Most likely, your own view of hell has changed over the years. You had a childhood version of it...

Many men that didn't serve in the military have a sense of regret or shame. They wonder, do I have what it takes to have been a good soldier, airman, or seaman?

Unlike the way social media portrays success, for those of us who life in reality life has a lot of ups and downs and unexpected twists. As men, we need to respond to those as gracefully as possible without completely losing our perspective on the bigger picture.

Just when I dared to hope that wokeness was on it's final breath, I experienced it in both subtle and not so subtle ways in a group of Christians. Third Way Christianity is something we need to be very aware of.

Giving advice or tough feedback doesn't always go as planned. Many men avoid it altogether until it absolutely has to be addressed. In this episode, I'll share some tips on how to give tough love that has helped me in many instances over the years.

There is a modern trend toward cynicism and it's not just old guys on their porches yelling about teenagers. It's an infectious mindset that settles in and robs us of our joy in life.

America needs a reinvigoration of its masculine spirit, grounded in Christ. In order to do this, we need brotherhoods. No more of the lone wolf mentality that has had a grip on us for the last few decades. It's time for men to lead again. Guilds is one of the ways we get there.

Abraham Maslow created his hierarchy of needs, which most of us are familiar with. But there are some important aspects he didn't consider which relate to how we mature and find steadiness in modern life.
