This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast.
1:13
I'm your host, Kyle Thompson.
1:15
Let's get into it.
1:16
Then God said, let us make man in our image after our likeness and let them have dominion
1:21
over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens
1:23
and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing
1:27
that creeps on the earth.
1:28
That's Genesis 1, 26.
1:30
And then Isaiah 62, 6.
1:32
On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen all the day and all the night.
1:37
They shall never be silent.
1:39
So guys, it is dominion season again.
1:41
If you're not familiar with that, which a lot of you probably won't be
1:43
because we get a bunch of new followers and subscribers every month.
1:46
We're very, very thankful for you.
1:48
But if we go back in the Wayback Machine to 2024,
1:51
we announced the launch of a new discipleship coaching program called Dominion.
1:55
And so essentially the reason why we launched this program is because for years,
2:00
I heard from guys like you that are like,
2:01
hey, I've watched all the podcasts.
2:04
You know, I've listened to the podcast.
2:06
I've done the devotionals.
2:07
I've seen you speak live.
2:08
I put some of the stuff in to practice.
2:11
But I need help.
2:12
I need help in my city, in my household.
2:16
I need to create a foxhole.
2:18
I need to improve my foxhole.
2:19
I need help.
2:21
Not just generic help, which has been great, but something more specific.
2:25
And so since we launched Undaunted Life in 2016, I've heard stuff like that.
2:30
And I've literally had thousands of interactions with men all over the globe.
2:34
And I'm getting the same comments.
2:36
And I still get those comments to this day, even with the Dominion program out there.
2:39
But it's the same comments over and over and over.
2:43
It's like, I know God should be steering this thing,
2:46
but I just can't figure out how to hand off the wheel, right?
2:49
I used to have fire.
2:51
Somewhere between responsibilities and the routine, that fire went out.
2:55
My body's sending me signals right now.
2:57
I keep ignoring the signals.
2:59
I keep ignoring my body, not because I don't care,
3:01
but because everything else just won't stop demanding my attention.
3:04
I've been doing life without real brotherhood for so long,
3:08
I've almost convinced myself that I don't need one, right?
3:11
Every time I fall short with my family,
3:13
I tell myself and I tell them that I'll do better.
3:15
And then I don't.
3:16
And that cycle is just kind of wearing me out.
3:18
But there's no really, there's no way around it, right?
3:21
You know, I've walked out of more churches than I can count,
3:24
feeling like they weren't built for a man like me.
3:26
So I stopped walking in altogether.
3:29
The world is rotting and I'm angry about it.
3:31
But anger without a target.
3:33
And it's just, you know, a plan that's eating me alive.
3:36
Like I'm just angry in all kinds of different directions.
3:39
And then guys are like, hey, Kyle, the content's been good.
3:41
Like I've liked it.
3:43
But good isn't what I'm after anymore.
3:45
I need something that actually goes somewhere.
3:49
And guys, look.
3:50
There are a lot of guys hoping that things are going to change.
3:53
And you've probably heard this before.
3:55
You should know this.
3:56
Hope is not a plan.
3:58
And that's why we launched Dominion.
4:00
And so guys, if you're listening to this on time as of today,
4:04
applications for Teams 9 and beyond.
4:06
I can't believe it, man.
4:07
When we did Team 1, I was like, is this thing going to be a thing?
4:10
And now here we are working on Teams 9 and beyond.
4:13
You can go to undaunted.live slash dominion.
4:15
That's the website.
4:16
Or you can go to the show notes, undaunted.life slash dominion.
4:20
And so just to introduce this to you guys even a little bit further,
4:24
and maybe even a reintroduction for some of you guys that have heard this before.
4:27
So for a lot of guys, it feels like you're running on empty, okay?
4:32
So your walk with God has gone quiet.
4:34
You can kind of feel that.
4:35
Your mind is kind of scattered and cluttered and struggling to really lock in.
4:40
It's kind of all over the place.
4:42
Your body isn't where it needs to be.
4:43
Your fitness isn't where it needs to be.
4:45
And you know it.
4:45
You can feel it, right?
4:47
And the loneliest part is that you're carrying all of that without a single man beside you.
4:53
Certainly not a foxhole full of men, right?
4:56
And you can see the gap between who you are and who you're supposed to be,
5:00
and you just can't seem to close that gap.
5:03
So that's exactly why Dominion exists.
5:06
So this is a private, high-commitment discipleship program
5:10
designed to transform men of faith like you
5:13
into the leaders, the fathers, the warriors, the husbands
5:16
that God has called you to be, right?
5:19
So inside Dominion, you're gonna get really,
5:21
now we can say it's field-tested and time-tested.
