I'm fired up about what God is doing in men worldwide through the CMN brotherhood. Pastors and leaders in nations like Egypt, Indonesia, and Peru are discipling men every single day with CMN resources. That’s what happens when we invest in building strong men! We often get investments backward. God's economy works differently. In Jeremiah 29:7, we read, "Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I've carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper." Instead of waiting to receive blessing before we give it, God has called...

Years ago, I was fishing near Bishop, California, with my friends Ron and Dave. Dave and I were caught up in catching fish and wandered far down a creek, away from camp. We didn't notice as twilight fell, then darkness. Soon, we were lost. Back at camp, Ron knew we were in trouble. He climbed on a rock with a Coleman lantern and kept waving it, minute after minute. When I looked up and finally saw that light, it felt like the best thing I'd ever seen. Our friend’s light guided us back. Everyone sometimes gets into the wilderness in...

Life gets complicated. Pressure builds. Obstacles hit. A voice whispers, "Just give up." But…  you're not built to quit. You're built to win. The Spirit of God within you has already won the victory and will lead you into victory. Sometimes the key is just a matter of habit. Your daily walk.

From their answers, I've learned that endurance, grit, tenacity, and faith are core ingredients in the hearts of men who walk through some of life's toughest battles. But these qualities aren't accidental - they're intentional. These are the qualities...

Have you ever asked, What's my story? It’s important because your identity is the story you tell yourself about yourself. The voice in your head tells you who you are and the size of your capacity. But is it speaking the truth? The height of a building is fully predicated on the depth and strength of its foundation. A foundation build on bedrock will stand the test of time. Men too often are shackled to past mistakes we can’t shake. Worse, we tend to allow other people to write our stories. At CMN, we teach, “If you allow others to...

As we approach Easter, let’s review our core beliefs. Two beliefs change the way we live: 1. What we believe about God 2. How we define ourselves. Paul wrote in Romans 12:2, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” That means, if you want to change your life, you have to change the way you think. Motivational speakers have preached that truth ever since. First, what do you believe about God? Scripture states: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God...
