Train for Godliness: Why Discipline Builds Resolute Christian Men
Show: Warriors of Grace
Host: Dave Jenkins
Series: Men of Resolve
Key Scriptures: 1 Timothy 4:7–8; 1 Corinthians 9:24–27
Show Summary
In this episode of Warriors of Grace, Dave Jenkins continues the Men of Resolve series by addressing
a vital mark of biblical manhood: discipline. In a world that glorifies comfort, convenience, and ease, Scripture calls
Christian men to train for godliness—not drift into it.
Drawing from 1 Timothy 4:7–8 and 1 Corinthians 9:24–27, this episode explains why discipline is not legalism,
why training is different than merely trying, why structure strengthens men, and how to build habits that support
long-term spiritual stability and faithfulness.
