The cultural distractions of modern society have pulled men out of understanding how God designed man. The collective men of today's global society have forgotten what man is, and also what man is not. Man is not violent. Man is not one who abuses his wife and children. Man is not a pleasure-seeker. Man does not define himself in terms of his sexual conquests. A man is one who accepts responsibility. A man is courageous, especially in the face of danger. A man is faithful. A man is a man of integrity. A man is loving.

This presentation puts man’s position of being lost back on track to being found. It takes men out of dark shadows by casting the light of God’s purpose of man upon them. Success is a choice. It’s a choice to make a sacrifice to change what is wrong and turn it into right. The sacrifice is letting go of past behaviors and to not miss them while embracing new behaviors designed for success. It’s a choice.

A methodology to create success comes from systematically developing the models of excellence to achieve and awareness of dangers that attack the core of success. To embrace the methodology requires embracing the model and discerning the dangers. These two skills together give the ammunition that leads only to success while blocking anything from achieving that goal. The men of today must have the character and integrity that need not be boasted. People only need to observe and realize respect is earned.

Since 2011, David K. Ewen, M.Ed. has fully embraced and enjoyed volunteering in ministry at the Resurrection Center in Springfield, Massachusetts in a variety of capacities. Since January of 2019, under the ordained leadership of Senior Pastor Jose E. Martinez and Apostle Enrique Narvaez, Minister Dave has worked with men at the Resurrection Center to help them reach the potential that God is divinely orchestrating. Ordained in October 2021, Minister Dave have put faith in God and the anointed leadership that God has put before him. Minister Dave has the understanding from God that there is a purpose for all men including his own accountability for the stewardship of the Bravehearted Men’s Ministry at the Resurrection Center.

The foundation of this presentation comes from the Bravehearted Men’s ministry of the Resurrection Center putting focus on a man’s character and integrity. Tools shared are in the form of motivation, organization, discipline, ethics, lifelong learning, and the strength to not give up. The protective discernment level is improved by understanding the worldly distractions of deception, manipulation, and selfishness.

The appreciation any ordained minister would have for the Glory God that has been bestowed on him would also be for the ordained leadership of anointed stewards put before him. It is important to give important mention of the loving spiritual guidance from the following:

• Senior Pastor Jose E. Martinez
• Pastor Melly Martinez
• Apostle Enrique Narvaez
• Apostle Lourdes Narvaez

The journey of life is made in the way God wanted it to be with my wife, Maria, at my side. She has helped encourage and motivate me into the man I am today. Without her, I would not be what God had ordained me to be. I publicly share the love from my hear to her.

Praise Jesus for what He did. Glory to God. We exalt his holy name. Hallelujah. Amen.
