I used to love to play the video game Mike Tyson punch out. What a great storyline. You played as “Little Mac”. He’s a young, aspiring boxer trying to make a name for himself. Your opponents were a list of characters that were all unique.

Come on you remember them.

Glass Joe – The first opponent, known for his poor record and easy-to-defeat style. He’s a French boxer with a glass jaw.

Von Kaiser – A German boxer who is slightly more challenging than Glass Joe but still relatively easy to beat.

Piston Honda – A Japanese boxer with a powerful punch and a distinctive, fast-paced fighting style.

Don Flamenco – A Spanish boxer with a flamboyant style and a tendency to taunt his opponents.

King Hippo – A large, Hawaiian boxer with a unique strategy and a notable weak spot.

Great Tiger – An Indian boxer who uses mystical illusions, including disappearing and reappearing during the fight.

Bald Bull – A Turkish boxer known for his powerful Bull Charge attack.

Soda Popinski – A Russian boxer with a penchant for drinking soda and a strong punch.

Mr. Sandman – A tough, heavy-hitting boxer known for his powerful moves and his intimidating presence.

Bring back memories? But then after you defeated all of them, you finally got to fight Mike Tyson. The final and most challenging opponent, he’s known for his incredibly fast and powerful punches. To beat him you had to learn his patterns. In case you forgot, here is how to do it. Dodge Early: In the first 90 seconds, focus on dodging Tyson’s attacks. Use the left and right dodges to avoid his punches. Wait for Openings: After dodging his punches, look for openings to land your own punches. Land Star Punches: As you successfully dodge and counterattack, you’ll earn stars. Use these stars for powerful punches. Manage Your Stamina: While dodging Tyson’s attacks, make sure not to get too aggressive and take unnecessary hits. Replay the Fight: The more you practice, the better you’ll become at reading Tyson’s patterns and dodging his punches. Finally, you win.

But the problem was as soon as you beat Tyson, the game wasn’t fun anymore. What took so long to figure out was now easy, and you could beat him every time. The challenge was gone. Isn’t that how life is for so many men? The challenge is gone and you feel like you are playing them same level every day.

Yet there is a passage in which Jesus asks a blind man in Luke 18 “What do you want me to do for you?”. Basically, Jesus is asking the man, “What do you really want in life?”. That’s a tough question for men to answer. Join us on this episode as we have a very messy conversation about what dreams we really have as Jesus is calling us to be a “Dreamcaster” again.
