Let’s face it. The better you do your work, the more people want from you. Demand increases. Pressure follows. And if you’re not careful, you can end up living on adrenaline instead of abiding.

In this message, we’ll look at one short—but revealing—verse from the life of Jesus:

“But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” (Luke 5:16)

Why did Jesus pray so much? What problem was He solving—and why does that matter for men today?

Jesus withdrew—not to escape responsibility—but to renew strength and stay aligned with the Father. He managed the momentum that would have otherwise consumed Him.

Join Pat Morley and think through the rhythms you need so you can follow the example of Jesus and lead a biblically rhythmic life.

Right after calling the fishermen, the very next man Jesus “catches” is not an impressive leader, but a leper—a man whose hopes and dreams had been shattered, who came begging Jesus for help.

Join Pat Morley as we feel the weight of what Jesus wanted His disciples to see—and understand.

For us, this raises a searching question:

Are we a place where broken men feel safe to come and ask for help?

Something is amiss if broken men are not coming to us.

Something is amiss if we are not seeking out broken men.

And while sometimes a man still won’t come even when we do everything right, we don’t want it to be because of us.

A carpenter tells professional fishermen where to catch fish—an instruction that defied all logic, humanly speaking.

Join Pat Morley tomorrow morning as we watch what happened next, and how one simple response—“At Your word”—opened their eyes to Jesus’ power and might.

Do you feel it—that yearning to be part of something so big it’s doomed to fail if God’s not on it?

Come feel the exhilaration of following Jesus with your whole heart.
