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.

Jesus was a rising star.

He returned to his hometown where He got invited to preach at His home “church.” Everyone was excited to hear what He had to say—until He said it.

Join Pat Morley and observe the chaos that followed from the perspective of the disciples.

The problem will be easy to understand, but what does it mean? And how does it apply to you? Join us and find out.

A man’s young son is about to die.

In desperation, the father pleads with Jesus to heal him.

When Jesus tells him his son will live, the man doesn’t wait for proof. He takes Jesus at His word and starts home in obedience.

If you’ve ever struggled to obey before things make sense, and who hasn't, this one's for you.

Join Pat Morley and let Jesus train you like He trained them.

A whole village of people was on their way to see Jesus.

In fact, throngs of new people are searching for him every day.

But the disciples were not yet trained to understand the bigger picture of what was going on. Jesus lovingly took them aside to open their eyes so they could see the bigger picture and guide the people.

That’s training. Join Pat Morley and let Jesus train you like He trained them—to see the bigger picture and be part of it.

In the previous lesson, we were not surprised to learn that Jesus would meet with a top religious leader.

This week’s lesson takes us 180 degrees in the other direction. You see, Jesus' next move was to seek out the kind of person that most people seek to avoid. The message is clear: Everyone matters to Jesus. And as we will also see, everyone can make a difference.

But the Twelve were surprised—even befuddled. Join Pat Morley and let’s nail down what Jesus was trying to teach His disciples, then and now, about His mission, His audience, His message, and His method. Join us—and train like the Twelve.
