Real Faith or Just Habit? What Walking with God Actually Looks Like for Men - Message at the MAG EP 946
12/19/2025 | 31 mins.
Are you settling for religion when God is calling you to a relationship? Do you just know about Jesus - or do you actually walk with Him? In this Message at the Mag, Jim Ramos helps men who are tired of shallow faith and spiritual passivity. This isn't about church attendance, religious habits, or moral behavior; it's about a real, daily, relationship with the one true God. You'll get insight into why Men are wired to walk with God side-by-side, not just talk about Him, and why your faith doesn't just affect you—it transforms your family and legacy. Jim's newest book, Guardrails: Ten Boundaries for an Unbreakable Marriage will be releasing in April 2026. Sign up to be notified when it's available at https://meninthearena.org/guardrails.
