Every Man Ministries

Whether or not you know it, we are at war. All day and everyday there are dark forces doing battle with the Kingdom of the Living God. The question is not whether or not you are in the battle, it’s are you winning? And if we are to win, where does this power come from? Join us for the conclusion of Ephesians for Everyman.

I remember when my kids were little, they were constantly imitating me. Sometimes they were being cute, other times they were being sassy. I loved it either way. A father loves to see his actions, his heart and his values on display in his kids. The same is true of you and I. Our father loves to see us live as “imitators of God, in everything we do”. How can God’s man live out a calling so large?...

We don’t live our faith out in a vacuum. There is no such thing as a Lone Ranger, or Marlboro Man in the family of Christ. We need one another. Period. So, is our role simply to police and discipline one another? No. God’s man needs men to call him up, not simply call him out. Join us for week four of Ephesians for Everyman, where we seek to live in real and authentic community as we follow Jesus.

We have been saved. Rescued. Brought back to life. But for what? What were we saved to? To amass things? To obtain power, possessions or new and higher positions? No! We exist to make sure Heaven is a crowded place. How do we move from seeing the sharing of the Gospel as a burden and a chore, into the truth that it is a beautiful privilege? Join us for week three of Ephesians for Everyman.

We once were dead. Not sick and in need of a few vitamins or some r & r…we were dead. Period. It was then….at our most vulnerable and hopeless, that Christ stepped in and brought us back to life. But what does it look like to walk this new life out, in the spaces and places God has placed us? Join us for week two of Ephesians for Everyman.

Ephesians for Everyman is a 6 week adventure where we will seek to lay aside our Identity Issues by trusting God’s word to tell us who we are as His men. Who are you? Such a simple question, and yet so much rides on the answer. How do we find out exactly who it is that we are? How do we live out the reality that identity informs activity? Well, if we know who we are, then we’ll know what to do. Jo...

Relationships on earth define our life on earth. As a follower of Jesus, this relationship completely shapes every dimension of life by mirroring what he experienced. Jesus lived a life on earth, he died a death on earth , and came alive again to God's purposes here on earth. Are you ready to come alive to God's purposes?

Every man has his ways. In fact, our patterns of thinking and living, believing and behaving can be so consistently manifested that we can use it as an excuse for not changing. "I am the way I am," is the defense. The problem is that the people or circumstances connected to our lives might not be as forgiving as the fear and the pride inside of us make their case in our brains. Just think about ho...

A defining moment is a point in your life when you're urged to make a pivotal decision, or when you experience something that fundamentally changes you. Not only do these moments define us, but they have a transformative effect on our perceptions and behaviors. This is God’s intention when you decide to cross the line into a relationship with Christ. In fact, a supernatural process begins and it i...

Has someone ever asked you to do something and you didn't feel like doing it? Your first thought is "Now? Why now?" You have things to do. You have plans right now. You have needs that will go unmet if you say yes. All valid but because of who is asking you do what is requested, you don't voice any of those reasons saying "no" and you fulfill the request of the "asker." How about when God asks? Ho...

Everyday we are forced to make decisions. Every YES is also a NO. Everything we step into, is a decision to step away from something else. How does God’s Man discern God’s will? When are we called to say YES and when are we called to say NO? How do we navigate a society that seems to elevate, encourage and even worship the very things that God’s man is called to say NO to? Join us as we jump into...

Oftentimes, as God’s men, we face crossroads in our lives where decisions must be made. The decisions are not always simply between what is right and what is wrong, but rather in discerning what is God’s will for our lives. In our desire to live on mission for Jesus we are often confronted with the choice…do I stay, or should I go? Am I to endure….or am I to move out in faith? When is God’s man ca...

The best leaders on the planet, those that God can use mightily, are not first of all leaders….they’re followers. God’s man recognizes that he can never lead someone to places he’s never been, and so God’s man must learn to follow Jesus in order to lead. As we follow Jesus, however, we will quickly recognize our calling to lead others. To ensure the next generation has what it takes to stand tall...

We are launching into a new 4 week series entitled “PUSH AND PULL”, where we are going to unpack some of the tensions of our faith that we experience as Gods Men. Living in an upside down Kingdom where to be great we must become nothing, where the way up is down and where we must balance seemingly opposite rhythms. Along the way we’ll discuss the Rhythms of Being & Doing, Following & Leading, Stay...

Dark is the context for light. That means you understand and appreciate light when you can't see but need to see! The light comes on and you can now navigate your environment with less fear. This is exactly why Jesus said that his followers would be "light" that would be placed on a "lamp stand" or optimal spot to spread the most light. Your lamp stand is where you live, where you work, where you...

Following Jesus means taking risks in your relationship with God as well as in your relationships with people. When speaking to his men he also told them they would be taking risks in their relationship to His church. Specifically, that they would be connected to an evil defeating machine that advanced his agenda on earth! As both head and builder of His church, we are called to follow his example...

Relationships are risky and unpredictable because the possibility exists that something bad or unpleasant will happen as opposed to what is hoped for happening. That is true in any relationship - even your relationship with God. But when you take risks in your relationship with God he rewards them and, over time, you begin to find courage to start risking in the second most important dimension of...

In the bible Jesus said to the men at the shoreline, “Let’s go to the other side.”. He doesn’t tell them what is going to happen, but He challenges them to get in the boat. He invited every man on the shoreline to go on THE NEXT ADVENTURE. And for those men who risked a yes for the next adventure with Jesus, they witnessed and experienced things they never did before, and it changed them forever....

It is easy – even natural – to thank God for things that benefit you.  But when people and circumstances conspire to cause us pain it messes with the one thing that can sabotage all gratitude – our expectations.  Life is full of such moments.  There is the life that we thought we would live or […]
