How Men’s Leaders Grow Strong Ministries by Returning to the Fundamentals

If you want deeper impact with your men, start by going deeper with God.” Every men’s ministry leader wants a ministry that actually changes lives. The shortcut we often chase is novelty. A new program. A new leadership book or podcast. A louder event. A slicker calendar. The path God gives us is older and stronger: seek the Lord, stay in the Scriptures, and pray with consistency. These basics, practiced faithfully, reshape the leader and the ministry that follows him.…

A Psalm 1 Man in a Psalm 2 World

Every man today feels the weight of a world gone mad. Nations rage, leaders scheme, cultures shake their fists at God, and hostility toward the name of Jesus and the Gospel grows louder each year. Yet right in the middle of this noise, God’s Word paints a clear picture of the man He blesses: a Psalm 1 man. While Psalm 2 shows us kings and rulers raging against the Lord and His Anointed, Psalm 1 sets out the contrast of…

My Top 20 Favorite Books of All Time (Outside of the Bible) – Revisited

I’m revisiting what I consider to be my all-time favorite books. The last time I made a blog post listing my favorite books of all time, I was still growing in my Christian walk. Admittedly, since then, I’ve outgrown a few of the titles and perhaps wouldn’t even put one or two in my top 50 books. No, there weren’t any prosperity authors, feel-good “TBN” celebrities, or hyper-charismatic nonsense polluting my list, but there were a few glaring issues that…

What Just Happened When You Got Saved?

When someone first comes to faith in Jesus, it can feel both exciting and overwhelming. You may have had a friend or family member explain things to you, you might have prayed a prayer, you could have walked forward at a church service, or simply cried out to God in your heart. However it happened, you knew that something inside you shifted. This moment can be described in many ways: being saved, receiving Jesus as your Lord and Savior, beginning…

Serving in the Body When No One Claps

The Big idea: Hidden faithfulness is greatness. Texts: 1 Corinthians 12; Matthew 6:1–4. Hook: Pick one unseen service for the next month. Serving in the Body When No One Claps There is a kind of quiet greatness that never touches a microphone. It shows up early, stays late, and leaves the room cleaner than it found it. Most people never notice. God does. The same Lord Jesus Christ who rose from the dead and reigns over all, has told us…

Why King James-Onlyism Gets It Wrong

If you have been in church for any length of time, you have probably met someone who insists that the King James Bible is the only true Word of God. To them, if you are not using the King James Version (KJV), then you are either deceived, unfaithful, or even flirting with heresy. This belief is called King James-Onlyism (KJVO). At first glance, it sounds zealous. After all, who would not want to protect God’s Word from corruption? The problem…

Introducing My New Book for New Christians: New in Christ

Have you recently trusted in Jesus and asked, “What now?” Or maybe you’re a pastor, mentor, or evangelist looking for a clear and biblical way to help new believers take their first steps in the faith. I’d like to introduce you to a brand-new resource I’ve just released: New in Christ: A Simple Guide for New Christians. This little book has been burning in my heart for years. I’ve met many new believers—either right after they gave their lives to…

When Theology Stays in the Head and How to Bring It to the Heart

There is a way to traffic in holy things and remain unchanged. A person can catalog doctrines, recite confessions, and outline systems of truth, yet remain outside the living current of grace. Scripture warns us that knowledge alone can swell the heart with self-importance, while love builds up, and the danger is real because pride often wears religious clothes. The goal of theology is not the applause of the classroom or the thrill of crushing your opponents in online debates,…

When God Leads You Into the Wilderness

Following Jesus doesn’t always lead to green pastures. Sometimes, He takes you into the wilderness; not to harm you, but to shape you. And if you let Him, that season will change you forever. If you truly follow God, don’t be surprised if He leads you into a season of wilderness. It might feel barren. It might stretch far longer than you planned. For Israel, it was forty years (Numbers 14:33–34). For you, it might be months, years, or even…

Family Worship in 15 Minutes

Men, you can have a simple family worship night, which will be a huge spiritual benefit for you, your wife, and your children. Stop overthinking this. You don’t need to wait until you “feel ready” or delay until the kids are older. God has already told you what to do: open the Bible with your family, pray with them, and sing about Christ. That’s it. This is not about putting on a show or crafting the perfect devotional. So tonight,…

