Young men are being seriously blitzed right now. According to the Stanford Review, they are “three times more likely to overdose, four times more likely to commit suicide, and a staggering 14 times more likely to be incarcerated than their female peers.” They’ve been ignored, isolated in social media and inundated with lies about what […]
One of the greatest difficulties of modern life is how easy everything is. I certainly don’t want anything to actually get harder for me or you, but it’s easy to go through our days without facing any dangers or hardships. When something does come up, whether it’s sickness, grief, or some challenging situation, it stops […]
Fear has devastating effects on our lives. It affects our memory, brain processing and our mental and physical health. More importantly, it keeps us from living in the faith and power of God. Everyone deals with fear. I know I have, whether it was the fear of a linebacker coming off the blindside, or the […]
Being a father comes with its challenges, responsibilities, and joys. But being a Christian father carries an even deeper calling: to reflect God’s love, provide spiritual leadership, and guide your family in faith. What does this look like in practice, and how can fathers embrace this role with humility and purpose? A Christian Father Leads […]
A Christian family is more than shared bloodlines—it’s a home built on faith, love, and obedience to God’s Word. At its core, a Christian family keeps Christ at the center, creating a foundation for lasting unity and purpose. But what does this look like in practice, and how can families intentionally grow in their faith […]
The Bible is the story of God creating humanity in His image, giving them free will, and then bringing them closer to Him with His perfect way and the sacrifice of His Son. It is the greatest concentration of wisdom in the Bible, a collection inspired by God Himself over generations. So, of course, it […]
True Biblical spiritual leadership doesn’t look like the world’s leadership. And when a spiritual leader fails, it’s because they’ve traded Jesus’ way of leading for a worldly way. Sometimes, that’s replacing spiritual goals with material ones (such as the land-grabbing Crusades or many examples of financial abuse). Other times, it’s falling in love with the […]
For guys, we all start out with good intentions. But temptations arise, and it’s easy to slide into telling half-truths, justifying sinful behavior, secrecy and pretense. Usually, it blows up in your face sooner or later. But even if you keep it hidden, God knows and expects you to live righteously. The best thing to […]
Think of the qualities of a great leader. He or she is inspirational and direct, has a plan, holds others accountable, and puts the team first. Now, think of a bad leader: a hypocritical commander who lacks confidence or direction. You’ve probably experienced both—and maybe even been both at different times in your life. But […]
Trust is the cornerstone of a healthy, lasting marriage. Most marriages start on a solid foundation of trust. In that honeymoon phase, our excitement for each other makes us act our best.

This daily journey, described as discipleship according to the scriptures, is about following the example of Jesus’ disciples—building a close friendship with Him and fulfilling a shared mission. […]
Our society in America is facing a crisis. Our country is safer than ever, yet we’re getting more anxious. According to the American Psychiatric Association, 43% of adults reported feeling more anxious than the previous year. That’s up from 37% last year. I’m not saying there are no reasons to feel anxious. There can be economic […]
It can be easy to forget that we are in the middle of an eternal struggle of good and evil every day. Ultimately, everything bad and destructive originates from Satan. The challenges he hurls at us are not always obvious. Some of them are invisible to us. These spiritual battles present themselves as unexpected challenges […]
Friendship is a treasure. Unfortunately, for many of us, it’s a hidden treasure, because we’ve invested so little in it. So little time. So little of our effort. Like everything meaningful, the Bible offers wisdom on men’s fellowship, showing us how to bring it into our own lives and enjoy its life-changing effects. Here are […]
Patience is a virtue that is often tested in our fast-paced world. Yet, the Bible emphasizes the importance of being patient, not only as a personal trait but as a reflection of our trust in God’s timing and His plan for our lives.

Prayer is a vital part of the Christian faith, serving as a direct line of communication between us and God. A strong prayer life not only deepens our relationship with the Lord but also provides the spiritual strength needed to navigate life’s challenges.

Life’s challenges can often leave us feeling lost, discouraged, and questioning where God is in the midst of our pain. However, it’s during these difficult times that understanding and experiencing God’s love becomes even more crucial.
