Episode 23: Obedience>Motivation

Send us Fan Mail

 Biggest Takeaway: God never told you to be motivated. Motivation is a feeling. Obedience is a calling. If you're waiting to feel ready, you're already behind.

Episode Overview: In this raw and vulnerable solo episode, Matthew Headden opens up about Memorial Day, honoring fallen brothers and sisters in arms, and why this hard day reminds him that we don't need motivation to obey—we need conviction.

You’ll hear:

• The real reason Matthew almost didn’t record this episode—and why he did anyway
• The difference between motivation and obedience (and why the Bible never calls for motivation)
• Romans 12:1, Gethsemane, and examples of biblical obedience that didn’t wait for feelings
• How your health impacts your marriage, your kids, your calling, and your legacy
• What we’re really saying when we hit snooze, stay up too late, or skip our workouts
• Two clear obedience-driven paths to help you steward your body starting today
• A bold call to men to step up, lead their families, and stop outsourcing health to their wives