Eat For the Spirit You Want

In the fitness world, there is a popular phrase that goes, “Eat for the body you want, not for the body you have.” What that means is simple: if you want a stronger, more muscular body, you cannot live off of crackers, fries, noodles, and sweetened lattes. Muscles need protein, so you load up on lean meats, eggs, and beans. If you want to trim body fat, you cut calories and limit processed carbs. Even if you are killing it…

The Doctrine of Discernment and the Call to Expose False Teachers

Introduction – The Critical Need for Discernment Today If you spend any time in the broader Christian world, you will know that the very mention of certain names will stir up strong opinions. Say the name “Justin Peters,” and some will nod in appreciation, while others roll their eyes in frustration and anger. Bring up “John MacArthur,” “Todd Friel,” “Voddie Baucham,” “James White,” “Costi Hinn,” or “Phil Johnson,” and you may find the same split. Mention “Mike Winger,” “Alisa Childers,”…

The Holy Spirit: The Third Person of the Trinity

The Holy Spirit: God With Us Every Christian should know the Holy Spirit as more than an abstract idea. He is the Third Person of the Trinity—the God who fills the silence, who moves in hearts, and who transforms lives. I write this as someone who has been deeply impacted by His presence and power. I want you to see why He matters—and why knowing Him matters most. He Is God First, let’s establish something essential: the Spirit is divine.…

Why Every Man Needs a Paul, a Barnabas, and a Timothy

Christian men often talk about brotherhood, but not enough of us live it out in a meaningful, structured way. We’ll say we need other men around us, but we rarely define what those relationships should look like. And most men don’t realize that the Bible actually gives us a pattern to follow. If you want to grow in Christ, fight sin well, and make disciples, you need three types of men in your life: A Paul A Barnabas A Timothy…

Christlike Leadership and Graceful Submission – A Man’s Part in a Biblical Marriage

When I first posted about The Biblical Order of the Family, as part of the blog post, I had attempted to write a thorough examination of the structure of a biblical marriage according to Ephesians chapter 5. Although I think that the blog article covers the topic well enough, there was still a lot of nuance that might have been lacking. Therefore, below is a closer look at what exactly is entailed by the God-given roles of men and women…

The Problem with Following Secular Masculinity Gurus

There’s no denying it: modern men are hungry for purpose, direction, and strength. We live in a world where masculinity is questioned, redefined, and often outright attacked. And into that vacuum step certain loud, opinionated, often conservative, and highly influential voices. Guys like Jocko Willink, Andrew Tate, and Jordan Peterson have all gained massive followings—many of those followers being Christian men. I get it. I’ve listened to them too. I’ve nodded along to some of what they say. But we’ve…

Responding to the Most Common Myths About Calvinism

Grace in the Midst of the Cage Stage If you spend enough time in Christian social media comment sections or theological groups, you’ll notice something strange: people can become surprisingly combative (and ungracious) when they start talking about God’s grace. It sounds ironic, doesn’t it? The truth is, this corner of theology—what we often refer to as soteriology, the doctrine of salvation—has sparked centuries of debate between those who emphasize God’s sovereignty in salvation (often called Calvinists) and those who…

Coming Soon – New in Christ: A Simple Guide for New Christians

I have some exciting news to share from my heart to yours. In the coming weeks, I’ll be releasing my new book, New in Christ – A Simple Guide For New Christians, a short guidebook lovingly written for those who have recently decided to follow Jesus. This project has been a labor of love and prayer, born out of my desire to help brand-new Christians navigate the first steps of their faith journey with hope and confidence. When someone gives…

7 Habits of a Spirit-Led Father

Being a father is one of the most weighty and sacred roles a man can hold. God entrusts us with the care of our children’s souls, as well as their physical well-being. A Spirit-led father is more than a good provider or a strong protector—he’s a man who walks in the power of the Holy Spirit, day in and day out, and leads his kids toward Jesus by both his words and his example. Here are seven habits that define…

Why You Must Be Men of the Word

Brothers, if there was ever a time for men to rise up and stand firm in the Word of God, it is now. We are not living in days of spiritual ease. These are not quiet times. These are dark days. Our culture mocks God, redefines truth, and celebrates what is evil. And in the midst of it all, many Christian men are asleep. We play games with eternal things. We are passive where we should be fierce. We are…
