Episode Description.

We’ve been born into a world at war, but we aren’t talking about politics or nations or world conflict. We’re talking about the spiritual battles going on all around us. Men have been created and equipped to engage in the battle, but too often they don’t recognize the fight or the spiritual authority that has been given to them by a victory already won. And when they don’t engage, families suffer. In this episode we’re talking about the battlefield men find themselves upon. We‘ll discuss why men need to know and understand their role in God’s design for families to flourish. And we’ll visit about three things that are crucial to a man’s heart: having a battle to fight, having an adventure to live, and having a beauty to rescue.

    Struggling Together in Prayer

    I was in the restroom touching up my makeup before speaking to several hundred women. When I looked in the mirror, thoughts began swirling in my mind. What am I doing here? What do I possibly have to say to these women that could make any difference in their lives? I am not capable of walking to that podium tonight. Read more...
