Joe Rogan & Tolerant Men Feat. Garret Barbush| EP. 106

“Let’s be tolerant men amid an intolerant world.” // Garret Barbush

On EP. 106 Garret touches on the hot topic conversation of the day, Joe Rogan and the Spotify conflict. Men, we live in a sensitive culture where it’s not okay to have disagreements. We break down a story in Acts 15 between Paul and Barnabas where they agreed to disagree and moved forward with love and respect. In relationships disagreements are inevitable. Let’s be tolerant men amid an intolerant world.

“Men, if we are going thrive as men, we need to learn how to simply allow ideas to collide and understand that this should not derail us but it should put us on course for what God has called us to do.” // Garret Barbush

Takeaways:

Unless you’ve been living under a rock I’m sure you have heard of the Joe Rogan and Spotify conflict
The bottom line is that we live in a sensitive culture
Why can’t we as a culture have conversations where we can agree to disagree and move forward with love and respect
Men, if you are engaged in mentorship, there SHOULD be conflict, and there WILL be disagreements
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” // Proverbs 27:17
In Acts 15, Paul and Barnabas have some conflict on whether to take Mark on the next leg of their trip. They have such a sharp disagreement that they part company
They dealt with their disagreement in a manly way, they both continued on the mission that God put in front of them and the Gospel continued to spread
Let’s be tolerant men and let’s embrace disagreement
In relationships, disagreement is inevitable
We shouldn’t call for someone’s livelihood to be shut down because of disagreements. We should agree do disagree and continue on the path that God has put us on
We are men of God, we must lead the way
Let’s be tolerant people amid an intolerant world
