The Cutting Room Floor | Provider vs. Performer
When it comes to manhood, are you living as a provider or just performing for the crowd? In week two of Toy Stories, Jon Weece sat down to unpack what didn’t make it into his sermon, Provider vs. Performer. From Joseph’s humility to David’s restraint, and from his father’s influence to his own lessons in leadership, Jon shares why meekness isn’t weakness, it’s strength under control.. This week’s challenge: stop trying to impress, and start serving the people God has placed in your life. Hosts: Neil Gregory & Jon Weece What We Discuss: • Joseph & David as models of humility • Lessons from Jon’s dad • The difference between pride and humility • Meekness as power under control • What to do if you didn’t have a strong father figure • Handling criticism and compliments in leadership • The nine most important words: “I was wrong. I am sorry. Please forgive me.” • Why serving is the simplest way to practice humility • Investing in younger men and discipling the next generation ⸻ About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky. We believe Jesus came for the lost and the broken, which means there’s a place for everyone here. We want what He wants: for heaven to be really crowded. Around here, that means we worship defiantly, speak truth unashamedly, and extend grace generously.

Toy Stories - Ken | Provider vs. Performer
Godly men aren’t called to perform for approval but to provide through humility and love. In Philippians 2, Jesus shows that real strength is found in serving others, not seeking applause. This week, we’ll learn how to lead like Christ by elevating others, taking risks in faith, and leaving people and places better than we found them.

The Cutting Room Floor | Responsible vs. Passive
What does real manhood look like in today’s world? In this episode of The Cutting Room Floor, Neil sits down with Scott Nickell to dig deeper into week one of our Toy Stories series. Together they unpack what didn’t make it into Sunday’s sermon, everything from John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart to the cultural pressure young men face to delay marriage and family. Scott challenges the myths of adventure and success, points us back to faithfulness in the everyday, and names the upstream issues that ripple through families and culture when men step back instead of stepping up. Where might God be calling you to stop being passive and take on responsibility? Hosts: Neil Gregory & Scott Nickell What We Discuss: • Why conferences can’t replace week-to-week discipleship • Every man’s call to fight battles, live adventures, and rescue beauty, in real life, not just stories • The cultural drift toward delay (marriage, kids, commitment) • Faithfulness in “ordinary” callings • The impact of fatherlessness and passivity in the home • Practical steps for men to engage humbly and intentionally ⸻ About Southland Christian Church Southland is one church meeting in multiple locations across central Kentucky.
