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. You see, with an audiobook, you get a voice recording of devotional text that you listen to – rather than read. And …

Kings and careers and leaders and jobs are all appointed. Every role at work is a gift from God as well. Which means, when a situation at work arises that feels foreign, stressful, or threatening, we do not have to worry. There is a good outcome waiting for us. There …

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 …

Masculinity is the possession of qualities traditionally associated with men. Which begs the question, what qualities should a Christian man consider? I remember the first time I read about David’s mighty men. One killed a lion with his bare hands; in a pit, in the snow. Another killed a giant. …

Jobs can be draining. I’m sure that’s no surprise to you. They take up a third of our day (if not more) and require our constant effort to keep. No doubt, if you’re reading this, you are grateful for your work, but perhaps you never saw yourself working the grind …

Solomon was a smart guy. He built Jerusalem’s first temple. He wrote three books of the Bible (this one, this one, and this one). He was also the wisest and wealthiest (up to $2.1 trillion) King in the Old Testament. Solomon, by all accounts, was a capable decision maker. He …

Like many of you, I’d rest my laurels on “yanny” not being the word said in the latest video craze. But some people would disagree. They’d disagree with me three times, in fact. Which is odd because we both heard the same message – and came to widely different conclusions. …

Not long ago, I went to the store to buy some Easter candy for my wife. I love that she enjoys the little things. As I skimmed the aisle for some Christ-centered Cadbury, I was struck by this box of chocolate crosses. Competitively priced for $6.99. That’s $3.49 per cocoa …
