Yesterday I stood on Mars Hill—the Areopagus—where Paul spoke to the leaders and philosophers of Athens in Acts 17. Right there, across from the Parthenon, in the intellectual center of the culture, Paul stood up and declared: “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth.” — Acts 17:24 He didn’t retreat from culture. He walked straight into the middle of it. No fear. No backing off. The day before, I was in ancient Corinth, standing near the Bema, the public platform in the heart of the marketplace where civic decisions were...

“Two are better than one,” the Bible says, because when one falls, the other lifts him up. That's wisdom. Sometimes the disaster is a marriage under pressure, a son drifting away, a private temptation, a business failure, a diagnosis, a grief you cannot outrun. In those moments, a man needs brothers at his side. Men who prepare for disaster are told to keep a BOB—a bug-out bag—ready at all times. Water. Fire. Food. Tools. First aid.

None of us wakes up in the morning hoping to mess it all up. We want to stay bold in our faith, strong for our family and friends, righteous in our daily life, and stalwart in our integrity.

A few men talked casually in the gilded, high-ceilinged hallway of London’s Palace of Westminster. One saw William walking their way. “Oh no, here he comes,” he said in a hushed tone. “He just won't quit,” the other whispered. William Wilberforce was relentless. He was bold. In 1785, at age 26, Williams received Christ while occupying a seat in the halls of Parliament. As a member, he was personally mentored by the abolitionist John Newton, author of the hymn Amazing Grace. Williams soon became an advocate against slavery. And then he became unstoppable. For years, he roamed the halls of...

Paul told Timothy, "Endure hardship, preach Jesus, finish the mission." (2 Tim 4:7) If we want a world reached for Jesus, we must have a heart forged for mission. This is the atmosphere and passion of Lions Roar 2026. "Filled with His Spirit - Forged for the Mission." The Early Church was in the throes of terrible persecution and cultural chaos ... and in the midst of that they prayed, "God, listen to the threats, and grant your servants great boldness in preaching." Then the room shook where they were praying, "They were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke...
