The Chocolate Knox ( David Shannon) co-host of CrossPolitic discussing how men can build a Christian Culture at home.

Never apologize for being a Strong Man.

A very special episode with a amazing guest.

As Christian men our goal is to grow into maturity. We are not to be childish, temper tantrum throwing, penis fondling, Mama's boys. We are men. We are husbands and fathers that need to put to death The Man-child mentality.

In a battle it is important not to get Data Overload. If you have to many options you will essentially have none. It is better to have a few tactics and execute them flawlessly. Than to have 1,000 different strategies and do them all poorly. In this war we have to keep it super simple.

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."

Bruce Lee

As men we fight against a counterfeit reality. A reality of false pleasures, false relationships, false acceptance and false manhood. We must learn to Move, Attack and Defend.

The call to us as men is to fight. With glad submission to the King of Kings; we make war against the devil, flesh and the world. However like every soldier we must have basic training.

In a world of counterfeits. We as men have to be careful not to get sucked in the vortex of falsehoods. No matter how much it looks like the real thing; we must remember it is chocolate covered dog crap. Candy coated lies offered to us so that we will embrace them. We must as Christian men follow Jesus. That means embracing truth; no matter what our sweet tooth tells us.

"Everyone wants to be a Christian until it becomes Biblical" unknown

For many men it is easy to say, "Jesus is Lord" with their lips. However their actions do not match up with their confession. They want headship but do not want to lead. They want sex without the task of pleasing their wife. They want obedient children as they themselves disobey God. They say Lord, Lord but do not do what Jesus tells them to do.

Jesus is Lord

Jesus is Lord is not just a cute statement to put on a bumper sticker or something that you find on a t-shirt at the local Wally world. This statement holds implications and weight that will change your worldview if you let it. This is a political statement. This is a cultural statement. The fact that Jesus is Lord is what drives everything we do as Christians.
