We trace Matthew 2 to show why the Magi found Jesus and Herod missed Him, then share simple ways to keep Christ at the center of a noisy Christmas. Along the way we use Home Alone as a playful parable to train our eyes for gospel echoes in ordinary life. • the Magi’s seeking hearts versus Herod’s self-focus • Scripture as the surest place to find Jesus • gold, frankincense and myrrh as foreshadowing • practical habits: pray, read, gather, aim your family • cultural echoes that point to the g...
We share how gratitude disarms entitlement at Christmas, using Luke 17’s ten lepers to show why returning to say thanks brings deeper wellness. A simple practice—one gratitude item for every year of your life—becomes a tool to reset your heart when envy and hurry rise. • the Word of God as our primary weapon • Christmas series focus on winning with gratitude • the contrast between gratitude and entitlement • Luke 17 and the one leper who returned • how screens fuel a ...
We press into a Christmas tip that actually changes hearts: forgive because Christ forgave us. We read Matthew 18, sort out the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and walk through a practical debt-ledger exercise to cancel what we can never collect. • the sword of the Spirit as our weapon • Christmas as Jesus’ rescue mission • forgiveness as a command, not a feeling • Matthew 18 and the mercy of the king • forgiveness versus reconciliation explained • the debt-ledger exercise...
We challenge the December rush with a simple shift: schedule your priorities instead of prioritizing a crowded calendar. With Galatians 1 and Ephesians 5 as anchors, we choose to please God over people, find rest in Jesus, and aim for heaven’s applause. • defining winning at Christmas as giving God glory • refusing busyness by scheduling priorities first • putting spouse and children before extended family expectations • seeking God’s approval rather than human approval • making wise use of ...
We unpack how to “win at Christmas” by rejecting consumerism, embracing contentment, and aligning money with faith. Drawing from 1 Timothy 6, we share ten practical ways to spend wisely, give generously, and enjoy what God provides without regret. • the Sword of the Spirit as our core weapon • Christmas as a season of spiritual traps and pressure • godliness with contentment as great gain • ten practical ways to spend wisely • teaching children contentment not consumerism • money as a snare ...
We trace how Holy Name’s “Fall on Your Knees” pairs heavy sound with humble worship and map each lyric moment to Scripture for clarity and conviction. We close with a clear call to bow to Jesus as Lord and invite men to spread the word. • expanding worship beyond typical CCM • Proverbs 3 and trusting God in repetition • Psalm 23 imagery in valleys and quiet waters • Revelation 5 and the Lamb’s worthiness • Philippians 2 and every knee bowing • why heavy music can serve true worship • invitat...
We challenge narrow ideas of worship by tracing how a live performance of Needtobreathe’s “Multiplied” led to real surrender and joy. Scripture frames the lyrics, emotion finds its place, and we invite men to offer their whole selves in praise. • redefining worship beyond contemporary norms • a personal journey from cultural religion to faith • the live “Multiplied” moment and lifted hands • God’s hesed in Exodus 34 and true mercy • Romans 12 and surrender as living sacrifice • Hebrews 13 an...
We challenge narrow views of worship by unpacking verse three of the OC Supertones’ What It Comes To and tracing each line to Scripture. From the war with the flesh to the triumph of the resurrection, we show how unexpected genres can carry deep, clear theology. • expanding what counts as worship music • why singing to God is not optional • the inner war between flesh and Spirit • trials as refining fire in sanctification • living water and the call to ministry • substitution and propitiatio...
We explore how “Graves” by KB and Brandon Lake expands the boundaries of worship while staying anchored in Scripture. From Ezekiel’s dry bones to Paul’s letters, we trace the thread of regeneration and why men need songs that preach resurrection into daily life. • expanding worship beyond a single genre • brief history of rap’s place in Christian music • breakdown of “Graves” structure and lyrics • Ezekiel 37 and the image of dry bones • Ephesians 2 and Colossians 2 on new life • Jesus and t...
We widen the lens on worship by looking past radio formulas to find biblical truth in Red Clay Strays’ “On My Knees.” We tie kneeling, anxiety, and gratitude to Psalm 95, Philippians 4, and Ephesians 2, and show how grace, not works, fuels true praise. • redefining worship beyond contemporary Christian music • the posture of kneeling as reverence and humility • honest burdens of bills, anxiety, and temptation • casting cares on God and praying with thanksgiving • salvation by grace alone, no...
