As we get ready for SESSION 3 OF THE ENDURANCE SERIES… we are going to ask a question that will help us apply today’s study and here it is… are you ready? What is something you have done that was REALLY HARD and TOOK SOME TIME, but when you finished the process you said to yourself, “That was worth it.” I know that some of you immediately thought about a physical race…you trained hard physically for that race … you finished it … or set a personal record…or even won! Lots of guys can identify wit...

SESSION 2 Everybody knows that if you are going to be walking, or running, or riding a long distance … LIGHTER is better. Think about it. Can you imagine a marathon runner at the starting line holding 50lb. dumbbells in his hands? You would say “That guy is a dumbbell!” because you know he will not get very far before he has to stop to rest or give up all together. Here is the thing though…as unimaginable as that seems …so many of us are doing the exact same thing in our journey with God…spiritu...

SESSION 1 So many things in our lives are requiring less and less time. High tech advancements have shortened just about every aspect of our lives. Think about it. We can send (hold up phone) and expect for someone to receive a personal text message half way around the world and then that person can respond to us as long as there WIFI. So many things can happen so fast and, nowadays, there is not a lot of patience for things that take a long time, for situations that can’t be fixed quickly, or f...

SESSION 5 – TRANSFORMING WITH GOD We get pictures sent in from churches in every part of the country and world that show men in fellowship halls, around tables, using the outlines, and having discussions. Question: How is men’s ministry going in your church? Do you have a weekly study you can count on to touch and transform men? If you like what the Every Man livestream is doing for you personally, think about what it could mean to the other men in your church or community. We believe that God i...

It helps everyone else watching realize that there are thousands of men, just like them, that God is calling to live out their truest identity as a Son of the King. As we get ready to receive God’s word for today, I want you to think of a time when you were on walk or maybe a hike with someone. Doesn’t matter where the walk is happening – in the city, out in the country, or on the ocean – but the goal is to walk together and experience what ever you see, whatever you sense, or whatever you encou...

SESSION 2 – BEING WITH GOD No matter where you are tuning in from just know that there are thousands of your brothers tuning in with you who are part of a movement of Spirit Empowered men called to be Dangerous with Goodness in your part of the world. When it comes to being with someone – it’s easy to be in the same space. But depending on what is happening on the inside you might be in the right space but your heart is in a totally different space. That’s why Jesus would say things like “They h...

We are starting a new series called WITH GOD. So to get you ready for today’s message from God’s Word let me ask you a ...

I think every man watching and listening today would agree that having a clear goal in mind gives you more focus, better energy, and a greater chance at success. No brainer right? Well did you know that God's man only needs to have one goal in mind when it comes to his relationships with God? That's right ... no matter where you are, who your with, or what circumstance you find yourself in - you just have to have one goal in mind - ready for it ? PLEASE GOD. Not always EASY - but that is what Je...

We are glad you are here for this week's study and, more importantly, God is pleased! In fact, that is what we are talking about in this series called Live to Please. What we are learning is that God is way more concerned about WHY we do the things we do more than WHAT we actually do. Think about it for a second. Have you ever said or done good things on the outside but for the wrong reasons on the inside? Oftentimes as men we want others to think about us a certain way and in order to achieve t...

Standing In the Gap JP Jones One transformed man can transform many things. That's what God says. In fact, he is looking for him, for them, for the ones who will "stand in the gap" for God's purposes and on behalf of others when things get hard. And if you live in today's culture as a man of God - well - things are getting harder and harder to stand out in the pressure of all the bad choices men are making and all the bad press and attention that is getting. You wouldn't be blamed for retreating...

Clarity is a great thing. With a clear sense of anything you see, sense, and act confidently. Without clarity there is just confusion, wasted energy, and frustration. This is especially true when it comes to man's motivation for how he lives his life. When a man knows his motivation it focuses his concentration, garners his energy, and fuels his actions. In other words, when a man has clarity on his "why" he is not shy! The Bible says that as men who claim to know and follow Jesus, our motivatio...

Sometimes small things end up being huge things in relationships. A healthy and close connection can be ruined and replaced by distance and division by something you can't even see or hear or touch. Do you know what it is? Your attitude! That's right - people may hear your words or see the right actions but they SENSE your attitude. Did you know that just like parents often require an attitude adjustment from their children so that relationships work well in the family, God has expectations for ...

