How incredible do you think Jesus felt to hear his Father show love, affirmation and respect?
God said it wasn’t good for man to be alone. While this example is popular for marriage lessons, I want to expand it to talk about social media.
I reached out to my closest and most trusted brothers in Christ and asked them to join me bringing the best men’s workshop directly to you. April 6 and 7, 2020, we’re hosting over 20 top influencers from pastors to firefighters. It’s completely free and only for men.
I used to suck it up and go about my days in hopes of the effects lessening or that I wouldn’t do something to myself in those darkest moments of grief and despair over the conflicting feelings brought about by another of those anniversaries.
Our hopes, dreams, value and personal footprint becomes easily blown away, and thus we become disposable.
Maybe it’s because I’ve also spent the last many years with church bodies that look like everyone just crawled off of the battlefield, and were praising God for the chance to get right back out there to fight for others.
Staff men’s ministries with volunteers of actual men who’ve messed up more in life than leaving a dog-eared copy of the latest men’s grooming magazine on the counter.
People influence who we are and who we become. If you want to become a better person, you need better friends. Why? Because you will begin to adapt the habits and practices of those guys you spend time with.
My Jesus was an American Jesus. I loved Him, and was happy that others in the world got to know about Him, but the truth was, He belonged to America. In my mind’s eye, Jesus carried Old Glory and rode a screaming bald eagle across the sky.
Stumbling through life from circumstance to happenstance is how too many of us men fumble through life. Without purpose or intention, we become victims of everyone’s whim while trying to avoid the thorns and wondering what happened to the palms.
Then I began to dig deeper into the previous generations by recording the same dynamics. Soon, I had created a family tree of truth.
Procrastination is sometimes just the fear of taking the next step. You think you’re stuck until you realize you just haven’t made the decision to move.
Brothers, that doubt is from darkness. Look to the Light of Christ & those old alibis that keep you shackled will shatter to your feet!
Live Your Life With Purpose
You are no accident. God created you with His intention for a very special purpose.
My oldest brother sent me an email. It broke my heart. He’s not far from 70 years old. He, like me and […]
What did Bathsheba’s husband do to deserve being set up and murdered? Nothing. But King David’s sexual sin caused innocent blood to spill. Who are we hurting when we sin?
Be intentional in your decisions. God gives us power to choose life, real real, so let’s make an intentional effort to choose wisely – choose life.
Pursue out of love, not personal preference!
Do you feel like Daniel in the lion’s den? If so, there is no fear of the beasts. God will protect you and bless you even in your darkest times.
God is going to bless you, but you must become the vessel to receive that blessing.
Patience – Purposeful – Intentional
What Is God Trying To Say To You This Year? Start the year out with purpose and intentionality in everything you do.
Two words God gave me for 2019 are Purposeful and Intentional. You may grow tired of hearing them, but I know they were meant for you too.
The frenzy to make resolutions is more about traditions than realistic expectation to uphold the silent pledge just before the stroke of midnight.
Many religions no longer feed the masculine soul of a man. Why? Because the shift toward single moms and grandparents raising their progeny has tilted the church’s focus toward our wonderful sisters.
It wasn’t their choice—it was our absence.
Power to the People (God’s People) I often wonder how many men who finally drop their hard exterior to accept the free […]
Having to explain what you did, why you did it and how it is that you now have peace because of what you did placed the relationship in a bind, but friendship reset the balance.
“I stopped living the same year over and over again, and started taking control of my life by using the very truths I’m sharing with you.” Dr. Scott Silverii for Five Stones University.
As a young kid, I thought it was fantastic, and had visions of Stabler, Staubach, Bradshaw, Manning (Archie) and Tarkenton. In reality, it was a horrible idea to allow a 13 year old to go unsupervised. The score reflected it.
I never knew the depths of true brotherhood until connecting on a spiritual level that had nothing to do with your rank or how many arrests you made.
So if we walk among those who stir strife and darkness, how do you think that affects you? I believe in this:
“Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future.”
It’s easy and comfortable to force friendships from acquaintances, but God is calling His army together just as He assembled for King David’s rule.
A study showed that the number of close friends in 1985 was 3, while by 2004 it was zero. The number of people without any close friends in 1985 was 36%, and in 2004 it was 53.4%.
What makes us a good man, or a better man than who we were, is our pursuit of the example of the best man. Our Father is the ultimate alpha male.
Sometimes we find ourselves so mired down in the muck of denial, that even the most shining truth is missed. Then we dig down deep to dredge up some tired old excuse that we’ve used as a crutch time and time again.
David may not have been perfect, but his heart for God sure was. Don’t allow others to define your worship, or your relationship with God. He created us to know us in a very unique and special way.
The Warrior’s Marriage: Our 4 Deepest Needs 1. Acceptance – “I am loved and accepted for who I am.” (Romans 8:35-39) • […]
This is satan giving us an impossible laundry list of things we can’t do without Christ. We’re looking for a way around Jesus. Focus on Christ, and He’ll take care of the rest.
God also wants you to know that He goes before you to make way no matter what you’re facing or just fearing.
It empowers you to be strong, hold your ground and never even consider the possibilities of defeat.
God doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called.
This is going to be a no-holds barred conversation with men about men for strengthening our roles as the head of the family.
