| 8 | Where to go from here?There are way too many men out there who don't like their jobs and it makes them miserable. Welcome to life, buddy. Your first job isn't going to be your dream job. You need money. Do what it takes to get money, even if it's digging holes or working at Target. Sitting on your butt wishing you had a perfect job is a good way to stay broke. | /r/RPChristians | 14/02/21 12:45 AM |
| 3 | Money.Wealth (even modest wealth) is a snare that will change you in ways you never thought possible. Speaking from experience, the more you have the more you will want and the more painful it will be to give away. I'm not saying don't pursue it. You should absolutely make yourself as valuable as possible in the work world. If the opportunity for more wealth appears, take it. But if it doesn't, be content with what you've been given. And always be generous no matter your salary. If you aren't generous… | /r/RPChristians | 31/01/21 06:34 AM |

| 1 | OYS - Where Progress is Made (01/20/21)Reverse Pyramid Training. I linked the full guide, but here's a summary: Start heavy, do as many reps as possible, then drop 10% of the weight for the next set. Set progression should look like this: 1st set: 100% Weight - up to 8 reps 2nd set: 90% Weight - up to 10 reps 3rd set: 80% Weight - up to 12 reps If you can do the full set of reps, raise the weight next workout. If not, use the same weight next time, but try for one more rep. | /r/RPChristians | 27/01/21 03:58 PM |
| 2 | OYS - Where Progress is Made (01/13/21)For a long time I had a "lunch project" that I allowed myself to focus on for 30 minutes a day. The little amount each day adds up over time. Good call.

It's snacks and sugary stuff. Regular food is fairly easy to manage, but I lose control around snacks and empty calories. The hard part is not buying more snacks at the grocery store.

| 1 | OYS - Where Progress is Made (12/16/20)It's definitely worth the read. Goes into a lot of detail about how men relate to God and each other, and he spells out why the average American church is man repellent. It was especially eye-opening for me because he was basically describing my church: Soft soothing men in charge, 2/3 of the church staff are women, the elders have responsibility but no authority, the church's mission is child care, (that's not in our mission statement, but it's the only thing that gets done) the men's ministry … | /r/RPChristians | 20/12/20 06:08 PM |

Otherwise what will happen is you will get overwhelmed and end up not successfully changing any of them over the long term. That's what I'm doing. Figured I'd start with names and posture.

I.E. this girl realized she's 29 and she'd better grab what she can now before age hits her hard. You can see the desperation in her actions, she's undesirable and she knows it.

After correcting my form on Monday, I failed hard at 165 so I dropped back down to 145 this morning. Even that was hard.

Getting married is not a requirement for Christians, in fact Paul said it's better for a man not to marry so he can focus on serving God. Marriage is a huge commitment.

That makes sense because I had my first failure on OHP last Friday. Remember, your spirit needs to be fed too just like your body, and if you don't feed it the good food of God's Word then you will fill up on the junk food of the world. Thanks for the reminder.
