When I ask non-Christians to describe Christians in one word, near the top of the list is the word hypocrite. It only takes a short amount of time in this world to realize how rampant the perception is of Christians being hypocrites in their words and their actions. With, perhaps, the exception of politicians, no other group comes close to the charges of hypocrisy as Christians do in Western culture.

In this episode, I explore this important topic, and what we can do, individually, about it.

This is a fun one today. Something that some men are aware of in their subconscious, but almost never think about, is the truly incredible and powerful impact their wives have on them.

You see, with her by your side, with her in your life, everything is possible. With her in your life, you can (and will) go out and conquer the world, you will build and you will provide her and your family amazing things. With her in your life, you will walk over burning shards of glass and broken nails to protect her.

But on the other hand however, without her by your side, without her in your corner, without her belief in you, feels like there is nothing worth doing. If she is not there, supporting, encouraging, and going through life with you, why bother? Now this might be a new idea, so let me expand on this some.

Men do want to build, they want to create, they want to provide. But, who exactly are they building, creating, and providing for? As men, as husbands, If we’re being totally honest, we know that it isn't really for ourselves all that often.

We’re doing all that for her, our families, and the future we’re going to enjoy together.

Is Memorial Day really about mattress sales, a day off work, and BBQ? Or, is there something more that we should remember?

Make sure that you stop and think about what this day is truly about. Young men and women, for generations, were asked to be willing to give up their lives so that we can live free. And for generations, young men and women have answered that call.

In the wars and military actions that have been fought over those generations, the sacrifices that too many of those men and those women have paid can never be fully comprehended by us and never can be repaid by us. We may intellectually understand, but we can never fully do so.

We can never fully understand what they have sacrificed, because of their dedication and love for this nation, and because of their love for the freedoms we often take for granted daily. There is no option for us to understand and repay that sacrifice.

A verse that comes to mind, when thinking of our soldiers and Memorial Day is John 15:12-14,

“This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.”

In today’s show, I’m going to share some thoughts about unity in marriage. It’s something that is generally agreed upon as a good idea but can be difficult to clearly articulate or put into action. And sometimes a mistaken idea of what this unity looks like can lead a couple down a dangerous path.

A strong marriage, a healthy marriage, has unity at the center. And a strong marriage has both husband and wife continuing their separate identities and purposes. These two statements might seem like they are at odds with one another, however there is an important distinction that needs to be made...

For far too long some people have tried to use the Bible to justify their hate, their prejudice, and their racism. And for some people, the idea has stuck that somehow the Bible condones racism and prejudice. 

Racism is one of those human issues that has been with us for thousands of years and is an issue that the Bible does speak to. It is within those pages where we will find wisdom and insight into the healing that we all need.

In the podcast today, I want to share just a handful of what the Bible has to say on this critical issue that crosses our newsfeed all too often…

You know it’s true, because you've heard it your whole life:

·         Real men suck it up.

·         Real men just walk it off.

·         Real men rub some dirt on it.

·         Real men don't know it when they are bleeding.

·         Real men are stone statues moved by no one, by no event, and by no person.

And, without question, real men don't get depression.

Right? After all, if that is what we've heard our whole lives it must be true…

First, I have to start this by noting that, as of today when this episode goes live, there has not yet been an official ruling related to Abortion or Roe versus Wade by the Supreme Court, only a leaked draft of the ruling. That leak draft seems to have been confirmed, but right now, there is no official decision.

OK, so on my social media feed, I shared a simple sentiment, which was that All human life is precious, and all human life is sacred. From the youngest to the oldest. All human life is sacred.

In this episode I expand on that post and share my thoughts on whether or not every human life is sacred. It’s not an easy topic to work through, but an important one to discuss. Hope this gives you some things to consider as this conversation takes up the news cycle.

Why does marriage matter these days? And what makes a marriage strong?

 When guys tell me why they are not getting married, they will often say, “it’s just a piece of paper.” Or they will tell me that it is just a formality. Or they will come up with something similar. But, marriage is so much more than that; it’s a sanctified relationship.

To start with, we need to recognize that it is God who came up with the idea of marriage, and all that God has created is good. This means marriage is His idea and therefore it’s a good idea. That’s one of the starting points as we go through this idea. Marriage is not just a piece of paper, it’s not a formality, it’s an amazing gift God has given us.

And what do we need to make this gift of marriage work? Is it enough to have two people who stand before God and in front of their friends and family and proclaim their love for each other? Is love really all you need? While our culture might say yes, history and experience will say no. Love is a great foundation, it’s a great cornerstone, but it isn’t enough, love is not all you need.

If love isn’t all you need, then the obvious question is what do you need? What is needed to make a marriage strong? Thankfully, we have the answer to this question. It’s found in scripture. There are times we would rather just go through the latest and greatest how-to marriage book, but the truth is that in the scripture, in the gospel, in what Jesus taught we find what’s needed to make marriage strong.

We live in a culture that is becoming more and more hostile towards Christians and Christianity. We are living in a culture that seems to be more and more opposed to what Jesus taught. It only takes speaking out, sharing the love of Jesus, and sharing what he taught, to have that become crystal clear.

I know far too many people who share with me, in private messages, that they want to speak up more, they want to share the good news more, but they are worried about losing their jobs, having people in their towns stop speaking with them, and about being cancelled online.

The reality is that we are living in a culture that seems directly opposed to the truth of Jesus. In many instances, simply mentioning his name today will often bring out a negative, vile, nasty, and outright evil response. Through my Significant Man page on Facebook, I’ve received my share of those messages.

The opposition is very real. But, the opposition is not new. Paul ran into this opposition plenty when he was out sharing the good news of Jesus. We read some about this in the book of Acts. In Chapter 17 there is a section about Paul teaching in Thessalonica, when troublemakers were gathered to form a mob and start a riot, looking to drag Paul (and Silas who was with him) out into the crowd.

Later in Acts, Paul and Silas are preaching in Berea, where they are met with opposition again, and it was so serious they had to flee for their own safety. Then in Acts is yet another example, this time in Ephesus, of the crowd being filled with anger against Paul. The opposition is not new. A hostile culture is not new. From the earliest moments that Jesus began teaching, there was opposition. From the earliest moments that his disciples began teaching, there was opposition.

But knowing that there is this hostility, knowing that there is this opposition is just one part of the equation. The Bible teaches us that we are going to have trouble, that we are going to have challenges, struggles, and opposition, so we know this. And even though it can feel like it, we know it’s not new.

So what do we do with this knowledge? It’s one thing to know that anger is coming, to know that conflict is coming, but something has to happen with that insight. So what is that “something”?

When Jesus died on the cross, people were filled with confusion, fear, and despair. His disciples were afraid for their own lives, and they went into hiding. Jesus had told them he would die, but they did not believe him. After all, he was their king, the one who would change everything, and now he was dead. So now what were they to do?

For three years, they had walked by his side, following him, witnessing miracles, seeing countless lives changed, seeing things they had difficulty even understanding. But now? He was gone. They were without purpose and without hope.

But, what happened next?
