Man, where are you? At the dawn of humanity, God asked Adam that critical question, and it's the same question He asks every man today. In this message from Genesis 3:8–12, Pastor Phil Hopper explains why Adam hid among the trees, blamed his wife, and what God wanted instead: a man who would own his choices. Pastor Phil also looks at Ezekiel 22:30, where God sought a man to stand in the gap but found no one. There is no move of God without men of God, and that starts with men who are willing to lead. This episode will challenge you to stop hiding, reject passivity, and answer God's call with courage, because you can't play the victim if you belong to the Victor. --Find Your Next Step ⤵https://abundant-life.com/get-involved/whats-next/next-steps/ Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus? ⤵https://abundant-life.com/resources/who-is-jesus-to-you/ Connect With Us ⤵• Facebook: https://facebook.com/abundantlifels• Instagram: https://instagram.com/abundantlifels• Website: https://abundant-life.com Connect With Pastor Phil On Social Media ⤵• Facebook: www.facebook.com/philhopperkc• Instagram: www.instagram.com/philhopperkc Listen to The Well Podcast⤵• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2 Watch More Sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/  Get additional teaching to go with sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?
