Every man appreciates the difference between old and new. Whether it's a car, a phone, a computer, or a LIFE, when you reflect on the difference between what you had then and what's in your life now it produces (or should produce) gratitude. The benefits of the "new" make the old pale in comparis...

Most men have a gnawing sense that they are more than what they have become. More painfully, most men also realize that they can't become who they need to be, who their families and kids need them to be, and who their world needs them to be by remaining who they are! That involves CHANGE. In Part...

Personal change is more complex and difficult than mouthing words. Many a man has eaten his words promising a different version of himself to others needing new character and conduct from him. Perhaps this is you. When it comes to arresting and jailing our destructive tendencies that harm our rel...

If the presence and availability of LIFE in the Kingdom of God is real, then IT CHANGES EVERYTHING. Specfically, it produces spiritual, emotional, and personal freedom from the power of our dark side.

When a man is a slave to any impulse he feels small, immature, powerless, and ashamed. So often men know that a solution exists but don't know what the process is, how it starts or what breaking free involves. In Part Six, Pastor Kenny Luck provides the KEY to a morally strong, emotionally secure...

The surest sign a man is passing into a new realm of personal and spiritual growth can be seen in how he handles the trials and tests, the delays and difficulties, and the strains and stresses of life.

A new concern for others. A new willingness to sacrifice my agenda for higher purposes. A new depth and ability to love. A new belief and trust in confusing times.. A new dependence on Christ versus self. A NEW NORMAL! In Part VIII Pastor Kenny Luck challenges the notion of staying the SAME and p...

To be God's man is to be concerned about the eternal welfare of those around you. Your radar is to always be "ON" and your heart and mouth ready to release the Good News of God's love for another person to consider. In fact, there is a responsibility to care about where people go when they die an...

The BIGGEST OBSTACLE all men need to overcome in order to win a strong relationship with God is pride. The message pride sends to God is that YOU KNOW BETTER than He does. Most men don't feel they are that blatant in their feelings toward God but their actions tell a different story. Subtly and p...

Pride messages to us that our source of authority needs to be ourselves. It says: "just listen to number one." This is problemmatic for men on many levels. First with God, second with people, and then with ALL SOURCES OF AUTHORITY placed in our lives by God. The elimination of pride changes our r...

LISTEN UP husbands and would-be husbands. The ACID TEST of love is when the flaws, shortcomings, and limitations of others interrupt our expectations of how things should go. A lot of men say to themselves "I didn't sign up for this" and then proceeed to bail out of relationships. God's man can't...

The immature life is one devoted to SELF. The new normal rooted in a relationship with God allows a man to transcend these "small man" syndromes OVER to the powerful and purposeful life of loving God and loving people. It's the life every man has always wanted using masculine strength and wiring ...

WHEN A MAN DOES NOT DO RELATIONSHIPS RIGHT, he will not do life right. Every man knows this but not every man acts on what he knows! God's man touched by God's love learns how to love, appreciate, value, affirm, accept, and support people. Time and distance don't affect this. Color of skin and la...
