He has a little bit of resistance in him. He only preaches on what the Holy Spirit asks him to. His wife asks him to speak on relationships all the time because she knows it’s a hot topic and people are curious but he hasn’t gotten the green light from God yet. He’s actually just preached on relationships oddly enough, God gave him a dream with the whole outline.

He thinks it would definitely be about pornography or masturbation. Andrew tries to steer people to people who are more qualified to talk about that sin because he never personally struggled with pornography. He didn’t grow up in a Christian home so his mom actually gave him pornography magazines when he was 13. Becuase there was no shame or guilt around it, when he realized that it went against what God wanted for him and was a sin he was about to let go of.

The discipline and consistency aspect. A lot of guys in their 20s lack discipline, consistency, and follow through. When it comes to spirituality he sees a HUNGER in this next generation, however they lack some practial confines in how to actually discipline it and use it. 

‍

Andrew is very intentional to sit down with guys and get lunch with them as God places it on his heart. Because of the lack of discipline, they don’t respond to text messages very quickly. So he has to be really patient.

The best teachers in life that Andrew has found are, rock bottoms, empty pockets, and broken hearts. One of those three are bound to come to force some reflection and change. You will continue to repeat that cycle over and over until you learn the lesson.

We need to be leading others and be lead. You can never be the top of the fountain. You have to constantly be seeking out accountability, mentorship, and growth. We all need to be around people who are going to challenge and sharpen us and pull the best out of us. There’s too much at stake for us to be lazy. 

‍

You have to understand the sovereignty of God and know that even his “no’s” have goodness written all over it. 

‍

There’s purpose in pain. There’s perspective in pain. 

‍

Hands down fighting an ostrich to the death. 

‍

Before you enter into a relationship make sure that you’re healed from your last one, healthy, and whole. Too many people arenn’t doing the proper work before getting into another relationship and it’s setting up the next relationship for failure. Get to the place where you’re okay being alone with just Jesus before you get into your next relationship. A man can’t take a man to a place he’s not willing to go or hasn’t been before. As a leader, as a man, the same is true with a woman. Make sure you’re being a man that deserves a Proverbs 31 woman.
