Have you ever observed a gardener plant a garden? I don’t mean a vegetable or herb garden. I mean a landscaped garden. A peaceful place to walk and enjoy the beautiful wildlife. When a gardener plants trees, shrubs, and flowers, they have to think years ahead. If they only designed their gardens for what theyContinue reading “Think Like A Gardener”

What Kind of Father Are You?
What kind of father are you? Are you the kind of father who is present, engaged, teaching, disciplining and loving? Or are you the type of father who is absent, unstable, weak, and effeminate? Pope John XXIII wrote, “It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.”Continue reading “What Kind of Father Are You?”
Failure Is Not An Option
My favorite movie is Apollo 13. I was about 10 when it came out and I was obsessed with NASA and space.

Masturbation and Lust
I’m excited to have a guest post from Hugh Houston, pastor and author of Jesus Is Better Than Porn. Pornography and masturbation almost always walk hand in hand. This was a huge problem for me.

I Just Don’t Feel Like It

Great Men Need Great Mentors
Look at almost every great man throughout history and you’ll find a common thread among them. They had a mentor. Plato had Socrates, Abraham Lincoln had Henry Clay, even Michael Jordan had Phil Jackson. We all need a mentor.

Why Am I Stuck?
How many times has this thought come to your mind, “Why do I keep doing this? I want to quit. I keep trying, but I keep messing up. Why am I stuck?” This is a thought shared by almost every man who’s ever been addicted. You’re trying so hard to defeat this enemy, yet youContinue reading “Why Am I Stuck?”
Winning The Small Battles
There’s an old adage that says, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” The idea is that you can’t build something as great and mighty as ancient Rome quickly. It takes time, effort, and patience to build something that is strong and lasting. Too many men, in their battles with porn and sex addiction, try toContinue reading “Winning The Small Battles”
Make Yourself Uncomfortable
How comfortable are you right now? Are you lounging on the couch? Lying in bed? Sitting at your desk? I hope you aren’t driving while you read this. Ask yourself, when was the last time you were uncomfortable. I don’t mean when was the last time that tag on your t-shirt bothered you. I meanContinue reading “Make Yourself Uncomfortable”