5:24
It's a strategy where you will have a band of brothers
5:27
that will not let you quit on yourself or on the program.
5:30
And you're gonna have a clear mission that moves you out of survival mode,
5:33
which a lot of you are living in right now,
5:35
and move you into your calling.
5:37
So you're gonna work the process,
5:39
and your faith will become unshakable if you work the process.
5:43
Your mind will lock in if you work the process.
5:45
Your body will follow that if you work the process.
5:48
And you will begin taking ground in every area of your life.
5:53
I'm serious, okay?
5:54
And then, you know, if you walk away from an opportunity like this,
5:58
you'll just continue to drift, right?
6:00
It'll be another year older, and then another year softer,
6:03
and then another year further from the man your family needs you to be.
6:07
And so for a lot of you guys, this is your moment.
6:09
You've been looking for a wake-up call.
6:11
This is your moment.
6:12
So you can stay comfortable, or you can take dominion.
6:17
And let's just say these initial teams have really seen some tremendous life changes.
6:21
So right now, again, we're wrapping up teams six, seven, and eight.
6:25
And without getting into individual stories and all that,
6:28
you've had guys that have saved their marriages.
6:30
You've had guys that had children that went prodigal
6:33
that are now back in the fold.
6:34
You've had guys that were struggling in their area of business,
6:38
their area of work, and they've turned that around.
6:40
You've had guys that, you know, they worked out here and there,
6:42
and they kind of did some diets here and there, but they weren't consistent.
6:45
That for years now, they've been consistent.
6:47
They've been seeking the Lord through prayer, through Bible study.
6:51
They're catechizing their children.
6:53
They're the head of their household for the first time in their entire marriage, right?
6:57
They're acting like the head of their household,
6:58
and their wife has kind of gotten more into the helpmate-made-fit-for-him role.
7:03
And they're both together raising up their children
7:06
in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
7:08
All these things have happened,
7:09
not because Dominion's some sort of magical program.
7:12
It's because it gave guys permission to finally lock in and take care of business, okay?
7:16
So over the next couple of weeks, starting this Friday,
7:19
and then throughout the next couple of weeks,
7:20
you're gonna be hearing from some of the guys.
7:21
You're gonna be hearing from some of the recent team guys.
7:24
You're also gonna be hearing from a wife from the Dominion program,
7:28
from one of our Team One guys.
7:30
And so there's gonna be a tremendous amount of information given to you.
7:34
And again, one thing you'll notice about these guys
7:36
is it's kind of all over the place, right?
7:39
You have guys that are a little bit older,
7:40
guys that are a little bit younger,
7:41
guys that aren't married yet,
7:42
guys that have been married for decades.
7:44
And no matter what spot in life you're in,
7:47
all of these guys found themselves in that same spot that I described earlier.
7:51
Something was off, something was missing,
7:54
and they needed to put a supercharger on this thing
7:56
and really finally lock in.
7:58
And that's what the program has done for them.
8:00
And you're gonna hear from them here soon.
8:02
And here's the thing.
8:03
Ultimately, we need more Watchmen on the wall, right?
8:06
So we have a program, our alumni program for Dominion is called Watchmen, right?
8:10
You can't be in Watchmen unless you've done the entire Dominion program.
8:13
We need more guys like that that are equipped to push back darkness,
8:17
that are equipped to cultivate spiritual, mental, and physical resilience
8:21
on a daily basis and in their community,
8:24
in community with other men.
8:26
And that's what this program helps you to do.
8:27
So again, the application website is now live.
8:30
It is live.
8:31
The link will be in the show notes.
8:32
Or again, you can just go to www.undaunted.life slash Dominion,
8:37
undaunted.life slash Dominion.
8:39
So it's gonna redirect you to a page to put in your application.
8:42
So it's not a very long application.
8:43
We just need to get an idea of who you are.
8:46
If we like your application,
8:47
you're gonna get a chance to interview for the program.
8:49
The interview is going to be with me.
8:51
And so applications will be reviewed
8:52
and interviews will be set on a first come first serve basis, okay?
8:56
So if you want in this program, I'm telling you,
8:59
do not wait to put in your application.
9:02
This has happened the last two cycles.
9:04
Guys kind of waited, they hemmed and hawed
9:06
and I'll get around to it and I'll figure it out later
9:08
and blah, blah, blah.
9:09
And then all the interview slots are gone, okay?
9:11
Every time we've opened this up,
9:12
every interview slot has been taken, okay?
9:14
And so it's probably gonna happen again.
9:17
Lord willing, it'll happen again
9:19
because we have guys that are just dying
9:20
to get into this program.
