@SamaHoole No! I'm sticking to lifting weights in my air-conditioned gyms.

✝️ Galatians 5:16. By the grace of God, I have now become physically fit. I am now on a journey to becoming more spiritually fit to serve Him better.

20,000 steps a day is not a fat loss strategy. It's the 52nd best one.
The Strava-checking, ring-closing, three-walks-after-dinner brigade have convinced themselves the steps are doing the work.
The steps are doing the following:
- Stopping you sitting down for four extra hours
- Getting sunlight on your face
- Giving you time to think without a screen
- Keeping you out of the kitchen
- Adding nothing to muscle growth
- Subtracting nothing from it either
Walk because being upright outdoors is a baseline human requirement. The fat loss is a side effect of not being indoors eating crisps for those four hours.
Stop counting. Just go outside.

@MonicaMAlmaguer It does seem backwards. I would think if a man gave up everything for a woman, she would love him back even more because it showed how much he cared for her. It actually has an opposite effect. She doesn't appreciate it.
English
This marriage started "backwards". You entered into her world and followed her instead of her entering into yours. This was an expensive lesson. Maybe this post can save someone from making the same mistake.

@MonicaMAlmaguer I gave up everything for my wife. I gave up a business opportunity to move to Fl so she can be close to her family. I would have made millions if I stayed. Then her parents decided to move to another country. Then I was forced to stay in a job I did not like because of the $

@MonicaMAlmaguer @fantasticarg3 I'm curious wouldn't making it as easy as possible make her complacent? Women are bored with the same routine even if it is safe.

@fantasticarg3 A wife's primary job is to have a ton of sex with her husband. The husband's job is to do whatever he can to make that as easy as possible for her to do.

Having children is supposed to be an adjunct to your self identity, not a complete overtaking of it. They enter into your world. They are not supposed to overtake it completely. Men inherently understand this, but women view this as "abnormal".

We need to talk about the grief of losing your entire identity to motherhood while the man you married gets to keep his hobbies, his freedom, and his career completely uninterrupted.

@aerith_greene And then you have Nikki who can endure it, and also let Ronda use the "door to John Cena bedroom" line. Not all women are soft. Some can take it.

Good god, this is 100% proof women do not belong in wrestling
Soft crybaby clowns.
Men in the 90s and 2000s said far worse things at each other
Bret called HBK a homosexual
But Becky calling Charlotte plastic makes poor Charlotte cry like a bitch

@Pat_Stedman You mean something like getting to know the real her by making her drop her mask?

This is extremely insightful. Most guys in game only talk about #1 (self-amusement / not caring about outcomes), but #2 is a superpower.
If you can SEE a woman and move the conversation from superficialities to real connection, you will stand out dramatically from 90% of men.
nomadgeist@nomadgeist
In my experience the 2 categories most highly correlated with a guy being naturally attractive to women are: 1. A genuine self-amusement ability + not taking people or themselves too seriously 2. A comfort and general willingness to break the invisible 4th wall/personal space

If you marry a woman who thinks motherhood is a curse, remember she will always resent you for "making her" become one
These women have been programmed to be victims
Your likelihood of either getting divorced, being cheated on, or at min living through hell is virtually 100%

@TheK_Nox Could you recommend an alternative for back exercises? Asking for a timid friend.

@micheal_ws18 Personally I need more rest time in between sets too. Look it would be nice to be able to spend more time, but people have stuff to do. Better to just be more efficient with the time by doing full-body workouts.

@rob_bohanan I think he will go the way of Ricky Saints. Not terrible, but not over either.

@theB5_hive @pnadimi @CoachDanGo Can confirm the spike, but it drops the same duration as potatoes. Still would prefer potatoes.

@pnadimi @CoachDanGo Depends on the person. I monitor my blood sugar.Rice,all forms, will spike my blood sugar for hours regardless of how much protein I eat with it.However, I can have a medium sized yellow potato with 4-6 oz of protein and only see a gentle rise that's back to base in two hours.

@rob_bohanan No sir, but I didn't really watch Trick Williams' stuff either, yet he is very over and compelling.

@AwaitingChrist The context was that persecution was high at that time and it was a dangerous time for you to start a family. That's why it was better not to marry. But I believe God instills in you the desire to get married. That's my theory on low divorce rates among Christian couples.

