DD: APPROVAL CONDITIONING | The Quiet Brainwashing That Neutered You Before You Could Become a Man

Rory Lawrence & Matt Fortin Episode 26

TEXT US A COMMENT!

We have been quietly brainwashed from boyhood to sit down, be quiet, and wait for someone else's approval before we can move. This episode exposes systematic approval conditioning. The hidden training that neutered you before you could even become a man.

Rory digs into how parents, school, church, and the system programmed you to seek a green light of approval before you move. Then we show you how to break that leash with Scripture, conviction, and action. If you are tired of asking everyone if it is okay to obey God, this one is for you.

QOTD: “If you live for permission from people, you will die with potential still in you.” - TDMP

SOTD: Galatians 1:10 ESV
“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God. Or am I trying to please man. If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”

APPLICATION STEPS:

Step 1. Where Are You Waiting For Permission

  • One area: leading at home, starting something, having a hard conversation. Starting that business, taking that next step…
  • Fill in the blank: “I know I should do this. I am just waiting for ______ to be okay first.”

Step 2. Shift From Permission To Commission

  • Ask yourself this: has God already spoken on this in Scripture.
  • If yes, you already have a higher green light.
  • Say this: “God’s commission is greater than human permission.”

Step 3. Take One Act Of Obedient Initiative This Week

  • Not reckless just simple Obedience.

Dangerous Focus For The Week

  • Pick one area where you have been waiting for APPROVAL to make your move... that you know you need to make, and just MAKE THE MOVE!
