Walk and talk with John Enslow
Leaving wounding shame by embracing the truth of who you really are.
Hey there, so today I want to talk about shame as the I am statement. I realize that shame basically makes I am statements that affirm and confirm that we are worthless and contemptible. And that is not who we are at all! We are not worthless. We are not contemptible, anything but. But statement like: I am disgusting, I am worthless, I am stupid, I am ugly, I am of no value, I am flawed. All these are statements that come against us and come against something even greater. My negative toxic shame “I am” statements come against, truly, my great I AM, and what He thinks about me, because He never gives me the… I am disgusting, I am worthless, I am flawed, I am stupid, I am ugly, I am of no value. Actually, His Word tells me everything, but that. His Word comes completely against those shame-filled toxic statements, negative statements that destroy our value in our self, our self-worth, our joy, our excitement. And that’s what we had to come against. is literally all the statements that speak “I am” that is against our great I AM and what He says about us.
I have experienced in my life, countless people that have had to stand in the gap against me. Against my beliefs, against my false faith, against my shame. They’ve had to stand against, and they have said NO, that is not who you are. But the fact is that it is not an easy come against. We are very committed to our negative shame statements. We’ve had evidence that is proved it, usually over and over and over in our life. And we’ve compounded those shameful thoughts, the toxic shame, thoughts that have solidified and cemented us in shame, and we can’t get free. What the Lord does is He’ll send someone or multiple someone’s into our life to basically stand against say, “Stop, that is not who you are!” It’s one thing to spit scripture at us and say, “Well, this is what the Word says.” That’s great, that’s fine but it’s a totally different deal when the Holy Spirit will come and speak very specifically against our shame. He is definitely committed to destroy those shame field thoughts and those shame-filled feelings and shame-filled beliefs. He wants to crush them.
So in my life right now, what I’m doing is I’m standing in the gap. I’m coming against, through coaching, men’s negative beliefs, shame-filled, toxic shame thoughts that are coming against their design. Their God-given, spiritual DNA and design that God has created them to live in. We have a divine design, and we are designed by the divine. And those thoughts come counter to what He says. Who He is and what He wants to do in our life and it prevents us from actually experiencing truth, reality and and love. Love is one of the things that we can’t, in shame, we can’t except love. We can’t receive love. We push away from love; we leave love because it’s unbelievable. It’s something that is against the very thing that we’re believing. And we unfortunately, usually will hold fast to those beliefs, and we will maintain them as truth. It’s not the truth. It’s absolutely not the truth, but sometimes someone has to stand in the gap for us. Someone has to come in and speak against those wrong shame-filled thoughts, erroneous thoughts, these thoughts that rise themselves above the Most High. Scripture says stand against those thoughts that rise up and exalt themselves against the Most High. These thoughts, it doesn’t only have to be about Him and what we believe about Him, sometimes it’s about the erroneous thoughts that we believe about ourselves. Those evil thoughts that go against His knowledge OF US.
I’m excited about that. I’m excited that not only am I able to receive that ministry in my life, as I have for years, but I’m able to give that ministry to others, and walk with them and stand against the the tragic wave of destruction coming from toxic shame. So I thank you for listening. I would love your prayers as I am doing this because it’s a Holy Spirit move, and it’s a Holy Spirit lead empowered endeavor because you have to do with curiosity, with kindness. You can just go in and bash it and beat it. The shame has bashed and beat us for years. So we can stand in curiosity and in compassion for a story that has buried men underneath sham-filled beliefs. I love you appreciate you and I’ll talk to you real soon.

Dreams Versus Fantasy Discussion
Episode #858
05/28/2023
Walk and talk with John Enslow
From Fantasies to Dreams: Embrace the Vision, Experience the Life!
Well hey there, so I have been receiving some feedback from a number of my posts and podcasts and I was really excited about the one guy wrote me some feedback and he was really excited about the podcast and posts that I did about dreams and fantasy and what the difference is. He wrote, “I just listen to the difference between fantasy and dreams. Wow, that one really gets me dude! I guess I always thought that my dreams were too big for what God had for me, so I settled for fantasy.” Connecting that with my shame posts and my shame podcasts…that’s shame. That shame literally speaking shame to that man. I asked him if I could share this and he said absolutely. And I was really pleased because I feel that such a huge distinction whether we were in the shame of our fantasies or whether were in the life of our dreams.
You know fantasies always isolate and separate. Where dreams teem with hope and life. Dreams carry us. Without a vision the people perish. Dreams carry us, vision and dreams carry us. While fantasy drags us down and bogs us down into hopelessness that any fulfillment will ever be had other than in our thinking. Think about that. So our fantasies literally push us back and hold us back from actually experiencing life and leaves us in an isolated thought chamber of nothingness and hopelessness, hoping to achieve with our fantasies something that could be meaningful all the while being meaningless. I hate it! I hate that our fantasies withdraws us from the actual experience of life.
I don’t know if you’ve read the posts or if you’ve seen the past podcast, I invite you to go do it. The difference is so immense and so crazy because it is a stark difference. And I never want to relegate my life to fantasy while I can be entering into dreams and hope and life and I can experience Him in those. Our dreams are usually connected to our God image, the God that dwells within us, the exchange life.
Our dreams have vision of the Kingdom and hope. It doesn’t even have to be religious or spiritual, because that’s not all that I am. I also am a triune being with a body, and a soul. I am I have to have my emotions touched and my body touched and my physicality touched. And God created me that way to have my spirit and my body and my soul all united towards a Kingdom purpose, but it doesn’t have to necessarily be a spiritual purpose. It can be a life purpose. It can be a connected purpose. Christ, amazingly, Christ wasn’t always about spiritual things. He was about things that were very, very connected to the earth. All His parables were connected to the earth, because He was trying to get our body and our soul in line with our spirit, so that we would be Kingdom people. And that’s what happens when we enter those dreams.
