Choose Your Crew Wisely

How does the enemy consistently get men to fall for temptation? Simple... he opens with an invitation, not immediate attack. And here's what most men get wrong: they think strength means seeing how much temptation they can handle. It doesn't. In this episode, Steve Alessi digs into just nine words from Solomon that carry a lifetime of wisdom. Temptation isn't a possibility for a man trying to live for God; it's a certainty. You will be enticed to compromise your integrity, cut corners, look where you shouldn't. Solomon's answer isn't "manage it" or "see how close you can get." It's simpler AND harder than that.Listen to today's episode to find out how strong men avoid the effects of temptation with a simple strategy that can protect you from lifetime of regret. Verse of the Day: Proverbs 1:10 Your Daily Man-Up ChallengeAsk yourself two honest questions: Who is influencing me? And who am I becoming because of that influence? If there's a friendship, a conversation, an account, or an environment constantly pulling you from God, have the courage to create distance. Then reach out to one godly man — text him, invite him to coffee, ask him to hold you accountable. Every strong man needs strong men around him.Tap HERE to send us a text!NEW TO THE MEN’S MORNING DEVOTIONAL? Welcome!The Men's Morning Devotional is a podcast to help you man up in every way - in your faith, your family and your work - by spending a few minutes getting into the Word before you face the world. Every weekday, you'll get a challenge and encouragement from Scripture that speaks to the pressures you carry as a husband, a father, and a leader.
