In all of my coaching, I've come to realize that the thing most men are missing is not a thing at all. It's a person. Men who are trying to become the men they were created to be, but who feel lost and alone in the process would do well to find an older man to come along and put his arm around you and tell you, "you’re not alone," Now, if after reading all of that you realize you need an older man to come along and put his arm around me and say, " you’re not alone," then I highly encourage you to not waste anytime; get your phone out right now and invite that man out to a cup of coffee. But, if you are like me, and you didn't have someone in your life that could do that for you, then I would be honored to invite you on a completely free coaching call with me.

On this episode, you will hear Ray De La Nuez be interviewed by author, speaker and host of the Becoming Kings Podcast, Johnny King. Here's the description from Johnny King himself: What is one thing you hold onto every day? If all else fails, what can you cling to that serves as your beacon to follow? Many of us call this our “why.” With the shifting paradigm of masculinity, men need direction and something valuable they can uphold on a daily basis. ⁣ ⁣ This week’s guest, Ray De La Nuez, @raydelanuez calls this “Commander’s Intent.” An active duty Marine Corps Officer, Ray has spent over a decade assessing combat situations on the ground helping his fellow marines understand Commander’s Intent. His guiding principle? At the end of the day, what absolutely needs to happen and how can that be achieved? Through his lived experience, he has identified Commander’s Intent as the first step to establishing the ground rules for a mission, your life, or any other situation that may occur. ⁣ ⁣ All of this wasn’t so clear for Ray. Despite having a successful marriage, career, and family life, Ray still couldn’t grapple with his complicated relationship with his father and childhood. An immigrant from the Dominican Republic, Ray was left searching for answers as to why he still felt unfulfilled. It was only when he identified his own Commander’s Intent that he began to feel more confident and able to move forward. ⁣ ⁣ On this episode of Becoming Kings, we explore how Ray’s experiences in the Marine Corps have shaped who he is today, how grit plays a role in every part of our lives, and how we can all identify our “why.”⁣ Schedule your FREE 1:1 Coaching Call HERE! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingmen/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingmen/support

Earlier this year you made a promise to yourself. Maybe it was a half-ass promise, but you made it nonetheless. You told yourself you would do something different this year. Remembering yet? You committed to building healthy habits and breaking destructive old ones. You said 2021 was going to be your year. But something happened, didn't it? Let me ask you this: Are you proud of who you've become so far? Or, after these last 10 months (yes, it's been that long) do you find yourself defeated in your efforts to change? Listen bro, foolishness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. If you find yourself dissatisfied with the lack of change in your life then it's time to do something different. Notice I didn't ask you anything about your specific goal to run more, read more, workout more, drink less, curse less etc. I asked you a more important question. Who are you becoming? We are human beings, not human doings. You're not a machine that can be programed and left to do it's task. Your a thinking, breathing, emotional, irrational and at sometimes rational human (I said that correctly). If you truly want to see change in your life this year then you need to focus on becoming the type of man that can accomplish the things you want to achieve. A lazy man doesn't wake up one day and say he's going to run 3 times a week, but a runner does. An undisciplined man doesn't read 12 books a year, but a reader does. If you want to live the life that you've envisioned for yourself this year then you have to be more intentional about who you are becoming TODAY. It just so happens that the best way to do that is to bring others to come alongside of you. So let's bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be by the end of 2021.

Here's the # 1 tip for guys striving to become more confident & disciplined 👇⁣ ⁣ I'll get straight to the point since I know you clicked the "More" button because this matters to you.⁣ ⁣ First, DISCLAIMER: ⁣ ⁣ Results will vary in direct proportion to the level of YOUR desire to stop feeling like you're an inadequate and unreliable man. ⁣ Okay, now that we got that out of the way, I want to tell you this simple principle that I've applied in my own life over the last decade, & that military Generals have attested to intentionally applying in their lives.⁣ ⁣ You ready?⁣ ⁣ In order to become a more confident and disciplined person, & to be known by others as someone who is self-reliant and dependable you MUST surround yourself with the people who CHALLENGE you to be better.⁣ ⁣ Sounds simple enough, right?⁣ ⁣ Then why aren't all men doing it? And you might say, "well, I am!"⁣ ⁣ But bro, are you really? Are you really being purposeful about surrounding yourself with people BECAUSE they challenge you? ⁣ ⁣ Or, are you stuck in the default mode of surrounding yourself with people just like you?⁣ ⁣ Because if you are going to tell me that you have been surrounding yourself with people who are truly challenging you, but you're still dealing with feelings of incompetence & inadequacy, then I am forced to question the intentionality of those relationships or the integrity of those people. ⁣ I'm also forced to remind you of that old adage that says "you become like the people you surround yourself with.⁣" ⁣ Right about now you should be asking yourself, "who in my phone book can I actually count on being there to sharpen me?" (You may not have used those exact words, but it's all the same)⁣ ⁣ Bro, for the sake of your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health, I sincerely pray that you have at least ONE person that you can reach out to right now.⁣ ⁣ But in case you don't, I would hate to leave you so exposed without also offering an opportunity to connect with a genuine community of like-minded Christian men. We meet virtually to help forge, sharpen and shape each other into the image of the men God intended them to be.⁣ Learn more at TheBecomingMen.com --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingmen/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingmen/support