Even if it’s dreams for our family, we experience them by entering into them, and focusing on them, and allowing them to take over and to become our reality. Become our life, give us the direction that we’re looking for. Where fantasy, it just boils us down to a soulish desire. And maybe that’s another distinction?! Maybe dreams emanate from the spirit and from the spirit life, where fantasy is literally just soulish to focus on the body. Maybe that’s the little distinction is the direction of where it is. The soul is obviously the choice but fantasy is always going towards body, body, body, body, body. Make my body feel good! Where my dreams are spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit, benefit of my spiritual life, and of my life in general. I think that beautiful! I think this beautiful, literally your soul is the decision-maker of where that’s going to be and you get to choose and when you engage your dreams, you can unite them with God and allow Him to direct your dreams. That’s gorgeous!
Oh my gosh, it’s absolutely beautiful. He’s the Director of my dreams, He gives me the life, He gives me the purpose, He gives me the vision, and then I am able to experience it with Him and experience His life in my life. Where fantasy…it’s just death. It’s just isolating me into nothingness and temporal. There’s another difference. Dreams are eternal, even if they’re temporally expressed an experience, but fantasy is very temporal, very immediate, very selfish, very end of the road. The end goal of fantasy is a fleshly fulfillment and that’s just tragic.
So thank you to this friend for sending me this. I love the responses. I love how I can see people get connected with the content and thank you for that. And I love you guys, I appreciate you and thank you for being a part of what God expressing and doing here.

From Shame to Wholeness
Episode #857

Walk and talk with John Enslow
Overcoming shame to experience freedom from shame’s devastation and isolation.
Hey there, I wanted to talk about shame again. I’m really on that, as I’m writing this book, I’m just fascinated with the subject because I’m seeing the power to destroy shame which is outstanding. It’s beautiful! I’m also working on a book on the Will of God. That one is done. I have a final read through and then I’m gonna be trying to get that one out. It’s called His Will Alone and it’s about how to know the Will of God and live in its many benefits. So I’m looking forward to that one coming out and being available. As I’ve read through it in the last two days, I’ve just been like: OK, this is really good! This is giving a good picture of how to enter into the Will of God. That one will be coming out, actually before the shame one.
I’m still collecting the stories from shame and the testimony of shame, overcoming shame, overcomed shame, as well as shames that are looking to be overcome. So that’s gonna be a really amazing thing. Today I want to hear that shame makes us deaf, as well as mute. You might say how could it make you deaf and mute? Well shame leaves us trapped in a shame filled echo chamber in fear that we will be found out and disconnected. As I’ve said a number of times shame’s isolating, shame literally separates us and makes us feel less then and we are afraid of being found out.
Whatever the shame is, we’re shamed of it, and afraid to expose it to anyone, and we hold dear to self protect us. But what I’ve learned is having curiosity and compassion for our self and shame will help give way to discovering the path to wholeness. And I want to see wholeness. I have experienced great shame in my life, debilitating shame my life and shame that I literally could not overcome. And then the Lord has done a work to crush that shame, and kill that shame, and I have been enriched because of it. I have been impacted so deeply as I have literally come out of the prison of shame in certain areas and walked free. I’m loving it, it’s night and day different.
I’m not saying I totally overcome shame, that I have no shame in my life because I think shame is inherently human. Shame is what we in the human condition our fallen human condition, we deal with shame. We deal with the shame of our nakedness, we deal with the shame of our exposure, we deal with the shame of our sin, we deal with the shame of our circumstances. We just deal with shame on a regular basis. And I think that the Lord is really desiring to crush that because ultimately not only does it separate me from me, me from others, but it separates me from God. Nothing can separate me from the love of God, but I can live separated in my thinking. I can live separated in shame, fearful, just like Adam and Eve did.
Adam and Eve left the tree and they were ashamed, and they were separated from God. In reality? No, but in their concept, absolutely! They had to put on clothes, they had to put on fog leaves to prevent themselves from being seen. They were isolated in the clothing of their own making. And they were deaf and they were mute until God said, “Who told you, you were naked?
So I really want this to be powerful. I’m asking you for your prayers because I really really want this to be powerful. I want this to have the impact to hit it, and it may not knock down all the shame but if you can literally give a reverberation of freedom and wholeness. The possibility even…I’m excited. I’m really excited! So thank you for listening. Thank you for following and I love you guys. I appreciate your prayers. I appreciate your input. I appreciate your connection. I’ve had a number of guys reach out and basically tell me what this is meaning them and telling me that they have a shame story that they want to tell. I love it. I absolutely love it! So thank you and I’ll talk to you again soon.
From Shame to Wholeness – Episode #857 – DivineDesigned.LifeShame can make us feel isolated, trapped, and afraid of being exposed. Come with curiosity and compassion to find a path towards wholeness.

Shame, Signpost or Headstone
Episode #856

Walk and talk with John Enslow
Shattering Shame: Embracing Freedom and Reclaiming Our True Selves!
Hey guys, I just wanna reach out today and let you know that I’ve been in some training recently and the training was absolutely phenomenal. It was some of the best I’ve ever had and I really came away from there seeing so much of the necessity for just the connection that we can offer and the deep meaning that we give when we are connected, when we’re attuned to, when we’re listen to and when we can come to a place of wholeness and healing.
As a coach I’m looking to attune to guys. I’m looking to be there and to be connected and involved, but I’m not looking to teach or tell. I’m looking to basically bring out what is there, connect with a divine design, connect with the spiritual DNA.
