The Bible reveals that an authentic relationship with God is a lifestyle - a way to be and believe that produces a way to behave daily. As opposed to what you say? A compartmentalized event or a disconnected set of singular experiences? Yet that is how many men experience God. Before a meal. On a Sunday. When loss or pain suggests we pray. At a men's group.

"I got this." These are words of confidence uttered when we feel command over a situation or challenge. When it comes to the daily management of our lives and walk with God those words don't make sense to Jesus. He said, "I am the Vine and you are the branch. Apart from me you can do nothing."...
