Making a Lasting Impact: Why Discipling Others is Crucial for Every Christian
As a follower of Jesus Christ, I firmly believe that one of the most critical pursuits we can undertake is discipling others. Discipling is all about pouring into people’s lives, aiding them in their spiritual growth, and empowering them to positively impact the world for the Kingdom of God. It is not merely a suggestion but a royal summons that Jesus has extended to each of us. The Apostle Paul’s message to Timothy offers a clear example of the importance…

Why Aren’t More Men Involved in Men’s Ministry?
In the 5+ years that I’ve been directly involved with men’s ministry leadership, it’s often disheartening to see a general lack of interest from Christian men in any type of spiritual focus on them. Books have been written on it (Pastoring Men by Patrick Morley is an excellent read), and men’s ministry proponents are regularly confounded about why men aren’t engaged more. Often, the average Christian man sees that attending a Sunday service is adequate…that is if he even makes…

How To Be Sexually Pure As A Man
Sexual purity is an essential aspect of any man’s life, and it is a concept that is emphasized throughout the Bible. God has created sexual intercourse to be a wonderful, holy, and precious thing in a marriage between one man and one woman. But anything that deviates from that is outside of what God intended and fits in the broad category of sexual immorality. Sexual immorality includes any sexual activity outside of marriage, including pornography, premarital sex, adultery, homosexuality, and…
How to Hear the Voice of God and Learn to Obey Him
In Isaiah 30:21, the Bible states, “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” This verse serves as a reminder of God’s guidance and encouragement for us to take action in our lives. God wants us to be active and proactive in our faith, for us not to sit back and wait for things to happen. He desires us to trust Him,…

How Christian Men Can Fight Porn and Resist Temptation
Pornography is a disastrous issue that affects men of all ages and backgrounds. It may or may not surprise you, but Christian men engage in viewing porn just as much as those who aren’t believers.

Rest assured, you can, with God’s power and grace, you…
How Pride Can Ruin Christian Male Leadership
“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.” – Proverbs 11:2 [ESV] Pride is a powerful and insidious force that can undermine the effectiveness of Christian male leadership in a variety of ways. At its core, pride is all about self-aggrandizement, seeking to elevate oneself above others and to place one’s own interests and desires above the needs and well-being of others. When pride is allowed to take root in the hearts and minds of Christian…

Why Christian Men Should Hold Each Other Accountable
“Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each…

Here’s a brief update on my forthcoming men’s ministry book, Warrior Disciple. I’ve spent much time in prayer, consultation with several other Christian author friends, deliberation, and consideration, all in trying to figure out how to get published within a reasonable amount of time and to be able to maintain enough creative control to be able to get the product that men’s ministries need. I was faced with three major avenues of publishing. One, I could strive to get a…
Men, Here’s How to Never Lose Your Wife Or Your Girlfriend
Christian men, I have to be blunt here. When it comes to most of us and the opposite sex, our approach is downright deplorable. More than ever, we who call ourselves followers of Jesus need genuine, rock-solid advice on how to improve our relationships with our wives and girlfriends. For whatever reason, most men feel like taking in useful marriage and dating guidance is not worth the effort. Quite often, we would rather toss back a few cold ones with…

Scott’s Newest Writing Project
Hey, where has Scott been lately?” A few of you may have been wondering the above interrogative. Rest assured, I have not dropped off the map. In fact, the metaphorical map may be growing by leaps and bounds. In the past six months, many people have seen their COVID-19-inflicted semi-lockdown as a bringer of hours of freed-up time, with some lamentably scurrying for new hobbies and (gag) new Netflix series on which to binge. For me, the bulk of…
