Manhood is in Crisis - Someone Has to Stand Up
At the extreme moment of conflict, what you have trained for, is how you will react. In the middle of a chaotic culture in crisis, our response comes from the heart, what we have trained for. Do you fight or turn away? Do you run to the battle or run from the fight? In the Word, to "RUN" is a metaphor that teaches a man strength, discipline, endurance, patience, faith, encouragement, and hope. These are the characteristics of victorious athletes, and they must be the core character traits of men who would be champions. Culture-changers. Men who make a difference....
