We widen the lens on worship by looking past radio formulas to find biblical truth in Red Clay Strays’ “On My Knees.” We tie kneeling, anxiety, and gratitude to Psalm 95, Philippians 4, and Ephesians 2, and show how grace, not works, fuels true praise.

• redefining worship beyond contemporary Christian music
• the posture of kneeling as reverence and humility
• honest burdens of bills, anxiety, and temptation
• casting cares on God and praying with thanksgiving
• salvation by grace alone, not works

We challenge men to become friends who fight for each other with Scripture and prayer, not just sentiment. Five traits shape that calling: a life worth imitating, wisdom, loving confrontation, relentless intercession, and the resolve to carry a brother to Jesus.

• living a life others can imitate in Christ
• giving grounded wisdom that listens first
• removing your log before addressing a speck
• confronting sin with love and clarity
• carrying friends to Jesus through obstacles
• praying as warfare with specificity and persistence
• standing firm in the armor of God together
