Men, Put Down Your Screens and Pick Up Your Sword
Christian men, we are living in a war zone. Every day, a battle rages for your mind, your eyes, and your heart. The enemy has found one of his most effective weapons, and he hides it in plain sight. It sits glowing in your hand, mounted on your wall, or perched on your desk. It feeds you hours of noise, vanity, and godlessness – and you call it “entertainment.” The modern man spends far more time staring at screens than…
5 Big Challenges Every Men’s Ministry Leader Faces (and How to Overcome Them)
When I talk with other men’s leaders, the same questions seem to come up again and again. They’re the same questions I wrestle with myself. How do I help guys care more about their spiritual lives? How do we reach young men? How do we build authentic community where men talk about real struggles? And how do I help my pastor see that men’s ministry isn’t just “another program,” but a vital piece of the church’s mission? If you’ve ever…
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…
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…
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,…
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,…
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…
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…
From Adam to Christ: Recovering Biblical Manhood
Something has gone wrong with men. We see it everywhere. In the home, men are absent or passive. In churches, they often sit silently while their wives lead the way. In society, they’re mocked, feminized, or made to feel irrelevant. We’ve got boys in grown men’s bodies chasing comfort, addiction, and selfish pursuits, and it’s leaving a gaping hole where strong, godly leadership ought to be. But this isn’t new. The breakdown of manhood didn’t begin in our generation. It…
You Must Utterly Destroy Sin
Have you ever found yourself stuck in the same routine, day in and day out? I know I have. It’s so easy to fall into a pattern where we feel safe, comfortable, and in control. Our comfort zones are like warm, cozy blankets that we wrap around ourselves, protecting us from the unknown. But as men of God, we are not called to live a life of comfort and complacency. We are called to be warriors, ready to step into…
Marriage Mastery Advice – Secrets to a Thriving Relationship

Today, there’s an…

Men always have fantasized about the prospect of being a warrior in a grand, epic battle.
