Send us Fan Mail Forgetting God doesn’t usually look like shaking your fist at heaven. It looks like staying busy, staying entertained, and slowly going numb. We open with Psalm 88:12 and that chilling phrase “the land of forgetfulness,” then we get brutally honest about how spiritual drift works in real life for Christian men: it’s subtle, it’s quiet, and it often shows up as convenience over con...

It was answered in a manner greater than he had requested. Yours will be as well. Perhaps...
