A manly man is a godly man, and the marks of a godly man are the focus of the coming week. A godly man is one who “throws off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles” (Hebrews 12:1). What do you need to throw off? impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

Whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, we will always work better in community. You may be awesome, but God has gifted other awesome men to come alongside you and make what you do even greater. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

Men often love a good reason. Rationality is often seen as a core character trait of masculinity. Away with emotions! In with reason and logic. Give us our “because”! Because. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

Taking the first step isn’t easy for a man. It requires humility. It means laying down our pride, listening before speaking, and being willing to forgive. It also means recognizing that reconciliation isn’t always within our control. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

A disciplined and sound mind can acknowledge and accept the reality of our feelings, while responding in a way that aligns with what’s most important to us. It’s accepting of our internal experiences while remaining committed to our greatest values. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

This week, we will turn to Scripture to examine ancient advice for our modern times. The good news is that when men lack wisdom, even in the age of information, God offers to give wisdom generously (James 1:5). impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

This week, we will explore God’s design for sexuality. Many are taught that they are visual and sexual creatures, and have a deep need for physical affection; if God created these traits in men, it’s important to learn why. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

This week, we’ll dive into the ever-popular and divisive topic of spiritual gifts. Some men know the joy of discovering and deploying their gifts in service to God. Some have been burned by those who’ve been “gifted.” impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

Men are builders. We want what we create to last. Sometimes, underneath that drive, is a fear: What if nothing I do matters? What if everything I give myself to amounts to an anthill at the foot of Everest? impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

Biblical financial freedom means knowing that, even if your job is downsized or your investments tank, they were never really yours to begin with & were never worthy of your devotion. Many men spend their lives chasing more believing it will bring peace. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

As we start this week, think about your garage or tool area. Think about what you have in there and the purpose, cost, and usefulness of each item. What does Jesus want to say to you about your purpose, cost, and usefulness? impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

One of the most difficult aspects of being a man is how we are perceived by others, or at least how we want to be perceived by others. We go to great lengths to manage our public appearance to foster positive images of ourselves. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

Over the next week, we will look at different men in Scripture and see how they handled their doubts. Our hope and prayer is that each of us will connect with them and know that our doubts are normal and don’t have to define us. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

Scripture calls men to seek out truth, test everything carefully in our search for it, and find it, even though it costs us everything. This week, we will explore what it means to do just that. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

This week, we will look at how a man can strengthen the next generation. A young person doesn’t need perfection to look up to; they need proof. They need to see someone who has walked through hardship, wrestled with doubt, failed, and continued after God. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

This week, we will dive into the story of Job. We may never be men who literally suffer as much as Job did, but we can learn much from the God-breathed story of his unjust suffering, and find God’s wisdom and strength for how we grapple with our own. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

One of the heaviest burdens for men is the weight of expectations. From the small to the great, expectations add weight to the load that presses men down, forcing us to plod through our days. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

If you want to make disciples, the place to start is by becoming a disciple yourself. It’s a lifelong adventure. Not only will it change your life, but it will lay a foundation for discipling other men, too. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

The theme of our week is becoming righteous men. Does that sound attractive to you? Do you want righteousness as much as you want a vacation, early retirement, sex, or for your children/grandchildren to succeed? impactus.org/daily-devotiona…

Many men carry inner pain in their lives, much of it from when they were young. This week, we will look at several types of pain that men carry and how Jesus speaks into them and brings healing. impactus.org/daily-devotiona…
