Mountain Moments: Living from Victory, Not for Victory

One of the traps I’ve fallen into more times than I can count is believing I need to fight my way to victory. If I just worked harder, prayed longer, or tried to be a better man, maybe then I’d finally “win” at this Christian life. But the more I’ve wrestled with that idea, theContinue reading “Mountain Moments: Living from Victory, Not for Victory”

Silent Struggles: More Than Enough

Part 8 of the “What Men Carry and How God Lifts” Series If you’ve followed this series, you know by now that every struggle we’ve talked about – feeling like you’re not enough, feeling invisible, feeling exhausted and alone – has one thing in common: the weight of expectations. Expectations from the world. From family.Continue reading “Silent Struggles: More Than Enough”

Be Wary of Debt

Proverbs 22:7 – “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.” I’ll be honest, this is one of those principles I wish I had fully grasped in my twenties.

Blessing Is Attached to Diligence

Proverbs 10:4 – “Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.” One of the biggest lies we’re sold today is that success is about luck.Right place, right time. Right connection. Right break. But when I look at the people I admire most—those who’ve built something lasting, those who live with purpose and peace—it’sContinue reading “Blessing Is Attached to Diligence”

Honesty Is a Big Deal

Ephesians 4:28 – “Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.” I’ve worked in environments where cutting corners wasn’t just accepted—it was expected.
