Growth Cuts Different Ways
While working in the yard, this thought came to me about our personal growth. Many of us may or may not like the idea of wanting or needing to grow. Is it necessary for what's ahead? Absolutely! Is it all peaches and cream? Nope. Matter of fact, there will be potholes, hills and valleys ahead.…

Space: Room to heal
Guys, we often take our cave experience as a place to drown in our sorrows. So many issues in life can make us want to give up. You're not alone. The prophet Elijah (1 Kings 19:9), literally in a cave, heard the voice of our sovereign God. Dealing with a personal threat upon his life, believing...
-
Understanding Your Space
One thing I believe we all understanding better during Covid-19 was our own personal space. Having to stand three of six feet behind someone, in hopes to ensure no one gets sick. Our personal space became more precious that we ever thought it would. As we grow, allowing or disallowing others into...

Foundation of Men: Identity
The key to any one man navigating life is his true identity. With that, he's now able to walk more confidently into what he has been called to. Gideon was that man. After receiving that one word from God, he walked towards his purpose.

Inguinal Hernia: update #3
Very important, guys. Know if your doctor is in-network or out-of-network. Also, make sure to utilize the benefits of insurance fully, such as HSA, HRA, FSA cards. They can be useful in many ways.

Promiscuity: Spilling the seed
One aspect of growing up as a young man was that we weren't taught about the importance of our seed. Without that knowledge, we give ourselves away, many times over. The dna inside has more value than we can ever imagine. Young men, don't spill the best of you, which hasn't been discovered yet....
-
Family Time: Grandpa
Today I'm just sharing what really blessed my heart over the Christmas holiday. Hope that every father or grandfather uses their time wisely when spending time with their children of all ages. For me, I dream of seeing all of our children and grandchildren at one table during a family meal. This...

Men's Encounter North w/Bett Harvey
Fabulous time with Bett Harvey, founder of Men's Encounter North, talking on the beginning of M.E.N., testimony and the current direction for 2023. A tremendous move upon the men that attend, and change that results in growing self, family and community. The word for the year is FIGHT! Register...

Men's Health: Talk it out
Please call 988 for assistance in preventing suicide. There is value in you. Found myself in conversation with a coworker sharing experiences he endured while helping a buddy of his. Situations, time and immediacy play duel, but not competing roles in the attempt of suicide. Guys, ladies, many...

Mental Health: Suicide
Please dial 988 if you are battling thoughts of suicide.

Men's Health: Inquinal Hernias pt2
Had the opportunity to share my IH journey with a few men on tonight's bible study. Fellas, don't discount your experience to just be your story alone. Other men need to to know what you experience as a path for what they will. In that, it may relieve anxiety that may be present. Time to open up.

Men's Health: Inguinal Hernias
So, earlier this week I went to my PCP to discuss what is known as an inguinal hernia. Very interesting what the procedure looks like. Right now I'm weighing the cost of not having the surgery or moving forward with it. Hernia video TEP Robotic Repair (RTAP) Inguinal drawing Statistics Cleveland...

Faith as the center of tomorrow
Faith is a beautiful way of life. Being so focused on the things of God is always a great place to be. However, often times we are so focused that we tend to forget how we are actually functioning. Have you taken time to stop and focus on where faith plays its role in everything. Romans 10:17...

It's In You!
Have you ever been at a point of going to the next level, but lacked the wisdom, didn't know how to do it, or had fear of moving forward? This is the day to "cross over". The children of Israel were about to cross over to their land of promise, but needed an ancestor, Joshua, to lead them (Joshua...
-
Fire & Smoke: Finding Purpose
Yesterday at service Anthony Walker spoke about Resurrected HOPE and not forgetting the promises of God, which are yes and amen. A thought came to me that fire and smoke can represent where we are not only in promise, but purpose. Are you smoke or fire. Either way, get up, get out and go after it.

My First Vote
Just a quick insight to my first vote on November 4, 2022 as a United States Citizen! Definitely can't wait to vote again.

Room Making
Prov 18:16 "A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men." We wonder about our gift making room for us. But keep in mind, the room is only as big as how much you have developed the gift. Wreck the silo of what is in your hand. Meaning, focus on the one, specific talent/gift...

Leadership Level
Have you ever thought about what kind of leader you are in the work place, home, or community without a title? John Maxwells 5 Levels of Leadership is my current read. And within I discover which of the five levels resonates with me. Remember to purchase your copy of I Am Restored on Amazon.com...

Men Are Necessary
Guys, I know many times you may feel undervalued, especially when society doesn't really celebrate you except one day a year. Jordan Peterson makes a very profound statement that "men are necessary". Today, please find value in knowing you do have a place. Also, check out my very first book, I Am...
-
Leading the conversation:
Recently I came across a short clip of professor Jordan Peterson being interviewed for a Dutch documentary. Within the interview a statement was made that men that follow him feel Mr. Petersen says that "it's okay to be a man". His reply, "it's not okay, it's necessary." That is where I begin...