This is a debrief of episode 041 with Ken Williams. In that episode, I sat down with Ken Williams to talk about his masculine journey as he overcame homosexuality and porn addiction. In our conversation, Ken talks openly about how he struggled for decades with the shame and confusion of same-sex attraction. He describes his fight against depression and suicide before finally seeking help and getting on a path where he would eventually encounter God and His transformative power. Today, he consults with those who struggle with sexual brokenness and help them journey with God to find wholeness & freedom.

Becoming Men is a community of guys like you becoming the men who God created them to be.  This non-profit sprung from conversations with men from all walks of life as they described their greatest struggles. I noticed a pattern evolve as I heard things like, "I just want to become a better man" and "I really want to become the father my kids need me to be." I heard the same longings to become better men in areas of faith, finance, health and business.  Honestly, I was just grateful that I wasn't alone! I felt hopeful knowing that I wasn't the only one that felt like I had a ways to go. We are all on a journey of becoming. The problem is that without direction we usually end up becoming someone who we don't want to be. That's why Becoming Men is carving out a road map for the masculine journey. We do not offer exact directions because no two journeys are ever the same. We simply want to show you which paths have worked for us and which ones haven't. We want to encourage and empower you on your journey of becoming. The Becoming Men Podcast is your go-to guide for that journey! Get to know me personally at @raydelanuez. HEY!

Is it safe to say that the first thing you did after waking up this morning was to check your phone? Let's just be honest here; we are on our phones much more than we would like to admit!

Here's a recent Man Myth I put out on our Instagram:  "You can look as long as you don't touch." This is what I grew up believing. This is what many of us have been taught. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but someone needs to hear it🤦🏽‍♂️: I had the worst wandering eyes👀. So much so that while on one of my first dates with my current wife, I was caught checking out the waitress. Of course, I denied it!👌 But apparently I didn't even try to hide it. And how could I? I was a young 20-year-old dude in the Marine Corps. I was stationed ON THE BEACH in beautiful Southern California. Plus, every man I ever looked up to told me that I was supposed to check women out. The Truth About This Man-Myth Even looking at a woman with wrong intentions is a barrier to intimacy between us and God. We can't afford to sell out to cheap misrepresentations of the masculine heart. We have been ushered into a heart-to-heart relationship with the Father! It is from that place that we learn our identities as co-heirs with Christ (see Romans 8:17). This is why there is so much emphasis on the INTENT of our hearts.

This week's Q&Ray is devoted to answering a really good question I received via my Instagram story. Here's what it said: How do you build relationships with people you just meet without sharing stuff before you're ready? This is an excellent question that I have had to answer for myself more than 10 times in the last 9 years of being in the military. Constantly moving from one side of the U.S. to the other will do that. In this episode, I break down how critical it is to identify potential relationships and be purposeful about building that friendship with the marble jar analogy. What!? Tune in and see what I mean.  Remember that you can submit your own questions to be featured on a future podcast episode.  SHOW LINKS: SUBMIT questions for Q&Ray FOLLOW me on Instagram REVIEW our podcast HERE SUBSCRIBE to YouTube  SIGN UP for our Email HERE  BECOME an awesome Patron  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingmen/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingmen/support

"Like most of the young men I know, I want to be self-sufficient. I want to struggle for my own direction and step out in pursuit of my dreams. I want to know it all and never ask for help. This is how most of the guys I know approach young manhood— on their own, never asking for help, wandering through these years, and pretending they are doing better than they really are" (Killing Lions). If any of that resonates with any of you then you have to tune in to this week's episode. where I sit down with Sam Eldredge and Blaine Eldredge.