One of the things that they were talking about is betrayal trauma and shame. And what I’m learning is that we can learn from our shame and grow. Shame is not a death sentence. It’s an opportunity and invitation to experience freedom. Shame is like a landmark. If we see it as an opportunity for directional change, we benefit and thrive. We literally can thrive in the presence of shame, when we use it as a signpost, a directional signpost to leave the shame and enter into wholeness and healing. But if we see it as a headstone, if we use it as a grave marker, we remain dead in the assessment of shame, and I never want that to be the case. I never wanna die in my shame. I never want to allow shame to take over so fully that I literally have it as a headstone and it’s the end of my life. That shame kills that life and kills my experience of life and my adventure of life, because I’ve gone from experiencing the shame to letting the shame be cemented and established and fortified and supported.
But if I can sit there and I can say OK, this shame is telling me this, but I don’t want that in my life, I can choose to leave that shame, I can choose to make a directional switch and change and move towards no shame. I can leave the shame and leave it in the past and let it just be a marker and learn from the shame. So shame is going to come.
Shame is human. Shame is since the fall it’s our story… shameful stories. But we can learn from those stories and we can move forward. We can go to the distance in those shames if we allow them to be a marker to say, I need to change, I want to change, I have the power to change and I can connect with Christ who is my change.
So I just wanted to say that because I am super encouraged as I’m writing this book on shame and I’m so I’m getting these shame stories, I’m so excited to see how how men have come out of their shame. How they’ve overcome their shame. Shames that are debilitating, shames that literally could take them under and destroy their creativity, destroy their capability and destroy their ability to truly be who they were created to be. They are overcoming those shames. I’ve got other guys who are in the process of doing that. They’re crushing the shame, but they still have that shame as the signpost. It still in their view and they are leaving it but it’s still in their view. And then I have other guys that just have come up on the sign and they’re saying “OK, How do I read the sign and get the directions away from the shame?”
So, I love you, I appreciate you, thank you for listening, and I look forward to continuing this dialogue about shame, and about how we overcome shame, and the victory that we can have over shame, as we literally use it as a learning tool, rather than a death assignment on our lives. I love you!
Shame, Signpost or Headstone – Episode #856 – DivineDesigned.LifeShame is either a signpost or headstone. Shame is a directional marker or gravestone, receive it’s assessment or use it to learn from.

Walk and talk with John Enslow
Weakness can be a source of shame, but as we enter overcoming shame we can access the strength and power from God.
Well hey guys? I am now back home after doing the writing trip about the overcoming shame book. I didn’t get as much done as I wanted to but I’m real excited about what I did get it done. I have sent a request out to a number of guys asking for testimonies of shame, overcoming shame, shame that is overcome and shame that’s current. And I’m asking for testimonies. I really want to show the reality and the depths of shame and what it looks like. I want to paint a picture of shame, and give people the ability to see shame in others. I found that often when we see the shames in others lives it normalize our own, and we realize that it may not be true. So that to me is an amazing thing.
I was involved in a group setting where we went and did an affirmation circle. In the affirmation circle each man stood up and was talking about their own personal likes and dislikes about themselves. They’re talking about their own shame. They were talking about things that shamed them about themselves, about their making, about their person, about their character, about their life situation, about all kinds of shame. And then they had men stand up before them, and they had those men speak their own truth about that man. It was one of the most touching, amazing encounters I’ve ever had. There was a bunch of tears and the residual of it was pretty amazing. The residual of this was that these guys literally were able to say, “This man thinks this about himself, that is so not true and here’s the real truth that I see. Here’s the data that I have.” And it really blew the guys away. They were like able to say, “I never would’ve thought that you would’ve thought that.”
So in this book, I am wanting to pepper it all with shame stories, testimonies of shame, overcoming shame, overcomed shame, and shame that is current. And I am writing stories about shame from my own life. I am enjoying just diving in. I’m being very raw, very real, very honest with it, but I’m enjoying the process of bringing it out. There is an amazing healing nature to bring shame into the light and to bring our shames before others to bring healing and wholeness. Obviously you have to do it in a scenario and situation that is safe and that you’re being honored and attuned to and that the people are for you. I wouldn’t want to do it just with any group. I would want to do it with a trusted group of men or women, whatever, that I trusted to bring that shame out with. So one of the shames I’m talking about is the shame of our weakness.
I have written on the blog several times about the fact that as a child, I was unwilling to sing this song Jesus loves me in it’s entirety. How I was sing it is Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so, little ones to Him belong, hmmhmmhmm but He is strong. Yes, Jesus love me. Yes Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus love me. The Bible tells me so. I would not sing, “They are weak!” I would not do it. I absolutely refused because I didn’t want to be weak. Weakness makes us dependent. But here is the amazing thing about weakness, weakness also gives us access to His strength. It’s the only thing that gives us access to His strength. We see that in Paul’s life where Paul said, he boast in his weakness. And while our shame, as men as women, can be around our weakness, men especially their inability, their lack of prowess, their lack of character. All these things are shaming things and they’re weaknesses. But when I enter into my weakness, when I enter into the shame and sit with that weakness and sit with that shame, in His strength I literally lean into Him for His strength on the situation. I am brought into victory, wholeness and healing.
In the NLT version of it. It says, Each time He said, my grace is sufficient for y’all… look at my Southerness. So here is what Paul said, Each time He said, my grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness. So now I am glad to boast about my weakness, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I can take pleasure in my weakness, and the insults and hardship and persecution and troubles that I suffer for Christ. When I am weak, then I am strong.(2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NLT)
And I know where that strength comes from. I know that that strength comes from the life of Christ. I know that strength comes from, and as referenced in my book The Great Exchange, it comes from an exchange of lives. It comes from an exchange of weakness for strength, my life weakness, His life strength. And I experience victory. I experience lack of shame. I’ll enter into the reality of who He is and it’s beautiful. It’s absolutely beautiful. I go into union with Him and I come out vulnerable and unashamed. I don’t have shame when I enter into His strength and allow Him to be strong in me. So I’m really celebrating this book. I would still very much love your prayers about this because I’m looking to continue to work through this and working through and develop the stories, and bring it out. I want it to be powerful. I wanted to be a man’s manual on how to overcome shame is really what I wanted to be. I’m gonna bring and pepper it with all these testimonies.
