Back to EpisodesThe Westside Podcast—featuring Jonathan Hansen - Week 2: Stand Firm (Recap) | The Fire Has Gone Out: How Men Reignite Their Faith
Description
What does it mean to truly live on fire for God?
In this episode of The Westside Podcast, we dive into “Building Bonfires: Cultivating a Life Lived for God” — a powerful conversation about surrender, spiritual growth, and becoming the kind of man who brings strength, hope, and stability to his family and community.
Too many people today feel spiritually exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. But God never intended for us to simply go through the motions of faith. He calls us to a life fully alive in Him — a life fueled daily through Scripture, prayer, surrender, and dependence on Jesus.
Together, we explore:
• Why we must clear away the sin, distractions, and habits that keep us spiritually stuck
• How surrendering to God’s will leads to freedom and transformation
• Why spiritual fire requires fresh fuel every day
• The role prayer and God’s Word play in cultivating lasting faith
• How brokenness can become the place where God does His deepest work
• What it looks like to become a spiritual lighthouse for your family during life’s storms
Whether you’re exploring faith, rebuilding your relationship with God, or wanting to grow deeper spiritually, this episode offers practical encouragement and biblical truth for everyday life.
Reflection Questions:
• What specific areas of my life need surrender to God’s will right now?
• How can I be more consistent in bringing fresh fuel to my spiritual fire through Scripture and prayer?
• In what ways can I better serve as a lighthouse for my family, pointing them toward Jesus rather than trying to be their source of strength?
• What would change in my home if I truly lived as a man on fire for God?
