Join The PORN FREE 2021 Challenge
A new year is a time to reflect and a time to look ahead. It’s a time when we set goals and try to make needed changes in our lives. Unfortunately, many times those changes don’t even last until February. So, this year, I’m not asking you to make a New Year’s resolution. I’m asking […]
Covid, Porn, and Human Sex Trafficking – A Vicious Combination
This week I’m happy to have a guest post from Melanie Trammell-Wenger. Melanie is an advocate raising awareness about human sex trafficking.

Will I Be Remembered When I’m Gone?
Over half of my life has been spent working in funeral homes. I started at age 16 as an after school job in high school and I’m still doing it now. In over 18 years in this business, I’ve seen a lot of things. I’ve seen tragedies too many to count. I’ve seen heartbreak you […]
Let’s Talk About SEX
Where did you first learn about sex? Did you get the birds and the bees talk from your parents? Did you learn about it in health class at school? Maybe an older sibling told you what it was? Or, like many men, including myself, you weren’t taught about sex at all and you learned about […]

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. I was fortunate to have several men who came into my life and saw me for […]
TIME
We all wish we had more time. Time to ourselves. Time to relax. Time to engage in our hobbies. Time to do whatever we want to do. Well, now we have it. Because of the quarantine, many of us are locked down in our own home with nothing but a ton of extra time and […]
Are There False Idols In Your Life?
This weekend, many people across the world are confined to their homes by the COVID-19 virus and subsequent shutdown of most of society. We’ve all found ourselves with a lot of free time on our hands. Things we used to spend copious amounts of time and energy on have been taken away. Since so many […]
Who Is Your Best Friend?
I’ve been talking about friendship quite often recently. It’s an important aspect of men’s lives that very often gets overlooked. Men have buddies, but it’s becoming rare to have close, intimate friendships. One comment that has come up repeatedly in my discussions with men regarding friendship is the statement, “my wife is my best friend.” […]
