It seems that we live in a never-ending political cycle. Campaigning starts earlier and earlier every election cycle.

Today we talk about how to be engaged politically without taking politics on as your identity, how to prioritize politics in with the rest of your life, and where you might look to enact real change.

There are often situations in life where it is easy to blame your actions on your somebody else.

But ultimately, you only ever have yourself to answer to for your actions.

Regardless of the circumstance, it is important to always remain in control of yourself.

Any action you take is a reflection on you, nobody else.

Today we talk about a seemingly "normal" use of school time.

Is this education or hype session?

Only way for you to know what is going on is to be more involved and more proactive.

Race is a touchy subject. One that is not welcomed in polite conversation.

But we are here to have real conversations. Because race seems to play such a huge role in the media narrative that drives thought, we felt it our obligation to have this conversation.

The overall message is that as men of conviction, you have to hold strong against the race narrative being promoted. Stop the guilt trips and limiting beliefs and fear of racial inequality.

At the end of the day, whether your skin is black, white, brown, any other variation, the only way to get what you want in this life is by putting in the work.

You are what you eat. This applies to more than the food you put on your plate.

What about the shows you watch, the news you follow, the infinite scrolling on social media.

Every one of these things has an impact on you and is a decision you are making on where you utilize your time.

Men need to be intentional and committed to putting in the content that will provide the desired results.

Those results are for you to figure out. But make sure you do figure out what you want from life.

To live your life to its full potential, you have to know how you got here and what you are supposed to be doing here.

You were designed and created with purpose.

You owe it to yourself and your creator to pursue that purpose. You have been given skills and interests and passions. Use those in pursuit of your purpose.

Faith in God requires humility. Are you ready to humble yourself before God and step into who you are meant to be?

The Men of Conviction discuss the modern day attack on masculinity and its driving purpose.

It seems that today's corporate focused society wants you to check your personality at the door and fall in line. Keep your head down and don't cause any trouble.

Men need to realize that playing the part may serve them well while climbing the corporate ladder, but our families and communities need men to stand up for what they truly believe in.

The reality though is that this goes far beyond masculinity. Society wants you quiet about your religion, your politics, your beliefs and convictions. 

You may not agree with everything we have to say and that's ok. But it's not ok to sit back and let life happen to you.

Ultra MAGA Republicans is catchy, but what does it mean?

Just in time for the midterms, hear our thoughts on the current political agenda to give everyone a label.

The more labels handed out, the more victim groups created. Perfect opportunity to set yourself up as the hero when you created the victim.

Men need to stand up and push back against the constant labeling and fear mongering that happens in today's political environment.

Listen to hear how Alex took a time of fear and used that as a catalyst for change. And how a recent triathlon experience was a reminder of always striving to keep actions in line with words and words in line with thoughts. 

Whatever you want in life, you have to run after it. Stop running from the fears of failure or regret. Start running towards the goals of  purpose and fulfillment.

When you look in the mirror, you have to ask yourself two questions:

1. Who do I want to be?

2. Am I headed in the right direction?

You can spend your time on this earth simply existing, or you can take each day that you are blessed with as an opportunity to get better. Men are meant to seek growth and improvement.

Call it personal growth or self development or whatever you want, but ultimately it comes down to getting better each and every day.

Pursue each day with the intention of becoming a better man, a better husband, a better father.
