Something that has always been beneficial for me has been a semi-regular pursuit of Solitude. For those of you who do not know me in person, I am an incredibly anxious individual. It's one of my biggest faults, because it means that I struggle with letting go, submitting FULLY, and trusting Jesus.  The best way that I've been able to combat this particular issue in my life is actively and proactively seeking solitude, and I'm not the only one to find solace in it. It's prescribed biblically throughout the old and new testament when you look at the actions and contexts of some of the heaviest hitters in all of Biblical Scripture.   That's what Episode 3 is all about, gentlemen. What does God say about solitude, when did the great men of Scripture seek solitude, and what was the outcome.  Hope you guys enjoy the podcast. We are going to be discussing the topic of Solitude in The Forge, our private Facebook group, so if you guys arent a part of that, I would highly recommend you join up. Also, don't forget to connect with us on social media. We're on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook under the handle "BiblicalMasculinity" Final thought: Guys none of this matters if you aren't willing to take action. On this podcast, I go over hypotheticals and actionable intel, but if all we do is internalize the message but we don't actually act on it, you're just deceiving yourself in the interest of satisfying the guilt of not being the man you know you ought to be. I'm not equating my own words to Scripture, by any means, but James 1:22 says:  But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." Apply the knowledge. Apply the scripture. Be the man you were always meant to be.
