Diligence Over Discipline: A Biblical Blueprint for Modern Christian Men

In this episode, we take a deep, honest look at diligence from 2 Peter 1:1–11 and why it matters so much for modern Christian men. Instead of hyping discipline for discipline’s sake, we slow down and explore a more biblical, heart-driven approach: earnest, focused application to what God has put in front of you.
