Every Young Christian Should Watch This

Can God really use a young squab like me?

Not everyone God calls is going to look like Charlton Heston in the Ten Commandments. In fact, he’s pretty much the exception to his usual method.

It’s a self-doubt question so deeply rooted in our psychology that Paul had to rip up like an invasive weed out of Timothy’s heart… so the same question is probably rattling around in the heads and hearts of some of our readers.

Can God use me?

Am I disqualified because of my youth/inexperience/education (fill-in-the-blank).

You could have stopped at the first question, because even MOSES wrestled with self-doubts and he was, well, he was flippin’ MOSES.

Here’s the 3 minute pep-talk you should cue up every time the Adversary starts flinging those darts of accusation your way.


And if you’re looking for the book being held up at the end there, the one from which this clip was taken?

You can get a whole lot more than just this 3 minute pep talk by grabbing the book:

Lionhearted: Making Young Christian Males Rowdy Biblical Men

The Description:

Dear young Christian male, this book you’re about to listen to is meant to challenge you to your very core. Its intent is not to make you feel warm and fuzzy. Some of the chapters will upset you greatly, especially if you’re a dandy that was raised with kid gloves by a helicopter mommy.

That said, in addition to the holy introspection contained herein, this book will also shoot adrenaline into your soul. It’ll push you to be a Godly risk taker and earth shaker. A veritable Rebel with a Cause just like the captain of our salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you want a feelgood book that tickles your ears and morphs you into a little Christian popinjay, this tome ain’t for you. You should put this audiobook down and walk away from it immediately. However, if, young man, if…your motto is to give God your utmost for his highest, and you wanna live a life worthy of Christ’s death, then this book will be grist for your mill.