Today's digital culture has accelerated a very destructive human habit - it's our tendency to compare. If you don't believe that just take a look at what people post on their INSTAGRAM and FACEBOOK feeds. Take a look at what you post - only your very best self, on your very best days, in your very best moments as if your post reflects your normal life. It all appears very satisfying - LOOK, LOOK... I am doing great in this great place drinking this great beverage with these great people doing gr...

THE WONDERFUL UNKNOWN Big journeys require big courage and faith. Think Columbus. Think Lewis and Clark. Think the astronauts of Apollo 11. What they all have in common is that their starting point and their finishing point required a certain tolerance of the unknown. There were so many factors they could never predict or control. And, yet, they all said "yes." In the same way, our truest identity in God calls us personally to destinations of character, growth, and challenge that are not easy to...

Have you ever been in a situation where you were stuck and no solution was anywhere in site? Maybe you get a flat tire in the middle of nowhere ...and your cell phone is dead. Let's turn it up a notch...imagine that you have survived a shipwreck and you are marooned on some remote island with no ability to communicate. Not a good feeling. Or how about a real world problem - human trafficking - held against your will, forced to do whatever your owner asks, with no hope of escape. In every one of ...

Have you ever heard a man say "That was a game-changer for me?" Maybe you have said that yourself. Looking back, something powerful happened that shaped or reshaped his perspective on a person or issue in a profound way. Ask a medal of honor "survivor" - those are the people who lived because someone else chose to sacrifice their own life save them. They are forever changed in a specific way - deep sense of responsibility to honor the sacrifice by the way they choose to live going forward. Why? ...

MADE FOR MORE #4 Ask any room full of men this question: How many of you owned super hero clothes or toys growing up as a boy? What will you see? Almost every hand will be raised. Ever wonder why the Marvel and DC comic movies like Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, and Batman do so well? It’s because that little boy - the one who wants to be great, do great things, have special powers, bring justice, and defeat evil lives is still inside us. Did you know that desire inside you is out there by...

They are 18 inches apart. They oversee major organization. They re working every day and night for you until you die. They are mission critical to your relationships with God and people’. They have to work together. Do you know what they are? I am talking about your head and your heart - the two CEOs of your life. But sometimes even when we want things e “know” to get to the place we sense inside so we can really know it - sometimes the elevator gets stuck. The one thing that has to Make it from...

As men, we are naturally embedded with the desire for greatness. We want to save the day and be the hero. But what what do we do if that desire and dream for greatness begins to fade? Culture and reality can slowly decay our God-given desire for greatness. Today, we want you to know that it’s not too late. When you can find your purpose and meaning in Christ, you can still find greatness.

Part 2- There is the life we expect to live. Then life has a way of bringing unscripted things into our lives that were never a part of our plan. At Every Man we know that some of you out know exactly what I am talking about. You didn’t plan to lose a family member. You didn’t expect to have a health issue that sidelined you. You didn’t expect to be single again. When unplanned thing interrupt our lives it is easy to feel like our purpose in God is also sidelined. Nothing could be further from t...

Jesus made an audacious claim regarding anyone who believed in him. He said "whoever believes" ... "will do" the things he did and "even greater things" than he did. A normal response to that would be... Really? Was he serious? What does it look like? And, perhaps most importantly... am I accountable for that? As we will see in today's study the answer to that question is YES. Just like a farmer who plants a fruit tree expects for that tree to yield what it is designed to produce, when you are p...

Session 5 - OBEY ANYWAYS Over the last four sessions we have been coming to face to face with the reality that the life of following Jesus involves a tension. It's the pressure of feelings pushing against the purposes of our faith. It's what we see in our circumstances versus the unseen purposes of God being worked out in the midst of those circumstances. It's culture trying to tell us what a man is and how he should act and Jesus' example and call upon our lives to be like him. In no area of sp...

The Different World of Generosity When it comes to the topic of generosity most people's thoughts track toward the financial dimension. In contrast to this natural response, the Bible says that when a Christian hears the word "generosity" there thoughts should naturally gravitate toward God - the one who is described in the Bible as the "one who will withhold no good thing" and who, in Christ, lavishes his grace on us. An experience like that with a generous God should make believers in Jesus th...

Not sure if you have noticed but around the world masculinity is under attack because men who have been given responsibility, power, and influence and are using it selfishly causing others to suffer versus using their strength to serve others. Against this dark backdrop in culture, Jesus is calling for a new movement of men to rise. Men who know how to go against the culture and their impulses to serve others versus make them suffer. What we want you to know here at Every Man is that if you are ...
