Most men spend their lives avoiding the fight.

Bernini’s David doesn’t.
He’s not posing. He’s not flexing.
He’s mid-motion. Muscles taut. Lips clenched. Eyes locked.

No applause. No audience. No filters.
Just the raw silence before impact.

Unlike Michelangelo’s contemplative giant or Donatello’s post-battle calm...

Bernini gives us the moment before.

The coiled will.

The spiritual fury.

The faith behind the sling.

David is not an artist's idea.

He's a man in the arena, a sculpted embodiment of Genesis 3:15.

The heel striking the serpent’s head.

And Bernini didn't just carve a hero.
He carved himself into the jawline. Into the furrowed brow. Look closely: David's face is Bernini’s.

Because every real man must fight his Goliath. Not one of us gets to opt out.

I set this as my wallpaper (feel free to steal it), not because it’s beautiful (it is), but because it reminds me:

The fight is now!

@creation247 Lord have mercy. Killing the little baby because of Down Syndrome is heartbreaking.

[Father's Wisdom @MitchWaystone]

@CultureExploreX Not sure we have the humility yet.

[Father's Wisdom @MitchWaystone]

@SarahHuckabee @libsoftiktok Or, hear me out...

Politics is crazy versus crazy, now.

[Father's Wisdom @MitchWaystone]

@OrthodoxHistory @scc_osi @richardrohlin Yes, we see it in our little rural Antiochian country parish. This growth will not slow soon either. When we look at how young our parish is and the babies all the young families are having, it is truly miraculous.

Glory to God for all things.

@FChristopher77 Thank you, father. Lord have mercy on me the sinner.

The world will keep getting louder.

That is the one thing you can count on.

The question is whether you will still hear the truth when it does.

Truth & Prosperity. For men building something that outlives them. https://t.co/k6cwdm1y0T

Saint Seraphim of Sarov:

"Acquire the spirit of peace, and thousands around you will be saved."

Most men are trying to fix their family, their finances, their faith.

Fix your attention first. Everything downstream of attention is downstream of silence.

@Manupgodsway1 Father of 4 here: it's the steady lessons in diligence, courage, and presence at the dinner table, in their life, and in prayer.

When the world drifts; we build fortresses of faith.

[Father's Wisdom @MitchWaystone]

@StrengthNPurpos I wonder why?

Oh...

[Father's Wisdom @MitchWaystone]

@TheeJoelLopez Great post, brother!!!

[Father's Wisdom @MitchWaystone]

Boaz modeled redemption: pouring his wealth, name, and future into a foreign widow and her bitter mother-in-law to restore a dead family line.

Obedience to the God who redeems what looks hopeless.

Real love always costs more than it returns on paper.

[Joel Lopez | Save Your Marriage @TheeJoelLopez]

Dave: You said your name was what?

Caller: Boaz

Dave: Ok, what's going on?

Boaz: I want to marry a foreign widow, redeem her family's land, support her mother-in-law, and spend my money restoring an inheritance that won't benefit me

Dave Ramsey: "Can you afford it?"

Boaz: "Yes."

Modern day Christians would call Boaz and idiot and tell him to get a prenup.

@MrDanielBuck Top interview questions.

What are your favorite books? What is a recent book you read?

Don't hire non-readers for any management or leadership role.

Ah. A year ago. Standing over the main street of Venice, seeing our first beautiful Italian art, and indulging in Venetian cuisine. Makes me want to return.

Something is wrong.

You cannot name it. But it is there. A splinter in your mind.

The life you are living is not the life you were supposed to be living.

Someone made the trade for you while you were not paying attention to things in your control.
