The Pursuit of Manliness

Send us Fan Mail If you could narrow your focus and effort in this life, what would you say you really wanted? What are you looking for? Where is your focus?  We can answer these questions verbally, but our actions and use of time often prove otherwise.  On this weeks podcast we are going to drill into that question "What Do You Really Want" by taking a look at the arrest and betrayal of...

Send us Fan Mail On this weeks PoM Podcast episode I encourage you to define your reality when it comes to your past, present and future. What I mean is to grab and accurate understanding of your past and how it is impacting what you are doing now. If you continue on this path, how well is that going to work out for you?

Send us Fan Mail One Degree. It doesn’t sound like much but what often appears subtle almost always grows into something significant. The Christian life is not one to be lived parallel to Jesus, rather abiding in or as Paul says, “Grafted into Christ.” (Romans 11:17-24) Make sure to connect with us on our other social media platforms as well:  Facebook: Facebook.com/PursueManliness  Facebook Close...

Send us Fan Mail Love may be one of the most manipulated words in any language. We throw it around flippantly. Create our own ideas about it. And if we are honest as men, do not do a good job of understanding it. In John 13:34-35 Jesus tells His disciples to love just as He did. This would actually be how people would know that we are His disciples. If the call to understand love accurately is tha...

Send us Fan Mail If we are going to be men of God who make an impact, on this life and the next, if we are going to raise our children to surrender to Jesus, if we are going to show young men how to be real men, we have to eliminate the option to fail and burn the ships in our life.

Send us Fan Mail In John 13 Jesus gives us an example to follow; wash one another's feet. While the example has been used ad nauseam of actually washing someone's feet, we can not miss the fact that as men, we must be the ones who set the example of serving one another.

Send us Fan Mail On today's PoM Podcast episode I ask the question "Can Men Reach The Church?" I know we typically ask it the other way around, but with the trajectory of manhood and the state of the current church culture I think it's time we look at it from a different perspective.

Send us Fan Mail When it comes to growth in a Christian's life, we need to understand that growth takes time while sin that can wreck us takes only minutes. Growth, real genuine growth is not microwaved or manipulated. Real growth takes time. Real growth takes conviction, cultivation and commitment. Growth takes months, sin takes minutes. What is the solution? Go all in. Make sure to connect...

Send us Fan Mail Everyday before I leave the house I do the exact same thing. I bring all my stuff to the living room. Walk to the kitchen, grab my Stanley Thermos fill it up with whatever coffee is still in the pot then prepare the leave. Spiritually the same things happens. But if I am not careful, what I fill up with, I never pour out. Make sure to connect with us on our other social media plat...

Send us Fan Mail We can certainly be our own worst enemies, left alone we can find ourselves in plenty of predicaments, and being alone is exactly where Satan wants us to be. We can believe our own excuses that we don't need relationships or have time for them. But that is a lie.  Men need to surround themselves with the right kind of men who encourage them, challenge them and keep them on th...

Send us Fan Mail On Episode 182 are talking about our faith, specifically in light of Hebrews 11 and what it cost those who walked with God. When we consider the role that faith should play in our life why do some men try to keep it a private while others seem to be much more confident to share their faith?

Send us Fan Mail The sin of passivity is destroying us. We don’t have the victories like we should because we are not willing to engage in the battles. In Joshua 12 it tells us that Joshua and his men waged war against 31 kings. Why didn't the previous generation do this? It is not because they did not have the skill, they did not have the will. Passive men do not wage war against kings. Make...

Send us Fan Mail On today’s podcast I am going to share four points to consider when you are reading The Word and ultimately taking what you read and communizing it to God through prayer and applying it to your life. If we are not careful the Bible becomes a box to check, and prayer is something we always feel guilty about. If we decide to read the Word with intentionality and converting that into...

Send us Fan Mail When I first began in ministry someone told me "Fake it until you make it.' The problem is I think I am still trying to "make it." From a food truck business to podcasters, photographers, website guys and Pastors, a common dilemma they all wrestle with is known as "The Imposter Syndrome." On today's podcast I unpack the dilemma of the imposter sy...

Send us Fan Mail In Acts 4:13 the Apostles are referred to as "uneducated, common men." The key was they were recognized as men that "had been with Jesus." The Gospel is not complicated. We need to realize we have the same Holy Spirit available to us and the same message that these men had when they were turning the world upside down. Make sure to connect with us on our other s...

Send us Fan Mail On today's podcast I share how this phrase has been marinating in my mind for quite some time now. When I look at the "Old Timers" the guys with a little more life experience I notice how their approach to life is radically different than mine. If I can learn to slow down, calm down and look up I hope I will learn these lessons soon. Make sure to connect with us on...
