Do you speak Christianese? It’s a unique language; with a platitude for everything under the liturgical sun. In fact, there are so many of these triune-turns-of-phrase you might consider removing the hedge of protection around them, if the Lord led. But I digress. Regardless of whether you like to hedge …

Who doesn’t want to do great things? Perhaps you want to build a business, have a successful career, or make a new idea come into fruition. Any one of those desires can be noble and God-honoring.  But if you want to do great things, or bring anything worthwhile into the …

“Be responsible.” is a slap-on-the-wrist-statement for most men. It’s normally used as a rebuke for not getting the job done like someone thinks we should. …not that you aren’t responsible. You probably are… But the act of responsibility, which is the obligation to do something or care for someone, is not …

Twice in the last week, I’ve been asked about work-life balance. Most recently, with a close friend over pancakes; early in the morning before either of our work days began. “How do you balance work with the rest of your life?” he said. The question always comes with a bit …

Anointing is a big word. A black hole even. It’s elusive, powerful, and hard to put your finger on. But it exists. And everyone else seems to know what it looks like. Most of the time those people are on stages. They sound good. They look sharp. They’re separated from …

What is the best audiobook devotional for Christian men? Well…not many exist. Which makes the good Christian audio devotionals for men all the harder to find. Especially for biblical study.

There are many types of thought leaders in the world. …Oprah …Deepak Chopra …the guy at the gym who just discovered plant-based protein. Just to name a few. And no matter your knowledge niche, there is always someone ready to give you their two cents, regardless of whether it pays …

Integrity is a target. Our principles, the arrows. Integrity tends to be one of those things we think about after we’ve done something wrong. The absence of air. We know we need it. And we know great leaders have it. But for most of us, integrity is in the ether. …

I hadn’t planned on writing about suicide this week. There are a number of things on my heart and mind that I would like to take priority. But because of the heightened reality of it in the news, and some not too distance Christian examples, I wanted to spend some …