9:21
They've seen the benefits from it.
9:23
So we wanna make sure that that is available to them.
9:25
But again, it is first come first serve basis.
9:28
If you don't get into the interview process,
9:29
you will be put into the backlog.
9:32
You'll be put into the wait list for the next go round
9:35
because we only need to open this up twice a year, okay?
9:38
These are six month programs, right?
9:40
And so we only open up the applications twice a year.
9:43
So the deadline for this tranche
9:45
or this set of applications is Thursday, May the 28th
9:49
at 5 p.m. Central Standard Time.
9:51
Again, Thursday, May the 28th.
9:52
So interviews are the first week of June.
9:54
And I'm just gonna tell you guys,
9:55
if y'all wait until Thursday, May the 28th
9:57
and you're sitting there that afternoon
9:59
getting your application in,
10:00
I'm telling you, you're probably gonna go
10:01
right to the wait list
10:02
because all the interview slots are taken.
10:04
Get your applications in.
10:06
So you might be wondering why an application exactly?
10:10
Like why this high level of commitment?
10:12
I mean, you're talking about an investment
10:14
of time, energy, and capital.
10:16
And ultimately the reason is,
10:17
is because most men don't change their life
10:19
unless they take really a hard left turn, right?
10:22
I mean, most men aren't gonna change their life
10:24
by doing some sort of like $30 a month app
10:27
or even like a free app
10:29
or like a weekend course or something like that
10:31
that cost them a few hundred bucks like that.
10:32
That's not what we're looking for here.
10:34
Guys aren't turning their lives around in a weekend.
10:36
That's just not really how it works for most guys.
10:39
And the thing is this,
10:40
I'm not looking for interested men.
10:42
There's a lot of men that are interested
10:44
in the Dominion program
10:45
and we're thankful for your interest,
10:47
but interest doesn't move you, right?
10:49
I'm looking for invested men
10:52
because guys, you can be mediocre for free.
10:54
You know that.
10:55
You've been mediocre for a long time, a lot of you.
10:58
You've never invested in yourself and your development.
11:01
And so why would you start now?
11:03
Well, it's because some of you need to, right?
11:05
I mean, for me, I'm looking for killers.
11:07
I'm looking for men who bleed what they believe, okay?
11:11
Like I'm looking for guys that are just dogged, right?
11:13
I mean, the kind of guys that hit the ground running
11:15
before the rest of the world wakes up
11:17
or maybe you wanna be that kind of guy
11:19
and you just haven't really kicked it into that gear yet.
11:21
Like I'm looking for brothers who are for real.
11:23
Like not guys that talk a good game, right?
11:26
But men who actually show up and do the work
11:29
that they say they wanna get better and they mean it.
11:31
They just need a little bit of guidance.
11:33
So, I mean, honestly, if you're listening to this right now
11:35
or if you're watching this,
11:36
if you're the kind of guy who says,
11:37
yeah, well, you know, that sounds cool.
11:39
Like maybe I'll think about it later.
11:40
I'm just gonna be honest with you.
11:42
Dominion's not for you, okay?
11:44
This is not like a maybe sort of kind of program, okay?
11:46
This is a commitment program.
11:48
And this is an exclusive brotherhood, right?
11:50
Because I'm hand selecting the right number of men
11:53
for teams nine and beyond.
11:55
And again, these are men that are ready to sweat.
11:57
They're ready to grind it out.
11:59
They wanna become top tier leaders, husbands, fathers.
12:02
They wanna be warriors for Christ.
12:04
And they just need some guidance.
12:06
They need a team of guys to do it with, okay?
12:08
And to be honest, if filling out a short application
12:11
and committing to invest in your own growth
12:13
feels like too much, like that's okay.
12:16
Dominion just isn't your fight.
12:17
It's just not for you.
12:18
It's just not what you should be doing.
12:20
But for the men who do step up,
12:23
for the ones who say I'm in,
12:24
for the ones that actually mean it,
12:26
like I'm not gonna waste your time
12:27
with some sort of empty hype, right?
12:28
That's not really my style.
12:30
So I'll just get straight to it.
12:32
You will be sharpened.
12:34
You will grow.
12:35
And for the first time, for some of you in a long time,
12:38
you'll look in the mirror
12:39
and you will recognize the man staring back at you.
12:42
It'll be a godly man, a godly husband, a godly father.
12:46
And you're gonna see the man
12:48
that you were always supposed to be.
12:50
You will take Dominion.
12:52
So guys, applications open now.
12:55
Undaunted.life slash Dominion.
12:57
Get your applications in soon
12:58
and sign up for your interview spots.
13:00
