(Armor of God Series – Final Post) Over these past weeks, we’ve walked piece by piece through the armor of God – the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit, and finally, the power of prayer that bringsContinue reading “Standing Firm: Living Fully Armored”

The Shield of Faith – Defending Against Doubt
(Part 4 of the Armor of God series) When Paul describes the armor of God, he doesn’t talk about if we’ll face attacks – he assumes we will. Faith, he says, is what protects us when those attacks come. Ephesians 6:16 says, “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with whichContinue reading “The Shield of Faith – Defending Against Doubt”
The End of the Series – But Not the End of the Journey
We’ve come to the end of the Silent Struggles series, but not the end of the story – because the silent struggles of men don’t disappear overnight. They’re real. They’re heavy. And they often show up when no one else sees. But here’s what I hope you’ve discovered: you’re not alone in those battles. You’reContinue reading “The End of the Series – But Not the End of the Journey”
Silent Struggles: My Voice Doesn’t Matter
If you’ve gone quiet – not out of pride, but out of protection – let this be a reminder:
Your voice was never meant to be buried under your burdens.
It was meant to bless, build, and bring truth.
So speak gently. Speak wisely. Speak boldly.
God hears you.
Your family needs you.
And your voice still matters.

Politics Schmolitics
For those of you that know me personally, you know that I have no desire to debate politics with you, unless of course you are my oldest son. If you are my oldest son, I will debate politics with you – because we have very similar beliefs but my number one job as your fatherContinue reading “Politics Schmolitics”
What do I do?
So many times, as men, we define ourselves by the career we are in or what we do for a living. You can witness this by the very first question we ask each other upon introductions – “what do you do?” And that’s IF we weren’t introduced by our name quickly followed by our profession.Continue reading “What do I do?”
The Other Side
To me, one of the most confusing aspects of our world, especially our country, and even in our Church, is the divisive and combative nature of our interactions. It is almost as if we are not allowed to disagree, at least not without despising each other. Sure we all have our opinions. Yes, we allContinue reading “The Other Side”
Everyone Gets a Trophy
Every generation thinks the one before lost touch and didn’t understand the plights our generation faces. And the next generation is soft and has it easier than we do. Neither thought is completely accurate. Many things are easier for each generation, but many things are harder or more complicated. One is not better than theContinue reading “Everyone Gets a Trophy”
Letting Go
My kids are already better humans than I was at their age. But that doesn’t stop me from expecting and hoping for more from them. My beautiful bride and I have worked tirelessly for 20 years to prepare and provide for them. We have tried to raise them to strive for better. Not better stuff,Continue reading “Letting Go”