My Prayer for you
Simply wanted to share a prayer for you.

Motivated to be a Motivation
It's great to listen to inspiring men and women, looking to empower other men and women to their best self. Today's age has revealed to us that there is more within that we can use to create and build. However, there comes a time when you have to look internally, be quickened (brought alive) to...
-
Operating in Freedom
The Place of Now & the Place of Tomorrow. Are you frustrated with the transition of moving into what you have been called to be? Today I discuss my recent frustration over the last week, which showed me that I wasn't Operating in my Freedom. Not being free means that we are bond or tied down.…

Wimoweh Day
Guys, just an encouraging word to recognize the time in front of you. As every day is busy in routine of getting up, getting ready for work, going to work (on time) and dealing with the hustle of day, time is very important. And sometimes we just need to slow down and see time for what it is, an...

Recalled to be Released
Last week I realized that for over seven years I've been hiding in a cave. From my divorce in 2014 to 2022, I've been hiding from the enemy, yet dwelling with God. I found a pillow to lay my head down for rest but had gotten too comfortable. This became relevant as I read the story of Elijah (1...

Role of Men pt2: Affirmation
Men, we are now in 2022 which is already moving by with the quickness. So in order to make this a successful year, I want you to know there is greatness in you (Les Brown). But we can't do any of this alone. Affirmation: act of saying or showing that something is true – the action or process of...

Jonah: Fasting Time
Jonah 3 Do you remember a second chance in life? Do you remember the first? After hearing the word of God a second time, Jonah makes his journey to Nineveh and proclaims Gods word. As a result, the people repent and fast. Just the same, the king casts aside his robe (authority, duties and...
-
Jonah: Getting out of Hell(Sheol)
Jonah 2 Often times when we rebel the results tend to never work out for our good. Jonah's nonchalant attitude and stubbornness leads him to become a man overboard, to settle in a dark place. Ministry, at it's heart, is not about the messenger, but about those who will receive the message. Jonahs...
-
Jonah: Man Overboard
Jonah 1:10-16 We go deeper into the character of Jonah at a time where he is needed most. Many times we realize our lives would be better staying in our silos. Not having to deal with anyone or the world. However, when God has spoken his will over us, it's time to move. Unknowingly, Jonah is the...
-
Jonah: Stop Sleeping on your Gifting
Jonah 1:4-9 It's time to arise, go and use the God-given gifting in you. His word in there for a purpose greater than we know. But in order to see it, we have to move in it. This is not the time to be selfish, but obedient. Stay committed to the process.

Committed to the Process
This past weekend has been a great highlight over my 48 years. Over a two year period of being engaged in discipleship with other men, I am now Commissioned to Minister to Men. Listen in as I talk about my experience.
-
Jonah: Running from God
Guys, how many times have you seen yourself running from a certain responsibility? From a young age there was always something we were very reluctant to do. For instance, taking out the trash, washing dishes, taking care of the yard and HOMEWORK! What were the results? Jonah 1:1-3 helps us to...
-
Vulnerability: "I Don't Know"
When a parent asks a child what's wrong and their reply is "I don't know", they are speaking honestly that they don't know. When it comes to manhood its the same, to a degree because we have been in the world long enough to know most of our emotions. And then on the other hand, we are that same...
-
Being Vulnerable!
Coming off a great event at Kingdom Ekklesia Church with Pastor Jason Johnson, Apotles Dettrick and Azeez this past weekend. So much word that we took in that allowed us all to be transparent, with the hope of helping men grow. One word that stuck with me is one that should go into the vocabulary...

Let's Talk About It: Comparison in Masculinity #2
How many times do we compare ourselves to other people? Today's world of engagement through social media gives room for anyone to compare based off the life of others. Comparison makes us compromise who we are in order to be someone else. As Les Brown says, "the greatness in you".
-
Let's Talk About It: Comparison in Masculinity
How many times have you compared to yourself to others? Too many times right? Well let today be the day it stops. For a long time I looked at and up to others, not believing that I have ability within myself to accomplish great things. Guys, believe in yourself! God gave you special gifts and...

Let's Talk About It: Toxic Masculinity
Defined: An upbringing that positions a young man/man to live and act in a way to promote manhood, but actually emasculates it. Yup, hits you right in the gut. Such a hot topic not just for today, but every day. Guys, how can we begin to change the culture of toxicity the world sees? For me, it...

Race: My First Encounter
Growing up I cannot remember actually talking about race as we do today. Times were much different. It's not that there wasn't social issues going on of racism, inequality or injustices. But living in a multi-cultural neighborhood reduced exposure to the larger issues of race at the time. My...