I also want to invite anyone, I’ve asked several people individually, but I would love shame stories. I would love testimonies of shame, and shames that I’ve been overcome shames that are being overcome and shames that are still current. And I’d love to receive stories about that and be able to do included in the book. I’m going through a number of different shame, shame and weakness, shames in life circumstances, body shame, character shame, all kinds of shame I’m going into. I wanna give examples of that and I’d like to give more than one example. I’d like to give a couple of examples. I’d like to pepper, literally pepper, this with stories. So that it’s not just teaching, it’s not just revelation, it’s testimony it’s living epistles overcoming shame, in the process of overcoming shame or shames that will be overcome.
So I invite anyone if you want to reach out to me and say hey, I have a shame story I’d like to share, I would love it. I would absolutely love it. So I bless y’all. I love you and I appreciate you thanks for listening. Thanks for following. Thanks for your prayers. I really, really need them as I have bring this out. It has been a lot to really come at this and face it in reality and in truth. I mean, I’ve been very, very honest with some personal shames that I have. I’ve brought in some stories about shames that I experienced in others. And then I have several testimonies of men that reached out and said please can you share this. I want to expose this and allow this shame and this shame story to bring victory and crush shame in other men’s lives. So I hope to hear from y’all, let me know if anybody wants to do that and I will be talking to you real soon.
Shame, Shame, Overcoming Shame – Episode #855 – DivineDesigned.LifeAs I am am writing about Overcoming Shame I long to help paint a realistic picture of what shame looks like and how it affects us.

Walk and talk with John Enslow
Uncovering the Naked and Unashamed Reality: How Surrendering to God’s Ways Can End Shame in Your Life
Well hey there, today I want to talk about the naked and unashamed reality that Adam and Eve experienced. As I’m writing this book on overcoming shame, I am really diving into a lot of topics and a lot of different shames. One of the shame is the shame of our nakedness. So as I have studied that with Adam and Eve and what really happened in the Garden. Adam and Eve had the experience of having no need of clothes. That literally God’s thoughts and Light were their clothing. And it was only when they were tempted to know apart from God, that they gained the shame of their nakedness. And there’s really nothing like the reality of living naked and unashamed. And this doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with clothing.
As with Adam and Eve, the concept of their nakedness was more of an internal thing than it was external thing. It was internal that this nakedness was presenting itself. There shame came from the internal, which is an amazing thought, the shame came from the internal nakedness more than their external nudity. And we live naked and unashamed in sheer vulnerability to God. Their hiding was the shame of their choice, not the exposure of their bodies. The external clothing was just a statement of their internal shame. And that to me really blows my mind, that to me is a fascinating reality.
I believe that when we go to heaven we’re not all of a sudden gonna be wearing white clothing. I think we’re gonna be wearing light. I think we’re gonna go back to the original reality of being naked and unashamed and we are literally going to be clothed with His thoughts of us and His light. That’s gonna be our clothing. And so as I’m diving into the shame and I’m looking into all of this, I’m realizing that we can, each of us can live in that reality now. And how we do that is walking open hearted with Him His ways and His mind. There is a top to bottom vulnerability on our God. And though we can’t walk around in nudity all the time, we can live completely covered by His thoughts of us. It’s a surrender to them and I’m excited about that. I’m excited about the surrender to His thoughts and to His mind and His light to cover me and cover my shame. And I ask for your prayers as I go into this writing of this book because I really really really want to have a deep impact and really be emotionally stirring. I wanted to give reality to living out of shame and living unashamed.
Shame is the most debilitating, the most crushing reality in our lives. We walk in it and it colors everything about us. Our interaction, our influence, the way we interact with others. Other people will respond to a shame rather than us. Shame is a deadly cancer that stymies our life and kills our life. And so I want to write this, and I wanted it to… my hope is to really do some thing that exposes the shame and then shows the process and the way to come out of shame because there’s so many men that I know that walk in shame, that live in shame. And I think that can end. I’m gonna be bringing a bunch of testimonies from different men about their shame. And shames that they have overcome, shames that they are overcoming, and shames that they have. I’m gonna bring all those in and I’m gonna pepper the entire manuscript with stories, with actual shame stories and I pray that it has a deep impact.
So please stand with me in prayer as I come here and I do this work and I put this thing together. I look forward to getting it in your hands and I look for the impact is gonna have on those who have struggled with shame all their life and who needs to have shame end today! I love y’all. I’ll talk to you soon.

The Great Exchange Victory in Christ
Episode #852

Walk and talk with John Enslow
Barabbas was set free for the crimes that he committed, and an innocent Man took his place (Exchanged Life in Christ).
Hey guys I just want to come real quick today and give a message about the exchanged life, as it’s seen in the story of Barabbas. So I went to an Easter service and in the service the pastor was talking about Barabbas, and he was talking about that there was an exchange of lives that was made. That Barabbas was set free for the crimes that he committed, and an innocent Man took his place (Christ). He really focused on, that the reason was that he could get out of prison. So I thought the message was amazing. I’ve never heard of Easter service that talked about Barabbas. But I feel like it did fit but I felt like there was another part of this message that was so key.
