust is a lost cause. Pathetic. I'm also a bit surprised that the actual answer to this question hasn't been raised. Plenty of men in the past have simply given in to their desires at this point in their lives. As a result, what you'll find is that these men most…

I agree with a lot of what you've said here and appreciate the comment. Your point on entitlement in both 'high level' men and women is good however you've missed what I was saying with 'letting boys be boys and girls be girls'. The nature of a Biblical woman is the opposite to what entitled attractive women are, as it is for the Biblical man vs entitled man. I would also question what the research considers 'emotional compatibility' to be, where it comes from and what sustains it. I'd argue tha…

I don't (currently) have a need to grow career wise and I have some level of job security. So your career is plainly a source of income, you're not looking here for fulfilment or anything. Though you say it'd be better to work a bit harder at it because scripture. What if working harder at career was re-framed to being the very best you could be simply because its in your nature to do so. You've got some good goals here but don't fall for the trap of thinking: 'do this, do that'. The whole point…

I have issues with boredom at work Boredom with the nature of the work or boredom because of a lack of it? I started to more consistently lead a small group. Is this like a connect group from Church or something? If so, not a substitute for mission. I met a woman & we're engaged. Congrats. Now is a good time to get your stuff together. I've been choosing pleasures over pursuing God and it's consistency is beginning to disturb me. Backsliding and erosion happens slowly and step by step. Often sta…

What you're describing with the confidence and struggling with women is quite common - even rampant. Guys in their late 20s-early 30s killing it in all aspects of life except dating, confused as to why girls go after dudes who are just your average joe, or even worse etc.. as of late she's been passing by without saying a quick hello What do you mean? Do you say "hey", smile and she completely ignores you? But somehow I just don't get it with girls. How do you talk to women? The first and most i…

Men will fill their lives with stuff and remain empty. Even if there's nothing necessarily bad about the 'stuff'. The saying goes "If the enemy can't make you bad, he'll make you busy". You could certainly continue doing what you're doing, turn on autopilot and exist in a state of growing discontentment. A great number of our fathers lived like this throughout the previous decades. Provide, have family, attend Church, pay mortgage, watch football, eat, workout.. Through these things though they …

I know if my gf was going out in certain parts of the city I wouldn't let her go alone with her friends. But you can't be around her every time she leaves the house either, there will be times when you aren't there to protect her. I would also question what her friends did when that happened. Did they intervene or just watch? If this happened while you were there, you don't need to beat the guy up. Just force yourself between him and your girl and say 'she's taken'. Maintaining eye contact until…

Its not uncommon to have gone from oneitis to then reveling in plate spinning with all the validation dngaf gives you. As another commenter said however while its good to have made this change and had the experience, its time to reel it in. Here are a few reasons why: Your priorities are wrong and you are wasting your time (and theirs). You are pedestalling women without even knowing it. Your view and treatment of women dishonors God.

I saw that you got some good advice in your other post recently so I'll keep my comments brief. At night I’ve been falling asleep to basically involuntary thoughts of finding a woman that has a healthy sex drive and beginning a relationship with her.

If a man can be distracted by a random girl and is willing to destroy his marriag…

but having it as a requirement before offering help? I think it jump-starts the thought process a little bit. Thinking in terms of Godly mission and purpose instead of checking a bunch of social boxes: Job, house, wife, Church, sex, children - which we were all raised to idolize as the successful life. Even if someone says "Idk what my mission is" - that's perfectly fine. They just need to reference the concept and how it could possibly relate to them so we know where they're at. it looks almost…

I understand where you're coming from. I try to taper my approach with people depending on what I think they need. But on the internet its difficult to communicate without all the IRL nuances, which is where some of the offence comes from. However, this sub serves a very particular purpose and has a distinct culture separate from other online Christian communities. There are a lot of things going on subtextually that we use to gauge and measure people. One of those is of course S tests and frame…

To offer a slightly alternative view, we can often be too quick to 'next' women. It takes a little bit more effort to get people on your side than to simply remove them from your life (though often that is certainly necessary). Its an important thing to learn before marriage, as once that ring is on - you can't just dump your wife when they don't like doing Bible studies. Some perspective: there are guys here who if they spent a week with your gf, she would be in-line. I'm not saying stay with h…

Are we commanded to have kids? It is inferred in that genesis verse for couples but obviously not everyone ends up having children for various reasons. We as Christians are however commanded to bear fruit. Not just through physical offspring but spiritual. Abrahams descendants are those by faith, not genetically. This is a core thesis of the NT that Jews absolutely seethe at to this very day. Of course the danger is then taking this and going down the path of gnostic heresy as God of Orphans poi…

Probably a question more for askRPC. But it depends on the context. For example, have you finished having kids? If it’s more along the lines of you just don’t want kids, I wouldn’t simply because you might change your mind later on.

