Identity is under attack, and the stakes have never been higher. Ever felt like you weren’t enough or feared your past defines you? Here’s hope! Join me today on Brave Men as we confront the crucial themes shaping the lives of Christian men today. From the relentless attack on the family to the disruption of the family unit by fatherlessness to the devil's strategic distortion of our sense of self, we at war, and identity is one of our greatest weapons.

When a demon possessed man was healed by Jesus it reminds us that no one is too far gone for Jesus' love and redemption – that not one man is beyond the reach of grace. I encourage you to reflect on your own personal testimony as a powerful story for spreading hope and transformation, highlighting the transformative power of Jesus' grace for all, regardless of their past.

By understanding that we carry the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, we can find enduring hope and strength in our faith. Join us as we discuss practical insights to empower Christian men to stand firm in their purpose and lead their families and communities with unwavering faith and love.
