The mature masculine: 1. Does parental intimacy well. 2. Creates life. Doesn’t destroy it. 3. Knows his Source, relationally. 4. Exposes darkness, inside and out. Of late, my heart has been stirred around the need in our nation for men to continually commit to a life...

I preached a message from Matthew 26 on Jesus request to His disciples in the Garden of Gesthemane. I feel it’s a timely word for the church on friendship. This message has since been requested to be an article in the next QB Magazine. The first half is a...
