For The Men

Your real character is who you are behind closed doors. So who are you?

The lessons I’ve been learning in spiritual leadership will be a post I plan to share in the future, but it’s important to note that it was largely my laziness in leadership that kept me stuck where I was as a complacent Christian. 

You know, the Christian who says they put their faith in Jesus, that they believe in God, and show up to do the church thing on Sunday, but they walk back out those doors with zero heart change or transformation. One whose life doesn’t bear the fruit Paul talks about in Galatians 5. All because I wasn’t putting in the work to remain in him like Jesus tells us to do in John 15.

I know I had intended to previously write a man series, and that, like many things in my life, unfortunately fizzled. However I’ve recently found myself with the urge to write again, with the sole purpose to tell you all about it. My hope is that the lessons God has been graciously teaching me can also be a blessing to you and your family.

The other day I was lost in thought and wrestling with how you actually live a life of Joy. How do we not base our happiness on worldly things? How can anyone possibly not let their circumstances dictate their attitude? 

Becoming a man is a process, not an event. Becoming a man is forged in the fires of our lives and how we come out on the other side. It’s built on good morals and ethical behavior, selfless service, and biblical character. It’s built on God. Anything less will lead to immature boys in a man’s body.
