Man Alive

This week we tackle one of life’s deepest questions: If God is good, why does He allow so much pain, evil, and futility in the world? From personal tragedies like our daughter’s death last year to global disasters, for many of us suffering is often the greatest challenge to our faith. We’ll look at how Christian thinkers have answered this question, what the Bible teaches, and how Jesus Himself sh...

Many men feel tension between what science teaches and what Christianity claims. But what if that tension isn’t necessary? What if both disciplines are actually asking different—but equally important—questions? Join Pat Morley as we explore how science and theology can complement one another. You’ll learn how to respond with confidence when someone claims that science has disproven faith, and how...

You’ve probably heard the saying, “ The enemy of best is settling for good .” Sometimes we settle because we don’t want to risk failure. Other times, fear keeps us from stepping outside our comfort zone. But Jonah’s story flips the script—he wasn’t afraid of failing. He was afraid of succeeding!   Join Ronn Read as he opens the scriptures for us!

This week, we’re diving into what it truly means to love others—and why it’s central to our faith. Scripture reminds us that love isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a command from Jesus Himself. Join  Jim Angelakos  as we refocus on the heart of Christianity: not rules, but a relationship with Jesus that compels us to love deeply and sincerely. You’ll be encouraged in your walk with Christ an...

This week, we’ll examine whether belief in God is actually the  most  rational conclusion—not a leap into the dark, but a step into the light. Join Pat Morley as we walk through classic proofs for God’s existence. Learn a powerful illustration that can help you gently challenge the assumption that faith is irrational. You’ll gain clarity for your own belief—and practical language to help...

This week, we’ll look at how many people—perhaps even people you love—have rejected Christianity not because they understand it, but because they’ve only been exposed to shallow soundbites and distortions of the real thing. Join Pat Morley as we uncover the heart of Christianity—not rules or performance, but a person: Jesus. You’ll be strengthened in your own faith  and  equipped to lovi...

This week we’ll explore the three major belief systems most men follow—secular, moral, and religious—and why all of them, ultimately, break down. Join Pat Morley as we examine the quiet assumptions that shape men’s lives, and how Christianity offers not performance, but peace.  Discover how to help the men you lead recognize the signs of restlessness, and point them to something more solid an...

Join Pat Morley as we examine four belief systems—secular, moral, religious, and Christian—and explore why so many of them fail us. We’ll also look at how Solomon—who had everything—ended up saying, “I hated life.” This message will not only help you evaluate your own system, but also equip you to walk with someone you care about who’s starting to realize  their  system isn’t workin...

Some men are restless because life hasn’t worked out like they hoped—dreams delayed, plans derailed, purpose unclear. Others are restless because it  did  work out—but it didn’t satisfy. Either way, they’re asking the same quiet question:  Why do I still feel this way? If you're mentoring, discipling, or leading men, you've already met both types. One man is discouraged by what he’s...

You already know this: if you could have made that change on your own, it would have happened by now. On the other hand, we’ve all watched men’s lives radically transformed. We’ve seen it with our own eyes.  Not much will change for the better apart from Jesus—but we also have a part to play.  Watch this week's study and learn some practical steps for change that actually work—and how th...

None of us ever plans to fail. So how do we get off track? What makes us stumble? And why do some of us even fall away?  One of the biggest reasons is that we don’t have to answer to anyone for our lives. And let’s be honest, don’t we naturally kind of like it that way?  But most of us also understand that we need to be in accountable relationships—although few actually do it.  Join...

Most of us would be embarrassed if our families, friends, or colleagues knew what went on inside our heads. But here’s the good news: You’re not crazy. A secret thought life is normal. The question is: What kind of secret life are you leading—holy or profane? In this week's study, we explore the battle for our private thoughts, how God provides the help we need to win that battle, and a couple of...

What made men we look up to like Peter, Paul, David, Moses, Gideon, Samson, Jonah, and Job so different? After the smoke cleared, God could trust them in both big and little things. Were they perfect? Thank God for us, no. But in the end, second only to their faith, it was integrity that set them apart. Join Pat Morley as we pull the mask off this problem, consider what’s at stake, and think throu...

What is making you suffer? Do you think God knows what you’re going through? If He knows, does He care? If He knows and cares, can He do anything about it? And if He can, why doesn’t He? Join Pat Morley as we wrestle with these hard questions. Explore what we gain from suffering that we can gain no other way, and consider how to respond when the pain just seems too much to bear.

Men want to be in charge—to call the shots. And in many ways, God has given us the freedom to lead, build, and take responsibility. But freedom isn’t the same thing as autonomy. Still, we chase it. We try to control our circumstances. We “strive" for financial independence. We just want to be left alone to do our own thing. But Jesus offers something completely different:  radical dependence...

The Big Idea: I pledge not to sin when I get angry, but openly confess I can’t do it on my own. Studies show that 75 – 90% of all doctor’s office visits are stress-related, and the most destructive form of stress is anger. Anger is not a sin–Jesus got angry, but anger can easily get out of control. Few emotions are as corrosive. Unbridled, it destroys relationships and careers. Unresolved, it can...

Everyone struggles with fear: What if this deal falls through? Will she ever feel safe with me again? Will I be able to make payroll? Is it cancer? How am I going to pay my mortgage? What kind of world are my children going to grow up in? Fear is a normal human emotion. But not everyone knows how to handle it, and some of us are paralyzed by a spirit of fear. Join Pat Morley as we explore how Jesu...

Has pride taken a toll on your career, reputation, and relationships? If so, you’re in good company. In fact, pride is the mother of all troubles for most men. Pride will hold back (or wreck) your career, damage (or destroy) your reputation, and tear down (or ruin) your most important relationships. In fact, pride will even pit you against God: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble...

Most of us wish we had more time to get everything done. It’s frustrating and stressful. You already know this, but you have all the time you need to do everything God wants you to do. The question is, how?  Join Pat Morley and hone 3 skills that will put you in—or back in—control of your time, help you get more done, and reduce frustration and stress. 

Pressure is coming at us from every direction—work, family, finances, health. With more to do than time to do it, how do you decide what really matters?  Join Pat Morley as we explore five biblical priorities that can bring clarity, peace, and purpose to your daily life. If you’re feeling stretched thin or struggling to stay motivated, this is a study you won’t want to miss.

Most of life’s big decisions—such as changing jobs, moving, relationships, or ministry—aren’t directly answered in Scripture. So how do you know what God wants you to do? Join Pat Morley and together we will walk through a biblical process that can help you make wise, godly choices with confidence.  If you’re facing a big decision (or want to be ready for the next one), you won’t want to miss...

What should be your financial aspirations? Whether you’re doing well, just getting started, or trying to recover, your biblical IQ about money is about to get a big bump! In this lesson Patrick Morley will help you find clarity: Is it okay to want riches? Is it okay to make a lot of money? Should a Christian sock away money? How much do you “have to” share with others? When is it okay to borrow mo...

We all need money—but is it really delivering what it promises? Jesus had a lot to say about money, and not all of it was comfortable.  Tomorrow, join Pat as we look at three competing perspectives on money—and discover why only one truly leads to peace and purpose.  If you’ve ever wondered how to balance faith and finances, this is a Bible study you won’t want to miss.

Brothers, we all know that friendships are a gift—but why are they so hard to start and even harder to keep? Most men live with a friendship deficit, leaving them isolated and vulnerable.   Join Pat Morley, and we’ll unpack what a true friend really looks like and how to build the kind of friendships that stand the test of time.   Don’t miss this chance to strengthen your relationships a...
