The Purpose God Gave Every Man
Watch on YouTube ↗ Read transcript ↓
Summary
In one line: Man was created to be God's solution and a symbol of order and rest (Genesis 1:26-27) — and many men struggle because they don't know themselves.
Key points
- His view: men were designed to lead — "when a woman has to stand up and lead, it's because a man has failed"; a wife comes to assist his work. (He adds that there are brilliant women fit for office.)
- God rested after creating Adam (Genesis 2:1-3) — a man is meant to be a place of rest; that's why women's standards ("six pack, six figures") are high: a man is expected to solve things.
- No woman can make a man great, but a good wife makes a great man greater.
- Raising sons: when his son Andrew falls he says "let him get up" — "you are not created to stay down."

Number one, if you read Genesis chapter 1 and you go to verse 26- 27, you realize that God was making man to be a solution to his problem.
Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let him have dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air. Let him bring order. That was what God created man for. Man is not only a solution but is a symbol of order. That is why it is easier. Not saying that we don't have brilliant women that should be in office or even be presidents but it is easier to vote for a man. Not because people are misogynistic. It's actually not true. It is in our DNA because a man was designed to lead. Period.
When a woman has to stand up and lead, it's because a man has failed.
Wow. Because the duty of a woman was to come and assist you with your work, not her work.
Now, this is the reality. That is why when God created, even though he blessed Adam and Eve and Eve was within Adam, but when Adam was created, God rested. He didn't rest when he created both of them. Are y'all listening to me?
The Bible says Genesis chapter 2 uh verse one says and and and God created God rested from all he was work that he did and for the seven days that he worked he finally rested because you are a symbol of rest.
Amen. Amen.
That is why most men don't even get attention from women.
In fact, this is a real statistic that most men will never be looked at by a woman they desire because if they cannot find rest in you, they're not going to do it.
But this is a real statistic. The world has what job do you have? What security do you have? Their standards are so high because when you come in, you are supposed to solve everything. I I feel Come on. Come on, guys. I I'm just trying to be real.
[cheering]
I'm being very very real with you.
I want six pack. I want six figures. What are you bringing to the table? Most women, I am the table. No, you're not.
You understand what I'm saying? But what I'm trying to explain to you is that no one will even give you attention if you're not solving anything. Especially in today's world whereby people have an illusion of real life
whereby they don't understand that people have to build
and if a man is great and a good woman is next to him a wife is next to him the man becomes greater.
Amen.
Becomes even more than what God already planted in them. They they they ex they excel beyond what they already are. But the reality is no woman can make a man great. It's either you're great or you're not. But most men, it's not because man was not created great. Most men don't know themsel. That is the real issue.
It's a real real issue. It's a struggle that every man will go through because from the time you are a young boy, I do that to Sale too. I did that to Andrew and it's his turn now. He falls and anybody his mother wants to run to him. Oh no. I said, "No, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. Let him get up."
No, get up. And you'll see him like sometimes he'll crawl to something, stand up, or sometimes he will get on one knee and stand up by himself and goes back laughing and smiling. Why? Because if a daughter falls, oh, you better catch her.
Amen. But a son falls down, man, prepare to be knocked down every time. And you have to learn to get up because you are not created to stay down. Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
