Wednesday // Grit :: Character
Title: Bad Company Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33 Corruption feels like something is rotting. What once had a noble purpose has turned inward, driven by personal gain at others’ expense. And it doesn’t happen quickly. It can be a slow rot. You might even have some friends who […]
Thursday // Warrior :: Weapons
Title: No Excuse Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. – Ephesians 6:11 God has made available to you everything you need to experience victory over the devil’s schemes. Everything. You are without excuse. If you are ill-equipped, it isn’t because God has […]
Sunday // Sacrifice :: Stand
Title: Stand for the right thing Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you.

Tuesday // Fuel :: Wisdom
Title: Reflect and anticipate Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse. – Proverbs 2:12 We’re approaching the end of the year, and we can reflect on the past and look forward to the future. I imagine you’ll do both. As you reflect, can you say that […]
Wednesday // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: It’s God’s race Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c I’ve never been able to run for an extended period, and I didn’t want to give up. To me, running and perseverance go hand in hand. There are times (perhaps today) you will want to give up. Stop […]
Saturday // Build :: Honor
Title: Honor others Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. – Romans 12:10 Men who give honor to others often receive it back. They create an atmosphere of devotion, love, and respect. They are thermostats instead of thermometers. We need you to be like this. Your family needs you […]
Friday // Steel :: Passion
Title: Something Fresh Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. – Deuteronomy 6:5 If you see passion in someone’s life, you’ll usually find something fresh, new, and filled with mystery. And the inverse is true… When I find my walk with God growing stale, stagnant, or less passionate, it’s usually because I’ve slipped into a routine that is divorced from trusting God with the […]
Tuesday // Fuel :: Wisdom
Title: What wisdom provides Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse. – Proverbs 2:12 AW Tozer once said, “Wisdom provides a path for the highest good, for the greatest number, for the longest time.” I like that. It gives me something to aspire to. Because we […]
Saturday // Build :: Encouragement
Title: Be deliberate Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today” – Hebrews 3:13a Today is all we have with those that we love. And the frequency of it can facilitate a mundane response. Do your wife, kids, and co-workers see you as someone who encourages them? Can they point to a moment […]
Sunday // Sacrifice :: Worship
Title: Just an Act Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. – Romans 12:1b Men act in all sorts of ways. We can act tough, strong, dependable, profitable…even spiritual. As men, it is easy to “act” spiritually. We might define it differently, but […]
