In this moving episode of The Jesus People Podcast, Jamie Carrington shares how living with SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) formed a life of radical dependence on people and on Jesus, and why that dependence is the very heart of biblical masculinity.
We dive into meekness vs. weakness, freedom from pornography, anxiety and contentment in a metrics-driven culture, the gift of singleness and obedience, and a father’s sacrificial love that redefines “provider.” Jamie’s story is a powerful reminder that God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.
Key Highlights:
Debunking culture’s myths about manhood; why meekness = strength under God’s control
SMA testimony: learning daily dependence and finding God’s presence in vulnerability
Porn recovery: fasting, Psalm 23, accountability, and why the urge doesn’t just “vanish”
Social media pressures: comparison, views, and Ryan’s 2 daily success metrics (seek first + serve the least)
Singleness, obedience, and contentment when outcomes don’t look like the “movie ending”
Sacrificial fatherhood: a countercultural picture of provision, love, and leadership
Anxiety → trust: practicing dependence on God in big moves and small moments
If you’re wrestling with identity, masculinity, addiction, anxiety, or loneliness, Jamie’s testimony points to real hope in Jesus, power in weakness, joy in dependence, and purpose in serving others.
