From Ease to Difficulty

Boys want a life of ease. Men are willing to embrace difficulty.

For the next 10 weeks, Cale and I will be studying the life of Joseph. Through this study, we’ll explore how Joseph navigated the many challenges in his life and how he consistently responded in ways that glorified God.

  • Temporary to Eternal: Week Seven – Hell and Eternity

    Boys mock. Men weep. God will judge evil. This week, Cale and I talked about one of the most serious and sobering topics of all: hell and eternal judgment.

Cale and I tackled one of the most important and often confusing parts of growing into manhood: sexuality. We talked about how sex isn’t something dirty or shameful but a powerful gift designed by God…

  • Temporary to Eternal: Week Two – Jesus and Eternity
