The Frontline Podcast For Christian Men

Anger is a totally normal emotion that we all deal with from time to time.  Sometimes anger can be good as a motivation to cause us to change things that need to be changed.  But uncontrolled anger does no good, and will only bring harm, hurt people and make things much worse.  Anger is a real battle of our flesh, and we will be tempted to allow it to determine what we say, how we s...

As Christian men, our entire life is lived out by faith in God and in His truth.  We don't see God with our eyes, we can't touch God with our hands, but we have faith in God that He is real and alive and faithfully with us each day, through every circumstance.  For us who have experienced the presence of God, we absolutely know, by faith, that He is good and real.  We are saved by G...

Every day we make many decisions.  Things we say, things we do, places we go, and people we hang with, are all decisions that we make.  Every one of these decisions have a motive behind them.  We have reasons for what we do, and it is important that we are honestly checking our motives behind everything.  We must question... Why do we do what we do?  Why do we post what we...

We are never called by God to live this life as a "lone wolf" Christian.  We will not succeed at life alone.  We need Christian brothers who will stand by our side and hold us up when we are worn out and discouraged from the battle.  We need brothers who will love us enough to hold us accountable in our life and to make sure we are pressing forward into the things of God, and not sl...

Every man will fail at times.  We all have different areas in life that will trip us up from time to time.  When we do fail, and we will, we must own our failure, confess to God and sometimes people our failure, and get up from our failure and move forward into following the Lord.  Your failure does not define who you are, Jesus defines who you are in the scriptures.  Don't all...

Jesus came to earth as fully God and fully man. He came to be our example of how to live. He came to preach about the kingdom of God. He came to die on the cross for our sin.  He came to resurrect back to life for our hope.  He ascended to heaven where He currently rules and reigns as the KING of all KINGS.  One day He will return and receive His people to be with Him for all eterni...

Marriage is a massive blessing from God and it is also a massive responsibility for men to live out their marriages God's way.  When a man marries a woman, God's will and command is that it is for a lifetime.  We cannot allow anything or anyone to come into our married life and bring division and separation between us and our wives.  God has called men to be the loving and serving l...

Sex is a beautiful and enjoyable creation of God for us to enjoy with our wives.  God's design for sex is to be used in only one way, and this is in the context of a married man and woman.  According to the Bible, all other sexual relations are not God's way and are immoral in His sight.  Men either have a pure, holy, appropriate and God honoring sex life, or we have an impure, unho...

Every man lives in our natural world where we see, touch, taste, smell and feel.  We also live in an online world with Google, Amazon, and social media platforms.  There is also a third life where men live the most, and this is within a mans thought life.  Studies say that we have approximately 6000 thoughts every day.  A lot of these thoughts we cannot control initially coming...

Men are called to work.  We are called to work hard to provide a living for our families.  Laziness in a man does not honor the Lord, but the committed and diligent hard work of a man brings great honor and glory to God.  Sometimes we need to work a job that we would rather not work, in order to faithfully provide for our family.  Sometimes we need to study and gain some educat...

The incredible reality and truth, that the God of all creation has openly invited us to talk to Him in prayer, is absolutely mind blowing, yet we can very easily NOT PRAY!  It is crucial that Christian men have a genuine and quality prayer life with the Lord.  We need this time and place to pour our hearts out to God, to thank God for all He has done, to seek His direction for us and our...

In the hustle and bustle of our lives, and because of the fallen and broken flesh that we live in, we can easily lose sight of a proper perspective of our lives.  We can either view our life through the lens of our flesh, our feelings and emotions, what society and culture says, or even through the lens of our financial status.  These are NOT healthy perspectives to view our lives throug...

God is with you!  Right now, no matter what you are going through, He is with you!  That is absolutely amazing!  We don't serve some far off, distant God who knows nothing about us or has no interest in us.  No, we serve a loving and faithful God who is our Father who cares deeply about us.  He loves you so much that He came down to earth to be with you. He is with you eve...

At times in our lives, we will find ourselves really needing some help.  As men, we can easily allow our pride to prevent us from admitting that we really do need help.  We face a lot of opposition against us gentlemen.  Everything from the struggle against sin, addictions, anger, anxiety, depression, marriage and family trouble, stress on the job, financial pressure and many other...

A crucial part of every Christian mans life is walking in self control.  Our flesh wants to indulge in all of the sinful desires that it craves, but we are called by God to resist the sins of our flesh.  The way that we do this is by using self control.  Self control is an active fruit and defensive weapon in the life of every Christian, given to us by the Holy Spirit.  When we...

In the spirit of celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, I thought we would discuss the importance of being men of gratitude before God and people.  We really do have so much to be thankful for gentlemen.  God has blessed us with so many good things, but we can easily not see them because our attention is so focused on what we don't have, or what we want to see happen in our live...

One of the most frustrating things for a Christian man, is not having clear direction for his life.  Not knowing where to work, who to marry, where to live or how to spend his time can drive a man nuts and in fact lead him to a dark place of depression.  Thankfully God has not left us to ourselves to figure out our lives.  He has given us His word which is a lamp unto our feet and a...

God loves people.  God has compassion towards people who are lost.  Even followers of Jesus at times can find themselves straying from the sheepfold where they have safety, provision and the leading of the shepherd.  We are so valuable to God that he goes to extreme measures to come and find us and bring us back to Himself.  Even if we are the only one who has strayed,  Go...

I really need God!  I desperately need Him.  I recognize that every moment of every day, I really need Him in my life.  I desire that He holds me when I am weak and can't stand alone.  I long for Him to comfort me when I am hurting.  I am a man who really needs God and I am not ashamed to admit this.  I am sure that if you are an honest follower of Jesus, that you fee...

We all have something to offer this world.  God has given us all talents, abilities, giftings, wisdom, and resources to offer.  If we choose to not offer to God what we have been given, then He cannot use us to our full potential and to the extent that He truly desires.  My encouragement for you, is to take what you've got, begin to use it, and see what God will do with it.  I...

We are all running a race.  Our race is called LIFE.  Jesus has called us, as Christian men, to run the race with endurance until the END!  We will be tempted along the way to quit and throw in the towel, but we want to be men who finish the race where we will receive our reward!  The two most important things for us to do, until we take our last breath, is to believe God and e...

Christian men who desire to lead their families in the ways of God, are prime targets of the enemy's attacks. Satan tries to break men down with lies, intimidation, and the battles of their minds. He tries to lead them astray with temptations and the lusts of the flesh, with hopes of destroying their lives. Many times we can really feel the heat of the battle that we are in, and we can feel like w...

Yesterday is over! There is nothing that you can do about yesterday.  Tomorrow is not promised.  All you can do about tomorrow, is to trust that God grants you one.  So often we can live as if we are invincible.  We can so easily become so focused on all of our plans, our dreams, our wants and desires, that we actually forget the God who gave us life and opportunity to do anyth...

Every house, every structure, and every building requires a firm foundation.  If there is no firm and solid foundation, the house will eventually crumble and fall when it is exposed to long term wind, rain, and the storms that will certainly hit it.  Much like a house, we as men need to build our lives upon a firm foundation.  We will face many storms in life that will oppose us and...

On today's podcast I share with you some stories I experienced on my recent 11 days of vacation with my family.  We travelled by way of our Toyota Rav4 across two Canadian provinces, to visit my brother and his family in New Brunswick.  God provided us some much needed rest, relaxation, fun and adventure, along with some good east coast sea food.  We experienced a semi extreme canoe...
