Welcome to the Further Gospel Podcast

the Gospel Podcast where we provide sound doctrine for everyday people.

I'm your host Kosti Hen and I want to welcome our listeners on Apple and Spotify

and those of you enjoying this on our YouTube video podcast format.

On today's episode, we're finishing the self-control series. I've got six

bricks for you for building a life of self-control and they are from a book that I've

read before the series. I've been in it a little bit during the series and it's one that I'm going to keep on my shelf for years to come. The book is called a man's greatest challenge. It's by an author named Die Hanke, and in a particular chapter he talks about being from

Wales and visiting castles growing up in these towering castles with all of their strength and how they were formed long before modern

machinery could fabricate stone in mass. So these castles were being built in those times long past brick by brick.

There's no shortcuts, no mass production, no quick fix. It was brick by brick. No Quick Fix. Fix.

It was Brick by Brick.

I'd recommend the book to you.

Again, it's called The Man's Greatest Challenge.

It's by Die Henke.

I picked it up at Grace Books when I was in California not too long ago and it has been to the point

It's a perfect book for men on the fly you can read it. It's got a ton of scriptural encouragement and in particular he walks through six bricks in the final chapter

and I want to pass those along to you because brick by brick is exactly how self-control works.

The Holy Spirit bears fruit in our lives

and we don't become perfected in a day.

Self-control is not mastered after reading a book,

even a good book like Hankies, it's not mastered after listening to this series,

but rather God strengthens you and I brick by brick day by day
