Are You a Man or an Ostrich?
Some men simply will not address the issue. The issue that is so big, boastful, and obvious that everyone else sees it …
The Difference Between Men and Women
You were made out of the dirt, molded from the clay, and that’s also where you are called to return. Sometimes a man needs to get back out into the dirt and play as he did when he was a child.

Original Intent—Why God Created Man
We are doomed to repeat the failed patterns of life if we do not discover the truths of authentic manhood. Insecurities will overwhelm us if we do not gain the confidence that comes from purpose. To become an authentic man means that we need to find the original intent of manhood.

Thankfully, there is a grassroots movement in our culture to resurrect authentic manhood. It’s called FivestarMan.