It is found in the book The Great Exchange that I wrote. I just wanted to reference this because death on the cross wasn’t just so we could be let out of prison, that we could be set free. There was something so much greater. And even though the exchange with Barabbas was a great exchange, but I wonder if Barabbas actually experience the gift, or if he simply made a locational change. A from behind bars to in front of bars, but there was no true exchange of life that was purchased for him. So did he experience the John 8:36 reality?! Which is, “So if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.” So was that freedom from prison all that Christ wanted to do in that exchange? I feel like a lot of people settle for being let out of prison, but they don’t experience the true gift that was given to us, with His exchanged life. Because that exchange is not just for freedom from prison it’s for experiencing His actual life, having Him live his life through. his resurrection was a great exchange not just for freedom but for victory—His life lives in me.
So I just want to remember the book The Great Exchange today because we have received a great exchange. If you don’t have that book, I invite you to get it I’ll put a link in the show notes here. It is a powerful book about how to actually live life, how to actually experience life, and how to live in victory. I’m always reminded of Galatians 2:20 that says. “He died for all so that those who live would not live to please themselves. But they should live to please Christ who gave His life for them, and rose again from the dead. Contextually it is my old self that has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me, so that I can live in this earthly body by trusting in the son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
I am always blown away by all that was purchased for me and I just think it’s such a tragedy if we had all these purchased, and we failed to enter into it because of unbelief because of lack of understanding. So I know that I go into depth into two from the minuscule at to the to the great and the great exchange of how to live that out and how to experience that great exchange. I do it with stories, I do it with parables, I do it with testimony, I do it with teaching. I just invite you to check it out and would love to hear what you think. So thank you again for listening and I love you and I will be back in touch real soon!

Walk and talk with John Enslow
I’m going to be able to witness His direction of the ministry, and His leading of it and His mind in it.
Yeah know, this is really amazing to me. I am having a seeing this morning that’s just impacting my heart. I constantly I’m going back to the years I spent in the field with the sheep and the goats, as a shepherd. And today I’m looking at that and I am getting the weight of a situation that’s going on right now.
So when I was a shepherd, of sheep and goats, I was out in the field and I loved those sheep and I cared for those sheep, I sacrificed for those sheep.Those sheep were my focus. And I had to be aware of them. I had to be aware of parasites, I had to be aware of dangers. I had to be aware of fencing, I had to be aware of food. I had to be aware of any spots on their body, I had to be aware of their stool. I had to be aware of all this stuff. And I really gave my life to it. It was over 10 years. I gave my life to these sheep, but they weren’t my sheep. I was doing it for another. I was doing it as a support of another’s flock. So when that man chose to sell those sheep, those sheep were sold. All this heart that I had poured into these animals didn’t matter. I was there to support and when that man wanted to sell the sheep, those sheep were sold. And that had to be, that was the way it was. He was able to direct when they were sold, when they were not sold, how much they ate, the field that they were on. He was the boss and I had to follow him and where he wanted it to go.
I’m looking at this scenario and I’m looking at the situation and I’m seeing how it’s pattern in my own life right now. And how I see that is, I have been in the support of another’s ministry for almost 30 years. That ministry was directed by them. How they wanted to go, where they wanted to go. And just like the sheep and the goats, the direction was based on their will, their design, their desire, their focus. And now the ministry has come onto me. I thought, “Oh my gosh, I am responsible! I am having to focus. I am having to do this. I am having to be the director of this.” Then this morning the Holy Spirit just so softly just came and just slowly just rubbed my face, got my attention and said, “Now your focus is Me. Now I’m going to direct you.”
And it’s not that I wasn’t directed by the Holy Spirit before, because I was. But now I get to focus on Him and His will in this. And I am really witnessing and watching Him direct this quite a part for me. I am literally following. I don’t have the big picture, I have the next couple steps maybe or maybe only the next step. And I am excited about that! Because I’m going to be able to witness His direction of it, and His leading of it and His mind in it. It’s going quite beyond me. The things that the Lord is developing and wanting me to go towards, I’m blow away. I’m going, “Really, oh my gosh!” And I’m following Him and I’m doing these things and it’s beautiful to me. It’s really really really beautiful to me.
It reminds me of Paul’s scripture about marriage. And that obviously relates to me as well being a single guy. That when you’re married you have to be focus on your wife but when you were single you can focus on the kingdom. So I want to read something from first Corinthians 7:32-35 (The Message).
I want you to live as free of complications as possible. When you’re unmarried, you’re free to concentrate on simply pleasing the Master. Marriage involves you in all the nuts and bolts of domestic life and in wanting to please your spouse, leading to so many more demands on your attention. The time and energy that married people spend on caring for and nurturing each other, the unmarried can spend in becoming whole and holy instruments of God. I’m trying to be helpful and make it as easy as possible for you, not make things harder. All I want is for you to be able to develop a way of life in which you can spend plenty of time together with the Master without a lot of distractions.
So when I read that and when I look at that, I’m seeing that the Lord has been developing around me something that is pretty amazing. That He’s wanting to be the focal point. He’s wanting to be the Director. He’s wanting to take the burden and allow me to focus on Him and His will and His doings and not on supporting another. And while it has been perfect for my life to be supportive and be a servant. That was beautiful. But I really feel like the Lord is is now saying, “I want your attention and in directions to be based on what I’m telling you to do.” That’s gorgeous! I am so excited! I am overwhelmed because it is a beautiful state of affairs. Absolutely beautiful state of affairs.
I had a number of guys in a small group that I’m in talk about that at one point I was more like a sidekick, and now the Lord is saying, I want you to be the face. I want you to be the front face. And that had been a difficult thing for me because I’ve thought m, “Do I have what it takes? Can I do this?” And as I have walked it out, I’m now seeing that the Lord is saying listen, “I’m not asking you to take the weight, I’m asking you to follow and I’m asking to be able to direct.” And I am blown away by that. I am empowered by that, I am encouraged by that, I am excited about that because this shift has led to life.
