What does it mean that you have been bought at a price, the precious blood of Jesus?

What does that say about how valuable you are to Him? What does that require of you as a man?

Bible Passage: "You are not your own, you were bought at a price." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV) Scripture Reading: Romans 5:1-21 At some point in my life,

Much is being discussed about this topic these days, but if you are unfamiliar, the “manosphere” is a loosely defined term referencing a range of online male influencers and communities that promote “hyper-masculine” ideas.

Dominated by personalities like Andrew Tate, Myron Gaines, and others, the manosphere doesn’t subscribe to a single worldview but, overall, emphasizes that men should be strong, productive, and thriving.

Nothing crazy so far! There’s a good chance you agree.

But it’s what comes next that is concerning.

It's pretty cool when you get to watch Netflix "for work." Highly recommended, if you can pull it off without getting fired. In my case, it was a

No matter your social or financial status in your neighborhood, the real purpose of your being there is to serve everyone around you.

Part of understanding your identity in Christ is knowing that you were meant to work in partnership with others. The job is too big for one person to do on their own. God designed us to function best when we function with others!

The Shop Owner knows what He is doing. Humble yourself and listen to His desire that you work with, support, and rely on others.

Bible Passage: "But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ, from whom the whole body,

You were made for a purpose, but not for every purpose. It can be easy to spread yourself too thin or to ignore others who might be able to help you.

You are part of God’s garage. Let Him show you what you should do. Let Him be the shop owner!

Bible Passage: "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." (Ephesians

As we start this week, think about your garage or tool area. Think about what you have in there and the purpose, cost, and usefulness of each item.

What does Jesus want to say to you about your purpose, cost, and usefulness?

Bible Passage: “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” (Psalm 24:1 NIV) Scripture Reading: Psalm 100:1-5

Men are often future-oriented. We look forward to what may be with an expectancy that allows us to endure the present.

When I get the promotion; when the kids are older; when things settle down; when I’m more disciplined and mature…

This leaves us only half present in our own lives, ignoring the opportunities and sometimes the people that grace our present days.

Bible Passage: “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and

Many men are living in spiritually dry valleys, disconnected from God and purpose. Some have drifted from faith, others have never encountered Christ. But as in Ezekiel 37, God’s vision isn’t just restoration, it’s renewal for a greater purpose.

What was once lifeless can rise again and change the world!

Your support keeps hope alive in the valleys, an act of faith that transformation is possible. Will you join us this summer in raising an army from dry bones?

Suffering is not optional. Sometimes it seems the unavoidable norm.

Men tend to process suffering in one of two ways (admittedly, that is a dramatic oversimplification—you may find yourself outside these two stereotypical categorizations):

Denial or over-interpretation.

We either endure it with as much stoic detachment as we can muster, or we see suffering as a sign that something has gone wrong with God.

Bible Passage: “You are always righteous, Lord, when I bring a case before you. Yet I would speak with you about your justice: Why does the way of the
