Feeling Squeezed By Your Past? Cutting Soul Ties

Still Trapped? I realize this is an odd question after months of major restrictions, but do you ever feel trapped? I mean trapped in a toxic relationship or to an event from your past that you just can’t seem to shake. These can be what’s called Soul Ties. They’re supernatural bonds that create long-lasting relationships going deeper than surface-level friendships. Often, soul ties are positive connections uniting people. Ever met someone and instantly you felt a deep loyalt

Father’s Day Can Be A Tough One

Stunned Leah and I were having supper with a couple from church this week and as it was the first time we’d all spent time together, we shared our testimonies and bits and pieces from our pasts. The man shared that he had enjoyed an incredibly loving relationship with his dad all the way from childhood until the day he had passed away. I was kinda stunned and didn’t really know how to respond to that. I think I said something like, “That’s rare.” He nodded, and agreed. I felt

Why Sitting In Church Is Bad For Men

We Have A Crisis Look around your church on any given service and the odds are you’ll see more women and kids than you will men. Why? Because men have left the building. And therein lies the problem. Church has become about the building, not the body. Although today’s mega-churches are pulling in thousands of people every week, fewer and fewer of them are men. The building as a holy place where holy people gather to act holy once a week isn’t keeping men in the seats. Honestl

Profiles In Personal Pain: Which One Are You?

What’s really eating away at you? Are regrets consuming your thoughts so you’re forced to shut them down? Can you sit in silence without a mental movie flooding your brain and demanding that you fill the quiet? You’re not alone. The pain we carry from our past is tucked away and always available to muck up our lives or turn gold star moments into brown star regrets. Reality of Pain We allow pain, shame and regret to consume us with stress over how to cope with it. Unfortunate

Power to the People (God’s People)

Power to the People (God’s People) I often wonder how many men who finally drop their hard exterior to accept the free gift of God’s loving grace, are soon turned away from pursuing Christ thanks to “religion.” Don’t let it get complicated. – God loves you – God is not mad at you – God forgives you – God wants to hang out with you – God wants to bless you “The legalistic mind basically mistrusts the free operation of God’s spirit in the church because the Spirit blows where i

Breaking The Chains Of Past Pain | Five Stones

I’m thankful to be a part of Five Stones University’s online self-improvement course development. I was able to design several courses just for men. The first two are 30-day challenges that lead brothers along a daily walk toward restoration. This new course, Breaking The Chains Of Past Pain was created using God’s words of instruction and encouragement as a foundation for your life. It’s very personal, as I also share so many difficulties I endured while struggling with the

8 of 31 Days: It Was Me

8 of 31 Days: It Was Me Have you ever felt your spouse’s tears roll across your shoulder? Over the last few weeks Leah and I had engaged in what we like to call, “spirited fellowship”. While I’m fairly easy-going by nature, I still have that man-mind tendency to flare up the feathers when I feel disrespected or threatened. Leah had done neither, but I sensed something being wound up tight inside my spirit. I couldn’t put a finger on it, but it felt old and it felt familiar. S

Unforgiveness: It’s Your Jailer

Unforgiveness: It’s Your Jailer Struggling with past relationships, regrets or recollections that stir misery or pain in your life? Don’t misunderstand the negative power of unforgiving. It does cause pain, and can lead to physical illnesses and emotional misery. It’s sort of a pain prison where the ones we refuse to forgive are our jailers. They tug the chain, and we feel the pain. We can cut that invisible cord right this second by forgiving them. The three keys to genuinel

3 Greatest Needs In Life & Only One Place To Find Them

Our 3 Greatest Needs In the 80’s, I used to twist up the volume when David Lee Roth belted out “I Ain’t Got Nobody.” Actually, I’m partial to all of the music from that era, but that song was on my heart today. This section of the song could apply to any one of us; “I ain’t got nobody Nobody, nobody cares for me, nobody, nobody I’m so sad and lonely Sad and lonely, sad and lonely Won’t some sweet mama come and take a chance with me? ‘Cause I ain’t so bad” We were created for

Sex Addiction: Blue Lights in a Red Light District

Anytime we begin to discuss pain or addiction in the public square, people get real quiet. This article that I wrote helped shake things up. Posted on 01-16-18 in Law Enforcement Today I Didn’t Know It was true 30 years ago and it’s still true today. The first time I was told, “Your badge will get you sex (he used the “p” word), and sex will get your badge,” was in the police academy. I kinda smiled because honestly, I didn’t have a clue what the sergeant meant. I wasn’t naïv

Policing & Personal Pain: Freedom for Healing from Your Past

I wrote this piece for Law Enforcement Today. I once contributed to this great resource from a chief of police perspective on policy and leadership, but now focus on well being, spiritual health and family because that’s where God has led me to serve. READ ARTICLE Healing from your past is about gaining freedom from the things, people or events that have shackled you down and prevented you from knowing God’s glorious plans for your life. For I know the plans I have for you,”

Lysa Terkeurst: The Male Response To Divorce And Why

The News My wife shared an article about divorce with me written by Lysa Terkeurst, the founder of Proverbs 31 Ministry. We’re both big fans of her site and social media platforms, which reach about 40 million people. It empowers women and family, and is a wonderful resource for all. I’d say that prior to Lysa’s June 13, 2017 article, Rejection, Heartache, and a Faithful God, she, her life and marriage were the standards by which millions of people measured their own. She was
