A man will pay a high price to win his prize.  If you had the money would you pay $3.1 million dollars for a 612 pound blue fin tuna?  Answer: “No!”  Well, the owner of the largest sushi chain in Japan did and he was overjoyed and grateful to possess it.  He was ALL IN for […]

It’s all perspective right? Or perhaps more accurately, it is a battle for perspective. When our circumstances appear to be aligning with our hope-filled expectations, the sky is bluer, the trees are greener, the birds are singing, and people are a blessing. What a wonderful world right? But life can turn on a dime when […]

Celebrating big victories has a half-life, the party eventually must end. Similarly, being safe from danger doesn’t mean you are doing good as a person. No one may be chasing you but you still have to fight the war within your own heart. This has been the story of God’s people throughout Scripture and, not […]

Most of us have seen a good “cliff-hanger” movie. The formula is predictable: the clock is ticking, imminent danger is coming, there are limited or no options, a dramatic intervention, and then a mix of relief and celebration wash over you with a good catharsis. The unspoken conclusion? THAT was a close one! History is […]

Every person ever created knows there’s more than just this life and desires that MORE! You see it in every culture across the globe. What you also see is that instead of relating to, following, worshipping, and giving our lives to the one true original Creator, we settle for forgeries and fakes – gods that […]

We all believe our opinions are right, that is until we’re proven wrong. But can we gain wisdom before falling on our faces? Is pain our only teacher? What about the current generation? The men who have gone before us and have so much to offer us? If we’re the generation whose role it is […]

As kids we have all played games where our performance was being counted on to “keep it going”. You’d shoot three point shots, and after a few people in a row made it someone would shout out “don’t break the chain!” They were calling on you to perform. Connecting the past success with the future […]

The impact of a connected life is difficult to measure. Truly, the impact is generational. But…this is yet another aspect of community that is has become exceedingly rare today…multi-generational community. Multi-generational discipleship. Coaching. Teaching. Mentoring. In many ways, we are losing the communal nature of our faith that defined the early church. How do we reclaim these […]

In the most connected generation of all time, we often feel completely disconnected. We’ve bought the lie that digital connection is real and meaningful connection. We’ve associated Facebook friends with…actual friends. What do we need as God’s men? What type of friendships should we pursue? True friendships, warriors of the heart who will fight with […]

No one ever wakes up and decides to seek a solitude life. It isn’t a single decision that pushes the people in our lives, out. The drift into isolation is as slow as it is damaging. As men we need to heed the warning signs. Where are we pulling back, rather than stepping in? Where […]

It wasn’t long before God looked upon Adam and said “this isn’t good”. Not that Adam wasn’t good, or that his situation was sinful…it just wasn’t TOV. Tov is a Hebrew word which carries the idea of perfect goodness, of life as it should be…of the life lived out in community. We were designed for […]

Families are full of imperfect and flawed human beings. Because of this conflict is inevitable. Think about a toddler who doesn’t get what they want or whose expectations are not met. Now just add 10, 20, or 30 years to that same person. Still imperfect, still flawed, still full of unmet needs and desires living under the same roof. Conflict in families knows no age limit. However, did you know th...

A refuge. A safe harbor. A fortress that protects. This is who God is and it is also what he wants your family to be in the midst of the cultural tempest slamming into people. Family is the relational desire and core expression of God himself. He is a father with children and as our powerful guardian he will fight for and care for us in specific ways. He shows how to foster and fight for our own f...

Why is your family so important to God? The FAMILY unit forms people - it gives foundational experiences that we carry with us the rest of our lives and into the next generation. Moms, dads, brothers, and sisters were God's choice from the beginning to bless us and bless the world. The FAMILY is under siege in under attack by cultural forces today like no other time in history to thwart God's orig...

“The Ones Who Didn’t Miss It” Throughout this series, we’ve seen countless people….who missed it. They were distracted, fearful or had doubts too great to catch what it was Jesus was offering them. Some missed the truth of who Christ was, others missed out on the adventure of following Him fully. BUT….thank God that scripture […]

We’ve already seen that God’s man can miss the adventure that God has for him, as well as missing God’s heart of love towards him. Beyond that we can be tempted to miss specific truths that Jesus wants to reveal to us. How can we live in such a way that we don’t miss it?

Jesus Christ rescued us. Offering Himself in our place, restoring us to the Father and giving us new life! And yet….so many followers of Jesus are still…. missing it. Missing the adventure Christ invited them into, missing the excitement of learning to hear His voice, missing the joy of reading His word. Why? Simply put…we’re distracted. […]

We all know what it’s like….to miss it. To miss a joke everyone is laughing at, to miss a train or a flight, and then to be forced to deal with the consequences. In these scenarios we are either the brunt of a joke or we find ourselves in an airport for longer than we’d […]

God is RELATIONAL. We start a relationship by believing in the person and work His Son. We believe that Jesus is God and that He died for us on the cross. When we do that God responds by saving us from sin and death and we become a child of God. That is called “Salvation.” […]

On any given day, we have dozens of interactions and conversations. In fact, one recent study revealed that the average person has 27 conversations every day, lasting an average of 10 minutes each. Look at that number. Seems high? Not when you think about it. "Good morning" echanges. Work interactions. Coffees. Lunch. Workouts. Waiters. Friends. Family. Kids practices and coaches. Teachers. Parent...

You are helping a buddy move. You test the weight of a box he has packed. You squat. You grab. You say to yourself, "I think I got this" and then you start to lift. You realize very quickly you don't have this! When something is heavy it is difficult to bear yourself. Here's the thing with men in particular - we want to do it alone. Gravity kicks in, makes you feel the real weight of things, and w...