We challenge men to become friends who fight for each other with Scripture and prayer, not just sentiment. Five traits shape that calling: a life worth imitating, wisdom, loving confrontation, relentless intercession, and the resolve to carry a brother to Jesus. • living a life others can imitate in Christ • giving grounded wisdom that listens first • removing your log before addressing a speck • confronting sin with love and clarity • carrying friends to Jesus through obstacles • praying as...
We call men to move beyond feelings and into decisive action that carries brothers into the presence of Jesus. Drawing from Mark 2, we show how borrowed faith, practical service, and steady courage transform crisis care into real healing. • the Word as the sword that equips us • what true brothers need from us • the Mark 2 model of carrying the mat • empathy versus sympathy and action • borrowed faith when hope runs thin • specific ways to help without being asked • wise accountability witho...
We call men to real accountability that rescues, not shallow comfort that enables harm. Using Scripture, we show how to confront with courage and love so brothers grow strong together. • the sword of the Spirit as our primary weapon • live a life worth following and seek wisdom • iron sharpens iron as a gritty model for growth • judge without hypocrisy by removing your own log • confront privately and directly for restoration • Paul confronting Peter as a gospel...
We explore why wisdom is the greatest gift friends can offer, drawing from Proverbs to show how lived obedience shapes faith, choices, and character. We challenge each other to align daily life with God’s Word so our friends grow wiser by walking beside us. • the call to be friends who point others to Jesus • wisdom defined as living in God’s world, God’s way • Proverbs traits of wisdom across speech, diligence, honesty • the impact of counsel, correction and teachability • choosing steady g...
We turn friendship into a calling, asking if our lives are worth imitating and how to become the kind of brother others can safely follow. Using the Shema—heart, soul, mind, and strength—we map practical steps that make imitation doable, durable, and contagious. • shifting focus from needing friends to being a godly friend • one-verse challenge: imitate me as I imitate Christ • discipleship as a lived pattern more than lectures • heart: relationships marked by truth and repentance • soul: da...
We trace a path from metal to pop to show why worship is bigger than genre and how God uses simple lyrics to carry deep truth. Forrest Frank’s “Your Ways Better” becomes a doorway to Psalm 38, Deuteronomy 31:6, and a clear call to repent and choose the better way. • widening the definition of worship music • quick recap of the week’s song choices • family-friendly pop that honors God • Psalm 38 and the weight of sin • God’s promise to never forsake • chorus themes tied to Scripture • the fai...
We challenge cultural Christianity and open up what counts as worship, using Drew Parker’s “Blame Jesus” to trace the Prodigal Son’s return and the shocking mercy of God. Grace replaces checklists, identity shifts from self-made to redeemed, and the gospel takes center stage. • the sword of the Spirit as our core weapon • expanding worship beyond contemporary styles • critique of “country music theology” and box-check faith • the reality of sin debt and need for propitiation • Drew Parker’s ...
We explore how worship stretches beyond a narrow genre and why a rock anthem can fuel a faithful life. Skillet’s “Awake and Alive” becomes a lens for spiritual warfare, Scripture as weapon, and living new in Christ with courage. • widening what worship music includes • why Skillet’s bold faith and humility matter • spiritual warfare as a normal Christian reality • Ephesians 6 and the sword of the Spirit • Matthew 4 and how Jesus answers temptation • chorus themes of awakening and new life • ...
We trace a bluegrass worship song that quotes Revelation and 1 Corinthians to show a bigger view of Jesus and a wider view of worship. Scripture drives the melody as we follow the Lion and the Lamb from throne room to empty tomb, and call men to steadfast faith. • reframing worship beyond narrow genre habits • bluegrass as a vessel for scripture-rich praise • Revelation imagery of the returning King • the scroll, the scar, and the Lamb who conquers • chorus as a compact gospel: death defeate...
We widen the frame on worship and show how a metal track can carry deep biblical truth. Convictions’ “Stigmata” becomes a pathway through the Psalms, Isaiah 53, John 20, and the Lord’s Prayer, proving worship is bigger than CCM and rooted in the scars of Christ. • redefining worship beyond contemporary christian music • scripture mapped through “stigmata” by convictions • lament and endurance as biblical worship themes • isaiah 53 and john 20 as anchors for the chorus • peter’s martyrdom and...
