One of the things I started a few years back and recently picked back up is writing out the book of Proverbs by hand. Because everything is digitally available, I don’t necessarily need to write out the book of Proverbs, but it’s so incredibly beneficial! It forces me to slow down enough and digest the timeless…

Man Code entries are designed for parents or adults seeking to mold young boys into strong Christian men. Previous entries can be found here. Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Romans 13:1 Son, I’ve got some bad news for…

For the Apostle Paul, he knew that every natural battle we face has a spiritual source behind it because he knew what his Scriptures (our Old Testament) taught about the reality of spiritual warfare. Satan was an angel created by God (Job 1:3) who is described as a cherub and the highest of all created…

Man Code entries are designed for parents or adults seeking to mold young boys into strong Christian men. Previous entries can be found here. “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12 Chances are son, you like video…

Use these Man Code entries as an opportunity to discuss deeper spiritual issues with your son! (Previous Man Code entries can be found here.) “The fear…

Take a moment and answer the following questions honestly. If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, that’s an indication of spiritual warfare in your life. If you answer “yes” to multiple questions, well then, we’ve got some work to do. Do you feel defeated even though you’re a Christian and you know you’re…

This is the first of (what hopefully will be) many Man Code entries to my sons. My oldest son, Zeke, recently committed his life to Jesus and my continued goal is to shape him (and my other two boys) into godly young men. If you have sons that you are raising and discipling, please use (read and…

The battle for truth continues to be on the frontlines of our society today, a battle we engage in daily (whether we realize it or not). Mocking the blatant partisanship of political talk shows, where both sides relentlessly spin their own version of truth, cable television host Stephen Colbert coined the term “truthiness,” which became…
