Our culture is determined to portray masculinity and men as toxic and a hindrance to those trying to live authentically. The Christian, heterosexual male is depicted as a force for evil unless he actively promotes a worldview that is not in keeping with the Word of God. Today we talk about how to live above the fray, be authentic in our devotion, and live lives that honor God by leading those in our care the same way he leads us. Jared also talks about the four essential Ups that every man needs to know and live by. Don't know what they are? Then it's time to Man UP!

Most of us go through seasons where we struggle to connect with God in prayer. These are not just difficult seasons; they are dangerous times for the man of God. It is only through prayer that we connect to the power of God to help us win our spiritual battles and deal with the spiritual realities behind our fight of faith. Today Jared is joined by Kris Emerson as they talk about talking to God authentically and honestly. Are You Ready? Man Up!

Paul calls them three gifts of God. In fact, they were the greatest gifts. But in our present distress, they seem in short supply.

Today we'll talk about how to live in them and how to hold on to our hope when it seems that hope is in short supply. Are You Ready? Man Up!
