How to maintain grace, peace, and confidence without acting offended or defensive. Trying to follow Jesus today can feel like walking around with a “Punch Me” sign taped to your back. You’re surrounded by: A culture that calls confusion “progress” A society that calls sin “freedom” People who say truth is “hate speech” And a world that treats conviction like a personal attack And you’re just over here trying to: Love your wife Raise your kids Pay your bills Go to church And n

How Jesus models strength and humility — and why Christian men must learn both. If we’re being honest, most men lean one of two ways: The Lion: Ready to charge. Ready to defend. Ready to roar. Willing to call someone out if they park crooked. The Lamb: Patient. Gentle. Kind. Doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Would rather eat cold food than send it back. Some guys roar too fast. Some guys never roar at all. But Jesus, the standard of masculinity, is both the Lion of Ju

Because sometimes giving thanks feels less like a holiday vibe and more like an act of spiritual warfare. Thanksgiving Day is supposed to be: Warm smiles 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A perfectly roasted turkey 🦃 Peaceful family moments ✨ Gratitude flowing like rivers of gravy …but for many men, the real Thanksgiving Day experience looks a little more like: Family tension Burnt rolls because someone was "just checking Facebook real quick" Trying not to argue about politics with your uncle Pre

Because climbing the ladder means nothing if it’s leaning on the wrong wall. We live in a world that has very strong opinions about what it means to “win.” Culture says real success looks like: A big salary A bigger truck A corner office A golf handicap you brag about A garage full of “projects” you absolutely will get to one day A retirement plan that would make Dave Ramsey shed a proud tear And listen, none of that is inherently bad, God is not anti-success. But here’s the

Because sometimes even warriors panic over things like bills, the future, and whether that noise in the car means $89 or $1,900. You ever have those days where your brain decides to hold a full-on doomsday parade for no reason? You’re driving to work: “What if I lose my job?” You finally sit down to rest: “Did I ruin my kids already?” You’re trying to sleep: “You know what would be fun? Reliving every mistake since 2009.” Anxiety doesn’t ask permission. It shows up like an un

Because spiritual intimacy is better than Netflix… most days. You know the drill: You tell your wife, “Yeah, we should do more date nights.” And then three months later the date night has consisted of: Sitting on opposite ends of the couch Scrolling separate universes on your phones Eating leftovers over the sink And falling asleep to the same episode of The Office you’ve both seen 42 times. It’s not that you don’t love your wife. It’s that life is loud with kids, jobs, stre

Teaching our kids to walk in truth when the world can’t even decide what truth is. The Reality We’re Raising Kids In Let’s be honest, brothers, parenting today feels like trying to explain Wi-Fi to your grandfather. Everything is confusing, fast-changing, and half the time you’re not even sure if you're doing it right. We live in a culture where: Right and wrong are treated like “personal preferences.” Identity is something you “pick.” Truth is whatever someone feels at 3:47

The Real Fight Isn’t With Your Wife Brothers, let’s get something straight right from the jump: Your wife is not your opponent. Your wife is your teammate. You and your wife are not two boxers squaring up in a ring…You are cornermen in the same corner fighting the real enemy: Pride Miscommunication Past hurts Stress The devil himself, who loves sowing division in marriages Because if the enemy can break the marriage, he can fracture the family. And if he fractures the famil

Because “Yes, dear” might not be in the Bible, but dying to yourself definitely is. The Battle Every Husband Fights Let’s be real, brothers: marriage isn’t a walk in the park. It’s more like a daily sparring session where your opponent isn’t your wife ...it ’s your pride. We men love control. We like fixing things, solving problems, and avoiding the emotional landmines that come with the question: “Do these jeans make me look ______?” (Stop right there. No answer you give is

Being a spiritual leader at home isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, loving well, and pointing your family to Jesus (even if your kids think “Exodus” is a Marvel movie). This post will challenge, encourage, and make you laugh as you step into your role as the man God called you to be—right in your living room.
