Young men—sons, brothers, and future fathers—are stepping up to reclaim a vision of manhood rooted in biblical truth and authentic purpose. This isn’t about bravado or cultural stereotypes; it’s about courage, integrity, and a calling to reflect God’s design. Here are five…

Raising daughters is a sacred calling, a privilege bestowed upon men to shape the next generation of women—strong, virtuous, and full of purpose. As a Girl Dad, you’re not just a provider or protector; you’re a mentor, a model, and a mirror reflecting God’s love. Drawing from Biblical wisdom and the FivestarMan framework—five purposes of…

In a world increasingly hostile to masculinity, men face a subtle yet insidious threat: passivity.

The Bible reveals that we are stewards of divine gifts, called to invest them wisely for His glory and the good of others. I believe we each possess five distinct…

The Proverb stings with truth: “A dog always returns to its vomit.” It’s a raw, unflinching image of what happens when we lack intentional direction. As the saying goes, a man without a vision will always return to his past. Without a clear focus on what lies ahead, we’re doomed to revisit old messes—broken habits,…