It’s like everything I do now doesn’t even matter because she looks at me and sees everything I did wrong. Tell me, in this situation is the solution: A) Try your hardest to perfectly meet what you think her needs are. Try to make her happy by correcting the things she points out to you and by placating to her every whim so as to not incur wrath. or B) STFU. Grow a pair of balls. Read sidebar. Lift weights.

There's wisdom behind what Prax just said. Its not that he's going to literally go over there and replace you, its that by spoon-feeding you the corrections (which wouldn't work anyway) it would be as if he's leading your family - not you. Real discipleship and teaching leads one to 'do the work' of learning themselves. Over and over again we see it happen here and IRL: Tell a man exactly what to do and it goes in 1 ear and out the other. He won't treat it with the respect it deserves because it…

Are there big fellowship groups at your university? There are also these big conferences that happen annually you could look into. But wherever you go, don't conceal the fact that the main motivation for you is looking for a wife. In my experience being upfront and transparent about these things will hold you in much better stead than: "Hey I'm just looking for fellowship"...Mate we all know what you're really here for haha.

This isn’t a journey of killing your emotions. It’s a journey of choosing certain actions in-spite of emotions. Look at it like courage. Courage isn’t the absence of fear but rather: action in the face of fear. Beta boy might have been utterly devastated by that girls comment.

“Should I be bothered by this?” It wasn’t a lie, all she said was what she experienced with you before. Oh well. It’s normal to feel angry when you’re somewhat disrespected, I get it. But as with any negative characterisation (true or false) by someone, the response internally should be indifference. You know who you are, what actions you take and what kind of man you want to become - any positive validation from others is just a small bonus. If someone thinks otherwise, oh well. The key to this…

Nuclear word and this should be in the sidebar. What struck me the most was: What you evangelize most is likely who/what you worship most.

All women have a vagina and they work the same way. You could find the most devout woman in the world, I don't care. If they spend a week with the right man, their views and actions will change very quickly. You can continue to believe that religion and a low sex drive is cockblocking you, but what's that going to do? What are you trying to achieve by proving this?

sex doesn’t seem to be a priority among devout Christian women. AWALT (all women are like that). All women love sex, even the most devout and holiest Christians - it just might be a bit harder to draw out. Sure, devout Christian women may view sex as a negative due to what we call in the west 'purity culture'. Something people got carried away with and used to view all of sex as a negative. In marriage, a lot of guys here found that even though sex was 'allowed', their wives were still hesitant …

And at the end of the day, if there’s a God, then he just watched my childhood without intervention, which makes him responsible especially when the caregiver is sincere in their faith. Is God responsible for the bad things people choose to do? Its a huge and valid question. Perhaps u/Praexology or someone else can comment on that. However, I really want to hone in on the point of your Father being "sincere in the faith". We're told to judge a teacher not by what they claim to believe but by the…

I don't want to pretend I totally understand you, but from a brief read through of your other comments/posts it sounds like you have a lot of past trauma. As such, if I were to give you strategies for dealing with your sexual urges they would be band-aid solutions at best. You need to address a lot of things internally.

I love that you are such a gentleman I can see why you feel this is a problematic statement, but why not have fun with it? “Yeah? Wait till you see me butt-naked”. “Oh stop it dimsix!

Whilst we all might enjoy discussions pity-parties about how terrible things are, the whole point of this sub is to get Christian men to shut up and take ownership of their lives. OYS aka 'Owning your sh*t/stuff/salvation' is where men really get this done. Its how we keep people on track and accountable to what's most important: mission for God.

No worries brother! Yes the sidebar has quite literally saved lives, it isn't infallible but has sure helped a lot of Christian men - myself included. Awesome, I think the key is really a schedule you can plan around - so you know the hours coming up and all that. That sounds like a pretty cool mission.

Cutting to get in shape is great, but considering that it is contributing to totally taxing you and taking you away from your mission - I would advise you to stop. Once you're energized properly I think a lot of the other things will get better on their own. Secondly, you've got to assert yourself at work and get better hours.

The cracks are deeply theological and started to appear a couple hundred years ago. Namely, female leadership and the rise of various liberal interpretations of scripture as well as Church doctrines. Vatican II has a lot to answer for in this regard. But even prior to that we saw declining male participation in the Church.

