A man in front of me had a T-shirt on, “Jesus is King.” Gave him a fist bump. We moved on, and I wondered how many others knew what that really meant. For you and me, it’s central to our faith - and the strength, courage, and hope we carry as men. The bible is replete from Genesis to the maps regarding the Lordship and Kingship of Jesus … but here’s one of my favorite passages, Colossians 1:15-17, “Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for...

Fear is a spirit of death … and it wants to capture your heart, define your decisions, and control your emotions. At almost every point as I read the news this morning, fear was the motivating factor for me to click on the next story, respond, or let fear become the basis of my decisions. It’s driven by an attention economy, setting your heart in a certain direction (the algorithm) to generate income for those who traffic in fear. It’s a trap. Fear wants your heart.

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.

“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. The essentials for survival. But what every man really needs is not just a bug-out bag - it's a Band of Brothers. Because not...

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. The internet is filled with videos and sites to build your talent, many to help you make “more money than you’ve ever dreamed,” and others to make your voice heard. Few help build character. To build this bedrock, measure yourself against these truths... 1. Commit to live in private what you talk about in public. Character is a quality of faithfulness most...
