Marriage Monday #86
Read 2 verses of 1 Corinthians 13 each evening this week and discuss how this scripture can be applied to improve your marriage.
Got money?
If you're the kind of guy that has ambitions, taking the necessary steps to build a strong financial future is critical.
Walk away
There will be times when you're in the right. Times when you know you've got the upper hand and your testosterone is raging. But think ahead. Is it worth it?

Manhood Monday #1
How do you look? Body language sends tons of unspoken messages about the kind of person you are. It's like you're sending an invisible text message with each step you take. Show the world you're proud to be a man by keeping your shoulders back and head high. No matter what's coming your way today,... Continue Reading →