I’m really pleased that I am not having to take the weight on. I’m not having to carry the huge backpack of supplies. I am able to literally enter into this and walk as He’s directing. And that is an incredible burden release off of my heart. And while I know that is the directive for all of us, even if you are married, the scriptures say “Live as if your not”(1 Corinthians 7:29). Meaning that your focus is the kingdom, your focus is directed on the kingdom and on His direction and on His leading. And even if I am married, I am called to enter into that marriage with Him and with Him being the spouse, with Him loving my spouse through me. That’s marriage, that’s New Testament marriage is: I allow Christ’s life to love my spouse through me. I am in the adventure of life with another person and I’m able to experience this, an express this, as He lives His life through me. That’s gorgeous, that’s beautiful! Literally marriage is the stage and platform where I can experience Christ life. That I can experience with another person, and I can watch how He wants to love this other person. That He wants to minister to this other person. How He wants to be involved with this other person. That experience is beautiful.
As a single man, I am able to do the exact same thing in singleness. While being married, I wouldn’t have the ability to have as much focus, being single I have a lot more ability to focus on what He wants to do, what He saying. But there is really no difference. Whether you’re married or single He wants to direct and lead your life. That’s the exchange life, that’s The Great Exchange that we get to experience with Him.
So today I’m looking at this, I’m looking at this scenario. I’m looking at what’s happening, and I realized all of a sudden that He didn’t throw weight on me to do this, He threw an opportunity to follow Him in it. He wants to directed it, He wants to lead it, He wants to guide it, He wants me to have undivided attention on Him to perform what He wants to perform and do what He wants to do. I’m excited about that. I’m excited about that, because I am witnessing His desires, and witnessing His life, lived out and expressed. And the direction that He’s taking me has blow me away. Week after week I’m like going, “Wow, I had no idea it was gonna be like that! I had no idea You were going to do these things, that You were going to set this up this way. And I am learning how He wanted to set it up, how He wants to set it up, what He wants to do, who He wants to bring as players. And I’m like, “This is beautiful!”
So I hope this is helpful. I am impacted today by this because I’m realizing the direction that He’s taking me is leading me moment by moment where there was another person before and now it’s His voice. It’s His direction. He’s not giving me the grand scheme of things because then I would do it. I do it myself. I would run ahead. I’d be like, “Oh OK, well we can fix all this .” He didn’t want that! He’s wanting me to have my ears leaned on Him, and hearing Him, and following His direction. And that’s beautiful. That’s just beautiful. I know He want all of us to live but I am seeing it up close and personal right now, and He is painting the portrait of my life. He is displaying His idea of art and a masterpiece, and I am a witness. I am a witness of what He’s wanting to do. And I know that that’s all of us. That He’s painting in all of our lives, a beautiful portrait of Himself, and we are able to experience His expression, H is multifaceted expression in our lives as we see Him direct our daily steps and that is the Christian life. So I love you. I appreciate you and I will be back in touch very, very soon.
Trusting in God’s Direction – Episode #851 – DivineDesigned.LifeI have the weight felt responsibility for the ministry, yet the Holy Spirit reminds me that my focus is on His direction and on His leading.

Conflict in Brotherhood
Episode #850
04/02/2023
Walk and talk with John Enslow
Embracing Conflict: How Conflict in Brotherhood Can Help Us Grow and Heal
Today I want to bring you something that a brother and I were discussing and I really feel like it’s a key. We were talking about conflict in brotherhood and there was an amazing thing that was revealed. I know that conflict is never fun. I know that conflict sometimes is avoided. People will pacify things or avoid things that caused conflict, or simply just not say anything, and I end up using it as a thing to swallow, and then it turns into something that festers. That’s just never healthy and never good. And I have a different perspective on conflict today.
Conflict sometimes is the very sandbox that God is developing and working that into your life so that you can deal with things from your past. So if you have a brother who triggers something in you and there’s a problem and there’s conflict and you deal with it in that situation with that brother. It’s an amazing thing because you can sit there in that moment and it’s a safe sandbox. You’ve got a brother, you’ve got something that is controllable in this amount of time and in this amount of situation and you can deal with things that are maybe from past, from childhood or from a long time ago. And you’re able to face them and deal with them, and not only resolve the conflict in the moment, but resolve some internal conflict, and the internal story that may be in our hearts and lives.
To me it’s beautiful that the Lord will bring up over and over and over again different things that trigger us, different things that hurt us, different things that wound us. Not because He’s wanting it to be difficult on us but because He’s wanting us to face things that are holding us back. Things that are, those little mental barriers that prevent us from really entering into true freedom, and experience of the joys and the adventure of life. Because we have these things are constantly speaking against our experience of life and of Him.
So if He brings you a situation that… I know personally, I’ve been on a trip with a really good friend and we had some conflict that happened and we instead of avoiding it, instead of stuffing it, instead of resisting it, we kind of leaned into it, faced it, dealt with it in the moment. And I realize that there was something so much deeper that each of us were experiencing. There was something that was from childhood, a past wound, that had sat there so long and now this situation triggered it.
Even though the situation wasn’t exact, there were elements of it that triggered it. But it was a safe place to deal with that and when I dealt with that, and when he dealt with that, we were able to deal with something that was not only just in the moment, but also from the past. We were able to see, “Oh yeah, this is a wound I’ve been caring for a long time that I’ve not dealt with.” And the Lord and His love, and His compassion, and His desire for me to walk in wholeness and holiness, He basically created a sacred space. A sacred conflict so that I could deal with it and I could go and look at it head on with this brother.
I actually had someone to assist me in it even though he was a part of the conflict. Even though he was the triggering element of the conflict. I was able to do this with a brother. I was able to face and focus on this and with a brother. So I wasn’t doing it alone and we both were enriched and brought into a deeper place. So I don’t avoid conflict in relationship and brotherhood, because I have found that the benefit of it is usually pretty amazing.
