Messages That Lead to Godly Men
These messages have been handpicked for men who are figuring out work, family, and faith. Whether you’re tackling big questions or just looking for a fresh perspective, this collection is built to challenge, encourage, and move you forward.
Faith With Feet
Faith is only real when it is lived out through action, as true belief in Jesus leads to a transformed life that reflects God’s love in every area.
Bottomless Pit
Greed is a bottomless pit that never satisfies, but Jesus teaches that true fulfillment comes not from acquiring more, but from gratitude.
Love God, Love People
Loving God with all your heart leads to an outpouring of love for others, as shown in the story of the Good Samaritan.
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.”
1 Corinthians 16:13-14
