Happy New Year from Trail Life USA!

On my honor,
I will do my best
To serve God and my country;
To respect authority;
To be a good steward of creation;
And to treat others as I want to be treated.

The goal of the Christian life is not striving, it’s resting; it is not works, it’s faith; is not ease, it’s peace, it is not righteousness, it’s relationship - yet there can be no relationship, no peace, no faith, no rest without righteousness. Because God is holy, those who enter his presence must be holy. It is a standard we cannot achieve (Rom 6:23). So God achieved it for us.

We can add nothing to it. Yet as our hearts align with his, we become like him – we begin to emulate our Father. When we approach him in humility and faith – when we accept the free gift of forgiveness offered through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ -- we are transformed.

As we spend time with the Father, as we know him, as we see him, as we understand his goodness and love, we are indelibly attracted. We cannot remain unchanged, and we are transformed into his likeness.

Too often, perfection or mission become the object of the Christian life. We fail to rest in and trust the perfect one who conceived the mission so that we may walk in it together.

Only as we abide in Christ do we bear fruit. Without him we can do nothing. (John 15:5) When we strive on our own, we fall short.
The good news of Christmas is that Christ is Enough. And he is less interested in our striving than he is interested in us.

Righteousness is the fruit of right relationship. God knew our effort cannot create righteousness so he stepped into time to show us, and sent the Spirit to dwell in us.

As we live in His presence, we are transformed. As we trust His provision we are secure. As we spend time together WITH Him, we begin to reflect His image. "The fruit of righteousness is peace and the effect of righteousness is quietness and confidence forever." (Isa 32:17)

This is the hope of Christmas. This is the antidote to the soul crushing pressure to climb an endless ladder of achievement. This is a balm of hope from disappointment. Emmanuel- God is WITH us! This is the good news of Christmas we must impart to our sons.

This Christmas, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Rom 15:13)

Today we honor and thank our veterans for your service, courage and sacrifice. We pray for our Veterans that God would bless them and their families. We pray that those on duty would be protected. Trail Life strives to teach the trailmen the importance of honor and respect. We should take the opportunity to help and bless veterans when able examples include donating clothing to the Veterans drop off sites, helping those in need, calling local VA offices and asking how can we help, sending cards and care packages, and simply thanking them for their service when you see them out in their attire (uniform, caps, shirts etc). Thank you Veterans 🇺🇸🇺🇸

As parents, one of the most powerful gifts we can give our sons is the strength to stand firm when temptation comes knocking. Ephesians 6 calls us to “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”

In today’s world, boys and men face countless distractions and dangers. That’s why they need more than good intentions—they need a strategy. A battle plan.

At Trail Life, we’re equipping communities of courageous men with the tools to lead their sons into battle—prepared, not passive. It’s time to stand firm and R.E.S.I.S.T.

“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” – James 4:7

🔥 See the full battle plan and share it with the men in your life:
