Trials don’t wait for a convenient time. One week you’re serving thousands at a men’s conference with a full heart, and the next you’re in a hospital bed with a PICC line, two surgeries, and a choice to make: fear or faith. We walk through that sharp turn with James 1:2–3 as our compass, not as a slogan but as a lived reality. Consider it joy, not because pain is pleasant, but because endurance changes the man you become—at home, at work, and in the quiet moments your kids remember.

Ever think, “I’m just a guy… what real difference can I make?” You’re not alone. But God isn’t looking for perfect men — just obedient ones. Our I’m Just a Guy Bible study on YouVersion has helped 20,000+ men see how God uses ordinary guys to do extraordinary things.

New Book: Unleashing The Lion Within

The enemy is relentless—doing everything possible to steal, kill, and destroy what matters most in your life. It’s time to fight back. True transformation happens when intentionality meets obedience. Take notes, apply these truths, and extend grace to yourself. Real change takes time—but if you stay faithful, the impact will reach far beyond what you can see. 👉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FLWYQJMB
