Lean Into the Hards Things | Restoring Warriors Daily Devotional | Matthew 21:1-2

Sean Nealon

In this episode, we look at Jesus stepping into the final stretch of His mission — fully aware of the betrayal, brutality, and the cross waiting for Him in Jerusalem — yet walking forward with purpose, courage, and obedience. Matthew 21:1–2 gives us a picture of leadership that refuses to retreat, even when the road ahead is costly.

We unpack how Jesus models what real Kingdom manhood looks like: not avoiding the hard things, not hiding behind excuses, and not shrinking back in fear — but stepping toward the assignment God gives. This teaching challenges the places in our own lives where comfort has replaced calling and where avoidance has replaced obedience.

You’ll hear:
 • How Jesus leads with courage, not comfort
 • Why men are called to step toward difficult things, not away
• The connection between obedience and spiritual authority
• How avoidance erodes leadership — and how courage restores it
• Practical steps for stepping into the hard conversations and responsibilities God is asking of you

We close with a powerful reflection, a daily challenge, and a prayer to help you walk this out today.

If you’re ready to be a man who moves with courage instead of comfort, this episode is for you.
