A boy is born. But a man is built through pain, failure, rejection, loss, disrespect, loneliness, and heartbreak. Manhood isn’t gifted. It’s forged. Pay the price.
Only a dad can stay up until 2am, wake up at 6, be in debt, broke, alone, and still believe that one day everything will work out. That’s the strength of a dad.
Science says we need four basic elements to survive:
- Food
- Water
- Air
- Light
Now here's what Jesus says:
- I am the bread of life
- I am the living water
- I am the breath of life
- I am the light of the world
Science was right, we all need Jesus.
For Memorial Day, do yourself a favor and take three minutes of your time to listen to this Civil War letter from Maj. Sullivan Ballou to his wife.
I just started re-watching the Ken Burns series, which debuted in 1990 to a record-breaking audience of 40 million, for the first time since it originally aired.
While I had forgotten all of the specifics of the show over the years, I NEVER forgot this letter or this moment, which closed the first episode.
Burns kept a copy of the letter in his wallet for 25 years.
Prayer is not about informing God like He doesn’t already know what’s happening in your life.
He already knows your needs, your struggles, your fears, and even the things you haven’t said out loud yet.
Prayer is about relationship.
It’s about spending time with God.
Trusting Him.
Depending on Him.
Opening your heart to Him.
And sometimes prayer is less about changing God’s mind and more about changing our hearts.
The more you pray, the more your desires start aligning with His will.
Even Jesus prayed constantly.
Not because He needed information from heaven,
but because He valued fellowship with the Father.
That alone says a lot.
Prayer is not a performance or a religious activity.
It’s communion with God.
From our country’s beginning, for as long as America has embodied freedom and exceptionalism, the soul of our nation has been rooted in the Christian faith.
Today we gather, as our forefathers did on this day centuries ago, to rededicate our nation to God.
Thank you, Yukon, for passing this bond and investing in our indoor facility.
The football team saw it for the first time today… their reaction said it all.
Belief is back. 2026 is coming. #MillerNation
Dads...kids are shaped by what you consistently model. If church is optional, it's seen as unnecessary. If prayer is rare, it'll never be prioritized. If you pray, they'll pray. If you forgive, they'll forgive. Faith is not a single event. It's a pattern✝️