But of course it will take your heart away from God at times. Singleness for the sake of devotion to God is a greater calling than marriage for sure. But being single doesn't in and of itself guarantee wholehearted devotion to the Lord. It gives you more time to spend, but you still need to spend it. I think this is one reason most Christian men aren't called to singleness super long term, they'd just spend it on their pleasures. Which brings it back to your point (a great one) that until the da…

If they are testing me, then I have already failed to earn their respect. Nope. Everybody gets sh*t tested whether they like it or not. I've found myself testing women subconsciously, does that mean they failed to earn my attention?? No, I'm just prodding them to get a better and more honest glimpse of who they are. That is the essence of testing.

I made a vow in front of God to love her. What vow did she make? What's her faith like? That's why I mention the Bible verses. Did you vet her by bringing up those verses and explaining headship to her? If not, have you at any point in the past year? You could grind out 'self-improvement' for years and your wife will still perpetually fight you for leadership due to her sinful nature. So a better route would be dealing with her rebellion via the Holy Spirit. (Granted, perhaps not with a Bible st…

You need to go to the scriptures, point them out to your wife and tell her that it is her GODLY duty to respect you and submit to your headship.

I think being set free from sin means that the door of your jail-cell is opened.

It's meant to be a strategy and planning session for how we get the Gospel out to the world - which is how the war will be won. Amen. The challenge of discipleship puts the onus on us to become competent enough to guide someone from unbelief to a self-sustaining level of faith. This requires hours of continuous study on our part and many long conversations with more mature believers. Something we do not get by only rocking up to the weekly family-friends catch up and sing-a-long.

See my reply above. Most of the time there's a mental barrier similar to what I stated, or perhaps a past trauma. In many Christian cases there is also the subconscious mental barrier of "orgasm = bad" due to purity culture. After treating sex like the boogeyman for years, it's not surprising that many Christian women find it hard to orgasm.

Your situation might seem like this super unique thing, but it is incredibly common. So don't feel isolated. There's plenty of reasons why orgasm is hard to reach, I mentioned attraction earlier. But that goes both ways, girls who aren't attracted to their man are less likely to climax! But the most common reason is simply that during sex the mental barrier of: "I MUST orgasm" and/or "I MUST make her orgasm" - actually stops it from happening. (This is straight from 'no more mr nice guy' btw) So…

Are you attractive to him? Most guys get a lot out of seeing their girl orgasm, it is in itself is very validating. Therefore I think this issue runs a bit deeper. As Azul pointed out, you obviously need to tell him this is how you feel. But if he dodges, gives a weak answer or avoids the question - it's probably to do with attraction. Do you work out? Do you have a butt? How's your wardrobe? It could also be low libido or him just being purely oblivious to your needs. Either way you need to DES…

I heard someone say this but I can't remember who: "As a Christian you're either growing or backsliding."

Or "do you feel that you are growing in your faith?".

OYS 9 21 years old 6’4’’, 94kg, bodyfat: ~16% and BMI: 24.7 kg/m2 Challenging week motivation-wise. Struggled to wake up at a reasonable time for the first few days but have now woken up early 2 days in a row (for me right now it’s 8am). I am steadily putting on weight and noticing it on my abdomen. This is slightly alarming but I'll cut out all snacking, consistently exercise and hopefully that will sort it out.

u/coachdad8 has been dropping bombs lately. For as long as I could remember, I recognized issues with the lyrics of worship songs and how sexual they sounded! Exactly like u/Praexology said. Heck, South Park dedicated an entire episode to it! (Highly recommended btw) ​ Churches paint heaven as eternal singing in the choir. Cannot understate how big this is. When I asked what heaven would be like at age 14, I was told we would be worshipping God forever. Therefore we would be painfully standing u…

Find one already committed to being the best version of themselves, including the physical. It's unfortunate that pretty much all the secular girls I know are dedicated to keeping themselves in tip top shape, whereas for the Christian ones it's a small percentage.

Our culture and our people are simply too used to lives of ease and comfort. I think about this quite a bit, one conclusion is that we are the the fruit of 2 thousand years of Christian faithfulness. After Europe was converted to Christianity, things got a lot better in a relatively short amount of time.

"if" all that is meant by chasing of excellence, is a purpose for hard work and that purpose is the Lord then I agree. But I sense that there is a negative meaning behind it being used some times in the shere Satan will use anything, even Godly life philosophy for his evil work. So definitely, the pursuit of excellence/hard work as unto the Lord can get dragged away by the love of money and pride. Same with the pursuit of holiness being dragged away by spiritual pride.

Besides the RP posts on becoming a man, I believe, it’s more important to become a true Man of God and to know Him. These two things are not separate from each other, and this is exactly the type of thinking that has gotten me and so many other Christian men bogged down for years!!

