In the opener of HOLD THE LINE, Alexx makes the case that the constant feeling of being behind isn't a discipline problem, it's a weight problem — and walks through what changes, using Abraham Lincoln's Civil War years as the picture, when a man stops carrying everything alone. In T...

You don't have to have had a great father to be one.

Drawing from Ephesians 6:4 and 2 Corinthians 1:3–4, this conversation chall...

Father's Day surfaces something different in every man — gratitude, grief, complexity, pressure, or some combination of all four.

And what that father shows us about God changes everything about how we...

Drawing from...