I know another situation where I’m in a small group and in that small group there was things that were going on and I was assigning value and collecting data based on what I was hearing and seeing and I left the situation and I had my heart hurt. And so then I, instead of pushing it down, I literally said “OK, let’s deal with this!” And I brought it out to this brother and I said this is kind of how I’m feeling and we were able to resolve it. We were able to deal with it. We were able to face it. And the data that I had in my head, the story I was telling myself was actually not the story at all. There wasn’t any reality to it, and it was just because I had brought my judgments, my opinions, my wounds, my past experience to a situation and wrote a whole storyline.
So if I had not taken that storyline to that brother, if I had not taken that wound, that hurt, that situation to that brother, I would not of been able to deal with it, find out what the truth was, find out what the reality was, find out what the actual situation was. And then it was completely turned around into something really beautiful where I was vulnerable and I was being honest and then they felt that connection of the fact that I was not in defense. I was not trying to be accusatory. I was literally bringing my situation and the conflict to him and we resolved it and we grew out of it.
So I’m looking at all this in conflict, I am experiencing growth in life. And it’s been an amazing thing. So I say don’t avoid conflict with your brother. It may just be the very sandbox, the safe zone that the Lord may be developing in your life to work out some past things and some past wounds and some past hurts. And He wants it for growth and He wants to bring someone into it with you, so that you can live it through and mature and grow and develop into the man that you are supposed to be. So I love y’all, I appreciate you, thank you for listening and I will be back in touch real soon.
Conflict in Brotherhood – Episode #850 – DivineDesigned.LifeI used to think conflict in brotherhood was something to be avoided but now I see it as a safe sandbox that God uses to help us deal with past wounds and internal conflict.

The Chosen, a Sovereign Touch
Episode #849
03/26/2023
Walk and talk with John Enslow
I was watching The Chosen and there is a interaction with little James and Jesus in that, that just rang my bell.
Hey guys, I just wanted to tell you about that I saw the other day. I was watching The Chosen and I was watching episode two of season three. And there is a interaction with little James and Jesus in that, that just rang my bell. Because it is so completely connected with the message I have in the Sovereign Touch. In essence the creators of The Chosen made a little James have a physical ailment. And Jesus has a discussion with him that absolutely beautiful. Where they were talking about, how can Little James go out with this ailment with this slow walking issue that he’s got, the necessity cane in order to walk. How in the world can he go and be an element, and a vessel of Christ’s healing while he himself is not completely whole.
I think that is a dynamic, dynamic reality, because of the fact that each of us are called to be a healing vessel, to listen to the Holy Spirit, and to move in the Holy Spirit, and allow His life to flow through us. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re going to experience total wholeness. Sometimes our sufferings are the area that God makes us a superhero. I had a coach that spoke that over me the other day and I thought, wow my suffering has become my superhero strength.
And so, as I kind of reflect on the Sovereign Touch, and I reflect on with this episode of The Chosen brought forth. It was really very fascinating, because I believe that I show in the Sovereign Touch how it is out of the greatest crises of man that the most glorious life of Christ comes forth. And that is a super trust in a sovereign God. That is a dealing that is not easy. But I know that the greatest pains of man does have the potential to produce the greatest amount of glory and the greatest amount of experience of Christ. And at the same time, it is out of my woundedness and my difficulties that He is able to show Himself. I gain a tremendous amount of empathy because of being in that situation. I gave an empathy for others in that situation. My brokenness gives me empathy for those that are broken, compassion for those that are broken. And out of my wounded little boy, there emerges great healing.
I don’t wanna ruin the episode for you, but the conversation between them is so beautiful to have a discussion and there’s tears and there’s heart and there’s interaction that I believe relates to us all. That’s what I found with The Chosen. The Chosen may not be exact. I’ve never read anywhere that little James was handicapped in anyway. But what I have found is that The Chosen episodes ties my humanity with the biblical accounts of Christ’s life and the disciple’s lives. Dallas brings me into the Gospel story, because I am who they are representing, I am who they’re displaying. And they bring it into such a human level, where you see the struggles. OK no, we don’t know specifically that Peter and his wife had those struggles. But we do know humanity and we do know that, that’s the probability is high on that one.
So anyway, I’m excited that this is a demonstration of the very thing that I wrote about and I love that book (The Sovereign Touch). I absolutely love that book because not only did He write it through me, but I was able to grow and learn and experience His sovereignty over and over and over, as He was writing this in my life. I will never be the same for that. It’s absolutely beautiful to me because I need a Sovereign God. I need a God who is over everything, including the pains, the struggles in my life, as well as things I will go through in the future. So I love you I appreciate you thanks for listening and I’ll talk to you next week.

Difference Between Fantasy and Dreams
Episode #848
03/19/2023
Walk and talk with John Enslow
From fantasy to reality – embrace your dreams and live the life you were meant to lead.
Hey there, this week I want to talk about the difference between fantasy and dreams. I had in a small group this subject rise up and I had the thought that is the only difference between vision or dreams and fantasy—Hope? As you look at fantasy, fantasy of any kind, but particularly sexual fantasy, it is hopeless. Usually it is isolating and shaming. It creates a distance from our actual reality and that isolation is shaming for us.
So I am thinking, OK, because both dreams and fantasy are projections, but one has hope, one has vision. And I believe ultimately one’s from God and ones just from self, for self. Our connection with a reality and a direction is hopeful, it’s beautiful. It’s how we get from here to there. We see! Without vision the people perish, but when you have that vision, it has an energy and a power. And if it’s from the Lord, He performs it. It’s beautiful! It’s an amazing thing but fantasy is self consuming. Fantasy is a conjuring for self. Fantasy is consumption. And that is inward and it implodes rather than explodes.
