There are two significant challenges to living in the now. One is living in nostalgia, having an obsession with an unattainable past. This causes men to live by regret and remorse for what could have been. The second challenge is living in fantasies, which is expecting a future that you’re neither sowing the habits, disciplines,…

In the book of Proverbs, we’re reminded that “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). This profound truth extends beyond the individual to the very heart of the family—the home. The atmosphere you allow in your home doesn’t just linger like a fleeting scent; it seeps into the soil of…

Life’s tough, right? We dream big, but too often those dreams stay stuck in “someday.” As men of faith, the Bible shows us how to turn dreams into real steps. Proverbs 16:9 says, “We make our plans, but the Lord guides our steps.” Goal setting isn’t about doing it alone—it’s about lining up with God’s…

In the divine blueprint of manhood, God equips us with two hands—not just for labor, but as symbols of balance and purpose. One hand is entrepreneurial, designed to gather: it builds businesses, forges careers, and amasses resources with diligence and ingenuity. The other hand is philanthropic, meant to scatter: it releases blessings, sows seeds of…

God made the world and everything in it. When He made you, He had a big plan. Genesis 1:26 says God created man in His image to rule over the earth, not to be bossed around by things or people. That means you’re meant to have dominion, like a king running his kingdom, not to…

“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” – 1 Timothy 4:8 (NLT) Hey brother, let’s talk man-to-man. You want to be strong, live with purpose, and make God proud? Working out isn’t just about getting big muscles—it’s about becoming the…

The Call to Spirit-filled Work In the hustle of daily life, work can often feel like a grind—a series of tasks that drain our energy and leave us longing for purpose. Yet, as believers, we are called to a higher standard: to approach our work not as a mere obligation but as an act of…

In the tapestry of human existence, the struggle between vice and virtue is as old as time itself. The Seven Deadly Sins—lust, gluttony, greed, envy, wrath, sloth, and pride—have long been recognized as perilous pitfalls that can derail a life. Yet, as the Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 7:15, “I do not understand what…

Desire is the spark that ignites a man’s heart, but it’s pursuit that turns it into a flame. The Bible shows us that those who truly want God’s promises don’t just wish—they move. The proof of desire is pursuit, and Scripture is rich with examples of men and women who chased their calling with relentless…

In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the term “ekklesia” carried significant weight and purpose. It described a gathering of citizens, called out from their homes to deliberate, govern, and shape the destiny of their city-state. Derived from ek (“out of”) and kaleo (“to call”), the ekklesia was no mere social club—it was a mobilized assembly with authority to…
