Jesus is Jewish, descended from Judah (Hebrews 7:14), and our risen Savior is still called the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5). The prophets of Israel and the twelve apostles were Jewish. Romans 11:18 warns Gentile believers against arrogance toward Israel, and 1 John 4:20 exposes the contradiction of claiming to love God while hating a brother. Antisemitism has no place in Christianity. Love Jewish people. Pray for them. Stand against the hate.

Jesus Christ is not one of many ways to God. HE IS GOD. He is not merely a prophet, a good teacher, or a religious figure. He is the eternal Son of God, the Word made flesh, the King of kings and Lord of lords. No other name can save you. No other name has conquered sin and death. No other name is worthy of all glory, honor, and worship. Jesus Himself declared, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6, ESV). And Acts 4:12 makes it clear that salvation is found in no one else. The world can call that narrow, offensive, or intolerant, but the truth doesn’t change to accommodate culture. JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, AND EVERY KNEE WILL BOW BEFORE HIM. Philippians 2:10–11.

Soft homes don’t happen by accident. When men avoid hard conversations, refuse discipline, run from responsibility, and choose comfort over conviction, the whole home feels it. Your family doesn’t need you to be harsh. They need you to be strong enough to lead, humble enough to repent, disciplined enough to say no to yourself, and submitted enough to follow Jesus. Strong men build strong homes.

As a Christian, I refuse to stay silent when a religious legal system permits things I believe are evil. I will stand against the execution of people for leaving a religion. I will stand against killing people for same sex sexual acts. I will stand against child marriage. I will stand against flogging, amputation, and religious coercion. And I will do it while loving Muslims, because Muslims are not my enemy. Scripture says our battle is not against flesh and blood. I will fight darkness without hating people. I will speak truth without apology. And above everything else, I will proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord.

The battle against lust isn’t usually lost in one big decision. It’s lost in hundreds of small ones. We often pray for God to make us stronger while continuing to put ourselves in the same situations that keep us weak.

For some men, one of the simplest changes they can make is leaving their phone outside the bathroom. Not because a bathroom is sinful, but because wisdom removes opportunities for temptation. Jesus taught us to take radical steps against sin. If something repeatedly leads you to compromise, don’t manage it. Remove it.

Men of God don’t ask, “How close can I get without falling?” They ask, “How can I honor Jesus with every part of my life?” Your purity is worth protecting. Your marriage is worth protecting. Your children are worth protecting. Holiness always costs something, but it’s a price worth paying.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” — Psalm 51:10

The strongest man in the room isn’t always the loudest, toughest, or most intimidating. It’s the man who has learned to die to himself daily. The man who refuses to let his feelings dictate his decisions. The man who chooses obedience over comfort, conviction over approval, and holiness over compromise.

Our culture celebrates men who follow their hearts. Jesus calls men to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. That’s where true strength is found. A man who has surrendered his life to Christ becomes difficult for the enemy to manipulate because his flesh is no longer in control. His identity isn’t built on emotions, success, or the opinions of others. It’s built on Jesus.

The greatest battle you’ll ever fight isn’t against the world around you. It’s against the flesh within you. Win that battle by the power of the Holy Spirit, and you’ll become the kind of man who leads his family with courage, humility, and unwavering faith.

“Whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 16:25

This is important as we head into the fall season soon. A consistent debate with my wife about correct way to say this word. Also, all my coworkers tagged need educated on this as well. Mainly @markboller 🌰

Maybe @clay_newcomb @brent_reaves @meateater can help confirm this.

This is a question I heard recently that has me thinking. Would I want my boys to inherit my life right now? 🤔

Loneliness doesn’t always look like isolation. Sometimes it looks like a father who provides for everyone else while quietly carrying the weight alone. God never intended men to fight their battles in silence. If you’re feeling distant from God, your wife, your kids, or everyone around you, don’t hide. Bring it into the light. Pursue Jesus. Reach out to another godly man. Let your children see a father who isn’t too proud to ask for help. The strongest men aren’t the ones who never struggle. They’re the ones who refuse to struggle alone.
