You prayed the prayer. You go to church. Nothing actually changed. The gospel you were handed was missing a word.

In this episode of Chosen to Lead Men's Podcast, Steve Altmeyer asks men the question most churches avoid: if you're saved, why does nothing look different? Bold and real like most won't talk about.

In this episode:
- Why you can pray the prayer and still not change
- What "God loves you" leaves out, and why nobody told you
- The word your church stopped preaching
- Why feeling bad about sin isn't the same as turning from it
- How to tell if something real actually happened to you

WHAT WE STAND ON
Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose the third day, and that is the ground under everything on this channel. No man cleans himself up first — we are saved by grace through faith, not by anything we produced. It is his kindness that leads a man to repentance, and repentance is required, because it is how a man receives that grace.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 · Romans 2:4 · Romans 5:8 · Ephesians 2:8-9 · 1 John 5:11-13
