Sat // Build :: Encouragement
Title: People keep it hidden But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” – Heb 3:13a Most of the people you come into contact with on a daily basis are dealing with discouragement on one level or another.

Title: Back pain Set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12b “Just Stop!” I screamed this as the therapist pushed and prodded on my back as I writhed in pain. She was trying to find the source of my pain in order […]
Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: Just Grin and Bear it! For the battle is not yours, but God’s. Chronicles 20:15 We cannot simply just grin and bear it and “things will get better”. Our battle is not with our boss, getting that promotion, our finances, and bills, being a better father….the list goes on and on. Our BIGGEST battle […]

Tue // Fuel :: Spirit

Title: Extinguish a prideful fall Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall – Deuteronomy 6:5 Pride is such a big topic. It is so big the sub-topics are endless. Why is that? It is one of the tools that Satan goes to the most. Pride can get us into trouble so fast […]
Sun // Sacrifice :: Worship
Title: My broken life Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. – Romans 12:1b Our word “worship” comes from an Old English word that can be roughly translated “worth-ship.” What do my actions in this body (physical, mental, and emotional) show about where, […]
Sat // Build :: Kingdom
Title: Avoid risk management But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. – Matthew 6:33 Leading up to this verse Jesus said, “Don’t worry about tomorrow.” Most guys I know worry about tomorrow. We worry about work, family, finances, temptation, etc. And in response […]
Fri // Steel :: Truth
Title: What is God wanting to free you from? Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. – John 8:32 It is certain that you and I will navigate seasons that upend us. They will shake loose pretense and any facade that has been constructed to “get us by.” Those […]
Thu // Warrior :: Engage
Title: Get your hands dirty For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. – Ephesians 6:12 You can’t work on your car without getting grease on you. You also […]
