15: How to Live in Awe of God, Your Story Matters with author and sports psychologist Dr. David Cook

A simple way to stay in Awe of God is to remember the grace that He pours out on you every single day. No matter how old you are - God is not done with you! Your story of God's work in your life matters. If you are compelled to live a life in awe of God then you will follow behind Jesus Christ closely. Author and sports psychologist Dr. David Cook is on the Men Unplugged podcast with Jeff Jerina. There is a moment when you ask Jesus Christ to be the Lord of your life. That moment is when things radically change for good - you have salvation for ever and ever. Now Jesus has called you to live a better and more transformed way. Galatians 5:1 it’s for freedom that Jesus Christ came to set us free. Do things out of freedom you have in Christ in awe of God rather than out of obedience or as the drudgery to do something for God.

Jeff says to remember your personal testimony, your own personal salvation story of how Jesus Christ saved your life and to talk about that with others. To share your testimony and that will help you being in awe of God. Understand grace, it is a free gift. Ephesians 2:8-9. David shares his personal testimony of when he accepted Jesus Christ. Live in the power of the Holy Spirit in full of grace knowing Jesus Christ. David Cook shares a story of when God helped him see that sports psychology was a platform for planting seeds of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to others. David also talks about the worst moment of his career. His answer will surprise you. Dr. Cook talks about the best moment of his career. David talks about the sweet spot in golf. And how his birthday at age 60 and how God spoke to him on the golf driving range when God told him - He wasn’t done with him yet. Great words! Jeff agrees and talks about the sweet spot in the game of tennis.

Remember Jesus Christ’s number one mission was to seek and save those who are lost and by sacrificing His life for others He gave us an example to follow. Jesus was a servant leader.

To find your calling go to the Bible, ask the Lord to reveal it to you. Another place to start is to practice humility by asking your wife and kids how you can serve them.

Key points:

God's Word, prayer and the practice of humility are excellent starting points for Embracing the Call on Your LIfe.

You are creating a legacy no matter what you do. Will it be one that serves others or yourself.

Christ's number one mission to seek and save those who are lost. Luke 19:10

Don't let the sin of pride hold you back from your true calling.

Time reveals truth.

Know whose you are rather than what you do!