A lot of Christians are misguided on this topic these days, and it's much to do with the same issue we talk a lot about on RPC. Christianity has become very toothless and just soft in general. We often walk on eggshells when it comes to controversial subjects or tough things like killing. The dominant religion of the US Military is Christianity, the same goes for the ADF and I'd safely guess most other western armies as well.

There's a difference between hiding any sign of imperfection and openly displaying our faults. And mistakes are a part of life, it's weaknesses that we should be careful about disclosing. You see, once you become a Christian you become a part of God’s providence, and He who began a good work will finish it. So you can repent and turn back to God on your own, or God will bring things about to cause you to do so. It is far better, and less painful, to make the choice before He does. But it's not e…

I truly believe that "when two or more gather in my name, I will be there" still applies to us meeting over zoom or facetime etc. In this age we are no longer bound by physical location, and of course the Holy Spirit was never bound by physical location to begin with.

Great thoughts here. The first thing I'd point out is that, God is not inhibited by any culture from performing His work. The culture in China is totally and brutally oppressive towards Christians, yet they have a flourishing underground Church.

In my opinion, Christian guys should go out to the clubs/pubs with their mates at least once every weekend or fortnight.

Unfortunately what you're talking about is a phenomena not exclusive to your Church. As other people already pointed out, this happens when women just aren't interested in guys.

She operates under a sort of covert contract but makes it known in a weird way. I'll have a chat to her similar to what u/Deep_Strength said. Youngest is 19 and is the troublesome one, the older ones are 23 and 25 but they're barely at home these days.

Its not just RP, but these forums tend to be vastly negative because they are the outlets in which men can vent everything that's on their ass. I think if you spent real time with most guys here, you'll find that their lives aren't actually as terrible as they make it out to be in their posts. At the end of the day its all a matter of perspective

I have to do a better job of communicating logistics. And two, my relationship can benefit from some more mystery. Outlook calendar (and all the others I'm sure) has the function where you can invite people to certain events via email. This way communicating logistics of major things isn't an issue, while at the same time I get to keep my private calendar - that has everything on it - away from prying eyes. If you already do this, no worries. Just spreading the good news of online calendars

285 1 rep is b i g man my wife had a meltdown Jesus Christ is the perfect leader, yet still people follow Him dragging their feet with dummy spits, screeching and complaining etc (I know I have!). So I'd just say don't get too hard on yourself, you're sick and you need to rest and reset. The longer a sickness lingers without real intervention, the more annoying it is and its also going to affect your body (and even mental health) negatively, sometimes long term as it tries to recover properly. S…

OYS 3 21 years old 6’4’’, 89kg (196lb), body fat: 12.1%. Dropped weight this week, I eat heaps but maybe not regularly enough? Not sure, but I feel explosive so idm. Lifted 2 times this week, plyo’s once Strained my hamstring during jump training and core doing a new workout so rested for a few days, 1st vs 2nd in basketball on Tuesday night and was a great game. Since I’ve always been a bit of a softie/scared of confrontation, I was surprised when I was fouled hard and I pushed the dude and tol…

I'm in a similar spot though not a fully fledged YL yet, but let me just say that wisdom is very important. Yes, the Western Church is feminine and not operating at the level or in the ways it should be. But it nonetheless carries out Gods work and God still moves through institutions and people who are imperfect (which is all of us). Try not to frame your endeavors as if you're "going to war with the establishment", this problem is nothing new - its just become more pronounced fairly recently a…

Thanks for the feedback and resources Chuck ​ You've got the same 24 hours in a day as I've got Yep, bit of a wake up call here - I've turned this around now with that plan and its crazy how much reading the word regularly does. ​ What are you trying to prove? I'm not sure if its normal but I'm very driven by the motivation to either 'beat someone' or show people what I'm capable of. Is this healthy or more leaning towards a Beta attitude?

OYS 2 Physical: 21 years old 6’4’’, 90kg (198lb), body fat: 12.1% Lifted 4 times this week and just started plyometrics Now that exams have finished, I’m putting together my meals and a proper gym schedule. The plyometrics is already improving my vert which is crazy (I can dunk with 2 hands). Beginner gains are really kicking in now, mid section is much more defined and my arms/shoulders are increasing. Mental/Emotional: Bible/Prayerful quiet time: Almost every day but I’ve really fudged them by…

Thanks for the response! Are you using a reading plan? Nope but will definitely give this one a go. ​ What do you think God wants you to do? Have you prayed about it? Yeah I've prayed about it and not really sure at this point. I have a summer internship with an NGO coming up so that should be a good indicator. I really feel a pull towards service, as in I'm just not thrilled with the idea of making buckets of cash and boom that's it that's life good on ya buddy. Would love to make a positive di…

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
