Hey Dads: Emulate the Traits of God, The Father

I’m a huge fan of Kent Evans, the founder of Manhood Journey, who recently wrote this great post about fatherhood that I want to share with you. I met Kent on my last business trip pre-COVID time and really admire his enthusiasm for helping men –and especially fathers, become better.  Kent’s recent post makes 4 points that also apply to us dads: God the Father is slow to anger God fulfills His promise God answers the call God leads His people Simply put, good fathers follow God, the Father and apply these traits to their parenting. Do you? That said, you should read the entire post by clicking on the photo below. I admire Kent so much that I also asked him to write the Foreword for my recent book, Get Out of Your Man Cave: The Crisis of Male Friendship. Get your copy on Amazon at the links below.

MANual Lessons: Paul’s Letters to the Corinthians

Corinth’s location made east-west trade common since ships traveled from the Adriatic Sea to the Aegean Sea to save hundreds of miles of dangerous sea travel. During ancient times, crossing the isthmus involved putting the ships on rollers and transporting them across the four-mile stretch that connected the two

The Friend Who Never Left

Recently, I received two magazines unexpectedly in the mail at my home. The first was Wine Enthusiast. Strange, I thought, since I’m not a fine wine drinker. The other was Esquire. OK, I am a man, so that one makes sense. I had not subscribed to either but do love the feel of ink on paper as a former “print guy” whose career was in printing and publishing. I quickly realized, I was on a mail list rented by the publisher of these magazines. Days later, I also received an email from the publisher with some archived articles to entice me to subscribe. Due to a huge decline of advertising revenue the last several years, many publishers are trying regain paid subscriptions just to survive.  But I digress. My real point is this: Men need their best friends for the tough times.  The email linked to an Esquire article that’s very relevant
