I was recently out in the forest and looked at my phone and it said, “No Service”. I hate it when my phone shows “No Service” or “Searching”. What an inconvenience and disruption, to be disconnected. I mean come on…we have Elon Musk now…how come we can’t get cell service everywhere?

But as I sat there with my phone “disconnected”, it got me thinking about what it means for a man to be disconnected. When guys feel like they’re “disconnected in life,” it usually means they’re feeling out of touch or detached from what’s happening around them.

It might look like feeling lost or not having a clear sense of direction or purpose, making life feel aimless or confusing. It might feel like you’re not connecting with your own emotions or with the people around you.

Disconnected guys might feel lonely or cut off from friends and family, and when that happens we take our ball and go home. We stop engaging or showing up in life, feeling like we don’t belong. Which leads to a lack of engagement in daily responsibilities, making everything seem less meaningful.

But even worse than that is when guys disconnect from self. We begin to struggle to understand our own needs, desires, or identity, feeling unsure about who we are or what we want. We struggle to find meaningful connections or purpose.

Ya. maybe that’s what you feel right now. Here’s the thing. When I was in the woods with a disconnected phone showing “no service”, I noticed something else. Next to the “no service” display was another display that said “SOS”. Something in my phone knew where to get help.

Listen men, God is saying to those who are disconnected there is an “SOS” available for you. God is waiting to help you connect again.

John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you connect to me and I will connect to you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing”.

Join us on this episode as we deal with the disconnected man.