"But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion." -Paul, 1 Corinthians 7:8-9.
Paul was unmarried and without children and he said that was better. What do you think?

@DirtyDomDom @LoganPaul Austin Theory has always been ripped though.
English
Logan Paul recently revealed his body transformation secret:
“100 pushups, 100 sit ups, 1 mile run… every single day + Prime shake” 💪
And honestly…
Looks like Logan Paul is sharing his secrets with tag team partner Austin Theory too. 👀
Because Theory’s transformation lately has been absolutely INSANE. 🔥

@GiffLasta @JVanMaren It's true. When you sin like this, it's hard for God to clean you up.

@JVanMaren Most Christian approaches to quitting porn are severely lacking.
We have tons of work to do here.

WHY CHRISTIAN MEN SUCK AT QUITTING PORN Five problems holding us back I quit porn 8 years ago after being stuck for 25. My mentor @MarkQueppet coached thousands of men—and noticed something strange: Non-Christians quit more easily than Christians. That shouldn’t be possible. The church has been warning about porn for decades. While the world was still spouting nonsense about it being healthy and normal, we were bringing serious tools to the fight: Faith in God, an unshakeable affirmation of human dignity, a clarion call to holiness, the wisdom of the Scriptures, a forgiving community willing to sacrifice to help others, and a commitment to redemption proved over and over in the lives of millions who’ve hit rock bottom with addictions like drugs and alcohol. Christians should be dominating porn recovery. We tried. Churches formed programs, accountability groups, and support networks. And yet, when the secular porn recovery movement finally took off in the 2010s (@YourBrainOnPorn, @NoFap), they leapfrogged us. One reason was the science. The non-religious guys knew they didn’t have all the answers, and so were open to discovering new things. Insights about the Coolidge effect, flatlines, triggers, dopamine, the cadence of cravings, Delta FosB, chaser effects, porn-induced ED, and the 90-day reboot were all hugely helpful. But Christian porn-recovery efforts are fast absorbing these insights. Our real issue is more insidious: We’re weak on masculinity. And for most Christian guys who struggle, porn is a masculinity problem. I say this as someone who tried everything the church offered for 25 years—Including 15 years of marriage. And then, when given the correct tools and framework, shot to freedom in 90 days. That won’t be the path for every man. But it reveals a massive blind spot. I truly believe revitalizing a Christian masculine ethos is the missing piece that will give many lifelong freedom from porn. Right now the secular recovery movements have big missing pieces too. If we fix this weakness, the power of the gospel can finally flow into a place where the world is in real pain. And men will change—bringing their wives, children, families, communities, and nations along with them. In this thread, I’ll look at five ways our unmasculine approach hamstrings efforts to quit porn. And I’ll show how correcting it isn’t a distraction from our faith, but rather a vital part of our Christian witness.
English
My extremely unpopular theory is that none of the current religious discourse can be understood without recognizing that the vast majority of people are regularly consuming pornography.
Digital porn is currently the invisible hand behind much of culture, and most people are “porn-brained” in the way they debate. For someone weaned on porn—and millions of young men were essentially digitally abused by the internet—terms like “submission” etc. mean something very different; for a generation of women who saw the question “What is a woman?” defined by Pornhub, suspicion about such terms (and the men shouting about them) is instinctive. As the father of daughters, I’d also say it is wise.
Churches are getting better at recognizing that ministries that help people get free from pornography are essential. But what most have not recognized yet is that former users also need to be deprogrammed from the stories pornography taught them, and reprogrammed with the Christian view of sex and intimacy. Somebody might not look at porn, but still be porn-brained. The story pornography tells is visceral and powerful.

This is shocking, but sadly, not as much as it ought to be. Orthobros engaged in revenge porn against an Orthodox woman who had the temerity to complain about Orthodox men and dating. We have a serious problem w/young men in the US Orthodox church. laurensouthern.substack.com/p/the-orthodox…

@chionerin The correct prayer is the same prayer that you made to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and after that receive the Holy Spirit. One that is sincere, faithful and repentance. Some people use a lot of words, some people like you don't. Sincerity matters more.
English
One of the things I struggle with is prayer.
What is a correct prayer? Why do others have such boisterous words? Am I just being repetitive? Should they be formal prayers?
I still pray but feel im lacking. I know Jesus is happy with me coming to him regardless of how I pray. I try to spend time with him everynight regardless and thats when I feel most at peace.
