Most men aren’t weak by design, they’ve been domesticated. House-trained by other people’s opinions. Afraid to offend. Afraid to stand out. Afraid to actually live at full strength. In this episode, Rory goes straight at the domesticated mentality. The destructive mindset that makes us water down who we are so that those around us can stomach us.

If you’ve ever walked away from a moment knowing you played small, this one is a line-in-the-sand episode.

Today is an intervention for the man who keeps diluting himself down to be “tolerated.”

HOW TO DEVELOP – TRAINING FOR FULL, AUTHENTIC POTENCY

1. WHERE AM I DILUTING MYSELF

  • Ask: “Where do I pretend to care less than I actually do?” “Where do I hide the real me?
  • Ask your wife or a close brother: “Where have you seen me shrink back?”

2.OTHER PEOPLES COMFORT ISNT MY COMPASS

  • Daily declaration:
    • “I fear God, not man. Their comfort is not my compass.”
  • Stop editing your answers: when people ask what you believe, what you’re building, or what you’re about, give the real version.
  • Let people filter themselves out if your full-strength life makes them uncomfortable.

3. CRANK UP THE VOLTAGE (turn it up to 11!!!)

  • Decide: “I will stop apologizing for my intensity, my standards, my discipline, and my CONVICTIONS!!!

Focus: on the people you’re assigned to build, not the crowd you’re afraid to lose.

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