It's Weak to Show Weakness!

Why, for a man, is it weak when we show weakness? I see it all the time with the guys I talk to. They are so slow to open up and get to the issues that are plaguing them. They try to hide it and dance around it, and deny it; but it is all a lie! And it is burning inside of them.

We must be strong we are told when we are young. Stop crying! Hide those emotions! Big boys are tough! It's definitely not cool to not be strong. All this is learned at a very early age.

Enter into our lives isolation and loneliness, especially when we travel. This opens the door for porn, alcoholism, infidelity, gambling, over-eating and a bunch of other things.

What happens when we stop trying to hide all the hurt and pain we have stored up inside us? It is 1,000% liberating! To be able to unload for awhile and let our guard down. Trust me, there is nothing else like it! Find someone you trust, someone you REALLY trust, and start building a relationship. Take it slowly, and allow God to be with you. Slowly open up as you feel confident in the safety of the relationship.

Lets finally stop thinking that it is weak to show weakness. Being vulnerable is a sign of weakness for men. Opening up and talking about feelings and hurts and our past is a sign of weakness for men, so we are told. But what is viewing porn?what is cheating on our wives? What is carrying around 30 or 40 years of disappointment?

I am happy to be considered weak and be free of pain and bondage.

Despair

As I work with more and more men that travel and want to stay pure I am learning the despair they have. Some are starting to realize that they can not beat Satan alone. We need that 2nd person and we need Christ to successfully defend ourselves. Are you tired of being held in bondage of porn or infidelity or alcohol? Do you wish you could just tell someone that might actually understand and not judge you? I am available to help. Let's go into battle together.

Secret Sin

There is alot of secret sin going around, and it is especially prevalent among men who travel. Some examples of secret sins are drinking more than you normally would, eating more than you usually do, viewing internet porn, watching pornographic movies, infidelity, and gambling. The key word is secret....so secret that you may only do it when you travel. Satan tempts you, dangling it in front of you..."nobody will know" he says. WRONG. Christ knows. Christ knows your heart, you can't hide it. You cant close off sections of your heart and think He won't see whats in there. He is sitting next to you while you are in the process of your sin. He feels your guilt and shame once you are done. He wants to help you....He really, really wants to help you; but prayer alone is not enough. You can not fight Satan alone. You will lose 99 out of 100 times. Will you allow Traveling Man Ministry (TMM) to help you? We will come alongside you and fight this temptation with you! All it takes is a simple act of submission -- asking for help. Admitting you can't do it alone.
