How Real Men Change The World

Like the small seed of a giant oak tree. Legacy starts small. He was just a lost boy living in a garage in Santa Monica. Then, Jesus.

What happens when God gets hold of a California surfer?

Entire cities change.

I just wrapped up our latest podcast with Robert Barriger (https://cmn.men/pages/bravemen) , —and this conversation will light a fire in you. This is what gets my heart fired up!

Robert's story begins during the Jesus Revolution when America was divided over culture and war. One encounter with Christ took him from a lost teen riding waves in Southern California to building Camino de Vida, a church that's helping to lead transformation throughout Latin America.

Think about that. One man saying yes to God's call.

In Lima, Peru—a place many write off with negative headlines—Robert and his wife Karyn have shaped a movement that's raising up men who lead like Jesus: with strength and servant hearts, with vision and commitment.

Here's what struck me hardest: The world doesn't need men who succeed at work but fail at home.

Robert is tackling the father wounds, trafficked children, thrown-away wives of generations by building a brotherhood where men mentor each other, challenge each other, and complete (not compete with) each other.

That's the heartbeat of what CMN does. Because when a man changes, everything changes.

While the culture keeps pushing lies about what makes a man, Robert's growing community of strong, godly men is showing what happens when men embrace their God-given identity: families heal, communities transform, and nations change.

Remember this: When a man is discipled in Christ, it changes everything.

Commit to three small things:

1. Listen to this episode today (https://cmn.men/pages/bravemen)

2. Identify one young man you can encourage this week

3. Get into a men's group, or get one started (contact office@christianmensnetwork.com and we'll show you how)

LIke the small seed of the giant oak - this will grow a legacy.

Thank you for being part of this global movement of men who are declaring a new standard for manhood--and that standard is Christlikeness.

Because the Jesus Revolution isn't just history—it's happening right now through our CMN brotherhood across the world.
