Hi! Welcome to Intentional Men. This community helps men get the tools and resources needed to walk in integrity to make an impact on the world. Step 1: Introduce yourself below! (✄ copy/paste template 👇) 1️⃣ Who are you, where are you from and who do you work with? 2️⃣ What do you want to get out of being in this community? 3️⃣ For fun what do you like to do? 4️⃣ Drop a photo of your office space or where you like to do work from. I'll go first... 🙋 1️⃣ My name is Denis Gerasimov, I am a part-time pastor, married to my lovely wife Anna (for 9 years now!), and have 4 amazing kids (Ezra - 7, Kataleya - 5, Aria - 3, Micah - 1). I dabbled in the business world (start-ups) when I graduated from CSUEB with a marketing/finance degree. God called me to seminary/ministry and here I am now. Live in the wonderful Bay Area where my parents immigrated to from the former Soviet Union back in 1991. 2️⃣ What I want out of this community is to be able to serve you. To help men be who God created them to be. Solid men = solid families = solid society. 🤯 I want to make new friends and inspire hope in men who think life without p*rn is not possible so that they can impact others. 3️⃣ For fun I enjoy hiking, traveling with the fam, playing guitar, and eating yummy food. Love creating things like this community and helping people. 4️⃣ My office is currently at Wework. 😁 (and at home if I need to watch kids) ✅ Let's gooooo! Comment below!

Fight Like A Man by EZ
Ok y'all I read a few chapters cause many of these chapters fairly short. I read chapters 4-6. Chapter 4 is Blitzkrieg, The Devil's playbook for sexual temptations. The book goes back to the big 3 from earlier. The first is Discontent: Satanic Whispers. I will type in the paragraph of what Satan whispers, it's really good. Here's the paragraph "How unfair it is of God to give you a sex drive and not allow you to fulfill it. You're so young and far off from being married; how does God expect you to stay celibate for such a long time? You've been single for so many years, and who knows how long it will be before you marry? Why would God create you to be attracted to women and then not to permit you to have satisfying thoughts about them in you mind or to enjoy the exhilarating thrill that comes from seeing them naked photos or videos? Why would God allow your body to build such intense sexual tension and then not allow you to release it through masturbation? Why would God give you a wife, allow you to still feel attraction for other women, and then tell you that you can't have sex with them too? Yes, you have a wife, but in light of her having such low sex drive, why are still forbidden to find sexual release through other means? It is fair that God gave you a wife but then took her from away through death and now tells you that you can't have sex again unless you remarry?" page 38-39. I do apologize for this being long, but there's awesome stuff in this book. The next thing is Disbelief: Irrational Rationalizations and I'll share this paragraph of what Satan would whisper in everyone's ear. Here's the paragraph "Come on, you know that God isn't going to do anything just because you go with what's natural. After all, God gave you a desire for sexual intimacy with a woman, and it's completely normal for you to get some release and satisfaction. you won't be harming your mind or your body; you'll actually be helping them reach a much-needed state of calm and relaxation, which is very good for you. you'll be doing the same for your partner, and this will draw you even closer to each other and strengthen your relational bonds. There won't be any negative consequences for this-only good ones." Then the author goes to Deification. The God Delusion, in short deals with pride. Then goes into dropping like dominoes, how with these 3 things we tend to fall fast.
