The God we serve has a high calling on our life. As men, we are called to work hard, to provide, to protect and to lead. As image bearers of God, our calling and our identity often intersect. One area where this is evident is in the command to take dominion and pursue excellence in all we do. Perfection and …
The Most Important Thing About Us
It’s a great thing when a man would ask of God, “teach me Your ways”… We see David ask this of the Lord in Psalm 27:11. A desire to be taught by the Lord is admirable & righteous, but, why would any man ask to be taught the ways of God if he doesn’t know the person God. If you …
Fill Your House
As I spent time reading God’s Word this week, I found myself resting on two powerful verses in Matthew 10. Matthew 10:32-33 reads “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

Battles all around including conflict on the home front with a daughter. Just last night, we received a call that Marilyn’s mother fell and found herself concussed. Hardship and chaos are always lingering and Satan is the …

A Firm Foundation – Setting the Culture of Red Truck Men

Flip through any history book or business journal and all will attest that organizational or individual success is a hard fought process requiring a tremendous amount of sweat, tears, energy and equity. Fame, success and glory often come with struggle, toil, and failure. Steve Jobs once …