Think about it. When you are in a tough situation, when you are tense, when you are stressed, and when pressure is heavily applied in your life; do you react to the situation, or do you respond to it. I got a call the other day that turned into an awesome conversation about what it means to actively respond versus passively react to situations. I wanted to share some of the thoughts from that conversation here and challenge you to look inwardly. Enjoy!

At times, it's as if I don't even let God finish speaking before i'm out making plans.  In this episode, I sit down with Mike Sehon and discuss the importance of seeking God's timing when He calls us to step out in faith. Mike and his family served as missionaries to Peru for over a decade and offers great insight about gathering men around us in the process of stewarding God's calling.

Us men get all too comfortable with the convenience of not getting to the root of our issues. We walk around life dismissing the check engine light. We turn up worship music to ignore the loud gongs and clanks. Then we show back up to church hoping to top-off the fluid levels that always seem to be empty. God is more concerned with what's going on inside of you than with your appearances. He doesn't care about you looking good or sounding holy. He doesn't care about you having it all together or saying the Christian thing. God is after your heart! Jesus has come so that your heart would be enlightened. Jesus paid the high price so that you would have a heart to heart relationship with the Most High! It is up to you to decide whether you will present yourself in a manner worthy of Jesus. Only you decide how you will take care of the things under the hood. If you want to see Jesus move in and through your life, I dare you to take a peak underneath the hood of the things that are overwhelming you. I double dare you to invite Holy Spirit to show you what's going on under there. And I triple dare you to get alone with Jesus and ask Him to reveal himself to you in that area.  ▶ SHOW LINKS: BECOME an awesome Patron  FOLLOW on Instagram SUBMIT questions for Q&Ray SUBSCRIBE to YouTube  SIGN UP for our Email HERE  REVIEW our podcast via iTunes HERE Continue to march! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingmen/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingmen/support

 Have you ever felt overwhelmed by thoughts and temptations that you knew you didn't want to think about? Then, after feeling defeated, you began to question what you are doing wrong. I'm very aware and very familiar of this cycle. I too went through a season when I was frustrated at the amount of temptations that came from seemingly every angle of life. It felt as if my 'old man' never left and I began to reason; “Maybe I'm doing this wrong!”   I  questioned why I was being tempted and believed that I simply wasn't focusing on God enough. Even worse, I began to equate temptation with sin. I believed that anytime a thought came to my mind or that I was tempted in some way; It was me. I was sinning. I was no good. I was rotten.   If you can relate to that, I want to tell you, that is so far from the truth.  Speaking of Jesus, the apostle Paul says that He, has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.           -Hebrews 4:15  That means that you can be tempted and still not sin. It doesn't mean you’re not good enough. It doesn't mean you are not saved. It doesn't mean that you are far away from God.   On the contrary, the fact that you are being tempted in a certain area is probably because you are walking into a Promise Land. A land that may have been occupied by the enemy before. A land that he may have been wreaking havoc in before, but here you are, showing up with God by your side. He knows that you are an overcomer. Now the only thing he can do is shoot some flaming arrows at you.  Here's what the word says. Ephesians 6:16 says “Take up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish the flaming arrows from the evil one.”     So check this out, I don't want you to miss this. Pay attention: If a flaming arrow passes your shield of faith it doesn't stop there. You see because the next verse, Ephesians 6:17 says that you should “Take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Now, the word sword in the Greek isn’t actually a sword that you would take up and use both hands with. No, it is the word for “dagger”. It is the type of dagger that the Roman soldiers would carry on them to be able to dig out any arrows that would pierce their armor. What God is actually saying here is that if by chance, any flaming arrows, any lies from the enemy, passes through your faith and actually pierces you, you still have the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. You still have your dagger to be able to dig that flaming arrow out. So you flip to the word of God and you find the promises that He’s speaking to you. You find the actual truths that he is saying about you.   You see, the devil is called an accuser and a liar in the Bible for a reason. If you ever want to know the truth, if you are ever curious about what the truth is you just go ahead and hear what he is saying to you, flip it, and you have your answer. Flip whatever the enemy is telling you right now and that's the truth. Men, be encouraged! If the enemy is trying to come at you it's probably for a reason. It’s probably because you are gaining ground in an area that he occupied before. He knows how dangerous you would be if you actually stepped into your identity in that area. He knows he must do everything he can to be able to keep you out of that. So he starts to throw these flaming arrows at you, makes sure that you keep at a distance from the area you are supposed to inhabit. He tells you that you are not worthy. That you are not the man that you should be; that you aren't a chosen one, that you aren't a saint.  Whatever! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingmen/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingmen/support