I love the fact that when you have dreams and hopes and you plan for those dreams in hopes that you actually explode into life. Dreams carry passion, dreams carry zeal, where fantasies just carry lust. And it pushes reality away rather than makes it. Dreams make reality. Isn’t that beautiful?! Dreams, our dreams can make a reality, vision, purpose, plans, direction. Setting forth to do what we know we’re called to do and want to do. It’s beautiful and it’s life-giving and the Holy Spirit can lead us in that and we can have that teeming source of energy in our chest, which just carries us through. It gives us purpose and gives us great pleasure to know that we have a direction that is going forward.
Fantasy is usually in the darkness. Dreams can build a kingdom, the kingdom of God. Where fantasy digs a cavern that we just fall into. The problem with the fantasy is it demands from us. It demands more and more and more and more. There may be a whole mess of reasons why we do that. We may be coping with a bad situation in our life or simply just filling the time. But fantasy is implosively negative. It is a continual suck down, and it continually demands more and more and more were dreams give and give and give. Give life, give life to others around you. When we have dreams that usually incorporates people, it incorporates our families, our friends, our coworkers. Dreams are inclusive and they’re contagious. Fantasy, is just exclusive of others. It doesn’t bring anyone in there. It’s our own secret darkness.
So I love this subject. I love this topic because in life I am looking to develop the designs, the desires and the purposes of men, so that they can move forward and they can be who they were created to be that they can they can explode with life for their families for their friends, and for the coworkers. For everyone they touch, literally feels the energy of the dreaming life, the designed life, the connection with who we were created to be. When we don’t have a vision of who were created to be, when we were in the dark night, that soul sucking vacuum of not being able to see, we boil it down to the fantasy. It just becomes self consumption. It becomes a consuming life rather than a producing life.
So I just wanted to bring this to you today and bless you with the fact that this is our plan, this is God‘s plan for our life is that we would live a life of dreams. That we would live a life of vision. That we would live a life of purpose and connecting with our design. That is gorgeous! That is life-giving and life sustaining and connecting. So I love y’all and I appreciate you. I hope this was helpful to you. It’s just these thoughts that come through I’m like wow that is an amazing reality. So God bless you. I love you and I’ll talk to you soon.
Difference Between Fantasy and Dreams – Episode #848 – DivineDesigned.LifeIs the difference between fantasy and dreams simply hope? The is a call to take the action towards living a more fulfilling life.

Love is the Answer to Cold Love!
Episode #847
03/12/2023
Walk and talk with John Enslow
Often men in the body of Christ, feel more rejected than they do loved.
Hey guys, I’m just processing a lot of things right now and I just wanted to bring them to you and open them up to you. I’m processing the nature of love in God and cold love. I’m gonna be going over in the blog about cold love because I feel like cold love is the antithesis of actual love, and quite a part from our own design. So, if we were made in the image of God and God is love, then that means that you and I are LOVE. That literally for us to be in hatred, we have to be counter to our making, our design. We have to literally oppose who we are to hate.
When I think of cold love I think of hatred. It’s diabolical because it fuels our fear of rejection and cold love is bone chilling. And “the love of most will grow cold in the last days.” I feel like that is the temptation. Is to come into the satanic order of things and gain cold love. Cold love is selfish, cold love is self-consumed, cold love is self protective, cold love is reserving, cold love communicates rejection and abandonment. Cold love is horrible. And as I’m pursuing understanding love and understanding what love really looks like, I know that it’s Him. It’s connected, it’s attunement, it’s self sacrificing, it’s deeply affirming. So I am I’m really excited. I’m just excited because I am looking to enter into loving brotherhood and experience that in the body of Christ.
I know that a lot of men in the body of Christ, feel more rejected than they do loved. And we fear as men making ourselves vulnerable, of bringing our hearts out and expressing love and affection. Because will be judged or will be manipulated or it’s too emotionally vulnerable. But it’s the very thing that we need as men. We need love. We need that connection and we yearn for it and we long for it. And what I saw on the weekend that I just had with the guys was just men who wanted to experience brotherly love. Wanted to experience connection. Want to experience acceptance. They wanted to experience body life. The body of Christ functioning together, and that isn’t a safe love and that isn’t a comfortable love. That‘s a open hearted and love in an open hearted expression. So as I’m just looking at cold love, and I am looking at the temptation of Satan to make us separated, isolated. I realize that he’s working on us to make us further and further apart and resistant to the order of love, which is God.
The other side of it is to get it for yourself. To extracted from others so that it’s for you. Ultimately, it’s never for you. It’s never for me. It’s ultimately for Him. And as we love in Him, we experience body love with each others. But the focus is Him. And so it’s tricky, it’s risky, it’s vulnerable because I have to know that I am literally going and focusing on Him, His love and let the letting Him expressed that love through me. And it’s very hard, it’s intoxicating, that love is beautiful and all of a sudden your like (gobble). All your lack of love in your childhood, in your life, all of a sudden you want to fill those holes with that love for yourself. But I’m seeing that, that’s not how we necessarily fulfill that love we fulfill that love by our focus on Him, our connection with Him, our love of Him and are allowing Him to love our brothers and sisters in the body of Christ, which is absolutely beautiful.
I’m excited to experience it, to express it, to discover it. And I may not do it perfectly, but I am purposing to be present, to make myself available for love’s connection, for love’s purpose, for love’s design. And yes, it’s going to be risky but I know that He’s holding me and He’s holding my heart and He will perform what He wants to perform and do what he wants to do. I will witness LOVE coming out of me like a fountain. And as I make those connections, I will enjoy and drink deeply in the body of Christ. So I bless you each of you and love you and thank you for following this podcast. I ask for the Holy Spirit to keep each of us as we experience His love as we expressed His love, and as we discover is loving nature in our bodies in our beings in our lives. Thank you for listening.
